We understand that Mr. Amsler will not occupy the farm butTbought it simply as an investment. He owns other lands in this county. The price paid was SSO per acre. Mr. Amsler is also negotiating for the purchase of the Simeon A. Dowell farm, north of town, but the deal had not been consumated yet yesterday morning.

Elias Pullen and family have just moved from Jasper county to the old Eichelburner farm east of town. They have one child, a boy of about two years. In fixing up the house yesterday evening a bottle of patent medicine was placed where the child got hold of it, and he drank some of it—how much is not known, but enough to burn his mouth and throat and put him into a stupor. Dr. G. W. Thompson, who was called, thinks the child will recover. — Pulaski County Democrat. J. F. Warren writes home from Oklahoma that Oklahoma City is one of the busiest towns he was eve Fin. Everything is booming and more business is transacted each day than is usually done in cities many times larger. After running all over the city in search of a house for rent he finally found a small, six-room house that could be had for S3O per month. He did not want to pay any such price, so didn’t clinch the deal for it. Oklahoma City, according to the 1900 census, has a population of 10,037, and is growing rapidly. Frank Morlan, who accompanied Mr. Warren west, has secured work at his trade, carpentering, and will remain in Oklahoma City. Mr. Warren expects to return home the first of the week.
