John Lille Passes Away

A shadow of gloom WAS cast over our
little city the first Of the week when
the announcement Of the death Of
John Lille, one of the Oldest and most
respected citizens, was made. His
condition had been known to be criti-
cal for many days yet it was hoped
that recovery was possible,
Mr.. Lille was taken sick several veal :
ago with severe attack of pneumon ia
which afterward developed typhoid

against the Grin Destroyer but all to
no avail Skillful medical attention
aud careful nursing was of no avaii
aud the patient gradually grew worse
until Sunday afternoon June 9Th, 1909,
when the end came peacefully and
quietly, and all that was mortal OF
John Lille passed away

How Typhoid is Spread

Typhoid, one OF the most loathsome
of the many diseases with which hu-
man beings are afflicted, is spread in
many ways IL ia essentially filth
disease. The dairyman who supplies
you milk may have an infected well.
His cans and bottles are washed in the
infected water and this means
that the milk will he infected. A
person infected with what is known
as walking typhoid may spread tne in
fection broadcast. A polluted water
supply is not infrequently the source
OF community epidemic of this disease
Flies are recognized carriers because
of their habits and because of their
presence in the homes And yet ty-
phoid Is one of the preventable dis
eases. Destroy or abolish the source
of Infection and the spread OF the dis
ease ia stopped at orse. This means
that milk. water and food must be
kept untainted. and the dangerous
little house fly must be kept out OF all
places of human habitation. And re-
member that every death from typhoid
is due to ones carelessness that, in
this day of intelligent sanitary ad
ministratiou, is little short of criminal

Agencies to be ReOpencd

With an appeal To the people of the
state to stand by the local and state
officers in the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws of Oklahoma. Governor
Haskell issued his proclamation re-
opening the local agencies of the state
dispensary IN all towns of 2,0O0or over
The local agencies are not to be estab-
lished until a reasonable portion uf the
inhabitants of the included towns pc
tition the governor for the opening
and maintaiuence OF their dispensary
IL is understood that Sam Stone of
Durant will be made state superin-
tendent of the dispensarics. II. r.
Laughbaum Of Okla City is understood
to have received the appointment OF
state enforcement field agent and s.
+. Cain of Taloga, and ex-Representa-
tive William Murdock of Ralston, as
field inspectors.
Governor Haskell first briefly tells
the history of prohibition in Oklahoma,
OF the ~ years constitutional pro-
vision; of the election last fall of
which the people voted down the
dispensaries and of the decisions of
the supreme court holding such cleo
tion void and then follows
TBE PRoCLAMATIoN.
And thereafter, the second session
of the legislature OF this state having
been held and no further action hay
ing been taken IL therefore, becomes
my duty to observe and carry out the
provisions of the law.
I now, therefore, proclaim to the
people Of Oklahoma that they are en-
titled to have one agency kept and
maintained by the state in every town
of 1000 people or more. and where no
such town exists in any county, then
at one place of less population in any
such county. but that no such agency
will be established or maintained un-
til upon receipt of a petition in writ
ing therefor presented to me by a
reasonable proportion of the inhabi-
tants Of such town or county request
ing the opening and maintenance of
such agency which petitions may be
presented at the Will of the people and
will receive prompt consideration.
