1T7HE GRAND OPENING of the

IISHE GRAND OPENING of the
r + .llinery department of the
Jumbo Store occurred Friday evening
last and the management of this en-
terprising establishment is indeed to
be complimented upon the success
scored. They had their entire store
handsomely decorated and on every
side you could see hats, hats aud hats,
and not only were they hats, but
hats of style copied from the most ar
tistic Partisan patterns. Seldom is
seen such work of art, and every hat
shown was trimmed by Miss Bertha
Hayward, their trimmer, from Evans
vile, Indiana. Miss Hayward is an
artist, besides being pleasant little
lady. The doors were opened at Z
O'Clock, while the Vinita brass band
was discoursing sweet strains of music
in front of the store; Mr.. Churchill,
tue manager, met the guests at the
door and requested them to step over
and get nice souvenir bouquet which
were being handed out by Mr.. J. &.
Davis and Miss Sue Clark. The visit
or was then requested TO step further
back in the store where the proprietor,
Mr. w. II. Wade, presented Jumbo
souvenir glass and ushered you over to
table where Mr.. c. c. Ironside stood,
ladle in hand, over punch bowl-but
he only served lemonade out OF IL, OF
which you were invited TO indulge and
partake Of wafer. The ladies tried
on the hats and on every side you
could hear them talking Of the beauty
of this one and that. 1t is hoped the
Jumbo Store may have many openings
and none may he less pleasant than
that of last Friday evening" Sept. "a,

Through the quarter just now ending,
which included the cheated term, -
the vacation quarter" when the at
tendance is generally not large, the
average attendance shown by Secre-
tary L. F. Thompson's minutes, has
been above eighty. The PreSbyter-
ians, under the ministry of Pastor w.
L. King, are developing a taste for
bible study, and regular bible readings
are held during the week, under the
leadership of the pastor and much in
trest is being manifested. Now with
their newly furnished and newly
lighted building they certainly enter
the fall campaign with the very
brightest prospects for success and
growth.

Killed Four For a Bride,

San Antonio, Tex, May 17.-Henry
Bridgeman, an American stockman,
living near Monclova, Mexico, arrived
here Saturday with news of quad
ripple tragedy just enacted on the
Hacienda Del Cedral, near his ranch.
Macedonia Frausta 17-year-old boy
of that neighborhood, was in love with
Anita Moyas, the pretty daughter Of
ranchman. The girls family OPP
posed the marriage, and Frausta armed
himself and started for her home. On
the road he met Manuel Soils, man
ager of the hacienda, accompanied by
one of the girls brothers. The boy and
the two men had some warm words,
and Frausta deliberately shot and
killed them both. Another brother of
the girl arrived on the scene, and he
was also shot and killed, as was Man
uel Herrera, who attempted his cap
ture. The girl and boy then eloped.

Ex-Governor LewelIine's Defense

Wichita, Kan, May 17.-The Popu-
lists of this county held a mass con-
vention here for the purpose of inter-
rogating Ex-Governor L. D. Lewelling,
now state senator, and the representa-
tive from this county, with reference
to their action in the last Legislature on
maximum freight rate legislation. Sem
ator Lewelling became the target for
keen innuendoes, and the last legis-
lature was scored numerically. Lew
cling finally made speech in his own
defense, saying he had lived so years
with a reputation, but now in his de-
clining years he was charged with po-
litical corruption and boodling. He de-
MED his guilt, and added: IT did not
ask disposition at your hands. You
forced me to represent you" He said
he would resign the office of senator
before the next election.

points of which were agreed upon

Chief Tetabiate's civilized name, and
Colonel Poinado, of the Mexican army,
was ratified with much ceremony, and
peace was declared. The celebration of
hostilties is hailed with joy by every

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Cuban Affairs VIII Probably Consume
s the Lawmakers' Time.

Cuban Affairs VIII Probably Consume
s the Lawmakers Time.
Washington, May 17s--The proceed
ings In the senate this week are by no
means settled. All will depend upon
the course the Cuban question may
take. Senator Morgan's joint resolu-
ton occupies the favored place on the
calendar, and there Is little doubt that
1t will be taken up at the appointed
hour today. Still there is a slight pos
sbilty that the expected message of
the president may cause a postpone
ment, and that the character of his
recommendations may have a bearing
that will influence the tenor of the
resolution that ultimately will be adop-
ted. The Alabama senator will not
stand in the way of action in accord
ance with such a recommendation as
the president may make upon this
subject. but he will insist that 1t shall
be independent Of and that it shall in
no wise interfere with his resolution
providing for recognition Of Cuban bel
ligerency.
The house leaders have not yet de-
cided upon the methods by which they
will make their response to the presi-
dents message, which will be sent to
congress today or tomorrow, asking
for relief for the starving Americans
in Cuba. That the response will be
quick and complete, however, there is
no reason to doubt. In the present
condition of affairs in the house three
methods of procedure are open. Ordi-
narily the message would 60 to the
committee on foreign affairs for con-
sideration, and that committee would
report bill which would come back
to the house for action through the
regular channels. The speaker could
in the present emergency simply ap-
point this committee and let the whole
subject take the regular course. But
it is hardly likely that this will be done.
The subject is so well understood that
it probably will be thought that the
members, with the message and the
accompanying documents which the
president will transmit before them,
can act intelligently without COM
mittee report

Two Vessels Wrecked, All Hands Saved


st. Johns, N. F., May 1.-THE French
brigantine Croisine, from Bayonne for
st. Pierre, with valuable general
cargo, went ashore Saturday morning
near Lamaline, New FOundland. A
heavy sea was running, and the crew
succeeded with great difficulty in
launching the boats, which were almost
swamped among the breakers. They
rowed all day and all Saturday night,
but were unable to find the land. They
had no provisions, so hurried was the
start from the vessel, and they suf-
fered greatly from the cold and drench-
ing sea. About noon yesterday they
were picked up by a pilotboat. The
crew numbers 20, most Of them being
greatly exhausted from hunger and
rowing. The German steamer Arcadia
went ashore yesterday near Cape Ray,
on the southern side of the Gulf of st.
Lawrence, in dense fog. Her 25 pas
sengers and the crew of "a had a des-
perate experience in reaching land.

Beet Snrnr seed Exhausted.

Washington, May 1.-THE beet sugar
seed which the agricultural department
has been distributing is practically
exhausted, about 10000 pounds having
been sent out to farmers in about four
fifths of the states. The seed has been
distributed in packages of from one
ounce to half a pound, purely for eX-
detrimental purposes. The beets grown
from the seed will be analysed, and the
saccharine matter determined to ascer-
tain where beets can be profitably
grown for the production of sugar.
