NEW BRICK BLOCK.
viii be Erected by Frazee
and Burlington.

A few years ago Vinita capital
ist thought it necessary to offer a
bonus for a heavy hardware deal
er 10 locate in Vinita. The neces-
sity for such a bonus no longer ex-
lists. The firm Of Sam r. Frazee
& Co. began business in the Hill
building last spring. They pur-
chased the Davis Hill stock of
hardware, furniture and under
taking. Perhaps no more success
full business venture has been made
in the town, and the business has
already outgrown the buildings oc-
cupied, and now Mr.. Frazee and
L. w. Burlington are arranging to
erect new brick business house
5Oxl25 feet on the o. K. meat
market lot across the alley east of
the Hill building. This commOd-
ious structure will be filed with
the largest stock of hardware, furn-
iture and collins ever carried in
the territory. The expansion of
this line of business in Vinita Is
especially fortunate at this time.
The new building will be COM
pleted by midsummer.

SPILLED SLOP.
A Team of Horses Got Gay
And Made Merry For a
Little While.

A team OF horses who look as II
they might have witnessed the
passing of the last century cele-
brated the day by getting frisky,
forgetting their old age and going
on tear.
This morning they were fastened
to Dave Mitchell's scavenger wag-
on and were standing by the Gem
restaurant with dropping eye-lids
and dished knees wondering if
Dave would turn over a new leaf
and try feeding them next century.
The idea acted as a rejuvenator
and their youthful strength re-
turned long enough for them to
run away They crossed the track
and dumped slop in an oderous
trail along the east side.
They recrossed near the electric
light works leaving the body of
the wagon and dragging the two
front wheels south on Wilson
street. By the Chieftain office the
tongue pulled out and, with the
single-trees knocking their heels,
the horses ran nearly mile. One
of the horses was scratched some
and Dave, while collecting the
wagon pieces. said that it was "at
least an eleven to seven bet that
the breathless beasts now wish
they hadn't got gay"

THE BOARD OF HEALTH HAVE

In view of the epidemic
character of smallpox in
the Cherokee nation, and OF
the fact that there has been
no provision on the part

each community to take
care of its own interests.
Therefore be it ordered
by the Vinita board OF
health that all persons res
ident in the town who have
not been successfully vac
cinated within the last FIVE
years be vaccinated before
January 9TH, 1901.
In pursuance of this or
der the following physi-
clans, Dr's. A. M. Clink-
scales, Louis Bagby, B. F..
Fortner and Oliver Bagby

their Offices each day be-
tween the hoursof 9 and 10.

VACCINATED AT ONCE
Smallpox is Raging All Over the
Country But is Lighter in Vini-
ia Than Elsewhere Every
body Should Help to
Check It.

Smallpox is raging all
over the country the people
in the crowded tenement
house districts Of the large
cities being the greatest
sufferers.
There has been many
cases in towns of this terri
tory for over a month past
but publication of the fact
was suppressed to prevent
causing needless alarm.
Vinita, fortunately, has
had fewer cases UP to this
date, than any other town.
We have been blessed, also,
by having the loathsome
disease appear in the mild
est form wherever it has
shown itselfat all. 4
If we are to escape en-
tirely from the dread dis
ease, it must be stamped
out at once, and the Board
of Health and municipal
authorities should and
ought to be given every
support in their efforts to
eradicate the disease from
our community.
A citizen who knows that
smallpox, however light in
form, is an unwelcome
guest at his home, is GER
tainly doing a contempti-
Sle act, in leaving the mi
crobe laden atmosphere
and going abroad to mix
with his fellows.
Such a person should be
condemned as criminal.
In case you have been
exposed remain by your
self or do all you can to.
prevent Spre a din e the
germs until you know all.
danger is passed.
There is not much dan
ger, or very many cases, at
p ent in Vinita, but the
action of Mayor Sheehan
and the Board of Health is
taken SO that a possible
epidemic may be averted.
The appended p u b lie
proclamation compels the
Chieftain at this time to
make public the fact of the
presence of smallpox in the
cay.

EnBAoHEn VS.. LIVE BIRDS.
Frank Erbacler Loses a Pigeon Mattel
Yesterday Afternoon.
.IE,rnm FL jaws Daily

d = r * d. s 4 u
Some live bird matches recently have
developed some recruits to the local
shooting ranks, among whom is Frank
Erbaeher. He is shooting good, but
he cut out job little too big yester-
day. He wagered with Dan O'Brien
that he could kill eighty live birds
out of 100, but was shot out on the
nth bird. He started with a miss and
then killed to the seventh, run to the
sixteenth, killed two and then missed
the eighteenth, twentieth and twenty
fourth, closing the first quarter with
six misses-one behind schedule. In
the second twenty-five he lost seven,
missing his forty first and forty second
in succession, closing the first fifty
with thirty-seven kills. From here on
he showed the effect of the strain, be-
ing quite good deal slower. 1t will
be noticed that he missed his first bird
of each of the first three twenty-fyes,
first, twenty-siNth and fifty first. In
the third quarter misses came more in
groups, the tifty-siNth, tifty-seventh
and sixty-fourth and siNty-tifth and
closed up to seventy-fve with twenty
birds missed. 1t was now necessary
for him to 90 straight to win. but he
caught circling incomer on his sew
enty-seventh time up and went behind
it, thus losing the match and stakes.
The birds We're an average lot. A
sweepstake was shot after the match,
in which John Erbacher, U. S. Grant
and George Hanks took the money.

TEACHERS. ASSOCIATION.
500 May Attend - Ottumwa May be
Selected for the Meeting.

As stated in the Courier a few days
ago, the executive committee of the
Southeastern Iowa Teachers associa-
ton has expressed preference for
Ottumwa as the place for holding the
next meeting of the organization. At
meeting of that committee held in
Des Moines last week it was decided
to hold the meeting on March 30, 30
and 81, but left the location open. To
secure this meeting it will be necessary
for the citizens to furnish a suitable
hall, badges and programs The out
lay will return in the way of eNpendi-
lures made by the members of the as
ISOLATION even if that were the only
ground on which it is desired to get it.
Nothing is asked to pay the expenses
of those who attend the convention,
but merely that expense which will
be entailed as above outlined. Prof.
Stewart ispushing the matter and feels
that it will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for the people of this place
to demonstrate to the delegates what
n live place Ottumwa is. Our railroad
facilities are much the best of any yet
suggested, and we are much nearer
the homes of the people who attend.
About 500 persons will attend the
meeting, judging from the attendance
in former years. 1t will not require a
large sum of money to bring the meet
ing here, especially as the executive
committee favors this place, but tina,
sum, whatever it is, must be raised
and the merchants will not lose any
thing by contributing.
