An UNUSUAL ENGAGEMENT ,
VHdsn'S Popular Company Here fOr
an Engagement to ten Weeks

It's something unusual for the
atrical company to come to a city the
size of Chickasha for an engagement
Of ten weeks, in fact it never happen
ed in Chickasah before and it is a
big boost" for the city; it is also un-
usual that company the size and
strength Of Lew Virden's company
put on the shows they do at Is and
rs cents. Virden and his company
have come to visit us for ten weeks
and it's safe bet they won't wear
their welcome out with Chickasha
theater goers.
They began their engagement last
night with "Ohio" a society comedy
drama, and the house was filled. If
the patronage keeps up like this it
is possible that Mr.. Virden will be in
the Pierpont Morgan class of million
aires; he hasn't rented any safe de-
posit vaults yet though.
The cast last night with one or two
exceptions was a strong one and Miss
Dunlap, as Mary Jane, carried off
the honors. She is a clever little
soubrette that has won her thousands
Of friends, not only here but wherev-
er she plays. Lew was in the cast
too, but then he's everywhere and in
everything and he doesn't need any
press notices.
Rea Berger, Harry and Frank Rob
erts, Leslie Webb and Jane Morgan
and Pearl McRea were other members
Of the cast. The specialties are up
to-now. They will be changed with
every bill. The present piece will run
tonight and Wednesday night and
then will be put on "The Champion

Legal Victory for Gould.

Pueblo-The Chieftain, commenting
on the decision of the Supreme Court
of California, says: A protracted and
bitter judicial war between the Gould
and Hartman railroad interests has
just been won by the Goulds. The
case involved the right of the Western
Pacific to cross the tracks of the
Southern Pacific and build it's mole
across the tide line on the Oakland
side Of the bay. The decision of the
Supreme Court grants to Mr.. Gould
the right to acquire such terminals
as may be necessary. This decision is
of great Importance to all the territory
tributary to the Denver and Rio
Grande road and especially to Pueblo,
as with the completion of the West
ern Pacific this city will be one of the
most important centers on the Gould
transcontinental line.

BUYING A WAGON
How Mr.. BrolDn Got the
Worst of Two Bar
gains.
TRIED MAIL-ORDER METHODS
Thought He Was Saving Money, But
Will Not Try the Same Thing
Second Time-Buying at
Home Pays.

copyrighted, 1906. by Alfred C. Clark
Mr.. Brown, farmer living i'll
Boone county, Mo-, decided to buy a
spring wagon. The next time he was
in town he went to the local dealer
to see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
him at SIS. He thought he would
take it, but before ordering he looked
over a mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described wagon which,
as far as description went, was the
same as the one he saw in the deal
er's store room. In fact the descrip-
tion was written in such a convinc-
ing manner and all of the good points
of the mail order vehicle were brought
out so thoroughly that it appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $67.45. Mr.. Brown
thought of the saving of $7.55 which
represented several days of hard work.
The more he thought about it the
more he wanted to save that amount
and in the end the Chicago mail or
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived,
with freight bill of $3.50, he rode to
town with his son and spent half a
day putting it together. He had to
buy screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and a few bolts to replace
some that had been lost in shipment.

Wanamaker's Residence Burned.

Philadelphia.-The country home Of
John Wanamaker, at Chelten Hills.
near Jenkintown, was destroyeds by
fire Friday night. The loss is esti-
mated at s1.500.000. The Wanamaker
art gallery contained some Of the rar-

in existence. The Wanamakers have
been at their winter home here and
the country place was in charge of a

