Stockholders.
The stockholders of the Com-
mercial club building scheme met
in the office of the Andrew King-
kade company, Tuesday night, to
perfect the organization, and take
steps to apply for a charter as a
corporation. The name selected
for the company was the "Com
mercial Club Company" and the
capital stock placed at 810,000;
200 shares of stock at $50 each,
all stock to be fully paid up and
non-assessable. For purposes of
incorporation the nine directors
Qf the Commercial club were
named as directors of the Build-
ing club, viz: James D. Maguire,
D. L- Larsh, D. R. Boyd, A. D.
Acers, W. M. Newell, Andrew
Kingkade, W. N. Hayes, C. H.
Bessent and J. J. Burke. The
purpose of the corporation is to
buy, sell, own, improve and trans-
fer real estate, own personal prop-
erty, and for other purposes. It
was reported that the first 100
shares of the stock had been sub-
scribed for. No more stock will
be placed on the market except by
order of the board of directors.
The stockholders will have an-
other meeting tomorrow (Friday)
night, when it is expected the
charter will be here, the stock is-
sued, the location of building de-
cided upon, and other matters ar-
ranged- A committee consisting
of D. R. Boyd, Will Sinnott, R.
J. Morgan, E- B. Johnson and D.
L- Larsh, with Chairman Ma-
guire as ex-officio member, was
appointed to secure location prop-
ositions.
The two principal locations be-
ing considered are the Farmers'
Grain Co.'s corner on Main and
Santa Fe, and one of the four
corners of Main and Craw-
ford avenue. The list of share-
holders of the first 85,000 worth
of stock, with number of shares
the field.

court. It is probable the matter
will have to go through the
courts, as Mr. Gorton seems very
strenuous in his demands. Should
it be condemned, the amount fixed
upon by the appraisers could be
paid into court and work proceed
on the buildings, etc., just the
same as if the deal bad been
closed.

The Oklahoma Sanitarium.
It is doubtful if any state in
the Union takes better care of its
unfortunate insane and idiotic
people than Oklahoma, and cer-
tainly no state lias a manager
better qualified, or more careful
of the health and comfort of
these poor people, than Dr.
Threadgill. The sanitary con-
dition of the bildings is as per-
fect as it can be, and the health
of the 335 inmates is looked after
with as much care as if they
were the most intelligent people
in the land. A recent addition
to the medical and surgical force
of the institution is Drs. Cap-
show and Lowther, who will act
as visiting physicians, and assist
the resident physidian three days
in the week or more often if nec-
essary. They rank with the best
physicians and surgeons of the
territory, and Dr. Threadgill is
fortunate in securing their ser-
vices.
This is but another instance of
how Dr. Threadgill looks after
the unfortunates committed to
his care, and how careful he is
of their health and comfort.
The Electric Light Matter.
The city council took up the
electric light matter again at its
meeting on Monday night and
discussed it, It was thought a
proposition would be submitted
by Mr. Mosier and associates, of
Iowa, but they were not yet
ready, and an adjournment was
taken until tonight (Thursday)
I to give them more time.
I Mr. M. F, Brown was present
and talked over the matter with
the council. , It is believed he
will submit a new proposition,
something along the same lines
as his former one. One featuie
he proposed—and one which met
with the unanimous approval of
the council—was that every com-
pany or person submitting a prop-
osition should accompany it with
a certified check for $500 as an
evidence of good faith that tLc
franchise would be accepted ;uid
the contract carried out on the
lines laid down in their proposi-
tion, provided their proposition
was the one accepted by the coun
cil. This is fair to all parties,
and should certainly be insisted
upon by the council.
There is considerable talk in
favor of the cicy putting in its
own electric l.i^'ut piant( but it
conceded that Norman is no!
present in a position financial:,
to do so, and, besides, it is the
experience, information and ol
servation of those who have in-
vestigated the matter, that nof
one plant in ten put in by a city
gives satisfactiou or pays run
ning expenses.
Every point in this important
matter should be thoroughly con-
sidered by the council before a
final decision is made-
Sheriff Smith's Bloodhounds
Sheriff Smith received two
thoroughbred bloodhounds from
Shreve, Ohio, last week. They
are about IS months old and al-
ready well trained, and will be
used in running down criminals.
They are not very pretty animals,
but look as if well adapted for
the purpose; sort as if they woul.
give a criminal the heartburn '
even look at them.
