ger Of the grand Spectacular Celebra.
tiOn and Queens Coronation, which is
to be given on the first night Of our
Jubilee, arrived this morning, and
goes to work Immediately working
night and day to make perfect every
detail connected with the big cele.
bration. Mr.. Dunbar and his carnival
company consisting Of several very
noted soloists, electricians, etc, have a
wide reputation and the managers OF
our festivities consider themselves
very fortunate in securing for our
people such drawing card. A large
local chorus of 100 voices is being or
ganized and it is hoped that every one
receiving an invitation to take part In
this chorus will respond Immediately.
The time is short, but by a hearty
and immediate response of the singers
Mr.. Dunbar saws that Wellington may
have production equal to any given

pany calls for better one by its CON-
petltOr; this impels the other to build
a cutoff, and so the expansion
goes on, to the certain benefit OF the
public, II not always to the profit OF
the Investors. Routes between Chi
cago and the Pacific coast and Mexico
are numerous and seem ample fer the
demand, but other lines desire TO
share In the through business, and
at the same time develop new regions
enrOute.
A very important extension in this
direction is that which the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific company is SER
iously considering. Having pushed a
long line sOuthwesterly through Kan.
sss 10 the Oklahoma border at Liberal.
$50 miles from Chicago, it is now am-
bilious to push on TO a point near
White Oaks, In New Mexico, to con-
meet with the Ell Paso & Northeast
ern road, already built. which could
form Its extension to Ell Paso. on the
Mexican border. There connection
might be made with the Mexican
Central for Mexico City, and with the
Southern Pacific for the California
coast, forming routes which could
claim some advantage 10 directness
over existing lines. The distances by
such route would be about as fol.

the Santa Fe, if 1t chose, could make
a route to Los Angeles perhaps IS
miles shorter than Its present line via
La Junta and avoid the difficult
grades over the mountains between
Ration and Albuquerque. This would
also be little shorter than the Rock
Island and Southern Pacific route via
FL Paso. When built, the line from
Amarillo to Albuquerque would also
serve as an extension OF the Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf road, which will
probably by another year be complete
ed from Memphis, Tenn, due west to
Amarillo, 200 miles beyond Its pres
ert terminus, and in connection with
the Santa Fe via Albuquerque would
form the long-proposed 35th parallel
route to the Pacific.
These are some o, the important
possibilities OF construction In one
corner Of the southwest which will
ere long become realities.

Miss Sippey attracted a great deal
OF attention as a matter Of course.
She is rather small OF stature, has a
good figure, and a pretty face. A
reception in her honor will be held in
the parlors of the Arlington hotel the
Monday evening before the Jubilee
opens, probably after the coronation
ceremonies. The big band OF thirty
five musicians which has been en-
gagged to furnish music for the Jubi-

The accompanying map shows that
such an extension would have mater
ial advantages over existing lines TO

southern Pacific IL could form route
few miles shorter than that Of the

For Mexico the Rock Island would
have an advantage OF 1856 miles over
the present Santa Fe route.

possibilities by way Of its existing line
through the Texas Panhandle to
Amarillo, where IL connects with an
affiliated road, the Pecos Valley &

The relation of pastor and
people is such that it cannot be
severed without sadness, and We
are now called upon to give mp
onr beloved pastor, DR.. w. S.
Penick, we deem it fitting to say
that he has served us faithfully
in the cause of our Blessed
Master, for the past three years
and that we deeply regret the
separation from him and his be-
loved family.
His stay with us will be re-
mem bered with great pleasure
He has always been untiring
and devoted to the work of the
church, and the same has greatly
prospered under him, and his
beautiful christian example will
ever be for our good.
Where he goes we may not
follow, but in whatever ield he
may enter, our affections will
follow him and may the riches
of Gods grace be upon him, and
in taking leave of him and his
family, be it by the church,
Resolved, That in his separa>
ton from us, we lose one who
as pastor of this church has en-
deared himself 10 us all. We
recognize in him a scholar, an
able and eloquent preacher,
man true to his convictions and
consecrated christian; one
whose place we cannot easily

Heavenly Father in any and all
