BEGGS' CHERRY COUGH
SYRUP cures coughs and colds.
MADE BIC MONEY.

Frank Cheshire, at one time a
resident of this city, who moved
from here to Sapulpa, l. T., a
couple of years ago, has made
some money in the latter place,
as is evidenced by the following
dispatch:
Tulsa, /. T., Oct. 2s.-As an
illustration of how towns are
growing in this part of the coun-
try and the money being made in
real estate in consequence, the fol-
lowing incident will give some
idea. A year ago Frank Cheshire
of Sapulpa purchased 80 feet of
ground in what was then the res
idence section of that town for
81, 200.
The city doubled in population
and Cheshire's property became a
part of the business district. He
has recently sold it for $4,000,
making a profit of over 700 per
cent. Instances of this kind are
common in the growing cities of
eastern Oklahoma.

SOCIETY FADS

Very few people seem to realize that
there can be more fun and enjoyment
at a first or second wedding anniver-
sary than at the silver or golden an
niversaries. A great deal quainter ef-
fects can be obtained from the cheap
materials than from the precious
metals.
The first celebration of wedding an
niVersares is "the cotton wedding"
The invitations may be written with
indelible ink on squares of white cot
ton. inclosed in white envelopes. Then
the bride Of a year should wear a
dainty cotton gown and the groom
a cotton necktie and waistcoat. Fluffy
cotton batting may be used for decora-
ton, by fiecking leaves of palms and
ferns with 1t, wrapping flower pots
and jardiniers with 1t, and even the
tablecloth may be of smooth sheets
OF this downy substance.
The table faVors may be concealed
in cotton snowballsI and bells of white
cotton be suspended from overhead
lights and doorways. If time Is no
object really pretty portieres may be-
made by stringing little balls of cot
ton on black linen thread. Just try 1t.
Use white candles, white shades and
white frosted heart-shaped cakes.
White china with no decoration. 1t Is
pretty to serve the ice cream In large
size kisses; the baker will make
them especially for the occasion. For
amusement prepare aprons Of bandanna

OPERA COMPA
WILL Use RINK
BUILDING ORDINANCE TO BE
AMENDED
Council May Take Action Monday
That VIII Give the San Carlos
People an Opportunity
to Show

In order to permit the San Carlos
opera company TO give a two weeks
performance in Los Angeles the coun-
ell Monday will amend a section of the
building ordinance. The amendment
will permit class B buildings to be used
temporarily for purposes for which
class A buildings are demanded. Under
this amendment the San Carlos opera
company will show in the Angelus rink,
Eighteenth and Main streets.
J.. II. Behymer, who is looking after
the local interests Of the opera COM
pany, appeared before the committee
of the whole of the council yesterday
and suggested the amendment. He told
the committee that he had done all in
his power to secure q class A building
for the performances of the company,
and had been unable to get one with a
large enough seating and stage capac-
ity, but that he had been offered the
Angelus rink, a building of class b.
If he was permitted to use this build
ing, he said ne would extend the stage
forty-six feet, making the largest stage
in the city. The committee of the
whole agreed to pass the amendment
in council Monday.
The efforts. Of the San Carlos opera
company to get into Los Angeles are
1amlllar TO all Dy JnlS time. Inc COlH-
pany asked for and was promised two
weeks at the Mason, but before it had
made contracts for the time the syndi-
cate, which controls the Mason book
ings, put in two cheaper shows, possi-
bly, with the idea that the San Carlos
company would buy them off.
Efforts to secure the Auditorium
failed through jealousies and Ill feeling
existing between the various managers
concerned. The other theaters here
have their regular attractions and could
not be obtained The only recourse was
an outside building. The syndicate has
shown an unusual stubbornness In
changing dates In this case. Ordinarily
it moves attractions about to suit its
own will, but it seemed strangely averse
to anything of the sort this time, which
makes Los Angeles wonder If 1t was
because the aforesaid syndicate did not
get it's usual "bit." But the real con-
cern of the general public is that as
between this aggregation of New York
tight money men and the rows of the
local managers it Is deprived of the
pleasure of seeing a great company in
adequate surroundings and is forced tc
journey q mile to a skating rink to
hear it's singers.

