Pracautions Taken to Prevent
Spread of Yellow Fever
or Other Fever
Mayor Meibergen received the fol-
lowing letter from the secretary and
superintendent of the territorial
Board of Health Saturday. It speaks
for itself and our people should com-
ply with the warning for the sake of
the health of their families:
"Guthbie, O. T. Hept, 24, 1897.
"To the Hon. Mayor of Enid Oklaho-
ma.
My Dear Sir:—I desire to call your
attention and the attention of your
city council to the fact that the yel-
low fever is spreading with great
rapidity in the south. Cases from
five dilferant states have already
been reported to me officially. And
more especially 1 desire to call your
attention to the fact that Typhoid-
fever has been reported from a num-
ber of towns and cities in the terri-
tory, deaths having already occurred
owing to the exlstance of this dis-
ease.
It becomes yonr duty to see that
your city is placed in the very best
sanitary condition possible, and you
are hereby directed to have a'n in-
spection made of your privy-vaults,
cess-pools, hog-pens, chicken-yards,
etc., and have the same cleaned at
once.
Much of the Typhoid-fever that
has existed in the cities of Oklahoma
heretofore has been due to contamin-
ation of wells from privy-vaults and
cess-pools and the throwing of slops
and garbage on the su sface of the
ground near such wells. Therefore
the urgency of a strict examination
of your privy-vaults at once is a plain
necessity.
All manure and garbage pilts
should be removed and the alleys
kept in as clean a condition as are
your streets.
Beliveing that you will give this
the early attention desired. I remain,
Very respectfully yours,
L. Haynes Buxton,
Supt. of public health for Okla.
WHEAT AND SILVER.
The Republican press is striving to
answer the arguments advanced by
\V. J. Bryan in his article discussing
the recent rise in the price of wheat.
L'he happy method adopted by the
gentlemen of the Republican press is

last year and then triumphantly to

we presume, that it is making a lin-

cotton down.
If cotton was bringing a good price
the farmers of this section of Oklaho-
ma would be right in the swim. The
foreign cotton market is quite poor
and as Liverpool rules the market on
wheat she also rules the cotton mar-
ket for the world. The Britisher sets
the price and America has nothing to
say. The foreign demand for wheat
is good, as Russia, India and Austral-
ia produced but very little wheat this
year, and the outcome Is dollar
wheat for the American.—Shawne
Blade.
CALLAHAN LEFT OUT.
The omission of Mr. J. Y. Calla
han's name from the list of speakers
at the C. A. R. Reunion, as announc-
ed by the committee «on speakers,
lias crcatcd considerable feeling
among his friends here. His name
does not appear upon the posters but
this the committee explains by say-
ing that only speakers from abroad
were thu* advertised. Mr. Callahan's
friends say that, as the representa-
tive of the territory, he should have
been announced a prominently as
Governor Barnes or others In official
life, This point Is well taken, which
means the committee made a mistake
however, unintentionally. Their pur-
pose of Including him with the home
crowd of speakers was wrong from a
conventional standpoint, but mistakes
will happen.—Kingfisher Times.
G. A. R. REUNION.
Very lianosome bills have been dis-
tributed and posted advertising the
Oklahoma G. A. R. Reunion to be
held at Kingfisher, October 6th, 7th
and 8th. We expect everybody to
come and see us during those days
and be made welcome. While the ar-
rangein ents are in progress of forma-
tion, details cannot be expected, but
assurauce is given that all will be
in complete order when the time
comes for comfort and pleasure.
More than the usual per cent of
speakers invited, have promised to be
present. The time of year selected
is altogether favorable, in more ways
than one. It means good weather,
comfortable temperature and a holi-
day period for farmers when work
will not demand their presence at
home. Keep in mind the dates and
order your affairs that you can
take part In the reunion.—Kingfisher
Times.
kansas city grading
The following are the new Kansas
City standards for wheat. Paste it
in your hat for reference:
No. I—Shall be pure, hard winter
wheat, sound, plump and well cleaned,
and shall weigh not less than sixty
pounds to the bushel.
No. 2—Shall be sound, dry and .rea-
sonably clean hard wheat, and shall
weigh not less than 5ft pounds to the
bushel.
No. 3—Shall include hard winter
wheat, sound and some bleached, but
not clean and plump enough for No. 2.
and shall weigh not less than 66
pounds to the bushel.
No. 4—Shall Include hard winter
wheat, tough or from any cause so
badly damaged as to render it unfit
for No. 3, hard.
Rejected—All very damp, very
musty, trashy or dirty winter wheat.
RICH TRUCK.
"Alfalfa,"says an exchange paper,
"is better than a bank account, for,
draw on it as you may, it always
shows a balance to your credit, it is
equal to an artesian well for live wat-
er and bores to reach it. Cattle live
on it, hogs fatten on it, ^nd a hungry
horse wants nothing else. For filling
the milk can it beats the pump. Once
started on your land, it will stay with
you like a Russian thistle or a first-
class mortgage. .Vith atwenty-acre
alfalfa field, two milk cows and a
herd of hogs, a farmer is happy,
wealthy and wise."
ANOTHER BADG ER FIGHT.
Charley Sherrer had another bull
dog vs badger fight the other day.
Charley played bull dog himself this
time and another livery man played
badger. The badger got a little the
worst of it.

J. W. Baggett, of Oak Grove, Fla

him with very severe pains in the
chest. "I thought I would die,"
he writes; "but to my great joy, I
was saved by Chamberlain's Pain
Balm." Pains in the chest nearly
always indicate the approach of
pneumonia, and by promptly apply-

which should be bound on the chest,
an attack of pneumonia may be
prevented. It is always prompt and

OKLAKOMA'S NAVY.
Owing to the territory's excellent
laws governing the marine, the navy
is becoming more efficient every day
as the following from the Guthrie
Leader indicates:
"L. W. Wentzer, who lives at
Oneida, in the western part of King-
fisher county, has invented a compass
for steering vessels under water. He
says that a torpedo boat can be con-
ducted with it to an enemy's vessel
miles away unerringly. It can be
operated on the surface or submerged
with equal facilty. Wentzel hopes
to make his fortune out of It."
A LITTLE SNOW.
A man named Snow was made a
father a few nights ago, and he sent
his announcement to the local paper:
"A little snow drifted into my house
last night." This man will know
what it is to have a snow bawl in Sep-
tember; but instead of making things
cool in the family, It will make
things warm up a little.

TWO PARDONS.
Gov Barnes issued the following
pardons today: Mat Prince, of Wood-
ward who was sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary for grand larceny
in December, 1890. His pardon was
recommended by Chief Justice Dale
and many citizens of Woodward.
Macy Arnold, of Greer county, sen-
tenced for two years, in December.
1890, for burglary. His pardon was
recommended by the trial judge, Kea-
ton, all the jurors and county attor-
ney. He is a boy and the court prom-
ised when it pronounced sentence that
if he bore a good record in the peni-
tentiary he would recommend a par-
don.
hot shot.
Every time ex-Secretary Charles
Foster denies that the Harrison ad-
ministration contemplated a bond
issue they Hash his order to the Chief
of the Burfeau of Engraving and
Printing. This would squelch an or-
dinary man, but Charley goes ahead
making the denial.—Washington
Post.
It is hinted around in spots throug-
out the United States that the gov
ernment king of the fisheries, Grover
Cleveland, is again at work searching
the Bible for another name.
WHAT is IT?
Gov.Barnes has been accusing of ac-
cumulating dangerous dose of the big
head. Bill Vickers, of Alva, says'the
governor's disease is nothing more
than a caseiof "consciousness plus
consciousness." The Enid doctors
