BUSINESS AT PosToFFIcE
PASSES EXPECTATIONS.

From April 1, 1905, to April I. 1906,
the total receipts of the post Office of
Roswell reached a total of $14 ,S24.99,
a sum that is not surpassed by many
post offices of the entire Southwest,
and of which the town has reason to
feel proud since it shows the busi-
ness strength of the community. But
this year the amount viii reach a sum
far in advance of last years total. It
was hoped and expected that the to-
tai this year would be $4,000 and
now, month before the expiration of
the fiscal year, the sixteen thousand
dollar mark has been reached and
passed. 1t is safe to say that the

To Trx "EviI Eve, Murderer.

Chicago, March Herman Billek,
the Bohemian hypnotist and fortune
teller, whose countrymen believe that
he possesses an "evil eye'' will short
ly be placed on trial here on a charge
of numbering six members of the ia
mily of Martin VrZal. a Bohemian da-
iryman. 1t is alleged that Billek pois-
oned the Vrzal family in order to Sc
cure their life insurance, aggregating
$4,000. Through his hypnotic infiu-
ence over Mrs. Vrzal the fortune tel
ler is believed to have been enabled
to accomplish his murderous designs.
The evidence against MIN is very
strong and his conviction is apparent

CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUB-
Lies MAY BE SPANKED

Washington, Mar. Mexico and
the United States are using their
kindly Offices in an attempt to effect
settlement of the trouble which
threatens to involve all five of the
Central American republics in war
American Ambassador Creel had a
long conference with Secretary Root
today, and the minister of Nicarau-
qua and the minister of Costa Rica
also called at the State Department,
but there were no late advices, and
none would even comment upon the
situation toda. The impression Is
general in diplomatic circles that
Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rfca
are about to throw their support to
Honduras in an attempt to crush Nj
caraugua and to humble President
Seelaya. 1t may be stated authorita-
lively tnat there is no thought of in
tervention upon the part of the Unit
ed States, and Mexico is believed to
be unwilling to intervene
