The feminine portion OF Rocky Ford
population wns not in good humor last
Sunday. The cause OF downcnst spirits
was the rain which fell, causing the ma
ny new Easter hnts to lie quietly in the
bandboxes Mt home instead OF making n
gorgeous display at the churches. In
glancing over the congregations the
scores OF beauties sold by Mrs. Keil were
not visible. The wealth Of lovely millin-
cry provided by Miss Goblin was no.
where in sight. The perfect dreams OF
hats so largely sold by Miss Cline were
not in evidence. However, there will be
another Sunday and then look out for
dazzling display.

Britain ION account of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. or by Costa Rica or
Niearag qua, Mr.. Harris said:
Il anticipate no trouble on that score,
and 1 have endeavored to look into this
phase of the question: as thoroughly as
possible. 1 am certain, from all that 1
can hear that Great Britain will not in
woke the Clayton -Bulwer treaty as a
possible bar to our going ahead with
this canal.
THE Clayton-Bulwer treaty will not
rise up to vex the United States; of
that I am positively sure. I have like
wise the best of reasons for saying that
Costa Rica and Nicaragua will extend
a friendly hand to this government and
negotiate the proper sort of treaty with
US.
ut goes without saying that with an
American canal through the territory of
these two sovereign states, the United
States would stand ready at all times
as against any enemy of those states to
maintain their independence and pro-
tect it's vast property interests invested
for the commercial benefit of the world.
1.-THE canal would be neutral and the
states through which it runs would
command that respect which comes
from the fear of the powerful nation
that guarantees not only the neutral
ity of the canal, but of the countries in
which it is located. It would give these
two small nations a standing which
alone they could not maintain"

Married In Haste.

Chicago, Jan. 31-Andrew Brock, a rail-
road road conductor from Joplin, Mo, came to
Chicago to see about a business matter.
He was delayed by a wreck and arrived
here too late to attend to the affair.
While waiting for a return train. he de-
ctded to call on some friends living on
Grand avenue. near Wood street. There
he met Miss Anna Brown. a neighbor of
the family. Mr.. Brock fell in love with
her, became engaged and they We're ,Sslar-

Joined the advancing American line.
The views which Mr.. Rocket showed
last evening began with the leaving of the
troops from the Preside at San Fran
philippine campaign A number of sun
rise and sunset scenes were shown, which
were gorgeous in their coloring.
The camera which Mr.. Rocket used was
one made expressly for him. He always
carried from 30 to 50 plates on his back,
and was armed with a revolver. He lost
many fine views on account of his plates
getting wet in fording rivers or being
out in the rains, or from accidents.
Excellent pictures were shown of Lieu
tenant Colonel Little, whom Mr.. Rocket
pronounced the most popular man in the
Twentieth Kansas, Colonel MetcaIf, Cen
eral Funston and others. In some of the
groups some of the company A men are
easily recognizable. Among the views is
one of Admiral Dewey, taken on a street
in Manila The admiral is not more than
ture shows him at his best. 1t is a side
view and shows Dewey much grayer
than most of his pictures.
The proceeds from the entertainment
last evening will be applied towards the
cost of the memorial tablet to be placed
in the high school building to the memory
of Resil Manahan, a Topeka High school
boy, who was one of the victims of the
Mauser bullets.
Mr.. Rocket will return to Topeka about
March l and will give another exhibition
in the Grand opera house under the aus
pices of the Twentieth Kansas association
recently organized in Topeka.

MILLS AGAINST OIL TAX.
Former Tariff Reformer Rich and Out
of Politics.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 31-Former Uni
ted States Senator Roger Q. Mills, of
Corsicana, is leading the fight which is
being made by the Standard Oil COM
pany and the other oil producers of the
Corsicana oil district against the pro-
posed tax of two per cent. on the gross
earnings of Texas oil companies and
oil producers. now before the state leg
islature.
Senator Mills claims that the pro-
posed tax would have ruinous effect
on the oil interests of the state. There
are now nearly 500 producing oil wells
in the Corsicana district. Senator
Mills has forty-seve producing wells
on his farm, adjoining the city of Cor
sicana, and their average daily produc-
tion is about thirty barrels per we'll
He receives $1.09 per barrel for the
crude OIL and his daily revenue from
the forty-seVen wells is about 81, 500.
1t is reliably reported here that ex-
Senator Mills has merged his extensive
oil interests with those of the Standard
Oil company. He is acquiring a for
tune at a rate that will soon make him
one of the wealthiest men in the coun-
try. He says he is entirely out Of pol
