 Hole In Ground--More Real Money In Kansas Than In Wall Street. 1 New York, April 2l.-"New York: Humph! We sure are forced to smile supercilyus as we passes from fore to | fetlock of this alleged eggresyous town. Why, Christian brother, there is prairie dorg holes dug into the land scape at Tulsa that you cud drop this puny hamlet into an never discom- mode dorg." The same being the impression New York has made upon the 113 business and professional Tulsaites who came here in a private train with a brass, band to interest the defunct east in the fecund, bumptiously booming Tulsa, which is in the newest state of Okla homa, and must not be lightly spoken of under penalty of what follows the pressure of quick finger on hair trigger when the funnel is pointing your way.
 He who thus disgustedly conversed i anent the moribund metropolis was 1 Mir. Emmett Dalton--the same MT. Dal- ton who led delegation of his famous family against a Coffeyville Kan9 banking institution on a memorable day in 1892 and who was perforated freQuently-as were his brothers, fatal ly-by unappreciative citizens of that town. Relieved from life sentence in the Kansas penitentiary, Mir. Dalton has now become a leading hardware dealer in Tulsa-hardware being al- ways in his line and the Tulsa boom- CTS proudly hold him up as proof that no tenderfoot need have physical scru- pie about settling in that peaceful town.
 Too Polite to Express Opinion.
 My natural politeness toward them I am guests of sure deters me from pronouncng the precise sentiments l harbors in regard to New York;" con tinued Mir. Dalton. But, having sur veyed it thorough. from the Bronx al- falfa to the salt sink off the Battery, I am at liberty to opine that Tulsa. Okla, has this trifing boro tied, roped, brand ed and corraled.
 Much discourse has drifted west ward regarding of your high buildings here" went on Mir Dalton, with a contemptuous spit "Neighbor, they's mountain sets alongside Tulsa that makes your Singin' buildin' look shall low like orifice in the face of the earth. What's more, said mountain is fled-not with sewing machines, but with bright red gold and good brown copper.
 Similar there has seeped to us proud boastings of your Stock Exchange. I heads the party from Tulsa that surges in on that institution. If the mayor had seen fit to be gentleman, we would have aroused Wall street from its slumber with the wakesome music of tn Tulsa band. But he was back ward with tine license, so we walks into the funeral quiet an sits down. For a alleged orgy the Stock Exchange sure is a piteous frost. If them fellers in the cellar is all robbin' each other, as we hearn tell about. they certain goes at it tame and dispirited. I've seen , more real money blasted outn fourth : class Kansas postoffice than was staked $ thar all yesterday afternoon. And re. !. latin to the boasted turmoil alongside y good bank fusillade out west. il 2 sounded like the purrin' of puny . pussy in tn sun.
 Few Revolvers In Sight. The hull towns the same way D continued MT. Dalton: folks runnin' 2 round producin' of tremendous dis. course and not a lonesome Colt in sight for conferrin' color on them vain words The boom commission of Tulsa town ship attended the theater last night | and whooped three times timidly when d the first white girl born in 0klahomy' appeared on the stage. But their spir
 its had been sadly dampened by the
 unfortunate reception given by the sis
 ter city. and they were sore and disap r pointed when they left for Philadel phia.
