OIL BRlNKLEY STREETS.
Citizens Have an Anti.Dust
 Mass Meeting.

On Monday night at the City Hall a mass meeting of citizens was held to take some steps to- wards relieving the city from the dreadful dust storms and nuisance from which we have been suffering.
 c. Otis Bogle was elected Chairman and Henry Wolf Sec retary. After discussion, it was decided that instead of using water to sprinkle the streets that it would be cheaper and
 better to use oil and an execu-
 tive committee composed of G.
 Otis Bogle, Elmo Clancy and
 Jacob Lamm. were elected to
 take the matter in charge and
 apportion to each and every bus!-
 ness concern effected in the dis
 trict to be sprinkled (oiled) a i fair and just amount of the ex-
 pense thereof. Only the streets
 in the business section will be oiled for the present, tho 1t Is to be hoped that conditions will , be such that the residence sec
 ton streets may also be included later on.
 Benj. Emmons was elected Treasurer.
 The matter of abating the dangerous nuisance by the standing water in the ponds and l old cisterns around Brinkley, conducive to the breeding ol l mosquitos came up for the at tention of the mass meeting ant it was unanimously agreed that f committee of three be appointed ] to take steps towards the abate 7 ment of this dangerous nuisance
 and accordingly Wm. B. Folsom J. T. Black and Dr. M. R. Stim son were appointed to secur' ? that end.
 The meeting was a short, tho
 well attended and enthusiasti' one, and both of the committee l. have already began the i'm t portant work put on them.

Arriving at their destination, preparations for the days enjoyment were made and various games were indulged in by all present. About noon a sumptious repast. gotten up by the ladies of the crowd was served and methinks all did full justice to the meal.
 Much could be said of the pic nic but suffice to say everyone fully enjoyed this, the first out ing of this season.
