A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
Mrs. A. f.. Turner Enteftains the
NJ. W. vi. Club in Honor of
Her Sister.

Fortunate indeed are Trinity
University and Waxahachie in secur-
ing the services of so able a man
as DR.. A. E. Turner, standing as
he does at the head and front of
education-his profession, but doubly
felicitious for us in the fact that
he and his lovely wife abound in
social graces. AS host and hostess
they cannot be excelled and happi-
ness surely awaits those who enter
their charmed presence or linger in
their hospitable home. On Thurs
day Mrs. A. E. Turner entertained
the Nj. w. NJ. Club complimentary
10 her sister, Mrs. Harry, of ILL
nois. 1t was a most beautiful ana
typical colonial affair, so perfectly
carried out were the ideas and deco
rations of that period. Patriotic de-
signs and colors were everywhere.
The hostess and her house party
gowned in Martha Washington cos
tunes, wi'h 'pa%dre eft patches, -
made the arriving guests feel that
they had stepped backward a cen
fury and a half BY the cherry trae
which adorned the center of the din
ing table, and hatchets too. we werS
reminded of the Father of our Coun-
try, whose birthday We were cele-
brating. Not even the proyerbial
"lie" was omitted. A beautiful pho
togravure of the hero being awarded
TO the guest who could tell the big
gest one In a draw with five or
six Miss Emma Davis was the for
tunate winner. After this most pleas
ant and amusing contest a four
course luncheon was served in the
dining room Misses Dunlap and
Harry served tea and chocolate from
a lovely table lighted with red tapers
and decorated with smilax, crimson
carnations and the farfamed tree
of truth" Jellied chicken, olives,
bread and butter sandwiches, tiea
with emblematic ribbons. ices in
shape and color Of national flags,
angel cake and stuffed dates were
daintily served by the house party.
And thus the moments sped, till TOO
soon the hour for parting came and
each guest mingled with her good
by the hope that Waxahachie's in
tejleeJual and social life would long
be blessed wiki the association Of Dr..
and Mrs. Turner. A GUEST.

bership there is 500. They will ar
rive in a SPECIAL train accompanied by
"a band of music, as will the Elks
of San Antonio. The latter place,
Mr.. Diehl says, is even more enthu-

that San Antonio wants the next

this will go after the presidency

surveys Of the Belgo- American COM
pany from Grin Junction TO Lander
are now being cleared OF all lncumb-
RANGES preparatory to beginning build
ing operations, When these surveys
were made last summer considerable
Indebtedness was incurred in the name
OF Ex-Governor Fennimore Chatter
ton, president OF the Wyoming Gem
trial Railroad Co., which proposed to
build the Lander road for the Belgo-
American concern This indebtedness
was confined chiefly to the wages OF the
surveyors, for supplies, etc, and there
was considerable ill-feelIng IN certain
quarters as a result OF the failure OF
the company to pay UP.
President Chatterton stood good for
the debts and promised that all should
be paid In due time, and now the money
Is being disbursed,
II Is reported that the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, which proposes
to extend It's Casper line on TO Lander,
has purchased the surveys and right
of-way privileges OF the Wyoming Cen
trail company, and VIII make use Of
them on its extension.
II Is also reported that Mr. Chatter
ton, who is now secretary Of state. will
remain as president OF the Wyoming
Central railroad, under which name the
extension from Casper 20 Lander and
Thermopolis win be built and operated,
although the Chicago & Northwestern
win be behind and will finance the new
road.
This viii be good news to the many
friends of Secretary OF State Chatter
ton who can now be rewarded for sup
porting him for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation last spring
The new road will be completed in
side of fourteen months, and Mr., Chat
terton then may take active charge Of
its management.

UTE INDIANS CONFER
WITH INDIAN COMMISSION,
lsneclnl 10 tha oNews.NN

Washington, ID. c.. March lS.-Com-
missioner Leupp had conference this
morning with the delegation OF Ute
Indians who are IN Washington for the
purpose Of clearing up many disputed
questions growing out OF the opening
OF the Ulntah reservation TO home
stead settlement
The Indians, under Capt, Hail. were
carly At the commissioners Office and
went direct to the subject which
brought them to see the great father,
The various chiefs made long talks to
the commissioner through an interpre-
ter The White river Utes who are
uncompromising IN their opposition TO
opening the reservation, said the
lands were given the Ute ma
ton for ever and TO deprive them
Of these broad acres at this time
Is breaking faith on the part of the
government Commissioner Leupp In
replying 10 the complaints, which Utes
made regarding the opening of the RESI-
eryation TO white settlement and their
aCceptances OF allotments, called atten-
ton 10 the decision OF the supreme
court which held that the United States
owned this land embraced IN the uln-
tab reservation and had an absolute
right to dispose OF It, Mr. Leupp went
further than the bold proposition OF
the supreme court and said II was not
the intention Of the government TO ask
the Indians 10 withdraw without COM
pensation, that, on the contrary, " the
Indians felt the allotments they had Sc
lected could be improved upon they
were at liberty TO make new selections
but that captIous objections would not
be tolerated He said the great father
wanted to deal sQuarely with the In
dians, but they must not stand In the
way Of the progress and development OF
the mighty west, In the matter OF
opening the reservation Mr. Leupp said
It was the policy Of the administration
10 give every man. woman and child n
large tract Of land which they might
hold forever,
There were cultural gruuts at some
Of the commissioners eXpositions
Sometimes the Indians looked pleased
at other times they frowned, but the
way In which the commissioner met
them made favorable impression.
After the conference the delegation
under the direction of Capt. Hall, went
to the White House TO see the president
The Indians were introduced by Conn
missioner Leupp The president said
the reservation would be opened as soon
as allotments could be made and urged
the Indians TO take their allotments
and become part Of the great scheme
of civilization. Those In the party are

River Utes Charley Mac, Joe Duncan
and David Copperneld, Uintahs, and

GETTING READY
FOR WOOL SEASON

Already has shearing commenced In
Nevada and Idaho and the local rail-
road agents are making preparations
to send extra men into the field TO Sc
cure this business. In this connection
w. j, Rid, formerly travelling pas
senger agent for the Rio Grande West
ern, has been secured by the Santa Fe,
while +, II. Worsley OF that line will
transfer his allegiance to the Colorado
Midland under General Agent Harding.
In viewing the wool situation L, T..
Downing, who incidentally knows more
about wool conditions In the west than
he does about cutting corners In his red
auto--and he cuts them distinctly fine
this morning said;
Early shearing has been going on
for several days in Nevada, especially
at Lovalocks Ryepatch, Golconda and
Battle Mountain The operations now
under way embrace about two-thlrds
OF the clip in Nevada. or 100000 head.
This Is mostly all fine wool and Is con-
tracted for at from rs to l6 cents,
Around Boise Ida, this week they
are shearing one or two bands OF scab-
by sheep, but In Idaho general shear
ing will not commence until about April
/. In southern Utah shearlng viii be-
gin along between the 5th and the 10th
of April.
Mr., Downing also affirmed that from
between so and so per cent OF the en-
tire clip OF territory wools' had been
contracted for, while when Il came to
medium or lighter woods throughout
the entire west the probabilities were
that from IS per cent TO So per cent
OF the clip had been disposed OF while
IL still remained on the Sleeps back.
