GROUNDS NOT STATED.
Count CastelIane Appeals From Di.
vorce Decision.


Paris, Feb. 1.-THE rumor that
Count Boni de Castellane had appealed
from the decision of the courts last
November granting divorce to his
wife, who was Miss Anna Gould of
New York, is confirmed. The period
under the French procedure in which
such appeal can be made expires Feb.
Ia and the notice of appeal entered in
behalf of the count prevents the de-
cree from becoming definite on that
date, thereby keeping alive Count
Boni's hope of reaching an agree
ment until the appeal is finally de-
cided. The notice does not state the
grounds of the appeal and probably
several months will elapse before the
matter comes up before the courts.

Dakota points. Orders for two 500
pound sacks were filled during the

FIRST CASE TRIED.
Decisions VIII BE Sought Against
Delinquent Santa Zee Subscribers.


Delinquent Santa Fee Subscribers.
In the justice court Monday the
first case against delinquent sub
scribers to the santa Fe shop fund
came for trial The citizens com
mittee, represented by stone & Zim.
norman, presented suit against S. p.
Mckinney for the S66,5O yet re-
naming unpaid on his subscription Of
500 to the fund, Hall & Freder-
icks represented the defendant
The allegation Of the plaintiffs
that the defendant signed a note for
the amount of 500 and that the note
is binding upon him regardless Of
the fact that 1t was in the form Of
subscription list Examination of
witnesses and the production OF tes-
tlmony on various points took up the
greater part Of the afternoon. When
the case was given to the jury that
body after some dellberatlon report
ed that 1t would be unable to reach
decision and was accordingly dis
charged, The case will probably be
tried again within a few days.
The number OF subscribers who
failed to pay the amounts they sub
scrlbed is comparatively small and
aside from one large subscription
which is in dispute the amount OF
the outstanding subscriptions is
small The committee is instituting
proceedings against all the delin-
quents on the ground that the sub
scrption was promissory note
When the list was drawn up in the
first place, the committee had that
point in view and endeavored 10
make the terms such that It would
constitute a binding obligation on
the part Of all subscribers. The
suits now instituted will make test
cases in the matter.

ANOTHER BIG
BUSINESS BLOCK
(From Thursdays Daily)

Another building which will add
greatly to the appearance Of Polk
street will be one which will prac-
tically replace the present building
where the Amarillo Bank G. Trust
Co. and the l., o. Thompson drug
store are located Detail work on
the plans for the building are now
being completed in the office of the
architects, d. p. Kaufman g. Sons,
and the owner Of the property Mr..
Chanselor, expects 10 get the work
done during the summer and fall.
The walls Of the present building
are of stone laid rubble-fashion in
the most haphazard way. The wall
on Fourth street has been yeneered
with pressed brick but the interior
walls are OF decidedly inferior
quality. The front is OF hewn stone
and cut glass but the builders en-
croached on the street to such an
extent that the city authorities might
justly make trouble for the owner at
any time they see fit.
The building contemplated plans
the complete reconstruction OF the
present walls so that the finished
building will be a new structure
throughout so far as the exterior Is
concerned. The front will be taken
out entirely and will be replaced
with a handsome two story front for
the new building. The north wall
will be practically rebuilt and made
to conform with the body material
of the new building. The Polk street
'front.' on the firts floor will be solid
plate glass with mirrored columns
and with an invisible enterance to
the second floor The body material
will be of gray grant buff brick with
with second floor windows surmount-
ed by terra Gotta caps, and with a
terra Gotta cornce crown piece and
name tablet,
The Fourth street side OF the
building will conform to the general
design. The building covers the en-
tire 6Ox14O of the lots and runs
back about twenty feet further than
the present building. On the first
floor back of the Amarillo Bank and
Trust company will be three office
openings on Fourth street, and a
store room 26x40 on the alley corner
Under this part will be a basement
2Ox4O for steam heating plant for
the entire building.
The second floor will be reached
by enterances from Polk and Fourth
streets On the street sides of the
building are fifteen sets Of offices
of two rooms each and so arranged !
that they may be arranged in suits
to suit the tenants. Down the mid
die of the floor will be wide cor
ridor furnishing ample light and ven
tilaton and and opening from this
and also from the light hall on the
south side will be eight other offices.
The south will of the building will |
be built up solid and light and venti-
lation will be secured by wide hall
on that side.

