A Vivid Imagination,

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Ths
case of William r. Draper, {
newspaper correspondent arres:
ted yesterday on a warran-
charging him with being a fugi
tive from justice, came up fo'
hearing in the court of crimina
correction today, and, by mutua
consent, was postponed to Dec
10Th. Draper's offense was tn,
authorship of an alleged libelou,
article concerning an Indian

Valkenburg, editor, and Emory
Foster, Sunday editor of the
North American, accompanied by
White Buffalo, Col. R. H. Pratt,
superintendent of the Carlisle,
Pa, Indian school at which insti-
tuition the Indian was educated,
and Judge James G. Gordon. OF
Philadelphia, are here to prose-
cute the case.
The article in question stated
that White Buffalo had been sent
to a government school for Indi
ans at Carlisle, Pa, where he was
educated; that he had returned
to his tribe imbued with deer
hatred for the white race; that
he first met Mary Andrews and
after courting her for a while
bound her to pony and when
found she was dead; that he then
met Annie Dennis, and after q
short courtship, her throat was
cut; that White Buffalo then met
Maud Ellis and in short time
she was found with a knife blade
in her heart. The article went
on to state that White Buffalo was
under arrest and in Jail charged
with the murders.

One of the most interesting So
ciety events Of the season was the
marriage, on Wednesday evening
Nov. 20, 1902, Of Miss frankie
Scott to Mr.. Otis M. Smith. The
ceremony which united the hearts
and lives of these we'll known and
popular young people, was per-
formed by Rev. }. W. Meats, at
8 o'clock, at the residence OF the
BRIDES parents, in the presence
of the relatives and quite a num-
Der Of the most intimate friends
of the contracting parties. The
bride and groom were attended
by Chas. Scott and Miss Maude
Price. The cozy home of the
brides parents, on East Okla
homa Avenue, was tastefully
decorated for the occasion, white
chrysanthemums being the flow
ers chosen. The bride was most
becomingly attired in white
French lawn, and carried bou-
quet of white chrysanthemums
the bridesmaid wore a handsome
dress of pink organdie. Elegant
refreshments we're served, after
which the happy young couple
repaired to the cozy home await
ing them on East Main street.
They were followed by the merry
crowd of young associs tes, who
sang the most appropriate song
for the occasion "Home Sweet
Home"
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Scott, and is a
most popular young lady, and a
general favorite with all her
young associates, while the groom
who is the son of Mr.. andMrs. w.
H. Smith, of this city, is a most
estimable young business man,
and at present employed as book
keeper in the Anadarko National
Bank.
The great number of beautiful
presents which came from far
and near bear evidence OF the
general esteem in which these
fortunate young people are held.
The citizens of Anadarko join
with the Democrat in wishing for
them all the good which life holds
in store for mortals.

COMMERCIAL BANQUET.
A Social gathering Of the Men,
bers and Their Friends. The
Event Of the Season.
From Saturdays Daily.

The banquet at the Windsor
hotel last night was an elegant
spread, the proprietor doing him
self proud and the program OF
toasts presented being a most
commendable one.
The guests were all seated al
$3.50 o'clock, ahd in a moment
each one was peacefully occupied
with knife aud fork and dead to
the cares of the outside world.
"Oh supreme moment of happi-
ness when the man who hungereth
sitteth down TO a well filled plate.
This life holds nothing beyond
for him."
At length, Hon. +. f.. Gillette,
toastmaster, aroused us from our
lethargy and in earnest and elo-
quent sentences showed the i'm
portance of an energetic CONNER
cial Club to Growing Cities, ready
to grasp every opportunity poss
ible for advancement, Surely it
was high tide in the affairs of
Anadarko, when the good Judge
cast his lot with her citizens.
The first response by B. H.
Randolph, is his second appear
ance at this banquet board. In
"The Commercial Club" he re-
counted its helpful achievements
to Anadarko, in securing
the large appropriation, The
Cotton Gin, The Ice Plant and
celebrations that advertised us to
a great extent.
In the response by Mr.. Fred
Pfaff was shown the reforming,
refining and ennobling influence
of woman. Truly are the ladies
our guiding stars. They are the
stars of the plays, with the whole
world as a stage.
While many Thanksgiving
banquets were held and many
were the responses this night,
yet | am sure that / am correct in
saying that at no place or time
was there a more beautiful
or more thoroughly appreciative
response rendered than was the
fifth by Mrs. Chas. r. Hume.
Her remarks that the program con
tanned 10 numbers, with only one
lady and that the "" stood for
the lady and the 20" for the gen.
tlemen, caused much merriment.
And what is her "history?" The
history of true and educated
womanhood is written in golden
letters everywhere. You have
but to read the history of our
country in the time of Queen Isa-
bella, of Queen Elizabeth, of
Americas Queens Helen M.
Gould, Louise M. Alcott, Francis
f.. Willard and others.
The 7th subject, "Our Schools"
by Prof. Thompson was convinc-
ing that we have a most splendid
school system. His statistics
show one million lady teachers
none over 16 years of age.
Yes, ''Merchants" form the
bone and sinew of war for build
ing up large prosperous cities.
And Mr.. NJ. n. Gish in the 9th
toast demonstrated his ability
and broadmindness to represent
that important class of citizens in
the city of Anadarko. May they
ever be, as he says they are, able
to furnish anything from the
CRADLE to the coffin"
To the 10th response, "Wha'
are we Thankful for?" Hon. Dyke
Ballinger won the hearts of all il
his "heart TO heart" talk, anc
his thankfulness for IA trains ou
of Anadarko will never be needed
to carry one away.
Mr.. A. T. Boys closing toast
was a bright picture of the "Fu'
ture," and every one present was
ready to drink to every member
of the Commercial Club of Ana.

Tho Union Meetings

The Union Revival meetings
were held in the Presbyterian

was engaged for the evening.
The attendance was good, and
the intense interest manifested
was very gratifying to the evan
gelists who have labored so faith
fully during these meetings. The
discourse from the subject, "The
Love of God" was unusually in
teresting, and resulted in quite a
number of additions to the various
churches. These meetings have
been we'll attended, throughout
the entire time, and have un-
doubtedly accomplished a great
deal of good in our city. Most
of the ministers in the city are
deeply interested in these meet
ings, and are assisting the evan
gelists in every way in their
power. Every one is urged to
attend these meetings, which will
be held in McAninch Hall, here
after.

cotton than Chickasha. In the

to the cotton buyers of that city

of cotton so much per 10. as long
as that money lasted. And by
