ALMOST ROMANUR.
i Fortum* in
From Nothing
$10,800 it Month Income.
(From Cushiug Citizen.)
From an itinerant peddler to an
Income of $10,800 a month is the
romantic fortune of M. S. Mussel-
Jem, a Syrian who seven years ago
arrived in Muskogee with a worn
out horse with a few rugs and linens
-which he was peddling from door to
door. Mussellem was drowned out
during the flood In Kansas City seven
years ago and with his wife started
over again a peddler, coming to Ok-
lahoma to make his home and his
fortune, he hoped. He has succeed-
ed beyond hJs exalted expectation.
In fact Mussellem and his wife do not.
yet realise how Tich they are Their
fortune came suddenly and accus-
tomed to figure in pennies, they hard
ly realize what it means to figure in
tens of thousands of dollars.
Mussellem made his fortune 'in
oil and made it by accident. After
coming to Muskogee he continued
to be a peddler. With his meager
tarings he and his wife decided that
the best think they could do would
be to buy land. They had to buy
•heap land because they did not have
money enough to buy any other kind.
When the government was selling the
remnants of unallotted land in the
Creek nation Mussellem decided that
was his chance, for most of the land
-was in small tracts and generally not
eonaldered of value for agricultural
purposes. Most of it he bought for.
$1.60 per acre. Some he paid as
bigh as $3.50 per acre, but he studied
long and worried over putting that
much money into land. He finally
••cured 80 acres of rough, rocky land
on a hilltop In Creek county. It was
covered with rocks and brush, it did
not look like It was worth more than
$1.60 per acre which Mussellem paid
for It. And if fortune had not been
flirting with him it never would have
been. But (t so happened that this
eighty acres of land lies in what was
later developed Into the Cushing oil
fleld. The land that he hoped some
flay by hard work to make Into a
farm that would produce a living for
himself and wife suddenly acquired
a value better than a gold mine.
One day an oil man came along
and offered Mussellem $10,000 bonus
for an oil lease on the eighty. He
Closed the trade, getting one-eighth
royalty oil alt Oil found In addition
to the bonus. A dflii was sunk intq
the earth to great depth. Then a
charge of nitro-glycerine was shot in
the bottom of the hole and Mussel-
lem’s fortune gushed forth. That

PUHLK HEALTH DEPT.
Conducted by Dr. J. C. Mahr,
State Commissionerof Health
During the past ten days many
inquiries have been made as to the
number of cases of typhoid fever ex-
isting in certain towns in the state
of Oklahoma, showing a decided un-
easiness on the part of the public and
a general belief that it is more pre-
valent in Oklahoma than heretofore.
Readers will probably be interested
in knowing that in the month of
July, 1911. there was five hundred
and tw'enty-five cases of typhoid fever
reported and eighty-three deaths. In
the month of July, 1912, three hun-
dred and eight cases and forty-four
deaths, and in the month of July,
1913, there was three hundred and
sixty-three cases and forty-one
deaths This proves that typhoid
fever has not prevailed to such an
extent this year as it has in previ-
ous years.
Typhoid fever is a preventable dis-
ease and is d-ue primarily to filth.
This disease can only be contracted
when you have taken into the mouth
the germs that have passed from
some typhoid fever patient’s bowels.
The germs can be carried by flies,
filth and dirty fingers, as well as con-
taminated water and milk.
1 am of the opinion that of the
number of cases of typhoid reported
that only about fifty per cent is real-
ly typhoid fever This opinion is
formed from the laboratory reports
made from blood specimens that
have been sent to the laboratory for
examination, where only about forty
per cent are found positive. This
year the state is furnishing anti-
typhoid vaccine free of cost to those
who are uable to pay for the same,
if every one in Oklahoma was vac-
cinated againBt typhoid fever the dis-
ease would soon be stamped out.

in Oklahoma, writes under date of
August 15th, requesting that he be
put on the mailing list for the Board
of Health Bulletin. We regret that
we were required to discontinue the