All OF these cost him IS cents. He
was not experienced at putting spring
wagons together and he didn't do
very good job OF 1t, for one of the
seats refused to sit In the right place
and he had to get local blacksmith
to help him fix 1t. This cost him
another half dollar and delayed him
so much that he and the boy had to
go TO the hotel for their dinners; an
additional expense of 70 cents. So
before he got his team hitched to the
wagon 1t cost him $3.50. allowing him
a saving of $1.10. which was very
stingy pay for the time he had lost.
or the amount he spent for the wagon,
only $1.95 remained in Boone county.
The railroads and the mail order
house got the rest Of 1t.
In the meantime his neighbor. Mr..
Jones, bought the SIS wagon from the
local dealer, who made profit OF
SIG on the sale. AS the vehicle was
already assembled and there were no
extra parts or tools to buy. the amount
paid for the wagon represented all of
the cost to Mr.. Jones. The dealer
spent the SIG profit for a new sign on
his building; the sign painter hired
carpenter to repair the roof on his
house; the carpenter paid his bill at
the butchers and the butcher bought
hog from Mr.. Jones. And so the
SIG kept going in the county until n
farmer with the mail order habit got
hold OF 1t. He sent It to Chicago and
1t never came back.
But this wasn't the last OF the two
purchases. A few weeks after the
two wagons were bought. Mr.. Browns
boy and Mr.. Jones' boy. driving the
new vehicles. met on the country road.
They drove too close to each other
and a smash-up resulted. The weak
est part OF each wagon gave way; an
axle on the mail order product was
broken and doubletree on the other
was smashed. Both breaks were plain
iy because OF defective construction.
Mr.. Jones took his broken doubletree
to town the next day and the dealer
gave him n new one Mr.. Brown at
tempted to explain to the Chicago firm
that the axle would not have broken
II 1t had not been defective and
coupled this explanation with re-
quest for n new part, but after several
weeks Of correspondence with the
piece as far away as at the begin
ming, he gave 1t up and bought the
axle himself This experience told
Mr.. Brown why he should trade with
home merchants instead of patroniz.
ng the mail order houses.
In Boone county and in every other
county there are many who send thou

stead entries have been filed in the

record-breaking month. Saturday the

that he brought 245 seekers after

The contest for the best descriptive
articles on Colorado, inaugurated by
the Denver Press Club last summer for
the benefit Of the delegates to the con-
vention of the International League Of
Press Clubs, held in Denver in Sep
tember, is closed and the prizes have
been awarded. From all points of
view including that of advertising Col
orado, on an elaborte scale, the con-
test was entirely satisfactory.
The competition was open to all
newspaper men and magazine writer's
who attended the recent convention.
Colorado's hospitality and learning Of
the states marvellous opportunities
through a visit to every section of the
commonwealth, went home and told
the world in type and pictures their
opinions of this wonderful state.
In every case the articles were COM
plimentary. A score or more of the
largest newspapers of the country
sounded praises for Colorado to their
millions of readers. The contest was
by far the most successful and at the
same time the most extensive PROPOSE
tion for advertising a state that is on
record in newspaperdom.
In the forty papers and periodicals
In which the articles ran, Colorado was
given total space of over 600 columns
OF reading matter and illustrations.
There was not an industry, nor city,
or town, or mining camp or farming
section that was overlooked by the
writer's. In many of the stories great
attention was paid to detail, and, as a
consequence, many resources Of the

that. And the small saving he Is able
to make by large purchases is more
than Offset by his larger expenses.
These expenses must come out of the
purchaser so the mail order man is
compelled to make larger profit than
the local dealer. 1t costs him more to
market his goods. He must maintain
large and expensive Office force and
he must advertise. AS an example
of what the mail order man expects
to make out of his customers, letter
written by prominent mail order
man might be quoted. Writing to a
magazine he said: Advertising ia
your publication cost us II cents an
inquiry and we made sales at cost
of only Sc cents each for advertising.
This is about half of our regular cost"
This man was selling "A complete out.
fit of clothes for 1886" He was will
ing to pay dollar for each sale the
advertising brought him. Ask your
local dealer how long he could keep
the sheriff away from his doors II he
took a dollar out Of every ten dollar

goods any cheaper from the catalogue
houses than from the local dealer,
though one may think he can after
reading the catalogues. The differ
ence comes in. the quality of the goods.
There is a particular class of goods
known as mail order goods" This
trade term is applied to cheap but
SNOWY goods and novelties which can
be sold at n large profit. 1t means
much the same thing as street fakir
goods" and. as is the case with street
fakir goods, mail order goods are not
handled by the regular jobbers and
wholesalers. They cannot afford to
handle them because their customers
want better merchandise. The street
fakir duplicates. in appearance, the
jewelry carried by first class jew
elry house and makes large profits.
The catalogue merchant does the
same thing but does 1t on larger
scale and much more cleverly.
