ance all over her little fluffy shoulders
when she was still. Her eyes were
big and round and peculiarly blue
like twin cornflowers- there were
perpetual discs of pink in the small
oval cheeks. When Winifred laughed,
there was a transitory glimpse OF
something snow-white and deliciously

upper teeth, and an unexpected dim

mouth.
The day was hot to sultriness, the

The willows that grew quite down to

her head by its muslin ribbons. She
found tempting tuft of grass in the
shadow of giant water oak, and sat
down to eat her lunch. When she
had finished, she crossed her hands in
her lap, and sat gazing out across
the lake with suddenly tired, absent
eyes. She heard the village clock
strike two-then three-and all at

simmer and grow black before her
eyes. A horrible dizziness settled
over her, and she flung herself down

NEW CUBAN TREATY.
1t Is About Ready to Lay Before the
Senate.

Washington, April Acting under
instructions from the state department.
Edwin Morgan, American minister at
Havana. has been in conference with
the officials Of the Cuban foreign
Office for some time past with the pur-
pose of framing a new reciprocity
treaty to replace the existing conven-
ton. He has now practically COM
pleted his work, and a treaty has been
drafted that may be ready for sub
mission to the senate before the adj
journment Of the present session.
The a for the preparation of
the new treaty is that the officials here
have become convinced that America
is getting by far the worst Of the bar-
gain under the present arrangement.
While nearly all Of the exports of
Cuba come to our ports only a little
more than one-third of the imports
into Cuba are furnished by American
farmers and merchants. Europe fur
nishing practically the balance.
The Cuban government did not care
to make these concessions, but it " "a
confronted with the fact hat other
wise there would be no treaty at all
at the expiration of the present con-
vention. and with h preferential
rates of reciprocity would be impos-
sible to market Cuban sugar and other
staples in America at profitable rates,
thus threatening ruin to Cuba.

But even the s~olOists and the band are
not by any means the only attractions
st the festival. The great chorus, which
nas done more than anything else to
make Lindsborg famous as the must
cal mecca, not only of Kansas but also
Of the west, has reached a degree Of
perfection through a period Of training
under the most skillful leadership tina

It will be seen from this schedule that
there will be five renditions of the
Messiah" eleven concerts by lines
band and eight popular concerts. All of
the big railroads in Kansas, including
the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island have made
plans to run numerous special trains to
LindsbOrg from various parts of the
state throughout the week and during
the week there will be special excursion
rates to Lindsborg, whether special
trains are taken or not. One Of the first
specials to go through Topeka will be
on the Union Pacific and will leave here
at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow Sunday
morning. This train will leave Linds-
borg at the close of the concert on Sun
day evening and should reach here on
its return by four o'clock Monday
morning.
That the Messiah" at Lindsborg is
the great musical event of Kansas is a
fact which has long been recognized.
No other event has attracted to itself
from year to year ever growing au-
diences nor elected such wide com
ment. Oratorios have at times beer
creditably given in other cities of the

MOVE
Mayor Davis Would Send 1t Up

In the Interest Of Economy, He
Says.
OTHERS OPPOSE PLAN.
Superintendent Goodrich Says
Tt Should Stay.
Better Able to Handle Work in
Present Location.

To remove the city electric light
plant and consolidate it with the up
river water works station instead of
the Harrison street station is the plan
of Mayor w. H. Davis which has some
supporters among the members of the
council. 1t Is something just sprung by
the mayor. The mayor has been in
favor of removing the plant from its
present location but has always up
until now favored the Harrison street
station. He proposes now that the
plant be moved to the pumping station
west of the city.
He is against the Harrison street sta
ton in the interests Of economy. With
the consolidation effected the mayor
wants to turn the entire management

m~issioners.
That's something entirely new to
me, I never heard of it." said Frank
Newland. president of the BOARD. I
had heard of the Harrison street
proposition, but 1 had never heard of
this other and I wouldn't care to ex-
press myself until I had had more
time to think it over"
The remaining two members of the
board are opposed to the mayor sug-
gestion and believe that If a remove

H. K. Goodrich. the superintendent
of the electric light plant, thinks that
if it is simply a question of supplying
a couple hundred of additional street
lamps it would be a great deal cheaper
to leave the plant right where it is. In
a case of removal he favors Harrison
street station.

one thing and this the most ideal of all
pursuits. %Springing from the smallest
beginnings amidst an u%nfriendly en-
vironment, it has grown to become the
artistic event Of the season to which
thousands look with pleasure. To esti-
mate the number of people, who since
the first rendition has attended these
concerts, is a task out of the question,
but it Is nc e-xaggeration to say that
the number is up in the hundred thou
sands. Over ten thousand persons at
ended the concerts last year and the
indications are that more than this
number will attend his wear.
