Some years ago when, as consequence of
not being paved, the streets of small eastern
town were quite dusty, man Of moderate
means bought sprinkling cart, arranged with
the city for water and for the payment of an
agreed sum every month, kept the street in
front Of the residences of his customers wet
enough to lay the dust. The sum paid the
~sprinkIing man" was returned to the inmates
Of such homes by the added comfort and less
ened work which were the results.

Residence property lying the edge Of the
city would seem very much nearer the center
of town if good walks we're laid the entire dis
tance, and though the tax might seem burden
some to those owning large number Of lots,
there is no doubt it would very much aid in
their disposal.

The purchase by Mr.. F. E. Greydene-
Smith of the triangular piece of ground lying
west of the new High school, and the gift of it
to the City for park purposes, was a very
graceful act and no doubt will be fully appre-

was younger and land much cheaper ground
was not set apart in different parts of the City
for parks-but better late than never The

the building of an apartment house upon the

"Fiere is this article, do anything you like with

the members of the editorial staff are afraid to

only not say that what was cut out was the

the members Of the E. S. will not feel quite so
much like murderers as they do at this writing.

His Last Hone Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889. the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers af-
ter fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim. he encount.
cred much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him very
severe diarrhooea which 1t seemed al
most impossible to check, and along
in June the case became SO bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Cholic. Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect Of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for a fortnight.
That one bottle worked a complete
cure. and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this