EARLY MATINEE
PROVES SUCCESS
Actors Give Three Shows and Say
Things About OverWork-May
Repeat MIkman's Per-
formance

With more than $500 persons in at
tendance, despite a pouring rain, Los
Angeles first "milkman's matinee"
given by the Dick Ferris company in
the Auditorium yesterday at 10 o'clock,
was a glittering success Almost as
many were in attendance as Is usual
with that house, the lower floor being
ed and only the 1aeZzanine floor not
occupied. And this despite any effort
whatever at publicity beyond brief
newspaper announcements.
The audience found nothing unusual
in the early performance save it's hour
of beginning. But with the players it
was quite different. Playerfolk don't
arise with the sun; often they are not
up till high noon and then some. And
to have call for matinee at 10 a. m.
meant being at the theater shortly after
9. which was dreadful. So it was
sleepy and Woe begone set of Thespians
who gathered at the stage door early
yesterday in the rain, and the remarks
they made were quite in contrast with
the subject of their labors-'"The Holy
City" But they went on and present
ed the usual fine performance. Then
luncheon was sent in, for the curtain
fell after noon, and the players sat
about and ate in their costumes and
ular afternoon matinee. And they had
precious little time between it and the
night show.
To Repeat Matinee
'It was an experiment" said Dick
Ferris, as he rubbed his hands, but it
was a great success. So we feel that
in another way we have set a mark
for Los Angeles, although we have
only been here some eight weeks. We
have given this one show to nearly
100000 persons, and we have intro
duced a new feature-the early morn
ing matinee. 1 suppose next we will
have to play two performances at
night, one at the regular hour and one
after midnight"
"The Holy City" will run all this
week, and possibly the "milkman's
matinee" will be repeated. In addition to
all else a herd of real camels has been
secured from Venice, and the patient
beasts will appear at every perform
ance this week,
Ramsey Wallace. one of the minor
members of the Ferris company, has
received his blue envelope and will
leave at the end of this week. Mr..
Wallace has delivered himself of as
pretty fake to account for his going
as has been sprung on an unsuspecting
yellow sheet since the high commish
took the seas. OF course, there's moth
ing in it-eXcept that Wallace has been
fired.

ter Summers had come back from his etherial flight he was rushed to the ropes by the American.
 For few seconds in the sixth round and old-fashioned mill took place, both of the contestants emerging somewhat sore. Then in a dignlf1ed manner Reyes landed on Summers twice, the latter returning one of the drives with a lift up. Reyes had the slight ad- vantage when the smoke had cleared away.
 The American started the seventh by giving Summers a propitious lift un- der the jaw and Summers naturally retaliated. Summers then tried to knock Reyes jaw out of joint, and failed, the American coming back hard. Summers closed the round by raising Reyes under the shoulder.
 Starting out the eighth round Sum mers placed a beautiful one on Reyes face, and @ second blow being blocked by the Quaker Then Summers hit Reyes under the jaw, failing by an ace to dislocate it. Then the both landed, Summers closing the round with a lit- tie tableau in which his fist was firmly fixed in Reyes face.
 The last two rounds were very fast and clean. Summers blew into the ring with a beautiful red ribbon rest ing gently on his graceful hips and from his corner of the ring came Reyes l looking like a newly blown rose. Sum- mers started in to pluck the rose, tap ping Reyes face twice with his init but Reyes peppered the Briton over his face and shoulders, the round clos. ing with honors even.
 In the last round Summers took brace, but Reyes, who was shorter and more stocky sailed Into him like battering ram, but the Englishmar landed several thunks on Reyes fact and neck to even things.
 A conservative estimate was tha Reyes was the harder fighter ant Summers the cleverer.
