The opening OF this new line to Ell

history of the Great Rock Island
Route as well as in the development
OF the great southwest territory of
the United States.
Primarily the completion of this
new line to FL Paso heralds the oper-
alton of the Short Line Route be-

Rock Island road will be installed.
An entirely new supply of chair cars,

straight line from Liberal in the
southwest corner Of Kansas to Ell
Past,, Texas, through the White Oaks
country. The scenery along the route
Is beautiful and the resources of The
country through which the line passes
are all that could be desired. The
climate of the country is extremely

The order is addressed to thevarious
Indian agents throughout the country,
and Directs them to induce the male
Indians under their charge to cut their
hair, using force only when necessary.
He says that It will require consid-
cradle tact and perseverance to carry

Indians until they comply, and the dis
charge OF those who are employed by
the government unless they appear

The order also prohibits Indians of
both sexes from painting their faces

called Indian feasts, and directs the
agents to encourage the Indians in
adopting citizens clothing instead of
the Indian costume and blanket. The
agents are also directed to report to

THE ENGLISH KINGS WINE.
New Labels Have Been Made for the
store sf Each of Edwards
Palaces

One result Of the accession of Ed
yard VII. to tho throne of England,
which should be of interest to con-
noisseurs of wine, is that it has be-
come necessary to prepare new labels
for the kings wine, one for each
palace. Tho nsw labels bear the royal
crown, the initials "E. RI and the
name OF the palace as "Windsor cas-
tie" These will be placed on all
the wine purchased for the future,
bat the old labels on the wine laid
down in the last reign will not be
disturbed, for they are an interest
ing testimony of age, says London
paper.
The late queen had two labels, the
enc with "V. R." on it she used
throughout the early part of her
reign and the one with ''V. R. l." was
made after the royal titles act. Wine
which bears the former label must
have been in the royal cellars for
over 90 years. Similarly the wine in
the cellars at Marlborough house is
all marked with a label bearing the
prince of Wales feathers, the initials
"P. W." and the name Marlborough
house" This will not be disturbed,
and in view of future contingencies
no new label will be introduced. An
other popularity of the royal cellars
which is worth noticing is the fact
that the bottles of champagne bear
no label but the royal label. This is
due to the fact that the wine is
brought in hogsheads from the man
ufacturer and bottled in the royal
cellars
