For some time complaints have
been coming to the office of the terri-
torial board of health and the Live
Stock Sanitary board that decayed
meats were being shipped into the terri-
tory and sold to local dealers of Guthrie.
A claim to the board of health that a
car of meat containing several quarters
of decayed meat was in the local Santa
Fe yards was investigated last Thurs-
day and the assertion found to be true.
The decayed meat had evidently been
shipped in poor condition, as the re-
mainder of the car load was found to
be in good condition. The decayed
meat was ordered destroyed and shortly
afterwards the two boards held a joint
session and issued a letter of instruc-
tion to the members of the county board
of health and to the deputy cattle in-
spectors to suppress the sale of all
meat that they may deem injurious to
the public health.
The Oklahoma Agricultural Experi-
ment Station at Stillwater received the
following communication from a Paw-
nee County farmer 'on May 6, 1903:
"When at Pawnee a few days ago, I
met a man who was selling farm rights
for a preparation which he claimed
Vbuld destroy borers when put on trees
and would clear an orchard of gophers
when buried in the orchard. He said
that the Experiment Station had offered
him $3,000 for a half Interest in his
patent. Is the whole matter a fraud
and a lie or not?" It is. The station
knows nothing of such a preparation,
has made no offers for interests in
patents of any sorts, and warns farmers
against expending their money for this
and other varieties of "blue sky". It
is In Impossible to follow all of the fakes

Art Exhibit and Piano Recital.
The pupils ol Miss Marilla Adams
and Proffessor Sheridan H. Isaacs
will give an entertainment on Thursday
evening, May 28th at the assembly
hall of the Normal school.
The object of the work done in the
art department is not merely to make
something pretty, while we try to culti-
vate an appreciation of the beautiful,
we have other aims such as assisting
the devel'opement of the powers of ob-
servation, originality, and imagination,
the work done is what we believe to be
the best means toward this end.
Premiums will be awarded as fol-
lows: First and second each for the
best objects of nature. For the best
work from casts. For the best origin-
al architectural design. For the best
original design (any pattern designed
for a pu pose.) For the best work
done from copies. At eight o'clock a
short musical will be executed by the
pupils of Prof. Isaacs as given below:
Piano Solo—"Roses de Boheme"
