CONTRACT FOR OIL.
n'he Waters-Pierce Company to Sup
 ply Kansas City Southern.

Beaumont Special to Galveston News.
 Stuart R. Knott, President of the Kansas City Southern, returned here tonight from Port Arthur. where he spent the day in conference with an off, licer of the Watersl Pierce Oil Com pany. It is learned here tonight that President Knott has practically closed a contract with Waters-Pieree Oil Company whereby the Kansas City Southern win purchase fuel oil of the Waters-Pierce Company for use on the railroad. The price agreed upon is 20 cents a barrel, or such price less than that at which the oil may be sold by other responsible producers.
 This verifies the story that the Wa ters- Pierce Oil Company will enter this field as a distributor, and the terms of ssae contract between Mir. Knott and Mfr. Pierce specifies that the Waters Pierce Oil Company is to use no dis crimination between the producers. but ehall purchase alike from all. On what ground the Waters-Pierce Company expects to purchase the oil can not be learned, further than that they expect to get in the fuel oil market. So far as known. the concern has no wells here, and all the other companies which now have or expect for certain to have oil to sell, are preparing to market the oil themselves it would seem that the Waters-Pierce Company either have worne sort of an understanding with the producers or they expect to purchase khe oil from the producer at the mar ket value. The Guffey Company will, If course, continue to market oil. be- eause their equipment Is such that they are almost forced to keep their oil on khe market.

NEW STREET RAILWAY
COL. B. L. HOLT AND OTHERS
 ARE PROMOTERS.
Privilege to Traverse a Number of Streets of Montgomery-Persons Interested Say They
 Mean Business.

An ordinance was introduced into the City Council last night by Col. Barrie l.. Holt and associates, asking for the right of way and privileges over cer- tain streets of Montgomery for the op- eration and maintenance of a street railway, which was referred to the Committee on Franchises and Privi- leges.
 The streets upon which the privileges are asked are Lee, Montgomery Court Square, Dexter Avenue. South Perry, Washington. South Lawrence. Jeff Davis Avenue. High Ripley. Monroe. North Decatur, Pollard, North Bain- bridge, Catoma, Bibb. Goldthwaite, Mobile. Day and Grady, upon some of which streets there are now no street railways.
 The company means business and if the privileges and franchises asked for are granted they claim they will go to work at vnce to lay tracks and to fit up a line. All the necessary safe- guards are contained in the ordinance and it can be no speculating scheme, as it is forbidden in the rights granted by the city.

 "The speaker beautifully told of the charm of femininity of woman and Of the steps she he'd taken in rising to be the companion rather than slave Of man, as she was in pagan times. Her influence. he said, was greatest in the family circle. As mother, wife ana sister, she was queen and in the adapt ation of her talents and graces to the fulfillment of her duties in these re- spects she was greatest and most beau tiful. She would be queen of the household. She would be queen of her husband, the queen of her brother and the queen of her children. She should study the art of arts for women. name ly, the making of comfortable 1nd peaceful home. He argued that all the learning she might acquire were use less to her If she did not learn the art. in which she alone may become pro- ficient. of home making. A home should be a haven. It should be place of rest. It should have about it always the atmosphere of peace.
 Speaking to the young men, the speaker told them that work alone would bring success. Bunyan wrote .Pilgrim's Progress while a prisoner in jail, and Robert Burns penned tm- mortal poetry on deal table after 6o- ing a hard days work behind q horse and blow in a small Scotch farm. The man. he says who grumbles be- cause some one else has achieved Il at which he thinks should have come to him, is generally man who mas not worked as patiently as the man who has achieved.
 "The speaker then closed with an elo- quent tribute to woman, and the fair graduates warmly applauded him as he sat down."

BOARD FIXES TAX RATE
IT HAS BEEN INCREAS1D TO
 FIVE MILLS.
County Commissioners Appropriate $50 a Month to Infirmary-The Board of Equalization Be-
 gins Its Work.

At a regular meeting of the Board of Revenue yesterday the county tax rate for the current year was fixed at s mills on the s1o0. The rate last yea was mills on the s1o0. but on account of the recent financial trouble of the county, it was agreed some time ago that the rate this year would be raised one mill.
 The Beard also levied license tax of 50-10o per cent on all licenses levied by the State, so far as the county can collect the same.
 MT. D. S. Housinan appeared before the Board and stated that he ana Colonel Charles P. Jones had been ap- pointed a committee by the ladies of the Infirmary Association to address the Board of Revenue and ask for ai appropriation to assist to reopen and maintain the lnfirmary until the new Infirmary Is built. The Board decided to appropriate $50 per month for this cause.
 After the Board had transacted its business the Board of Equalization went into annual session. This Board is composed of the members of the Board of Revenue and Messre Leopold Strauss, James Mcintyre and James Gallagher, who represent the city. The Board will remain in session about two weeks examining the books of the county tax assessor.
 MT. George H. Halls, County Tax Collector has cited the Montgomery Street Railway to pay for two years escaped taxes of I per cent on its gross income estimated at s65.000 per annum. This assessment was made under the law which existed prior to the year 1896. In that year the legislature re- pealed the former law by passing new revenue bill which omitted a levy against the income of similar corpora tions. This law was afterwards de- clared unconstitutional.
 Auditor W. s. White ordered MT. Halls to collect this tax from the Street Car Company for the years 1S97-9s, acting on the belief that the law which existed prior to the enactment of the law which was declared unconstitution- al was valid. The matter has since been pending and 1t Is for these two years that the County Tax Collector is trying to collect. The new revenue law of the last legislature again repeals the former law.
 The Street Car Company declare they do not legally owe the money alleging that the law under which 1t was levied was unconstitutional and out of date. The matter was argued and the Board of Equalization sub- mitted the affair to the County Attor- ney for a decision.
