The back lots are about all cleaned
up. the weeds are about all cut and
the cesspools ahve about all been
filled In, including the filling In OF
the water pool under the Santa ~"
freight house, which was commenced
this morning. and now the city health
authorities are beginning to wage a
relentless warfare OH the nuisance o.
not cleaning up the water closets IN
the city where the sewerage system
does not extend.
Dr. Chenault, city physician, stated
this morning that he intended to Civ"
the police oruers TO notify cyerN one
who uses the old style closet that the
filth must be removed, and IL aft'f
man receives notice that his place
needs cleaning and the same is not
cleaned within the forty-eight hour
limit. then the aforesaid man will
be ierked up before the city judge
and the heaviest fine possible put
on him.
These places are breeding places
for flies and flies are the best conduc
tors of fever and disease germs in the
world
The city scavcngcr has registered
complaint to the health authorizes
that property owners and tenants do
not pay any attention to the notice
served upon them by him, and It -
the intention to enforce the ordinance
and make the people pay attention to
the scavenger's notice and pay him
as well for the services rendered. The
general health of the community IS
the most important thig for the tu-
ture growth of the city, and II tn"
city council will give the rellth board
its proper support ell cyesore places
such as are on South Washington

DEMOCRATS SUSPICIOUS
AT GREAT INFLUX OF NEGROES
TO musNooEE APPARENTLY
FROM EVERYWHERE.

Muskogee, l. T, July 23.-During
the past few days there has been a
tremendous influx OF negroes 70 Mus.
kogoo. This has reached such an ex.
tent that the city officials are worried
over the question OF what TO do with
them. The negroes apparently come
from everywhere. When questioned
they say they came because they have
heard that in Muskogee al negroes
have money and that the most pros.
Nperous colorcd people in the United
States live here.
This excuse does not satisfy ,he
citS officials and II the negroes do not
leave emergency vagrant ordinances
Will be passed and an effort made 10
force the negroes to move ON. II Is
claimed by Democrats that the i".
groos are being induced to come In
by a secret agitation on the part ot
Republican campaign managers. and
that the influx OF negroes is general
all over the territory. the Repubii-
cans hoping to get enough negro votes
into the state by September to defeat
the Democratic ticket and possibly
the constitution itself Most Of the
resident negroes claim that they are
opposed TO the constitution as e now
stands
