CUTS at Florence.
 Florence. Feb. 3.-(Special. John Harris, John Ingram and Henderson Beasloy. the three negroes who were arrested last Saturday on a charge of highway robbery. were given their pre- liminary trial this morning before H. D. Smith. A number of witnesses were summoned by the prisoners to prove an aIibi but after the six witnesses for the State had been examined the case against them was so strong that the case was submitted without a witness being put on the stand by the defense and without argument.
 Esouire Smith refused to consider the subject of bail in any sum less than $5. 900 each. as highway robbery is a hanging offense in this State. Two negroes are now under sentence to hang in Birmingham for the same 3f- fense and 1t is thought that 1t will go hard with the defendants in this case.
 On last Friday night Harris, Ingram and Beasley knocked down an old ne. gro named Coleman Houston. took his jug of wniskey and went through his pockets on one of the principal streets of Florence,

University President to Bring His VIII
 Power Into Play.


 Chicago, Feb. 24.-The Journal today says: President William R. Harper of the University of Chicago Is said to have made a determination that in his case the X-ray treatment will be given the fullest and most complete test 1t has ever been put to as a cure for cancer and a destroyer of the can cerous growth in the tissues.

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of .
 Healthy Woman Cannot Be Oyerestimated.

6even-eighths of the anen in this world marry . woman because she is seautiful in their eyes because she has the quail sies which inspire admira- tion, respect and love.
 There is a beauty in health which is more at tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de- stroyed.
 Whata disappointment. then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before 8 year passes over her head ! A sickly, half dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband.
 The cost of . wife's con- stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of A

Awarded Contract

Yesterday afternoon the bids re-
celved by the county commissioners
Tor the completion of the state road
in the Plateau valley We're opened
and discussed, and it was decided to
award the contract to o. C. Pitts.
well known ranchman of the Pla-
teau country.
The bids were opened in the pres.
ence of the county commissioners
and Deputy State Engineer Wells.
who arrived in the city yesterday
There were three bids-one from C.
c. Hoppel, one from S. J. Higgins
and one from o. c. Pitts, all residents
of the Plateau valley. Mr. Pitts of
fered to do the work for $1,000. The
amount of each of the other two bids
was not much larger than that of Mr..
Pitts.
The contract was not closed YES
terday, but probably will be within
a day or two.
The state road in question runs
from DeBeque to Collbran. The road
had been completed and is in fine
repair from DeBeque to the head of
Hores Thief canon. From there TO
DeBeque the road is passable. but
is in very bad condition. II was i'm
possible to complete the road clear
to Collbran under the first appropri-
alton, and the work was therefore
stopped at the head of the canon.
During the last Legislature Senator
Horace T. DeLong succeeded in get
ting a bill through appropriating So
500 for the completion of this road
The bill provided that the chairman
Of the board of county commission
ers, the governor of the state and the
state engineer should award the con
tract
If Mr.. Pitts bid is accepted, the
state will not have to pay out the full
appropriation made for the work.
Many efforts have been made to
have this road completed and the cit
izens OF the Plateau valley are great
ly indebted to Senator DeIong Tor
his success in getting the apprcpria-
ton made. With the road completed
travel will be made much easier. The
state road is perhaps the most i'm
portant thoroughfare in that section
of the county.
The work of repairing and com
pleting the road will start at once.

Thirty-five ladies were entertained
yesterday afternoon from o'clock
until $50 o'clock by Miss Laura B.
Sawyer, in a manner that was both
brilliant and charming. at her home
ON the corner of Fifth street and Ou-
ray avenue.
The parlors were prettily and taste
fully decorated. The flowers used in
the decorations were corn flowers,
both white and lavender. cut roses of
several handsome varieties and many
potted plants. In every room there
was a profusion of these lovely flow
ers and the arrangement was strili-
ing and delightful, bringing out many
lovely effects.
Card tables were placed through
out the parlors and in coy noolls
on the large veranda. Progressive
finch was played during the early
hours of the entertainment As us
ual this very popular game proved
most exciting. The first prize in the
card contest was won by Miss Ella
Torrance. the favor being a beauti-
full hand-painted salad bowl. Mrs.
T. NJ. Todd was awarded the second
favor, pretty china plate.
Following the finch game, dainty
little envelopes containing conun-
drums with their answers were
passed to the guests at the card ta-
blcs, and each guest tested the guess
ing ability of the other ladies' at the
table by propounding these conun-
drums. The amusement created by
this feature was immense.
Shortly after o'clock the guests
were seated at the luncheon tables.
The menu was temptingly delicious,
elaborate and elegantly served-a
luncheon perfect in every appoint
ment. The ices were served by Ba-
con G Spaulding. The cream was
made in two colors. and on each brick
of cream was formed the letter IS. -
The table decorations were most ex-
quisite.
Those who assisted Miss Sawyer i'll
serving were Mrs. Carlyle Gatewood,
Mrs. Charles Clark, Mrs. Josephine
Pearce and Mrs. Walter Walker.
Miss Sawyer is an admirable host |
ess. Her entertainment yesterday
afternoon was one of the brightest
of the many bright afternoon enter
tainments that have been given in
the city during the early summer. 1t
was an occasion of the greatest joy
for the ladies present.
