Dante's Infernon IN five reels will be
shown at the Palace Theater today
for one day only. This Is positively
the original production and has never
been shown in Tulsa before. Possibly
you have seen a small picture at a
local theater advertised TO be the only
original Dantes Inferno. This Is no so.
The picture shown at the Palace is
the original five real production
which has been shown in the large
theaters in all the principal cities Of
this and foreign countries.
If any one can prove that this is
not the original five reel production
the management agrees TO cheerfuly
pay $500.
A well-known speaker VIII lecture
and fully explain each and every
scene.
There will be special music. also
an appropriate song by the Palace
trio. Owing to the imemnse additional
expense in securing this picture the
price Will be advanced TO ten and
twenty cents. The management
wishes to say that this is the first
picture show to offer these pictures
and the only time the five reel pro-
duction has been shown for less than
fifty cents admission. The picture
was shown in Kansas City, Mo-. at the
Shubert theater and the price OF ad-
mission was 800.

Total for Seven pays, a772,GF-CIty
Entering Uron Period of Pros
pcrity Never Equailcd.

With over three quarters Off a mil
lion dollars in receipts up to Satur-
day evening, the past week was the
heaviest in The local clearing house
since 1910. The receipts for the week
ending, November II, amounted to
exactly $772,G47, or more than a hun
thousand over the previous week.
when the receipts totaned $G19,O22'
which in itself was considered an eX-
cellont showing.
There seems no doubt now but what
the total amount handled during the
present month viii far exceed any
previous months business in the his
tory Of the clearing house.
The receipts have been showing a
steady gain every week for the past
three months, and hardly person
connected with the banking business
or other lines of business, expected
such a remarkable showing AS was
made the past week.
The news of this big gain over the
previous weeks business, and its set
ting a new record for the year, should
be received with much enthusiasm by
Tulsans, for it practically means that
Tulsa is now entering upon a period
of prosperity that has never been
equalled locally.
Bank clearlngs echo the business
life of any community, and are sound
facts upon which anyone can conser-
vatively hase his predictions Of what
is to come in the way Of better cordi-
tions.

GREAT interest Is being taken in

ppescribes that % per cent Of the
voters of any Of the municipalities
affected may petition for a special
election to vote on the proposed sys-
TEN, a majority Of the voters being
necessary to sanction It. The pro-
posed law abolishes ward lines, ar

author. In place Of this" he said,
1T substitutes a board consisting
Of the Mayor and two, three or four
Councilmens according to the popu-
latio1f OF the city, who manage the
affairs Of the city just as a board of
directors manage any corporation or
business, and who are invested with
all the powers of city government,
and elected by the people of the
whole city, but without any party
designation. This board elects all
subordinate officers necessary to the
conduction of the city business, such
as Chief Of Police, Police Judge,
