SALES WEEK IS
ANTICIPATED
BY MERCHANT
BUSINESS MEN WILL. DEMON
sTRATE THAT ARDMoRE HAS
AS MANY BARGAINS TO OFFER
AS ANY CITY IN THE STATE.

The eight days Fare-Refunding sale
which is being inaugurated to take
place from July 8, till the Is, in Ard
more in which the principal mer-
is already attracting widespread at
tention and the outlook for the big
gest shoppers week in the history of
the city is good.
From the outlook at present it is
going to be a week in which the
shopper is going to have some real
benefits as the number of merchants
cooperating is going to be large and
all will have offerings in competition
with each other.
The Ardmoreite, which will issue
special addition next week giving
full particulars and making the sew
eral announcements, has already had
many injuries most of which have
been as to Just what course the shop
pers will have to pursue, and the
amount to be spent in order to get
the refund.
The full schedule will be published
in the special edition but the amount
of purchases is based on one dollar
for each mile travelled. In other
words if a SHOPPER comes eight miles
and spends eight dollars, he gets his
round trip ticket paid. If he only
spends four dollars he gets fare one
way. While this is an inducement
and places the out-of-town shopper
on the same level as the one who
resides in the city, the main feature
will be that special inducements in
bargains are to be offered.

GOOD ROADS
MEETING HERE
FOR TONIGHT
EVERY CITIZEN IN COUNTY HAS
BEEN INVITED TO COME AND
EXPRESS THEMSELVES ABOUT
THIS GREAT MOVEMENT.

Tonight at convention hall a mon
ster mass meeting of the citizens of
Ardmore and Carter county will as
semble to talk over the question of
bond isue for the purpose of build
ing permanent roads in Carter county
with Ardmore as the hub and radiat-
ing in four directions, east, west,
north and south. The business men
and property owners of the county
generally are at least convinced that
temporary repairs do not pay, and
they are determined that every dollar
spent in the future will be put into
permanent highways. With this OBJ
ject in view a few public spirited
men met and determined to ask for
bond issue, the county commissioners
agreed to cooperate with them if the
people want to vote the bonds and as
the consensus of opinion is that the
bonds should be voted there, is little
doubt but what the election will be
called. The meeting tonight will de-
termine future action put it is be-
lieved that there will be practically no
opposition to the issue.
Carter county needs roads worse
than any of the neighboring counties
according to business men who have
had occasion to travel extensively
over the southern portion of the state
and it begins TO look as if there was
going to be some definite action TAX
en- tonight.

police court yesterday on charge Of

Elvira Geiger. who rents rooms from
Mrs. Frielng, discovered the place in
confusion and $500 worth of her jew
elry missing.
The thieves had taken from a china
closet cut glass bowl and left il on
a table. Detectives found finger prints
in the dust on the bowl and told the
two women the possible value of such
clews. Mrs. Frieling expressed lively
interest and a detective offered to show
her how finger prints were taken.
After examining the impressions
made by the two women and those left
on the bowl he reported that the latter
had been made by Mrs. Frieling, and
subjected her 10 a brisk quiz. She sug-
gested searching the cellar and then
pointed out barrel in the storeroom,
according TO the detectives, which she
thought looked suspicious. In il were
found dinner ring and a gold pin
which Mrs. Geiger said she owned.
Mrs. Frieling told Magistrate Nc
Quade yesterday that two men in the
subway had noticed her worried ex-
preston and, on hearing the reason,
had mentioned the cellar as a good
place TO search for stolen jewels. She
was held in $1,000 bail for trial.

JURY FINDS LYON
MADE NO PROMISE
Tooth Powder Man Need Not
Pay Miss ConnelI 100000

Miss Margaret Connell, n modiste
with society patronage, evidently
was in error. She had a mental i'm
preston which was so strong that in
her mind it became fact. 1t was
that Whitney Lyon, a tooth powder
manufacturer, had promised to marry
her.
When Mr.. Lyon. failing to remember
any such engagement, refused TO make
her his second wife-he being a
widower-the modiste sued the tooth
powder maker for 100000 for breach
OF promise.
It took a Supreme Court jury six
hours yesterday to decide. notwith-
standing the insistence of Miss Con-
nell that Mr.. Lyon proposed marriage,
that there never was such a promise
and accordingly bring in verdict for
the defendant.
