TO COLLECT AN EXHIBIT.
Worlds Fair Commission to Make a
Tour Of the State.

The Kansas commission to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at st.
Louis met today at lola for the pur'
pose Of visiting a number OF manu-
featuring towns in the southeastern
portion Of the state to collect an ex-
hibit of the raw and manufactured
mineral products Of Kansas and to
excite interest in the exposition. 1t
is the intention Of the commission to
visit all the large industries in the
state and induce them to make cred
liable displays. The board believes
that Kansas can surprise the country
at large with an exhibit Of her manu-
features, as this state is generally
considered solely as an agricultural
region. Abilene has invited the COM
mission to come here.

CECIL RHODES FUNERAL.
The Dead Body Of tho Great African FRO
pnoter Consigned to u Rock Tomb
on the MatOppOs HIlls,

Buuwayo, Matabeleland, April H.
Amid an immense throng Df soldiers,
civilians and natives the body of Cecil
Rhodes was yesterday committed to
It's rock tomb in the Matoppos hills
The coffin was shrouded in q union
lack and the wreath sent by Queen
Alexandria was laid upon 1t as 1t was
lowered into the grave. The funeral
party started from Fuller's hotel
early yesterday morning. The pro-
cession was five miles long as IT
wound through the hills and gorges.
Every sort of conveyance was made
use Of. Some were on foot, others
were on horseback or on bicycles,
while still others were in wagons and
carriages.
When the procession was mile
from the grave everybody dismonnt-
ed and concluded the journey on foot.
Twelve oxen hauled the coffin to the
almost inaccessible summit OF the
kopie, where the Chiefs Shembll,
Faki and Umgula and 1000 natives
had assembled to witness the Chris
tian interment rites, which they
afterward supplemented in their own
fashion by the sacrifice of 10 oxen
to the shade OF the great dead chief
Thousands Of white persons con-
gregated around the wind-swept hill
The grave was encircled by six
powders. The interment was ex'
tremely Impressive. The Dead
March, echoed through the hills and
the natives stood like statues. Tears
were in the eyes of many OF the on
lockers. The bishop of Newfoundland
who conducted the interment service
said: 81 consecrate this place for
ever. Here he thought, here he lived
and died for the empire" When the
coffin was lowered into the tomb CHS

Praises Abilene Musicians.

The Wichita Eagle Monday in the
course Of a long and complimentary
notice OF T. E. Dewey's lecture last
week says: "In illustrating Shelley's
music Mrs. Young sang beautifully,
The Worlds Wanderers and The
Indian Serenade. She also sang very
sweetly Mother and Child and the
duet was rendered with feeling. Mr..
Dewey was particularly fortunate in
the selection Of his singers. Mrs.
Young of Abilene, who has sung for
him often, has a beautiful voice, per-
feet facial expression, and gives the
peculiarly desired Interpretation.
Miss Dewey seems to be all music.
She accompanied all the illustrations,
as we'll as the duet, % That We Two
Were Maying, that was sung in open
ing. So unobtrusive was the piano
that 1t was almost lost sight Of. On
leaving the hall many were heard to
express their intention Of again tax.

st. Louis, April 1l.--Eighteen hun
dred employees of the shickle, Har-
rison e. Howard Iron company, in
East st. Louis, are idle as the result
of n shutdown of the works yester-
day. The company announced that
the works had been closed for re-
pairs and that the men would be no.

There was once a little girl who
found it very hard to wash her hands
just before dinner. She meant to be
clean for the table. but there was so
many things to think OF that it was
impossible to remember. Her mother
reproved her very severely one day.
and she promised to do better. That
day at dinner her mother asked the
usual question. Have you washed
your hands, dear"
Yes" came the satisfied reply.
Her mother looked smiIingly down at
the little ones hands, and hen she ut
tered an exclamation. for there was
no sign that soap or water had bee
used on them. why. your hands are

When II garden first becomes n joyful
possibility. most people turn at once to
the thought of roses. Now, roses have
no place in landscape gardening. As a
rule they do not belong in the front
y5rd. This may sound shocking and
heretical. but 1t Is true ut least so far
as the common double Powered roses
in the flower garden. and the place for
the flower garden is in the rear or off
at II side by itself. Roses have too
many insect enemies. Their foliage is
always being destroyed. For the ordl
nary person it is not worth while to
spray them.
Probably half the plants of all kinds
sold IN America 10y mrserymen are
roses. Everybody loves roses. but in
practice 40 one takes good care of them
except the rose specialist. Personally I
prefer peonies to roses for my garden.
