MILLION DOLLARS
SENT TO KANSAS
Oklahoma Net Awake to Her Won
derful Resources Geological
Party TO Make Report

One million dollars is a good lot Of
money but this is the estimated amount
that sle esoFle of Oklahoma sent A
Kansas last year for two products that
might just as we'll have been manufactur-
ed al home These two products are
pressed brick and Portland cement.
This does not teke into account all the
salt. glass. an6 clay products, such as
potters and tile. all the building stone,
and other things that we import from
Kansas.
The brick plants. cement plants, glass
foctories and stone qnarries are alllocated
in Kansas and Kansas gets all the taxes
and all the increased population and
permits Oklahoma to pay all bills, No
wonder the Kansas banks are full Of
deposits and taxes are about half as
much as in Oklahoma
So it is with Texas. About half the
gypsum plaster used in Oklahoma conssa
from three mills at Quanah, Texas. A
third Of our portland cement and nearly
half of our lime comes from Texas. We
send our good money to Texas for things
we might just as wen make at home and
then wonder why taxes are so high.
When Oklahoma County built her
magnificent court house she sent 100000
to Indiana for Bedford limestone although
limestone just as good for building pur-
poses is found in Oklahoma. We get FIRE
brick from St. Louis and terra Gotta from
Chicago although there is plenty Of fire
clay and terra Gotta clay all undeveloped
in Oklahoma.
All this time we are wondering why We
cannot get a better market for our farm
products. We have yet to learn that the
only way to have good market is TO
make one and the best way to create a
market is to establish industries that
require large numbers Of workmen.
Taxes viii be high as long as we send
our money away to purchase things that
should be produced at home and the
sooner the people OF Ohahama awake TO
the realization of the fact and begin to
operate mines and establish factories, the
sooner Oklahoma win become a wealthy
state.
The legislature had these facts in mind
when they established the Oklahoma
Geological Survey The survey was
organized and the Director, Professor
Gould, was instructed to prepare reports
on the building stone. the road material
and the oil and gas Of the state.
Eight parties have been at work for
more than month now in the various
parts Of the state. investigating these
products. 1t is the purpose Of the survey
10 publish reports calling the attention Of
capitalists and manufacturers to the
resources Of the state.

Tulsa. Sept16.-StateD Dispensary agent,
B-JWaugh was in this city yesterdayand
pulled off a stunt here yesterday afternoon
that had been almost forgotten since state
hood and the passing of the federal officers
under "Pussyfoot" johnson. In the alley
at the county court house about Shree
o'clock he poured into the gutter more
than 1000 bottles Of beer Some more
interesting sights were expected after
the reports that came from Oklahoma City
ON such occasions. The dispensary agent
said that it was an actual fact that framps
and hoboes took their hats and sopped
the beer out of the cutters. and went SO
far as to take the caps off Of sewer holes
and hold each other while they drank
righs out of the sewer, with their heads
into the hole

Philadelphia.-By a new and deli
cate operation, Dr. J. Thompson
Schell has restored the sight of ]. H.
Carter at the Northwestern Central
hospital One of Carter's eyes was
wholly useless, while the other afford
ed him only slight use. AS there was
no evidence of disease in the eyes
themselves, DR.. Schell decided that
the trouble lay in the brain, particu-
larly as Carter suffered excruciating
headaches.
The operation consisted of opening
the brain by the removal of two tiny
buttons at the base of the skull
and taking out a quantity of cerebro-
spinal fluid to relieve the pressure
on the optic nerve. 1t was wholly
successful.-New York Tribune.

less the case. The statutes prohibit
the establishment of a bar within a
prescribed distance of a church, and
the Hotel Gotham is within the limit.
Therefore, the environs of the inn
have been perforce of a dryness and
aridity unknown at any OF the other
big hotels in the city.
For three years the rumless cara
vansary has struggled along, vainly
attempting to make both ends meet
by disposing of food and lodging.
Failure most miserable marked the
effort. so it is said. The expense &C
count accumulated with all the dire
certainty of death and taxes, but the
profits were non-eXistent. Only fru-
gal folk patronized the hotel, and the
"spenders" avoided it as a dry and
dreary desert, since in all of its TWEEN

