COMPLIMENTARY.

Last week Mr.. q. NJ. Russell Of
the Press Office, received a letter
from his son, Geo. NJ Russell, Of
Webb City, Mo-. in which the fol.
lowing sentence occurs: Tell Mr..
jenkins that the Marion Electric
Light plant is far superior aud gives
much greater satisfaction than those
of either Webb City or Joplin. As
Joplin Is city of some fifty thous-
and inhabitants and Webb City thir
ty thousand, this is quite a compli
ment to the Marion plant. 1t may a.
we'll 10 state in thi- connection that
while in Marion last week Mr.. Perry
Maxwell, Of Ardmore, |. T. bore
testimony to tho great superiority of
the Marion Electric Light plant over
that of Ardmore, city Of ten thou
and people. OF course this unsolic
tied testimony to the excellence of
the Marion plant Is very gratifying.
and the management will in the fu-
ture. as in the past. work TO sustain
this high standard OF excellence.

INTERMEDIATE
COURT IS BEING
ADVOCATED

Charleston, W. Va, April a.
Owing 10 the large increase of cases
in the sumpere court in the past
year sentiment is growing for an in
termediate court of limited iurisdic-
tion. For several years the court
has been behind with the work, and
the judges are now about even, but
it hns been suggested that the ques4
tion of an intermediate court be
submitted 10 the people at the com
ing election.
TO possess court OF this kind a
constitutional amendment would be
necessary. Judge Poffenbarger ad-
yocates it. From April 20, 1904, to
April 90, 1905, 1853 cases were al
lowed. From April 20, 1905, to
April 90. 1906, 232 cases were al
lowed, making an increase Of "a
cases in one year, and if this rate
continues it is impossible for the
judges to keep up with the work.

SECOND hLDUP
OCCURRED LAST NIGHT

A daring and sneeessful hold-up
occurred on the Glen Elk bridge At
midnight last night. A gentleman
named Dan Druff, having arrived
on No, /, due here at 1850, was
making his way to the Waldo, when
the occurrence transpired. The
night was dark, and the wind which
was blowing freely. made it neces-
sary for Mr.. .Druff to use; one hand
to hold his hat-the other CARRYING
his grip-and walking with his head
down. AT the darkest corner Of the
bridge, where the shadows are black
est, two men, one tall and slim
and the other short and stout, sud-
denly appeared and in a cool, pro-
ftssional manner, which showed long
Experience at their nefarions calling,
started to relieve the victim of his
valuables.
The tall men seized Mr.. Druff in
a peculiar strangle hold, and PIN
ioned his arms, while his short, stout
companion quite Systematically
went through his pockets and secur-
ed his wallet. After grufiy order
ing the unhappy victim to move on
the two robbers jumped over the
railing of the bridge on TO the Short
Line railroad tracks and disappear
ed in the darkness.
Mr.. Dan Druff made his way to
the Waldo and poured his tale Of
woe into the cars of a sympathetic
crowd, composed OF heltb6ys, tray
elers and be1ated citizens, one Of
whom. BY thoughtful foresight in an
Of the II O'Clock closing
hour, applied restoratipes 10 The an
fortunate victim of this latest out
rage. In describing his loss, Mr..
Dan RruiT related that the wallet
contained small alnopntof money
which loss he does not regret, but
unfortunately there wy;fe also two
reserved seats Cor the Big Elks Min
strels forgThnrsday night, April 26,
which loss is almost irreparable, SO
great is the sale of seats.
Up to the present no arrests have
been made, but from the deserip-
tions given it is thought these two
are the same who were engaged in
a similar hold-up on the Main street
bridge about two months ago. The
police viii keep a close watch at the
door on Thursday night, April 26,
in hopes that the holders Of the
tickets may be apprchended in case
they cannot give a satisfactory eS-
planation of having them in their
possession, because such desperate
methods Of obtaining seats for the
big show while complimentary are
not to be encouraged.