upon three points, (1) Should ANA
rillo be made a common point, CD
Are the class rates from Kansas City
too high, CD Are the class rates
from ST, Louis too high? AAfter q
statement OF the common point"
system In vogue In the making OF
rates over Texas as far west as Big
Springs on the Texas a. Pacific and
as far northwest as Quanah on the
Fort Worth & Denver, and also Of
the burnt district" in Texas which
gets even a lower rate than common
points. the commission admits that
the intricacies OF the rate schedules
present so many apparent lnconsist-
encies that deductions on that basis
are at present not conclusive,
Location Warrants Lower Rates.
On the basis OF distance and loca-
ton, however the commission ex-
presses itself definitely and as a mat
ter OF fact the decisions were based
on specific examples independent OF
common point classifications. "The
distance from Kansas City to Anna
rillo," the report goes on to say, us
somewhat less than the average dis
lance TO this burnt district" which
includes Big Springs, San Angelo and
Quanah. It was said by the defend
ants upon the hearing that the cost
OF transportation to Amarillo was
greater than to the towns in the
burnt district" but this is not clear.
For more than half the distance the
route is over the same iron. From
the point Of division by the Santa
Fe II was formerly true that the line
to Amarillo was in somewhat infe-
rior conditions and handled consid-
erably less business than to Fort
Worth. At present that system is re
building this road to Amarillo for
the purpose OF making 1t part OF
its main transcontinental line by way
OF the Belen cutoff, When that
route is open, as 1t will be in the
very near future, Amarillo will be
situated upon the main line OF the
Santa Fe and there is no reason to
suppose that by that route that cost
OF transportation will be gerater to
Amarillo than to Fort Worth.
Kansas Rates Should Be Lower.
I'm our opinion the same recog-
milton of proximity which has given
the lower rate to Fort Worth and
other towns in the burnt district"
should give to Amarillo rate no
higher than is applied at these sta
tons. The present class rates from
Kansas City to Amarillo are very
high upon every consideration and
in our judgment ought not to exceed
for the various classes the following
amounts in cents per 100 pounds

After dropping Tuesdays game TO
Plainyiew the local Athletes present
ed one Of the strongest line ups of

have been held to one run, a clean
homer over left field fence by Dug.
gan" Stone, But this would have
been enough the way Gallegos was
going along
Mike Hollanders work at short
stop was a large and elegant feature
of the contest. Mr.. Holander made
several plays which were on the sem
sational order. They varied from
going over back OF second base and
taking an apparently safe hit, to
leaping into the air and pulling down
a line drive. McMahan also played
a skillful game and hit hard while
Stones work behind the bat was
equally as good as Mahan's and Hoi-
lander's, His catch of Craddock's at
tempted bunt In the fourth was a
great piece Of fielding and he was
roundly applauded for his work. Dan
Gallegos turned in enough pretty
plays to keep the audience cheering,
Mr.. Gallegos was a holy show.
He allowed two hits and not a white
sock got as far as third base. Gal
legos famed nine, including Hoot
Piland, who led the North Texas
league in hitting, When the white
hosed visitors found that they could
not hit him they tried the waiting
game and endeavored to carry him
along in the hope that he would get
nervous and issue few passes, but
Mr.. Gallegos refused TO be carried.
Just as Mr., Bond or some other
equally skillful athelete would be
waiting for walk to the first sack,
he would be awakened by Umpire
Freese's voice yelling, Three strikes,
yer out, batter up"
When his jumps would declare that
Gallegos had zroke the last one right
across the center OF the plate, the
athelete would gnash his teeth and
declare the ball was nearer third
base than the pan.
The score.
