RAINS AT PANHANDLE.
Crop Prospects Are Good Around
Carson County Towns.
.gu1.al 70 DAILY Panhandle.

SPECIAL TO Daily Panhandle.
Panhandle, Texas, June 1S,-Mon-
day afternoon a welcome rain came
from the northwest and began to fall
in a manner that called the people
to the doors and the windows and
put smile on their faces. Men,
old gray bearded men, who months
ago had placed every dollar that
could borrow in plains land, are
hopping around like young men.
And why? Because they know that
crops are almost certainty, that
wheat and oats are sure to improve
much In the next few days. This
is Tuesday afternoon and water is
yet standing on the plowed land.

Bearing garlands of fresh flowers
and with heads barred in homage,
the veterans OF the great struggle
and the younger generation which
joins in honoring them, will tomor-
row afternoon at the Llano cemetery
pay tribute to the comrades who wore
the gray and who wore the blue and
who have already gone to the last
muster call. d. b. Plemons cSmp
of United Confederate Veterans, un'
der the leadership OF Captain VIII
A. Miller, will have charge OF the
memorial services and cooperating
with the veterans will be their sons
and daughters and the citizegs of the
city.
The camp will meet tomorrow aft
ernoon at $3.50 at their room in the
court house. From there they Will
go in carriages to the cemetery where
the citizens will gather. Inside the
gates the veterans will form in order
and will march to the spot selected
for the exercises.
Rev e. B. Fincher, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church and the

Although the services are in charge
of the Confederate veterans Union
veterans are especially invited TO join
in the services and the graves OF I'm
ion veterans are TO be decorated the

It is likely that some local veteran
who wore the blue will take part In
the exercises by making a talk.
The weather promises to he ideal
and the interest already manifested
assures a most successful memorial
service.

BURIED THIS AFTERNOON.
Mrs. s. @. Tullos Who Died Saturday
at Honey Grove.
(From Mondays Daily)

(From Mondays DallyD
This afternoon from the Method
list church, Rev. c. N. n. Ferguson
conducting the funeral of Mrs.
Blanche Hill Tullos, wife of S. G.
Tullos. Mrs. Tullos died Saturday at
Honey Grove and her remains were
brought here for burial.
Two weeks ago when Mrs, Tullos
left here hurriedly to attend the
bedside OF a brother who was serious
ly i'll at her old home near Honey
Grove, she was apparently in the
best of health and expected to rejon
her husband within few weeks at
most. Shortly after her arrival at
Honey Grove, she fell victim to
case OF sVpedlcities in its most vio-
lent form. In spite of every effort
which physicians and surgeons used
to stay the disease, she grew worse
and within few hours she passed
away.
Less than a year ago Mrs. Tullos
came here as a bride and her early
and unexpected death is a terrible
shock to the young hubsand and to
her friends here. Mrs. Tullos had
visited in Amarillo before her mar
riage and had many friends here. She
met Mr.. Tullos while visiting in
Amarillo and they we're married at
her home in Honey Grove last fall.
Since then they have made their
home here,
Mrs. Tullos was 2S years old at
the time Of her death. She had been
a consistent member Of the Method
list church from girlhood and took
an active part in its work. Her
womanly worth was such as not only
to endear her to all her associates
but to make her one who will be
sorely missed from her place,

in marriage Mr.. Tullis odell Henry
and Miss Mamie Lambeth.
For the wedding the rooms OF
the residence were fittlngly decorat-
ed with flowers, foliage plants and
festoons. over the altar for the
bride and groom were suspended
two large hearts in the color scheme
of blue and white, with the words,
1.-TWO hearts that beat as one" At

atives of the contracting parties had
assembled in the parlors, Miss Gard
ner, of Sulphur Bluff, struck up the
familiar notes of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March and the bridal party en-
tered. Mr.. Cliff Henry, of Quanah,
brother of the Groom, with Miss
Lambeth, OF Cooper, and Mr.. George
Lambeth with Miss Lambeth led the
party. Then came the bride on the
arm of her brother Mr.. John NJ.
Lambeth, The groom came dn with
Mr.. Ed Spann and met his bride UNI
der the two hearts Then while the
soft strains from the piano con-
tinued, Rev Ferguson pronounced
the ceremony that made them one.
After the shower of congratula-
tions from the friends and relatives,
the bridal party enjoyed drawing
from the brides cake. Forming a
circle around the big cake, each
grasped one of the butterfly ends of
the streamers attached to the cake.
Then the bride crashed knife into
the top and the guests drew forth
at the end of their blue and white
ribbons little sacks filled with rice.
On investigation these disclosed to
the delight of the guests the ring,
the needle. the coin and the other
omens of future weddings,

(From Tuesdays Daily)
At Clarendon and in that vicinity
last night a heavy rainstorm OF I'M
usual violence fell. Washouts on the

reached here with some of the pas
sengers on the delayed trains that
the storm at Clarendon had been a
cyclone which had seriously damaged
the town. A long distance call sent
to Clarendon by the Daily Panhandle
this afternoon developed the infor-
nation that the storm did not APP
proach serious violence at any time
and that beyond the slight damage
from hail 1t was without bad effects.
The Denver track was washed out in
two places near Clarendon and the
tarlns were delayed till this morn

Rumors Of War,
(From Fridays Daily

A young cigar maker who boards
on Van Buren, street comes OF a
parentage which is expressed in Eng
Pish letters by the word Deutsch. and
he is proud OF it. "A fellow boarder
has been making practice-till
yesterday-of referring TO the young
man in connection with saur kraut,
pretzels, wiener and sundry other
more or less Teutonic delicacies.
Now the young man does not object
to the articles named but he was
panied at their being taken in vain
and the loose bandying about of the
terms, by the other boarder has been
giving rise for several days to ru-
mors of war. Yesterday evening dip
lomatic relations we're suddenly and
abruptly severed between the two
by several dull thuds from the Ger
man side OF the argument. Meager
details from the scene of action dn-
dictate that 1t took several Inter
venlng powers to restore a semb-
lance of a peace footing. CONVEX
sation is said to be on much higher
plane on that street today.

(From Fridays Dally)
Although the much needed cement
street crossings have been started
too late to be of service in many
places during the present rains, the
improvements are now being made
at rate which guarantees satisfac'
tory walks over much of the city
within a few weeks. Gross Broth
ers, the new contractors who have
charge of the work now can build
the crossings at the rate Of about
two a day unless interrupted by rain
or other causes. The new crossings
are slightly arched to follow the
grade OF the street, include a con-
crete culvert at each end and are
corrugated on top so as to provide a
safe tread
Gross Brothers now have the con-
tract for fifty of the crossings and
when these are completed will prob
ably go ahead with Others. To con-
meet all blocks that have been sup
piled with cement walks walks by
the end of the summer at least three
times the number of crossings now
under contract will be needed.

Springs Company pays dividend.
The first quarterly twenty per

Mining Company has been post
ed. The properties of the COM
pany are located in the Baxter
Springs district in the Indian
territory. A 300-ton mill has
been erected at the property and
that judicious mining invest
ments pay is proven by the fact
that the first dividend of this
company amounts to twenty per-
cent of the purchase price of the
stock. paid by the original invest
ors. AS the company expects to
pay a similar dividend regularly
each quarter, this would mean
eighty per cent dividend on the
investment each year." This is
