AT LAST.
Flit City Council Met Last Nigqt for
the First Time For Seven Weeks.
WO KEl) NEARLY
ALL NIGHT.
The Record of the Council for the Last
Six Months Read and Approved—
A Scheme to tap the City
Treasury Appeared for
the First Time.
The common council of the city of
Enid gathered together last night
lor the first time for seven weeks.
One of the solans mentioned the fact
that the council had been in the habit
of despensing with the reading of the
minutes for six or seven months
back, and as the term of the present
council would expire in a few weeks
it was necessary to read and approve
the minutes before the mayor could
sign them; in other words, complete
unfinished business. A motion was
made and carried that the clerk
read the minutes beginning at the
time the last minutes were read and
approved "away back yonder in the
good old last summer time."
Always-vvants-his-salary-raised Snif-
fy Lee proceeded to read the minutes
which were real "interestin readin"
in some spots. Sniffy read on, and
on, until after the clock had struct
12, midnight, and then some. Many
of the wise twelve fell asleep during
the reading, but that didn't relieve I
Sniffy any; he just kept on reading j
until his little articulator began to
squeak audibly hoarse.
• After this great reading feast sub- j
sided, the bills were taken up. Some- j
thing over *1,500 in bills had accuniu- I
lated and the most of them were al- j
lowed, but Gannon lowed that a few I
of them had better be referred to the |
finance committee.
A statistical citizen who listened to
the reading of the minutes, kept tally !
on the motions Gannon made during
the last six months. They figured up
to "44.
Various subjects were touched on,
of more or less importance and in-
terest. (See official Boiler Plate.)
Every sleepy man in the house
woke up startled when an ordinance
was introduced for the first time
which proposes to raise the salaries
of the city officers so that the graft
on the city government would be
worth struggling for. It provides
for the raising of the mayor's salary
from $100 per year to $500 per year.
Quite a mammoth raise that; just
$41(9.00. Seems the council cannot
do anything just right; they seem to
jump from ridiculousness to contor-
tion all the .time. They either pay
nothing or too much. Perhaps the
mayor should have about $200 a year,
or just enough to pay him for the
little time he consumes in the in
lerestofthe city and the balance
of his salary should be honor, as of
uire.
It provides for raising the city
clerk's salary from $40 to $50 per
month. This was pleasing to Sniffy
Lee as he expects to "git re-elected."
The facts are that Lee has spent
more time during the last two year*
to "git" his salary raised than In the
A HEALTH POLICY
The system is, from natural
causes, debilitated or run-down
both in the spring and fall. The
seasons' changes are always a tax
ou the human organism. The
blood becomes impure in the
spring, and vitality lags in the fall.
A little care, a little assistance,
and nature will do the rest, as it is
always trying to maintain health.
Frequently the weakest organ will
show the most disorder, and this
often lends to wrong treatment.
For the debilitated conditions
of spring or fall, or any other
time, for that matter, tne right
thing to do is to build up the
whole system. It is not your stom-
ach, or liver, or nerves alone that
cause the trouble; you are weak-
ened all over and must have re-
newed strength and vitality. These
you cannot get so
quickly or surely or j
safely as by using

he couldn't atTord to license many

satisfactory. No rctlerence was
made to the various Nicaragua ca-
nals now being excavated in various
parts of the city.
A motion to heat the fire house by
steaui was tabled.
A motion to deoderize ''Henry's
hole" down by the waterworks was
defeated as the price of dcoderizing
had advanced beyond the city's
means after the salaries would be
raised.
The meeting adjourned early this
morning.
Don't Give It All.
There never was a paper in any
locality that, gave all the news. It
is often that people come and go
that the reporter dose not see. It
happens that a family is missed sev-
eral times. They !*et the impression
that the paper do.-e not care to
mention them. It is a mistake. The
paper has no ill feeling, no spite, no
enmity against anybody in hunting for
news. Most people take the local
paper. Do not be afraid to give the
reporter news of interest. Perhaps
you think the paper shows partiality,
l but try and see if it don't treat you
well if given a chance.

Cucumbir Beetle on Melon Vines.
It is reported that the striped cu-(
cumber beetle was of damage In the
Oklahoma melon crop last summer.
In localities where such was the
case, early preparations should be
made for disposing of this insect
during this season.
In addition to the preventive mea-
sures of cleaning up rubbish and a
thorough cultivation of the melon
ground, the use of bordeaux mixture
as a repellent, and squash as a trap
crop are among the most promising
of the remedies recomended by those
who have successfully dealt with this
insect.
Squashes are planted four days be-
fore the melons. One or more rows
of squashes should be planted accord-
ing to the size of the field. Some
of the trap plants may be dusted
with Paris green when the beetles
gather on them. Others should be
left to attrack the ! eetl a through
the summer.
It seems that spraying the young
melon vines with the Bordeaux mix-
ture not only repels the cucumber
beetle, but aiso poison.-, some of the
insects which feed on the sprayed
leaves. - Kxperiment Station.

SEVERE ATTACK. OF GUI P.
Cured bp une Holtle of Chamberlain '.t

"When I had an attack of the grin
last winter (the second one) I actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
chamberlain's Cough Remedy," say«
Frank W. Perry, editor i ' the Kntcr-
|)rise,Shortsvil!e. N. Y. "This is ti*-
honest truth. I at tiou s kept from
coughing myself to pieces bv takinira
teaspoonful of this remeih. and when
the couching spell would" couie on ai
night I would take a dos ■ aiu'itseen*
ed that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass otT and 1 would got.
sleep perfectly free from cough and
itn aecompanitig pains. To say that
the remedy acted a> ,i m -t agreeable
surprise is putting it mildly. I had ot
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because I had never
tried it lorthat purpose,but it did,and
it seemed with the second attack o'
coughing the remedy caused it to uot
only be of less duration, but the pail*,
were far less seiere, and I had not
used the contents of one bottle beforr
M i. Grip had bid me adieu." 1'oj tsV;
