the Message" an In
tereSting Letter.

Anadarko, Ok. , Nov 1901. -
John Beal, Dear sir and friend:
The MESSAGE came to hand on
time and was indeed a treat to
wife and |. Even the children
spell out the words to see if they
can find anything they know about
"up home" You are doing a good
work there, John, and | hope you
are getting the encouragement and
support, both financial and other
wise, you so much deserve.
| am doing nicely; have a good
position with the Missouri Cash
Grocery. jim Sims, formerly of
Mexico, is proprietor. Yes, Mrs.
Arnall was Il little put out" when
she arrived here. but she's be-
coming accustomed to the weather,
which is variable with high winds,
and likes it here real well. Says
she don't want to 60 back to Mex
leo to reside, but hopes to visit
there often.
Well, John, what do you think
poor old unlucky Felix the owner
of a 100 acre farm; but it's so,
just the same, and | wish you
could see it. 1t certainly is a
beauty, but as to the productive
ness of the soil other than grass,
can say. | have been offered
more than it's worth, probably
but it is not for sale.
This is great country. Some
of the most startling changes have
occurred here i'll the last 90 days
mortal man ever witnessed. When
| got here, the 9th of August, ]
found one of the finest cOrniields
ever saw; now it is a city of 4,
$50 people, with Democratic
mayor and council and Republi-
can marshal and police Judge
stocks of goods that would dc
credit to places twice its size, lum,
Der yards galore and saloons-welI
a man can get a drink here if he
can make choice in the ffty-twC
licensed places where it is kept for
retail, besides the four or fiv,
wholesale concerns.
Well, earnestly hoping you may
continue prosperous and happy,
remain, Your friend,
FELIX l.. ARNALL.

The following special" we take
from Tuesdays Kansas City Star:
jefferson City, Nov. 12.-An i'm
portant ruling was made in divis-
ion No. , of the supreme court this
morning in an opinion by Judge
Sherwood in which the court holds
that conviction under a city or
dinance does not bar the state from
prosecuting the same person for
the same offence because the pro
ceeding under the city ordinance is
in the nature of a civil proceeding.
The case decided was that of
James Muir of Mexico, who was
convicted under an ordinance of
that city for gambling and fined s.
which he paid. He was then in
dicted by the circuit court of Au-
drain county for the same offense
and again convicted He pleaded
the former conviction as a bar to
the second action, but the supreme
court holds that the state has
a clearer right to prosecute regard
less of the prosecution of munich
