His Report to His Action in Oklahoma
and Deputies That Entered Lands.
WASHINGTON, Nav 1.-THE Attorney
General has received a report from L. b.
Needles, United States Marshal of the In
dian Territory, in regard to the conduct
of himself and deputies at the opening of
Oklahoma Territory April -. "As far as
l am concerned" he said. Il have not
entered any land or lands. town lot or
lots in the Oklahoma district and have
nointerest whatever, directly or indirectly,
near or remote of any kind or nature, in
any land or lois in the Territory. l do not
know positively as to my deputies. but have
had an intimation that one of them had
secured town lot in Guthrie and one or
two have entered a quarter section of land
apiece. l am not positive as to this, but
will at once ascertain the facts and report
TO you. II there are any other violations

heard of them. No person or persons
other than those reported by me to you in
my communication of the 30th ult had
any authority from me to enter the Ter
ritory on or before the 22d ult."

reports had been sent to Washington and
he presumed the Attorney General had
been fully advised in regard to them He
added that if the Attorney General de-
sired it he would go to Muskogee and
Guthrie and make thorough eX-
animation as to the lands or lots
upon which any of his deputies
might have claim. In a postscript he
wrote: IF the statement made by me and

Facts About Clothing.

We are often asked the question:
"Why is there such difference be-
tween your prices for fine made
Clothing and the prices asked by
merchant tailors?" Our answer is
this: We buy our imported and
American goods from first hands in
full pieces, often a full case Of a kind.
This alone gives to us a difference Of
full fifteen per cent. over merchant
tailors who buy from five to ten yard
lengths. Another reason lies in the
fact that their store rent and all
other expenses must come out Of
their custom work alone, while our
expenses are divided up among the
other lines of goods we carry. Still
another reason is that custom-tailor-
ing work is good during five months
in the year, and they consequently
have dull season Of about seven
months each year in which their cut
ters have to be paid for doing almost
nothing, while our cutters and tailors
are busy the year round.
We can afford to sell frst-class
custom-made garments at profit Of
ten per cent. for cash while mer-
chant tailors cannot get up their
work at a smaller profit than from
thirty to forty per cent. Merchant
tailors generally do a credit business ;
their losses are heavy, and parties
paying such exorbitant prices are ac-
tually paying for those who don't
pay We demand cash and profit
of not more than ten per cent
Goods often look better in the piece
than they do after being made up
So our customers have the advantage
Of buying from us, for they can see
how the garments appear when fin
ished, and if one pattern does not
please them we have hundreds of
others to select from. So we would
call your attention to our full line Of
Spring goods, made to order and
ready made, in Stripes, Plaids and
Mixtures and Plain and Fancy
Worsteds to suit the old and young,
great and small. We know you
cannot help but being pleased and
