PARADE STREETS OF TULSA!
A BRILLIANT SPECTACLE
P.EBEKA AS SEEMLY AND GRAND
LODGE MEETINGS.
Nights- and Days of Beautiful Cere
monies and Brillian Addresses,
Banquets and Good Times.
Tin1 parade, announced In si ml nl
0 o'clock, did iit .lift off unlil 1::!
o'clock, lint at, that hour, and pt-e-ceded
by tin1 Commercial t'lul) band
went in -rt h to tin' track from Masonic
Hall, t tin l'.rady and tin- Robinson
hotels, and thence t the opera housi',
follow inu tlic roiito published in yes
terday's issue of tin' World.
Tin chief feature of the parade was
tlio presence of many ladies of the
Hehckah local lodges and the Kebe
kali :isi'tnlily, who tramped the pre
served route as lustily as (lie men.
Some of Ihem fell out along the line,
hnl when they passed the Robinson
ii-id turned into the home st retell
there were -17 holding their own and
keeping up with the procession as
manfully ns those of the sterner sex.
Karly in i;he parade there were
fully 400 in line and at, the wind-np
uhout 270. A few meinhers of the
'uniform rank led the loin: line, he
hind them came the hand, and then
followed the rank and tile.
The impression conveyed to the
minds of the onlookers was one more
of strength than show. The marchers
were from every lart of the Indian
Territory, and had quit the plow, the
workshop, the store and ollice to trans
act the husiness of their beloved or
ganization and to see Tulsa at the
same time. The order is indeed a
powerful one and includes in its mem
bership the best there is in 11 walks
of life.
At the Opera House.
. When the parade disbanded it took
but a few minutes to till the Urand
Opera house, which, when all were
seated, presented a magnificent spec
tacle and a most inspiring one to
those who took part in the exercises.
In hoJialf of the city, ex-Mayor K'eed
er made the welcoming address, ami
in his usual cheery and hearty man
lier gave all to feel they were welcome
in Tulsa by Tulsa people. Few men
can talk belter on organization mat
ters than Doctor Keedei', because he
is himself an active member of sev
eral orders and appreciates and values
"fraternity and the many blessings
fraternity brings with it. His talk
was for the "good of the order" and
made a fine impression.
Oeorgc W. Mowbray, Sr., also made
a very effective speech, but probably
our citizens enpoyed hearing Grand
Master La Fayette better than all oth
ers. The Grand Master impressed
himself on his audience ns being a
man to whose heart closely lay the
best interests of the I. O. 0. F. He
is clear in speech, shrewd, and evi
dently a capable business man.
The most interesting feature was
the exercises by the little ones of the
Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home at Che
cotah. Without fathers and mothers,
these wards of the order show in ev
ery movement, in their appearance
and in their happiness that the fr
raiuzation t which their parents
belonged has taken tb place of the
parent and is performing a parent s
dutv towards them.
It is this last feature of well di
rected charity that makes the I. 0.
O. F. one of the best and strongest
organizations on earth.

DOWIE SAYS THE TIME HAS COME
TO TALK OF DREADFUL THINGS
Chicago, April 10. Alexander Dow
ie was greeted by a howling, strug
gling mob, numbering into the thou
sands when he arrived at the Wabash
depot at S:4. a. in.. Calling to a
handful of followers ill the crowd nnd
the correspondents, Dowie said: "I
shall not leave Chicago until 1 have
arranged the matter from a legal
standpoint. I have no desire to squab
ble on the streets of Zion for the pos
session of my" property, even though
those who usurped me do. I am a law
abiding man, and want the law to
take its course. Yoliva and his fol

ion City, April 10. ion's day of
vengeance and miracles opened cold
and cloudy and disagreeable. Obeying
their new leaders the residents kept
to their houses. The streets were
practically deserted. A family re
union at Shiloh House had been ar
ranged, where Yoliva and Judge
Barnes are expected to meet the de
posed prophet and tell him that he is
down and out.
When the news reached here that
Dowie intends to stay in Chicago, Yol

"THE WORLD" printery is now equipped to do Job Printing. The wheels of the jobbers
began turning this morning and customers all express themselves pleased with the work
turned out. The printers and pressmen of "THE WORLD" are not excelled in the ter
N ritories! New. types, new machinery and the latest and best of stock handled by print

suits your business. Let- "THE WORLD" figure with you and save you $$$$$$.
Partisanship and insincerity mark
ed the only action of a majority of
the Democratic members of the new
city council at its first meeting last
night. Within thirty seconds after
the new members were sworn in, Coun
cilman Randolph, with nervous fer
vor, moved that the Tulsa Daily Dem
ocrat be made the official city paper
The motion was seconded with like
haste ly another Democrat and the
question was put by Mayor Mitchell.
Councilmcn Hawley and Rumley sug
gested that partisanship he laid aside,
and the council conduct the affairs of
the city in a lusincss-likc manner, and
insisted that the city printing he giv
en to the lowest responsible bidder
Mr. Rumley amended Randolph's mo
tion that as a matter of economy fhe
city printing he let to the lowest bid
der. .On roll call the amendment was
tied, Randolph, Yeager and Belt vot
ing no, and Rumley, Hawley and Cupp
aye, Hatch passing. Mayor Mitchell,
stating that while he favored economy,
did not think it entered in the ques
tion at issue, voted "no," defeating
the amendment. On the original mo
tion, Randolph, Yeager and Belt vot
ed "aye;" Rumley, Hawley and Cupp
"no." When Mr. Hatch's name was
called he turned to the mayor and
asked:
"Do I understand, Mr. Mitchell,
that this resolution carries with it the
understanding that the city printing
is to be given to the lowest bidder?"
"Yes, that's the way of it," an
swered the mayor.
"Then I vote 'aye'," said Mr.
Hatch.
The proceeding was rushed through
in a frenzy of hurry, the mayor and
Democratic members, barring Mr.
Hatch, acting as if they feared Coun
cilman Mathcwson would jump in
from Washington before they got
through. It was as rank a play of
partisanship as ever was perpetrated,
and palpably proved the insincerity
of the newly elected legislators in
their "economy" yelping during the
recent city election. Had it not been
for the careful parliamentary work
of the Republican aldenuen, assisted
by Mr. Hatch, the Democrat would
have been given a key to the city's
strongbox, with the privilege to dip
as deep and as often as it might
please. As it is, the Democrat may
prove to he in the same box with
one of Opie Read's "judges" who, as
the result of a political campaign,
missed the office, but kept the title. ,
The last session of the old city
council was lenirthy. Most of the
time was consumed by discussion
which to laymen appeared somewhat
irrelevant, incompetent and immat
tcrial. It would not have seemed the
same council had not "the watchdog
of the treasury," Mr. Peirsol, raised
his never-ending obstructions, which
he did on several matters with all the
customary eclat, pomp and ceremony.
Mr. North came in a close second to
Mr. Peirsol in the race of "sweetness
long drawn out," with the result that
it was past midnight before ex-Mayor
Heeder was given the opjuirtunity ti
"welcome the coming, and speed the
parting guests." The subject which
so worried the minds of Mr. Peirsol
and Mr. North was ancient history,
the matter of the additional est of
the sewerage system, which was set
tled satisfactorily and approved and
disposed of months ago, by the same
citv council, of which Mr. Peirsol and
Mr. North were numbers. The un
called-for ilelav and ililly-dallving
looked as if Mr. Peirsol were hitting
out at random in a desire for revenge
for the awful "sitiin' down on"
which he received at the late election.
At any rate, the "innocent bystand-
