Clothing AND SHOE
STOCK FROM lola
ONE OF TOWNS BEST STORES
WITH COMPLETE STOCK OF
SPRING GOODS NOW PROPERTY
OF CIIANUTE CONCERN.

On account of overbuying and the
business conditions existing in lola at
the present time, the Peoples Store
stock, consisting OF clothing and
shoes and ready-to- valued at
$4,000, has been recently purchased
by the Harlow Mercantile company
and will be placed on sale at their
store in this city. Mr.. Harlow, the
owner of a string of stores in Kansas
and oklahoma, is in the city giving
his personal attention to the removal
of the stock from the smelter city
TO this place and will in all probable
ity remain until after the opening
sale day, Friday of this week. Speak.
ing of his latest acquisition, the lola
store, Mr.. Harlow said: The Peoples
store at lola, which I have recently
purchased, was very progressive
business firm, but they simply over
bought for the condition of the town
at this time. They bought a very ex-
elusive line of clothing and shoes,
which they expected to sell to the
better class Of trade They loaded up
very extensively in the winter for this
spring and summer business, but on
account of conditions were unable to
meet their obligations and as a re-
suit they went into bankruptcy. The
federal court only gave five days for
a removal of the stock which neces.
states that we have it placed in our
store at this place Immediately. The
stock is a splendid line Of clothing,
ready to wear goods and shoes worth
$4,000. The stock is especially de-
sirable from the fact that it was pur-
chased with the intention Of retailing
TO the more exclusive trade"
Mr.. Harlow has purchased twenty
two large stocks of goods during tile
past twelve months aside from a
greater number of smaller concerns.
The purchase of the Nicholson store
last summer marked his entrance into
the business field of Tulsa. While his
general offices remain at Topeka, his
largest store is in Tulsa, where he has
a S75,0 900 stock of goods and the
most important corner location lin
the city.
The lola store which has been NOV.
ed to this place will be placed on
SALE Friday of this week The store
will be closed all day Thursday, ar
ranging the stock.

rated to Field by an eX-slave. During

this story was always included In

charges nightly with their graphic de-

In the Field production the exterior
Of the aged negro's cabin melts away

Of a jugful Of liquor he has quaffed,
and the interior Of the cottage Is
shown. Then the dream takes the
spectator to Goblin Dell where the
dancing contingent offer a number Of
surprising novelties,
Melting away Goblin Dell gives
place to vivid production of Hades,
where Lish Murn is taken as a pun
ishment for being good -for-nothing

display closes with the interior of the
cabin where Lish awakens ready to
take the pledge and taboo liquor for
the rest OF his life

BOTH the Third street crossing and
the Main street crossing Of the Tulsa
street railway with the steam railway
lines came in for share Of roasting
by CITY Engineer Hughes at the meet
ing OF the city commission yesterday.
In written communications, the city
engineer declared that either Of these
crossings was in bad shape, and he
traced such condition TO the Tulsa
Street railway. At the Frisco cross
ing, Mr., Hughes related, he had been
unable TO have either planking of bi-
luminous concrete installed under the
street car tracks, and he recommend
ed "A concrete base for the tracks

street. Having been in quandary
for a year or more over these matters,
he sought the advice of the commits

.
ACCORDING TO n communication
from city Engineer T. c. Hughes to
the commission yesterday, the city at
the present time has no way Of keep
ing the paving on Main street in the
proper condition OF repair The COM
munication stated that, due to cleo
trolysis, 1t is necessary for the city
water department to constantly make
repairs. The water department claims
that the electricity which causes the
damage to water pipes comes from
the lines of the Tulsa Street Railway
company and that therefore the rail-
way company should be compelled 60
repair the street whenever II is found
necessary to cut the pavements. The
contention Of the railway company is
that the paVements are in good con-
dition before the waterworks men cut
them up, and that 1t should not be
made to make the repairs. Between
the two contentious, the city engineer
declares the pavements are in a bad
fix most of the time, and he sought
the commissions advice as to what
to do The commission turned the
matter over to City Attorney John r.
