CONSUMERS VS. COMPANY.
Controversy at Ramona Over April
Gas Charges for Heating Stoves.
A controversy has arisen at Ramo
na between the consumers and the
gas company that may have a far
reaching effect before it is over, says
the Star. It is because of a charge
made by the company for the use of
pas in April for heating- purposes. The
old company charged for heating
stoves for six months of the year, from
October to April. This year the new
company charges a half rate, $1.00,
for heating stoves in this month. Con
sumers naturally object to paying ev
en a half rate where they have been
paying nothing heretofore. There is
talk that the company, in making this
charge, is violating its franchise, but
the company cloims that there is no
provision' in the franchise for free
gas at any time, only for church,

school and municipal lighting pur
poses. Some patrons refused to pay this
heating charge for April, but tender
ed payment for their cooking stoves.
The company refused to take what it
considered part payment unless pat
rons would Hist promise to disconnect
their heating 'stoves. The company
wants the consumers either to pay
the rate asked or disconnect their
heating stoves so that the pis cannot
be. used. The company claims that if
the stoves are allowed to remain con
nected consumers will be able to use
pas free of charge. The company
says that it made the half rate be
cause, while it was not necessary to
keep fire in heating stoves all the
time, there will be part of the month
when a fire will feel comfortable. The
company's position is that if pas is
used the company expects to be paid
for it.
Some patrons paid the rate asked
and some refused. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen.

THE MYSTERY
YET UNSOLVED
SO FAR NO ONE HAS GUESSED
THE RIGHT FIRM
INTEREST IS INCREASING
More Letters Being Received Hourly
Number of Prominent People
Named but Right One in Doubt
Out of several hundred letters re
ceived by the "Mystery Department"
of the World relative to the advertise
ment now running in the paper con
taining the "mysterious letters" the
right firm has not yet been picked by
anyone. This will be a tip to subse
quent guessers. You may yet be the
first to guess the proper firm. In
order to give its readers assistance in
the matter, the World will say that
the firm advertising is one of the
most important in the city; that it
has carried an advertisement in the
World every day since the paper was
established; that it is one of the
oldest stores in the city; and that it
believes in advertising". Only two
people know who is represented. They
are the proprietor of the store and the
advertising manager of the orId
Even the clerks employed by the firm
are unaware of the fact. All con
cerned will be given an equal oppor
tunity to win out. There will be no
favoritse plav, and the FIRST PER
SON correctly naming the RIGHT
FIRM will be handsomely rewarded
for his ingenuity. The game so far
is just as it was when it started. The
magic lock is yet unopened, and you
have as good a chance as anyone to
bo ahead. In another part of the
paper will be found a form which you
may use in sending in your guesses,
Get your name in early, as the big
doings will soon be over.

A REVERSAL OF THE CASE.
Joplin papers1 bad a great deal to
say about TuU-a being out of Webb
City's class when thi' three games be
tween those teams were played there
last week. There was only one score
difference in the three games, yet
Tulsa was outclassed, according to tho
keen sporting editors of the mining
town." Yesterday Tulsa took the third
and last game of the series here, by
11 to 2. The other two games were
5-4 and 3-0. It appears to a man up
a tree that the case is reversed, and
Webb City is completey out of Tulsa's
class. (Joplin papers please copy.)

sad event the schools in this city are
closed today, and her fellow teachers
are gone to attend the funeral of the
one they admired and loved so much.
Miss Estell was a faithfulinstruct
ress in the primary deportment last
year ami this, and altho suffering from
a complication of diseases, was faith
ful to her duties, and constant at her
post up to last Friday, when she was
((impelled to quit teaching. On last
Wednesday she went to Sapulpa, and
all ho it was known she was very ill,
the announcement of her death was a
great shock to all who knew her.
The deceased was a native of Tip
ton, Missouri, where her mother now
lives, and where her remains will be
taken this evening for interment. She
was a consistent member of the Bap
tist church, and a lovely and amiable
character, ller pupils loved her, the
teachers loved her, and all acquainted

gentle and womanly qualities. She
was a member of the Order of Eastern
Star, and her fellow members also
went to Sapulpa today to attend the
funeral.
This is the second teacher the pub
lie schools have lost through death this
scholastic year, but their memories
and services will long be precious to
those among whom they so faithfully
labored.

III PURCHASE
IRE PICTURES
ART EXHIBIT A SUCCESS FROM
FINANCIAL STANDPOINT
$128 PROFIT WAS MADE
Committee Appointed to Select Sub
jects and to Decide Whether to
Buy Framed or Unframed-
In the hurry and excitement of
election week and in the coming of
the Odd Fellows to Tulsa this week
the work done by the Tuesday Book
Club in stimulating a taste for art in
our public school scholars has almost
been forgotten by the public. Tho
Club has not forgotten, however, and
with the money it obtained through
the Art Hxhihit is now preparing to
do something lasting for the child
ren. The pictures known as the Art
Kxhibit hung for a week on the walls
of the hih school room in the South
side building and were seen by n
great many people iu that time. Had
the weather been better than it was
many more would have availed them
selves of the opportunity, but as it
was the exhibit was a decided suc
cess as may be seen by the follow
ing: From the tickets sold by tho school
. .. . . ., i . a l
children anil mo nuniner oi neopiu
who paid at the door $128 was real
ized. From refreshments sold $20
more was taken in, making a total
of $148. The rent of tho piano and
other expenses came to $20, which
taken from $148 leaves $128, clear
profit. This sum is now in the treas
ury and -will be used ' to purchase
pictures from the firm which loaned
the exhibit. These pictures will be
hung iu the school houses and will be
a constant inspiration to the pupils.
Two questions are now being con
sidered by the commmittee ap
pointed to select the pictures. The
first is, "Is it better to purchase the
pictures without the frames," and
the second, "What pictures to pur
chase." By buying the frames with
the pictures they will, of course, get
fewer pictures for the money and
have to pay much more in the way
of freight. By spending tho money
for pictures only and getting them
framed in Tulsa will encourage home
industry md give them more and
perlups better value for their money.
Tho pictures i.loiie will cost from
$2.f)0 to $10.00 each.
The committee to settle these
momentous questions is represented
from the schools, the Tuesday Book
Club and the public, and is as fol
lows: From the schools Miss May
gi n ties and Miss Champion; from the
Club Mesdames J. M. Hall, James
Bowen and Lee Clinton; ' from the
public Mrs. Townsend, an artist of
considerable ability.
That these ladies will do what
is best and wisest for the children
and with the money is beyond the
shadow of a doubt.
E. A. I.oyd, wife and sister of Stig
ler, I. T., nre here to locate. Mr.
Loyd will be with the Santa Fe and
Midland Valley Railroad companies.
