Provisions Of Treaty.
Wei Hai-Wei, March 1.-The treaty
signed on Tuesday last between Japan
and Corea provides for the latter con-
forming to japanese ideas of reform,
Japan pledging the safety of Corean
royalty and territorial independence
Japan is authorized to resist the en-
croachments of third party, and to
occupy Corean territory, if necessary
for strategic purposes. This provision
of the treaty justifies Japan's occupa-
ton of Chemulpo and Seoul, and prob
able movements northward.
The treaty is considered highly salts
factory by both parties. A Corean en-
voy, who is proceeding to Picking, dur
ing an interview Monday with Gov.
Lockhard expressed convictions that
the treaty would be of the highest
benefit to Corea, provided Russian en-
croachments were frustrated, and that
Japan would incur Corea's deepest
debt of gratitude.

What Everybody Says Must Be True.
There is lots of truth in this old
saying. When more than 1000 peo-
pie in Oskaloosa and vicinity are
praising Prof. Mayne Arnold's skill
as an eye-sight specialist, it means
much and is a certain guarantee to
the public of his ability. So many
people have charged Prof. Arnold
with having great skill the Professor
has got to believe it. In fact, after
fifty years Of immense business,
which of course gave him enormous
experience, he is prepared to pleaG
guilty and acknowledge that away
down in the cellar of his heart ne
actually thinks he knows a thing or
two about eyes.
Prof Arnold closes mis- business
here April g. But before going he
wants all of his customers to come
in and get their eyes re-examined and
wishes to give each one an oculist
formula for their eyes and glasses en-
actly the same as the great city spe-
ciatictC m a rua Of Hast Rftaar1 doIfa ~,
for. The Professor will also present
each customer with little pamphlet
which gives scientific description
of their eyes and the particular defect
from which they suffer. All this OF
course costs Prof. Arnold time and
money, but it win be entirely free to
mis- patrons, as he wishes to show
them that he is not the kind of
man to lose all interest in people af-
ter he has sold them glasses and re-
ceived their cash. Liberal boxes OF

Prepare to Defend Port Arthur.
Port Arthur, Sunday. Feb. 2S.-Gen.
Stoessel commander of the garrison
here, has issued general order direct
ing the attention of the troops and In
habitants to the fact that the japanese
intend to land and seize the fortress.
The general declares the Japanese con-
slider the seizure of Port Arthur to be
question of national honor, and from
their obstinate attacks and lombard
ments of the fortress and bays he can
only conclude that the enemy will
make every effort to capture the
fortress, failing which the Japanese
will destroy the railroad and withdraw.
The enemy, however" proceeds the
general order, lis mistaken. Our
troops know and the inhabitants are
herewith informed by me that We will
not yield. We must fight to the finish,
as l, the commandment, will never give
an order to surrender. / bring this 10
the notice of those less daring and call
on all to become convinced of the
necessity of fighting to the death.
Those who leave without fighting will
not save themselves. There is no way

FOR THREE YEARS.

Stopewall Jackson Camp re
elected Capt. Bobbitt as it:
Commander and unanimously
decided to hold its Reunion fol-
the next three years at Canyon
City.
The West Texas Cowboys
Association elected "Trus
Gray as president, ". c. Baird
as vice president and Sam LOT
ton secretary, and also agreed
to hold its Reunions in connec-
ton with the old Confederates
for the coming three years at
Canyon City.
Now. it is up to our citizens
of both town and country, to
see to il that these organiza-
tons do not regret their choice.
Preparation should now be
made, and they should be com
menced as early as possible, to
acquire the land either by lease
or purchase for the term, and
to arrange for its equipment.
One of the first steps IN this di-
rection is the selection Of new
executive committee. This, is
necessary, as a majority of the
present committee feel that
they have served as long as
they should and desire to be re.
leased. They are fairly entitled
TO this at the hands of their fel.
low citizens-having served the
traditional two terms. Under
these conditions the chairman
of the present committee will
call a mass meeting of citizens
at the court house, Saturday
evening, August -, for the pur-
pose of selecting this pew com
mittee.
The committee arranging for
this three year carnival would
fill this bill admirably. The
gentlemen were l.. Il. Lester,
Judge Henson, DR.. Howell, G..
G. Long, K. W. O'Keefe and
l.. G.. Conner. And then Trus
Gray, president of the Cow boys,
should not be overlooked.
Come out everybody and dis
cuss the situation and not only
discuss but take hold OF it and
take hold right.

show just about what each part
of the program cost. Those
under the head of general eX-
pense should also be divided
about equally between the two
parts. The whole shows a total
expense to Canyon City Of
siO70.37. The News says Can
yon City, advisedly, because not
over fifteen dollars was sub
scribed outside of the citizens
Of the town. In closing up the
account the figures may reach a
little beyond the total given
here.
By adding half of the general
expense to each of the two &C
counts it will readily be seen
that contrary to the general be
lief the cost of the cowboy part
equals that of the old soldiers
reunion.
Those interested should study
over the problem herein pre-
scented and be ready to act &C
Cordingly.

