HARTSHORNE, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1911.
NUMBER 32.
TWO COUNCIL SESSIONS.
•Regular Meting- cn Monday
Night., Followed by Extra
One Tuesday Night.
Monday night's s«-ssi< n of tin-
council whs a rriiinrkalili' one,
for the great amount of time con-
sumed and the small amount ol1
business disposed of. While ii
was the first regular meeting for|
the month, and is always consid-
ered the most important session
of the month, yet this meeting
was devoted principally to the
Scientific Study of the History
and Development of the Mosquito,
Its Relation to the Human Fam-
ily, and Methods Recommended
for Its Annihilation.
The following is a summary of
the session:
The reports of the various city
officers for the month were re-
ceived.
The matter of collecting 15 per
cent, interest on the daily bal-
ance of city funds was referred
to the finance committee.
A motion to take up claims
and accounts against the city was
lost for want of a second.
The finance committee and the
city attorney were ordered to
settle with .lames Forsythe with
the power to act, and to ascer-
tain if the sinking fund of the
city could be used for the pur-
chase of sidewalk warrants. The
same committee was also asked
to devise some means whereby
the biir of Mr. Forsythe for
building the water trough, might
be paid.
Dr. Bond the city's newly ap-
pointed health officer, was not
present when the reports of the
other officers were made, but he
came in later and Mayor Grady
called upon him for a report. lie
stated that his first recommenda-
tion would be that all ponds
within the city be drained within
the next thirty days, lie also
called attention to the fact that
a new school building as well as
several dwelling houses, are be-
ing erected adjacent, to the city
watershed, and that lie felt that
the builders of the same should
be enjoined from further work,
and that the land should be con-
demned or purchased immediate-
ly, in order to protect the city
water supply.
As soon as the report was
completed. Alderman DeGrotf
took the floor and asked for in-

formation as to why only the
ponds were to be singled out as
a menace to health, and why
should they be ordered removed
so suddenly 1
Dr. Bond then proceeded to
give his reasons for his order.
His talk was quite lengthy and
was an able discussion of the
question from a scientific stand-
point. His principal reason was
that the ponds were a breeding
place for mosquitoes, and that if
the same were drained now in
the fall of the year, all danger
from them would be removed be-
fore next summer. The doctor
stated that he was well aware
that his action in this regard
would bring forththe "damns" of
of many, but that he proposed to
do his duty as health officer, at
all hazards.
Mr. DeQroff again took the
floor, and stated that while the
officer's report might be a good
one,, he did not think it went
far enough. lie desired to in-
clude in the order that all empty
tin cans within the city be dis-
pensed with, and that all water
closets on the alleys on each side
of Pennsylvania avenue be con-
nected with the sewer.
A motion carried that the city
attorney and the health officer be
empowered to take such action
as is necessary concerning the
contamination of the watershed.
A motion then carried that the
city health officer and the city
attorney take up any proposition
relating to the health of the city,
with power to act.
It was ordered that the audit-
ing committee audit the city
books for the past three months,
or secure someone to do it.
The question of payment on
city lots was referred to the fin-
ance committee.
Another effort was made at
this time to take up the claims
against the city, but some mem-
bers of the couoil desired to ad-
journ until the following night,
as it was gelling late. Mayor
Grady stated that he was willing
to stay all night if necessary, to
complete the business, but that
he would not attend anoth r ex-
tra session of council, unless mat-
ters of vital importance were to
be considered.
A motion carried that the meet-
ing adjourn until Tuesday night.
President Servvinsky presided
at this meeting, and nothing was
taken up excepting the bills
against the city! All bills which
had been 0. K'd, were approved
and allowed, including officers
pay in full, which bad heretofore
been approved for only 8t> per
cent, of the full amount.
A BIG DAY SATURDAY.
Fifth Monthly Trades Day Prem-
ises to Be a Eiggier and Bet-
tar Affair Than Ever.
The big monthly Trades Day,
which is now a well established
feature, will occur Saturday.
This is the fifth one, and the ex-
pectations are that it will be
bigger and better than ever.
This time a handsome dining
room set, consisting of a dining
table and six chairs, will be giv-
en away. No one excepting the
merchants and their employes are
barred from contesting for the
prize.
Through an error in last
week's paper, it was stated that
a dinner set would be given
away. The ad should hare stal
ed that it was a "dining room
set'' consisting of a tabic and
six chairs, as described above.
DIES IN CHAIR.
J. H. Brazell, Another Harts-
horne Pioneer, Passes
Away Suddenly.
Another sudden death occured
in Hartshorne last Friday even-
ing. when .J. 11. Brazell, one of
the city's pioneers, was found
dead at the home of his son,
James Brazell.
Mr. Brazell was apparently in
the best of health at supper time,
having eaten heartily, and after-
wards he went out on the front
porch and sat down, as was his
usual custom. IIis son and wife
asked him to accompany them
on an auto ride a few minutes
later, but he declined. They
were gone for possibly half an
hour, when they returned to find
him sitting in the chair dead.
Mr. Brazell was one of the
oldest residents of the county,
and until a few years ago, was
actively engaged with bis son
in the lumber business. Since
this time, owing to his failing
health, be retired from business
and has been making his home
with bis don.
The remains were taken to Mc-
Alester Saturday afternoon, ac-
companied by a large number of
friends, and the funeral services
were held the following day at
2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Mr.
Carey, of The Central Presbyter-
ian church of that city. The fol-
lowing persons front this city
acted as pallbearers: Messrs.
John Martyn. Waldo Ltyvis. A. E.
McNeil, 11. L. Berry, Will Ander-
son and W. Savage.
At the Christian church Sun-
day morning: Subject—"Seek
First the Kingdom of God." At
night—"What a Man Must Do
to be Saved From Sin." C'ojnc
and help us make this a great
day.
