Common Council Meeting.

The common council met in regular session Monday evening. Following is a report of its proceedings; A few property owners on South Cullen street objected to the acceptance of the improvement on said street, owing to said improvement, as they claim from their own personal investigations, not being up to specifications; that it is from one inch to three inches shy in the depth of rock. The council, however, held a special meeting on the street corner some days previous and accepted the improvement, all of which was made a matter of record, and the objectors were too late. It is said by the objectors that they will resist the improvement assessments in the courts. The matter of assessments was referred to the city commissioners, who met Aug 19, and will report to the council. Improvement on Van Rensselaer street, between Washington and Cornelia, was accepted. J. H. S. Ellis and C. D. Nowels were appointed city commissioners, pro tern. Chief of Fire Dept, filed report giving names of firemen who attended the Eiglesbach and Gorham fires. No appropriation was made by the council, however. Specifications for improvement of River, Forest and Merritt streets were adopted as reported by the city engineer. Washington street was ordered repaired from Makeever House to river bridge with top dressing, etc., same manner as a part of said street has already been repaired. In matter of bids for city printing and stationery for year ending August, 1902, three bids were filed by The Democrat, Republican and Journal, respectively, as follows: Dem. Rep, Jour.

Each bid was supposed to be accompanied by a bond of SSOO, but The Democrat’s was the only bond that was properly acknowledged before a notary. For printing the city ordinance book The Democrat specified 500 copies, and the book will make about 75 pages; neither of the other bids specified the number of copies they would furnish, and one copy would comply with their bid if same were accepted.

Oklahoma Letter.

Under date of August 12, Henry Farmer writes J. A. McFarland of this city, an interesting letter from which we are permitted to publish the following extracts: Lawton, O. K., Aug. 12. Mr. McFarland: I told you when I came away that I would let you know what I thought of the prospects here. I came to Yukon one month ago today and stayed but a few hours. Worth was working in Elreno on the registration papers and had to be on hand at midnight Sunday night to commence. I went with him and we worked night and day, only getting an occasional nap between trains. We wete glad when it w’as over. The next week I spent riding on horseback over the new country. During the two weeks of sleepless toil and one of horseback-riding, I gained five pounds. Thus I thrived on exertion and exposure that would have exhausted me there. I have enquired and listened to conversations of old residents and Indians, until I am almost acquainted with the territory, and I believe it has a future in store for it that will be unsurpased. The soil is not all good for grain, but all produces splendid grass. There is much more rainfall here than in Kansas and more in the south end of the Territory than in the north. We have had several showers here at Lawton since I came and there has l>een a rain each day in the mountains, since we came and we have gotten the edge of each one of ilium, although much of the time it has dried as fast as it fell. The air is pure and bracing and in spite of my sleeping on the ground rolled in my blanket for two weeks, I feel more refreshed in the mornings than I did in Indiana.

There are three towns that are good, Hobart, Annedasko and Lawton. I think that Lawton will be the best, in fact, I know that it will, unless they get lots of gold in the other end of the mountains, in that ease, however, Hobart will be the best. As to the business outlook, it is good. Lots sold here yesterday for $1,805. They were 25x50, without a stick or mark upon them except the stakes at the corners. The average price is at present $397.50 for all lots sold, but I think it is simply the enthusiasts getting picked up, for they do not know yet where the Rock Island depot is going to One month ago there was nothing here but the surveyor’s camp; now there is a town of between 20,000 and 30,000 people, all living in tents and representing all the trades and professions. Many of the towns in old Oklahoma are now composed of wealthy men that sthrted on stocks of from $lO to SSOO. This is a great country for groceries and hardware, not so much for dry goods. We are in the law and locating business here but have not done very much business yet, but expect to get started soon. .lust at present wo keep our guns in easy reach all the time, but that will soon be over. The ‘'thugs” hero are from Chicago and Now York and what o' them escai>eß will soon leave 1 think that good lots can be bought soon for less than SIOO. Some lots sold Monday and Tuesday for $35 to $75, that changed hands yesterday for $350 to S4OO. I must stop writing and answer some of the many questions. If we did business with everyone that stops to enquire, we could start a bank to-morrow.

Yours Respectfully,

HENRY P. FARMER.

Astounded The Editor.

Editor S. A Brown, of Bennettsvilie, S. C,' was once immensely surprised. “Through long suffering from Dyspepsia,’ he writes, “my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at onci, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver.” For indigestion, Loss of appetite, Stomach ana Liver troubles it’s a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c at Long’s drug store.
