A Growing City.
important matters were considered
at the regular meeting of the city
council held Tuesday oveuing. An
ordinance repealing the ordinance li-
censing Sunday shows was discussed
and referred to the city attorney for
examination; bids for the seating of
the conventIon hall were opened and
referred to a committee for examina-
tion; the matter of the condemnation
of portions of the Hadley and Pil-
cher property on East Main street,
wkich lies in the street, was settled;
a hot shot was taken at the gas
company and It was ordered investi-
gated; and several matters of minor
importance were considered.
After the passage of bills, the fol-
lowing petition was presented to the
council, accompanying an ordinance
epealing the ordinance licensing
Sunday shows;
"We, the undersigned citizens of
he city of Shawnee, hereby repre-
ent as our sincere belief and upon
•ur bast Judgment, that the couduct
f picture shows, theaters and other
:>rms of amusement upon the Sab-
ath day as at present permitted In
*ur city, is a violation of the sacred
Sstltutlon of the Sabbath; that it
^nds to set at naught the public
3ace and rest and spiritual conse-
•atlon to which this holy day Is de-
" ted and that such violation and
I ndency constitute a public menace.
'"We, therefore, respectfully peti
Sn the mayor and council to past
ch measures and take such steps
your earliest convenience as will,
II your best judgment, absolutely pro-
>lt and prevent the further con-
ct of such shows and entertain-
"nts in our city on Sunday and on
Sday night."
Coleman moved that the ordinance
referred to the city attorney for
passed it would be a dead letter as
it had been tried here before and the
city had lost out on appeal. Burke
desired to wait until the Sunday law
now before the legislature Is Anally
passed upon. Pelpbrey withdrew his
substitute motion and Coleman's mo-
tion prevailed.
The city attorney brought up the
matter of the appeal in the Hadley
and Pllcher condemnation cases, in
which the condemnation committee
had assessed the damages for prop-
erty taken for a street at J75. He
stated that the case came up on ap-
peal today and that he believed he
could get a satisfactory settlement
without going to trial, and toward
this end desired that the council ap-
point a committee to consult with
him. The mayor appointed Austin,
Coleman and Hurford. This commit-
tee met with the city attorney after
the council meeting and agreed to a
settlement for $300, which it Is un-
derstood will be made today.
Williamson brought up the matter
of charges for gas. stating that the
bills were deceptive, as they gave
the impression that a discount was
allowed if paid before the 10th., and
the full amount thereafter, whereas
10 per cent was added to the full
I amount due on bills not paid before
the 10th. He questioned the right
of the gas company to collect this
extra 10 per cent, and the city at-
torney was Instructed to look into
the matter.
Prowse believed that meter read-
ings are frequently wrong and wanted
a city meter reader appointed.
The report of Police Judge Lock-
ridge showed fines collected for the
month of February, $386; back fines
collected, $72.

Aydelotte, between Tenth and Elev-
enth, was allowed.
A petition for an arc light at the
corner of Burns and Union was re-
ferred back to the petitioners.

corner of Draper and Ninth was re-
fused.

bee of Oklahoma City to sell a
scraper to Shawnee for $200 was
tabled.
The street and alley committee was
instructed to confer with the street

rived here last night and was given
an elaborate welcome, with a dinner
arranged at the governor's palace.

enjoyed by Mr. Roosevelt. The dance
was given by torch light in an open

tivities during the evening, and they
danced with increasing fervor as the

dance this morning the party pro-
ceeded to the lake No, which locality
abounds In game of every variety,
where the day will be spent in hunt-
ing.
