WHY &
THE EL RENO MERCANTLE COMPANY IS SELLING CLOAKS,
SKIRTS and FURS, OVERCOATS and MEN’S and BOYS’SUITS
AT COST
We buy our merchandise for the Fall and Winter trade during the
months of April, May and June—six months before the trade opens
on these goods. When we bought Cloaks, Furs, Skirts and Men's
and Boys’ Clothing everything pointed to a record breaker of a
season in Fall and Winter Merchandise. We had an elegant Sum-
mer and Early Fall business, but when the
FINANCIAL PANIC
Struck us it was all off. Here we were, loaded to the brim with
good values in the above named articles and the people not feeling
able to buy, even the necessities, at the price. Nothing else to do
but “cut her loose,” which we did, and since opening our sale
Saturday, December 7th, we have moved a tremendous amount of
goods at actual cost to us. Come and see us.

The “No Name” Dancing dub
The young people’s dancing club
held another of their delightful lit-
tle hops in Gunn’s hall last night.
They will give another and a more
elaborate affair on Christmas night,
and the feminine contingent of the
club contemplate giving a leap year
ball on the night of January 1st.
At -the present 'the club has no
name. The names Swastika, Terpsi-
chore, Fortnightly, and others have
been suggested, and as the club first
was composed of twenty-three cou-
ples, the name “Skidoo” was proposed
but as yet no title has been chosen.
Name or noname, it le one of the
ulceut little organisations of clever
young people (ever assembled to-
gether in the nature of a club, in
thin city.

AMUSEMENTS
“Kerry Gow" Tonight.
Bernard Daly will be seen in the
El Reno Theatre tonight in the
above play. Borne Idea of the piece
is given In the following advance
notice:
Years ago, when General Grant
saw “Kerry Gow” at the old Park
Theatre, New York, he made the gen'
erous remark that “there was no
play that took one nearer to nature
than “Kerry Qow,” and how true
his remarks, as has been demonstrat-
ed these many years since.
Think of that old Irish home-
stead in the flrsit act that is about
to fall into the hands of the heart-
less landowner, and how the bleed
ing hearts of the members of the
Drew family stake their all on the
success of Raymond's horse tba't Is
about 'to race to save 'their home.
Then there Is the conspiracy that re
suits In the arrest of Ban O’Hara,
the young village farrier who is cast
Into prison just because he harbors
an Innocent love for Nora Drew. The
third act Is a real picture of motion.
There have been produced many
times since plays with a horse race
as a feature but. never has one of
them been able to introduce the real-
ism this one does. Here is Dan O''
'Hara at his forge, making a hone
shoe in full view of the audience,
and' the shoeing of the horse is ac-
complished In like manner. The
last act is one of simplicity and
beauty combined. The glad tidings
when the doves come back from the
track with the news that the race is
won and that the home Is saved has
always aroused the most enthusiastic
appreciation.
It Is just such features as this that
make good plays and is Just the rea-
son why "Kerry Gow" has been so
successful, it Is a simple story
plainly told.
William Maraaley
“When W* War* Friends’’ will be
the attraction <i (ht B1 Rno Thea-
tre tomorrow night. The author is
W. B. Patton who was seen here a
short time ago in “The Slow Poke,’’
and the leading man Is William Ma-
cauley, who has been seen in this
city several 'times in "The Little
Homestead," and “The Minister’s
Son.” Says an advance notice:
William Maoauley in hia new play
“’When We Were Friends’’ haa cer-
tainly been one of the hits of the sea-
son; a play without sensation but
with an interest that appeals to one
and all; a treat for those who love
pure, wholesome fun, free from
thrilling escapades, aod the usual
round of worn-orit effects that are
used to try to please an audience.
Instead, this is a play that no one
can fail to appreciate, a play with a
refined atmosphere surrounding it of
good healthy morals, not overdrawn
but true to nature. The pretty story
ripples along carrying 'the audience
through enough comedy element and
emotion to fill the heart and some-
times overflow the eye, and yet
strong enough to make a constant
accompaniment of laughter, to the
more WHous element. The inci-
dents aM episodes In “When We
Wets Friends'' are not so far nemov
ed from the ordinary, they might and
do happen in everyday life. The
characters are all attractive and lend
an additional charm to an already
beautiful story.
