wonderfully improved In health, Car
dinal Gibbons. the chief prelare of the
Catholic church In the United States,

at the cardinals disposal. When the
Campania arrived at quarantine short

much pleasure. He Is a really wonder

is also currently stated that your
administration has sold bonds to
the amount of $1,000. and sold the
same for rs cents on the dollar
when they were advertised TO sell
for not less than S5 cents. While
explaining the bond matter it
might be well TO state by what au-

fioated and the time, rate of inter-
est, etc., etc. 1t seems TO me that
faithful and a successful admins
tration of our little city govern
ment might be accomplished by
those intrusted with it constantly
bearing in mind that they are the
trustees of the people, holding
their funds sacredly, to be expend-
ed always for their benefit, and
from time TO time rendering an
honest account of the finances. The
affairs OF a municipality like ours
should be conducted on the same
principles that a good business
man would conduct his own priv
ate concerns. You hold the money
of the people of Vinita in your
hands, and it should certainly be
used to further their interests, and
as citizens and tax payers they
have a perfect right TO demand of
you to know what you have done
and are doing with their money.

SUNDAYS dispatches to the city
papers from Guthrie contained a
story that even surpassed the
usual Guthrie special, inasmuch as
nobody was killed. exprers
company robbed, but on the
other hand a string of outlaws
were taken out Of Jail and-not
lynched, but converted and bap-
tised, while the festive deputy
marshals stood guard and saw that
none escaped. All this was the
result of revival meetings held in
the Jail by Rev. w. D. White, pas
tor of the South Methodist church
in that city. Among the remark
able series of conversions made
were those of Bill Raider, a noted
bandit recently captured after a
hard battle in the Usage nation;
Jim Blue, held for pension fraud;
Jake Wolfe, a member of the
Wyatt gang OF desperadoes and a
leader in the recently contemplat-
ed raid on the Jail TO liberate Mrs.
Freeman and Mrs. Black; Bill JAN
uary, charged with robbing the
Plum post office; Riley Sweeny,
charged with murder, and sever
al others. They were baptised in
the baptistry of the Christian
church Sunday evening and then
taken back TO the Jail and locked
up.
