IRON OKLAHOMA CITY.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 30,

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 30, 'S9.
have only time this morning to say
to Allen county friends that they ma,
well save their pity for the portion o
the Allen county contingent who cam,
to this point. Here In Oklahoma City
we read the sanguinary accounts O.
confusion, hloodshed and murder with
. mixture Of amusement and indigna'
ton. While extremely lively, Okla
homa City has been since noon Of the
22nd as orderly and reaceable a. lois
mo drunkenness, no fighting, nc
shooting. True, we have had q time
Of 1t getting order out Of chaos. Three
OK four town companies began survey.
ing the town oil at once, the people al
the same time squatting on the land
without reference to any of them AT.
ter these companies failed to adjust
their differences the people took the
matter in hand and at mass meeting
elected a committee Of fourteen to
make an entirely new survey. When
this survey was about half completed
from the south it was found that the
people of the north side of the city had
settled in substantial conformity with
what is known as the "Seminole sur.
vey." This was the only critical juno
ture, and a very criticalone. The rad.
zeal portion Of the citizens party want.
ed to prosecute their survey regardless
Of consequences. and the Seminole
people wanted their survey adopted in
toto. A mass meeting was called (thie
was Saturday, and the difficulty was
solved by the appointment Of a com.
mittee of ten, five from each opposing
party, to harmonic the different sur
veys. After protracted session this
committee agreed upon a compromise
ard reported it to another immense
mass meeting. The report was unani.
mously adopted with three cheers, and
this meeting closed with the singing of
"Praise God from whom all blessings
aow." Since that time all bitterness
has disappeared, and the prospects are
bright indeed. I cannot take time to
enumerate all the advantages Of this
favored city. We of Allen county are
not only happy and contented but ju-
liant. But If any one should be in
the least Influenced by this to come
here, let me say that town property is
not cheap by any means. Every lot
is taken and while possessory rights
can be bought. people are not anxious
to sell. A. &. 8.

clutches upon her and for seven years

her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a

A GRAND SUCCESS.

1t ought to be a matter Of pride ant
congratulation to every citizen of Iol'
to know of the splendid business now
being done by our Carriage and ON
nibus Company. Last fall their show
room Was crowded with finished We
hicles for which no purchasers could
be found and the Company was com
PEELED to virtually suspend operations
Today only three buggies remain IN
the showroom and the shops are q
month behind their orders. Thirty.
three workmen are now employed and
seven more are expected next week
1t does not seem extravagant to pre-.
dict that within year the Company
will be occupying every room In the
immense shops and employing one
hundred men.
There are two reasons for this rapid
expansion of business. The first lie
found in the class of work turned out.
The Company has never sent out q job
which did not give the purchaser en-
tire satisfaction. Parties who have
once bought an lola carriage almost
invariably return here If they want
another. Thus every vehicle sent out
is an advertisement. In the second
place this is practically the only car.
riage factory now in operation In the
state. The Newton Company, which
cnce made considerable pretensions,
now has no solicitor on the road and
we understand that during the past
winter they employed but one black
smith,-and he came here and applied
for work. The factory at Abilene has
fallen about as low. That at Fl. Scott
has virtually gone out of the business
and instead of manufacturing carriages
itself, now purchases them frem our
Company to sell to Its customers. These
three factories are the only ones in the
state that ever pretended to rival ours.
and their decline leaves the lola Com
pany master Of the field. With the
return Of prosperous times to Kansas
and with the development Of Okla.
homa, opening new territory. this field
will grow constantly wider and richer
and the result will be the building up
OF mandatory here that will be a
credit, not only to the town and the
county, but to the state. Certainly
the success of this enterprise, started
by lola capital and carried on by lola
brains and pluck, may we'll be, as
stated in the beginning, source of
pride and congratulation to all our cit
liens
