initimation that such marriage was
contemplated erroneously developed in
court circles into premature announce
ment Of the betrothal as an accom-

MONOPOLY NOT FEARED
Geological Survey Bulletin on concen-
traitor of Cement Interests Does
Not Anticipate Permanently High
Prices, Even Tho Fifteen of Seventy
eight Companies in Country Did
Produce Two-Thirds of American
Portland Output.

Washington, Oct 8.-A bulletin is-
sued by the geological survey on Con
centration of Cement interests de-
clares that Setting aside as impracti-
/ cable the question Of trusts and COM
binations, based on a monopoly of raw
materials, it can be said that there is
noticeable contraction of interests in
the cement industry, and that this
probably will become more marked
year by year Eighty eight plants in
existence in 1905 are owned by sew
enty- eight companies. Several of these
nominally dependent companies are
closely connected by ownership"
"Owing to the nature of the cement
industry 1t is improbable that by a
combination or non-competitive ar
rangement 1t can be carried to such
a point as to result in a monopoly of
the industry and permanently hign
prices
Good raw materials are so widely
distributed in the United States that
there is hardly county which could not
produce Portland cement if prices were
forced high enough. The only limita-
ton now on the erection of cement
plants is the fact that the great cost
makes the venture prohibitive for In
dividual or for small firms.
"Of the seventy eight companies,
fifteen produced over two-thirds Of the
entire American Portland cement out
put. Seven Of these showed an 'Tinual
output of over 100000 barrels each,
and these seven together. produced
somewhat over half the entire output
Of the country"

Havana. Oct. s.-Reports received by
the provisional government show that
the pacification Of Cuba is practically
complete, with the exception of the
provinces of Santa Clara, where mat
ters are rapidly nearing settlement.
The only trouble known to exist is at
Alquizar, province of Havana, where
the liberals and moderates are about
equally divided, and irritation has been
caused by the reinstatement of the
liberal mayor.
The disquieting condition at Alquizar
has been caused by the exuberance
of the reckless disbanded insurgents

guards there will be able to keep peace.

TEN HEAD OF HORSES STOLEN.
Theft Means the Loss of $1,000 to a
Firm in Barber County.

Ten head of horses were stolen
from the Walker ranch on Turkey
creek about the first of the present
month The horses were the property
Of Fl. G. Walker, L. T. Walker and
George r. Walker. When they were
first missed, the Walker brothers
thought they had strayed away. They
searched all the pastures and ranches
In western Barber and as far as
Greensburg and Coldwater in Kiowa
and Comanche counties and in their
search they got information that con-
WINGED them that the horses were
stolen. They were seen driven once in
l<iowa county ana once in western
Barber.
Two rewards are offered: 500 for
information leading to the return of all
the animals. or SO for each animal re-
covered, and $50 for the arrest and
conviction of the thief.
Horse stealing and cattle stealing has
been increasing In southern Kansas
and northern Oklahoma in recent years
and every lawabiding citizen owes 1t to
himself and the public to exercise the
greatest vigilance to stamp it out. The
Walker horses we're good ones and the
loss, If they fail to find them, will be
close to $1,000.-Barber County Index

EXPRESS CONfPANY's SIDE.
Admit They Received Whisky c. 0. D..
But Say Consignee Was Bona Eide.

Fort Scott. Kan. Nov. 28.-The suits
filed last week against the employees of
the Adams and Pacific express COM
panies have not been disposed Of in po-
lice court However, they were contin-
ued till December 7. The companies
through their attorneys have filed bill
in which they practically admit every
thing charged by the city. They admit
that the whisky was sent here c. o. D.,
but that its consignee was bona fde
and on this they base their defense
They deny that the liquor was sent
here to fictitious parties and later sub
let to anyone.
The company has issued a statement
in which it is alleged to have said that
no more whisky would be received by
its agents to be sent to prohibited
points They lay the claim that not
long since they We're mandamused in
the United States supreme court by
whisky men who sought to compel them
to receive their goods. The case has
excited much curiosity and its outcome
means much to this phase of the war
against selling liquor. The city con-
tends that when the whisky is express
ed here to any and everybody and the
collections made here the transaction is
equal to a sale without license, and
will make this fight when the cases are
called. All the men have given bonds.
