MESA
PoSTOFFIcE CHANGE.
lt Will Be Moved Two Doors East of
 Present Location.

On account of a robbery some time ago the present location not furnishing ample mail protection. the post office will be changed this morning into the Lang building. two doors east of the old place of business. The Lang build ing has been occupied by a bicycle store and the lease does not expire un- til the first of April. but after that time the entire building will be used exclusively by the post office Until the bicycle store is moved out the gen eral delivery window will be placed mp near the front of the building and the boxes placed along the side in about the same arrangement as has previously been. with the exception that the bicycle stock will be to the rear and alongside the triangular cab inet making the post office proper.
 While the fact was not generally known Mesa was on the verge of a miniature post office location wrangle. As is well known IL means considerable to any business to be near the place where every one goes at least once a day to get their mail. There has been plans on foot to move the office sev- eral doors east as well as several doors west. However. the new location is a splendid compromise and no one can feel that there has been advantage taken or that the location is not the best in town for all concerned.

BABBITT WILL TAKE OFFICE.
If the New Trial of His Case Goes
 Against Him He Will Appeal.

Don c. Babbltt of this place. who was declared elected county treasurer at the last election and was later decided by contest not to be elected, will take his position in office at the regular time and will be assisted by his deputy George Mcdonald whom he has recent ly appointed. AS is well known Bab- bitt has been granted a new trial which has been set for Jan. 2. When seen last night at his place of busi- ness in regard to an appeal in case he is defeated at the new trial. Mir. Bab- bitt said: "I am positive that the re- count will change the vote but 1t is impossible to say whether l shall gain or lose by it. I am certain. however, that I stand a chance to win. As to taking an appeal to the supreme court in case I lose. I cannot tell. That will all depend upon conditions. If I think that I have grounds to win by taking an appeal I shall certainly do so but if find that have been beaten fairly and squarely. then will retire as gracefully from the fight as possible. !"

ANOTHER OIL EXPERT
 ON HE MURPHY FIELD
L. D. Libbey Says It Presents all the Characteristics of the Great Oil Areas in Kansas.

The publication of the oil story in yesterday mornings Republican needed no further verification for the writer had been very careful to ascertain the facts before saying anything. not all of them perhaps, for nobody can find out all about somebody else's business, but all that was said was well sub stantiated. w. D. Fulwiler, who has had the management of the exploration project involving the Murphy well. was seen yesterday and asked what he had 10 say concerning The Republican, s story. He replied that while some of his associates had counseled further secrecy, Dreierring to wait until an oil basin had actually been tapped, none of them could afford in justice to their enterprise, to deny the truth that had been given publicity and all the facts stated in the article were unquestion- ably true.
 He was then asked if he would not disclose the identi. / of the gentlemen associated with him, that is the gentle men forming the so-called syndicate, for their managing or executive com mittee was already known to a great many DtOplt. ne Ftpilcu ne saw no reason for refusing that information as they are all well known Phoenix business men, and furthermore. in view of the fact that MT. Alspaugh, a winter visitor, had given his opinion lr the matter which had been published, he would not object to making public similar testimony of another oil expert, who was equally as dlsinterested and perhaps equally as we'll equipped to judge conservatively. That man, he said. Is L. D. Libbey of Hutchinson. Kansas, and his conclusions were ar rived at without knowledge of or con- sultation with Mir. Aispaugh.
 MT. Libbey came here about a year ago and bought a little orange orchard northeast of the city. on which he has moved the family of his father. and a short time ago he was here again on a visit to them. Mir Fulwiler had learned in the meantime that Mir. Lib- bey was interested in oil properties in Kansas and made it a point to get ac- quainted with him. It has been the desire of the syndicate not to fool It. self at any point in the work and that both himself and his associates might having the advantage of a disinterested opinion concerning their project. he. took MT sI4ibbey to the well and the. nearby hills. His comments were so flat-' tering Mir. Fulwiler asked him to place them briefly in writing. that his ae-, sociates might know the facts as Re had been told them verbally. MT, Lib- bey kindly consented and this Is the letter he wrote 10 Mfr. Fulwiler:

PASTOREIA.
Spanish Play Put on at the Mesa
 Opera House Last Night.

Pastorela was presented Saturday night at the opera house by a home talent caste from Tempe. The play wa. in Spanish, but on account of no ad- vertising the audience was not as large as it should have been. The costumes were in keeping with the Castillian idea and showed up we'll under the glare of the foOtlights.
 It might be added that the writer who unfortunately does not know the difference between a Spanish soliloquy and the Grecian band, could hardly ap- preciate the delicate cllmaxes which seemed to appear now and then throughout the play.

BLOUSE OR SHIRT WAIST 5491.
 The shirt waist that is made in dou- ble breasted style is an exceedingly useful garment Made with the skirt to match it becomes well adapted to street wear during the between-sea sons time while made of linen. heavy cotton or flannel wasting it makes an admirable separate waist throughout the entire year. This one includes the chemisette that is always so dainty and is made with box plaits at the shoul- ders that give the fashionable broad effect to the figure. In the illustration Alice blue French flannel is stitched with belding silk and closes with handsome buttons while the chemisette is of linen, but this last can always be of the material if better liked, although unquestionably the washable shield is distinct advantage and allows of re- newal as often as may be liked.
 The waist is made with fronts and back. The back is laid in tucks that give double box plaited effect and the fronts in one box plait each. there be- ing pointed straps applied over these boz plaits for a portion of their length. A Tuxedo collar finishes the neck and the full sleeves are tucked at their low CT edges where they are finished with roll-over cuffs. The shield is separate and closed at the back.
 The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4A yards 21. 4 yards 27. or 2A yards A inches wide with F yard any width for the shield if contrasting material is used.
 The pattern 5491 is cut in sizes for a 32. 34. 36. 3S. 40 and 42 inch bust measure.