The second style is more dreSsy,

The tendency is more and more to
raise the waistline until there seems
to be no dividing line and the dress

have the modistes become that they
have obtained many effects for all fig
ures which by smart manipulation
gain the slenderness called for by the
modes of the day.
! Remember the softest under lin

well-fitting lingerie are great aids to
the slender effects.

ed skirts, which are so generally be-
coming to the majority of figures and
which seemed to be especially design
ed for the new b0rdered fabrics. For
figures of full or very short build the
skirts of regular side and box plaits,
of grouped pIaits, of box and side
plaits in combination, are particularly
well liked The plaits are stitched
well down to the hips. These are bet
ter models for stout women than the
three-piece gored models. But the
smartest design for gored skirt is
one containing many gores-even as
many as fifteen sections are seen, and
skirts containing both cores and plaits
are extremely fashionable.
goodly number of habit backs are
to be seen, but unlike the older mod
els have a flare where a plait is
usually seen.
An excellent model that would be
very smart in brown raiah consists
of three pieces. The panel front
joins the sides-sections over an in
verified plat and the back forms plaits
in the same manner. The opening is
on the left side Of the front, buttons
and buttonloops ornament both sides
of the front panel. and the bottom of
the skirt is finished with machine
stitching This model is a good one
for a separate skirt and all such ma
terials as cashmeres, serge. broadcloth
and suitings are suitable fabrics. II a
waist is desired to complete the suit.

collar. Cap.sleeves having three
tucks fall over long lace undersleeves.
and the belt is shaped and fitted to
the figure.
The skirt that is buttoned down the
front is extremely fashionable. even
among the most dressy importations
the effect is carried out by means OF
buttons and loops. The fold when
used is often placed at the bottom of
the skirt: but as this is apt TO shorten
the figure the tunic fold is many times
used instead

New York, Oct. 10.-Want to buy
a neat little twenty-one story motel?
Very well. Such a caravansary VIII
be placed on the block. next week, to
be knocked down to the highest bid
der. and the purchaser will likely get
a bargain. The hostelry in question
is the Hotel Gotham, and the fore
closure sale was ordered by the courts
on a third mortgage judgment for
S455, 600 secured by the knickerbock-
er Trust Company. The foreclosure
is subject to two prior liens, yaggregat-
ing the neat sum of $1,950,000.
1t is not likely that the bidding will
be brisk, as the Hotel Gotham has a
skeleton in its closet. Although one
of the newest and best hostelries in
the city, it has been an utter failure
since it's establishment three years
ago. The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church is declared to be directly re-
sponsible for this sad condition of at

The church in question is located
within 200 feet OF the caravansary.

New York, Oct. S.-A smart cloth
costume is one of the first requisites
for early autumn wear, and should be
OF such texture that it is not too
heavy for the warm days that return
for a farewell visit, or too thin for
those colder.

much used for the earlier days OF
autumn. and the prevailing colors
are smoke gray. with a touch of olive
green or orange in the trimmings,
dark brown, dark mauve or the anne

are much used and fit in well with the
hues OF nature that are seen on every
side at this time of the year. Any of
the materials or colors mentioned may
be constructed upon the whole-piece
costume and worn with a ruche or
net, lace, or marabout; and after it
has done good service thus ii may
be worn again during the colder
months with long heavy cloth or fur
coat, which when removed still leaves
the woman exquisitely gowned.
Nevertheless, white, white or grey
striped with a narrow black line,
cream or very. light tan are all being
used in the serges and fine broad
cloths for autumn use. but in all these
colors there is a warm color to the
tints. White is liked so well that
many serges and broadcloths have