The Plains Newspapers.

Prior to the Reunion our
neighbor newspapers helped
materially ia advertising the
same and since then they have
been untiriug in the nice way
they speak of it as pronounced
success. Approaching these
sentiments, so generously eX-
pressed by our brethren of the
press, the Reunion executive
committee at recent sitting
adopted the following vote of
thanks and ordered it spread
upon the minute book:
"The Plains newspapers, all
of them, and especially the
Herald of Amarillo, and the
Brand of Hereford, have been
unusually kind toward Canyon
City, in the very liberal men
ton they have from time to
time given of our efforts to make
the past Reunion an event long
to be pleasantly remembered,
and also in the very nice things
they have said about our town
since the close of this Reunion.
Canyon City people generally,
as well as the Reunion execu-
tive committee, greatly appre-
ciate this unselish and gener
Gus consideration at the hands
of the neighboring press and
said committee in behalf of the
town and for itself hereby ex.
presses to these newspapers its
sincere thanks"

The Baptist Encampment.

All of the preliminary ar
engagements looking to the Bap-
fist revival which commences
the first of next month have
been perfected as far as loca
ton and other minor details,
and the local congregation and
others will now exert every
effort to give the prospective
meeting due publicity. AS an-
nounCed in last weeks News,
Rev. j. M. Carroll, of Waco,
will personally conduct the
meeting, with a possibility of
being able to secure Geo. W.
Truett, of Dallas. Either one
of these gentlemen is capable of
holding the undivided attention
of thousands Of people in re-
vival.
Through the magnanimity
which springs eternal from our
large hearted tOWnSman, w. r.
Bates, the committee on ar
engagements, which consisted of
Revs. j. D. Ballard and j. Il.
Burnett, j. W. st. Clair, l.. II.
Lester and W. r. Brandon, was
able to secure the best available
site and camping grounds on
Paloduro canyon. A half-sec-
ton of land, we'll. grassed and
well shaded and through which
the beautiful Paloduro creek
noiselessly wends its way is the
altogether handsome thing of
which this gentleman is the
donor, only charging a nominal

in the enclosed 800 acres. AS
camping ground this proposition
is unsurpassed aud Bro. Bates
assuredly deserves the thanks
of the townspeople.
Owing to the fact that this
encampment is to be sustained
by the Paloduro Association at
large, annually, and by no
means depends exclusively to
local support, at once places it
on firm basis of Christian and.
moral support. BY its estab-
the Baptist people of
the Plains, and others, will be
enabled each year to receive re-
ligious instruction and exhorta-
ton from the choice intellect of
the State. This encampment is
a star in Canyon City's crown.

THE REUNION.

pcningS of last week for almost
everybody was present to see
for themselves. For the benefit
however, of those of our read.
ers who were not there, the
News gives the following sum-
mary OF the proceedings includ-
ing a statement of the costs.
This last item will no doubt be
of interest to all and may serve
to some extent as guide for
future estimates.
First, this account can be
shortened considerably by say
ing that the regular program,
as published in the News, was
carried out in every particular
except that Hon. Temple Hous-
ton failed to put in his appear
ance for the promised : speech,
and the Balloon was mo 60"
The balloonist, Prof. RieSto,
claims that the maker OF his
balloon failed to construct it
properly and that he was not
aware of the defect until its ar
rival here. He certainly tried
hard enough to overcome this
defect but failed and his failure
cost him something like one
hundred dollars. He was paid
nothing at all, To offset this
balloon ascension that didn't
go, the Reunion committee ar
ranged for a tree exhibition oy
tie negro Pickett, who on Fri
day evening caught and threw
two steers with his teeth on the
roping grounds.
The speaking was unusually
good and was thoroughly en-
joyed by those who were dis,
posed to give it attention.
In the roping contest there
were seven entries. Clay Nc,
Gonigal carried off the first
prize of $50, and Claude Girls,
we'll the second of s25. There
were plenty of steers for the
occasion but no more takers.
In the "Broncho busting" the
first prize of $50 was adjudged |
the property of Charley McDade,
the second money, SO, was
given to Jim Wright. j. R.
Dendinger and ]. |. Campbell |
were judges in this contest.
And now to the expense &C
count. The old soldiers part OF .
he carnival covered the first
:wo days, the remaining two be
ng g en- over to cowboy sports
the fine stock show not being
| success this time owing to
ack OF proper attention on the
1art of the stock committee.
Therefore this expense has been
.pportioned in accordance with
he program carried out and is
approximately correct.
