WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.

Paraguay is rich in local color. The

serving strange phases of human life.
BY nature these people are patient and

According to one of the government

In former experiments, where the
velocity did not exceed 1,500 or 1,600
feet second, the projectile recorded
its time by knocking down series of
steel triggers projecting into the bore.

ENGLISH TITLES.
Why Inferior Honors Are Sometimes
Refused by Commoners.


Although 1t costs money to be made
peer. no sum can actually buy a
British title, as may be done in some
European countries. Honors of this
description are in the giving of the
king, or, rather his majesty bestows
them on persons ut the recommenda-
tion of the prime minister who really
has the final say in the matter Titles
are conferred either directly or indi-
rectly - directly when no third per-
son recommends candidate for royal
recognition and indirectly when a
third person brings candidates name
forward, he having good and valid
grounds for doing so. The former
method. however, is the one which is
usually adopted. 1t is the duty of the
prime minister to distinguish name
celebrated in politics, science, art or
literature and to decide whether the
merits of any given prominent person
deserve recognition at the hands of
the king.
IT, in the opinion of the prime min
lister, such given person deserves ele-
vation to titled rank before the minis
ter takes any steps in the matter the
favored individual is apprised of the
prime minister's intentions by a per-
sonal letter in which is conveyed the
degree or title it is proposed to confer
on him, subject to his approval. In
four out of five cases the approval is
given. The fifth person, who may
have been offered knighthood OF
perchance baronetcy, refuses be.
cause his refusal may increase his
chances of obtaining at a later day
a higher title still-a peerage. Armed
with the PERSONS approval, the prime
minister now takes the next step-that
is, obtaining his majesty's sanction
which is rarely refused.
1t is seldom that a plain "Mr" bios

LINING UP ON
PARCELS POST
REPRESENTATIVE HERE OF BIG
WORKING AGAINST POPULAR
MEASURE.

A representative of one of the big
Bluffs, Iowa, is in the city today for
the purpose of inducing the business
men to join in a petition to Congress
man-elect Poinjexter to work against
the measure. There are a number of
the local business men in the city
who have added their names to the
petition without giving the matter
proper consideration. The matter has
been under discussion for the past
several years and it is likely that the
parcels post measure will be embod-
led in a congressional bill at the next
session.
Deed Magyar, editor of the Leaven-
worth Echo, and one of the greatest
students of economic affairs in the
country, while in the city today, after
hearing that an effort was being
made to have Mr.. Poindexter commit
ted against the bill expressed himself
on the question as follows:
81 favor the passage by congress
of the parcels post law as recommend
ed by Postmaster General Meyer.
Its adoption is opposed to but one
interest-that of the express COM
panies. 1t will work no harm to the
local stores, and will prove of inesti-
mable benefit to rural residents. Do
not be deceived by the bogy that the
parcels post will kill the small store
keeper and divert the trade to the
large department stores. This is the
argument of the express companies,
who have succeeded in getting local
store keepers to take up their cry.
The postmaster general recommend
ed that the parcel weight be limited
to eleven pounds, and the distance
from point of origin to point of deliv-
cry be not over twenty miles, thus
cutting out purchasing from the large
catalog houses and burdening the
mails with long hauls."

BAD
DAY FOR COYOTES
THE BIG DRIVE STARTS AT DAY.
LIGHT AND THERE WILL BE
TROUBLE ALL DAY FOR coy
OTES AND RABBITS.

Local interest is still centering on
the big coyote and rabbit drive which
starts next Monday morning at day
light. The committee having this
matter in charge had hoped to make
next Monday a holiday in this city.
1t was desired to make it possible
for as many business men and clerks
in the city to participate in the drive
as possible. The Southside people
had planned to petition the business
men to close up Monday, but nothing
has been done in this regard, and it
is not known whether or not the
business houses will close voluntar-
lily, or whether they will wait for the
petition.
Inquiries still continue to come in
from the outside, and the local COM
mittee is figuring on some 1000 peo-
pie being in line.
1t is the plan to leave here about
daylight Monday morning, going
from here direct to the bridge, where
those desiring to participate will be
assigned places by A. P. Kiser, of
Southside, who is familiar with the
lay of the land Most of those going
on the hunt will hoof it as it is
thought that saddle horses will be in
the road, though there is no regu-
lation against using horses. The
following rules have been adopted
by the committee:
No. 1.-The drive will start at day
light, Monday morning, Nov. 9, and
finish the same day.
No. 2.-Shot guns will be allowed,
shot not to be larger than BIB.
No. 3.-No member of drive will be
allowed to shoot any kind of game
birds
No. 4.-No persons are allowed to
participate in final slaughter unless
they are on line of drive by a. m.
No. 5.-The line of drive will be
divided into squads in charge of lieu
tenants appointed by the committee.
The selection of we'll known lieu
tenants makes it possible to conduct
the drive along military rules, and
thus obviate all danger of accident.

PLANNING AN
0RONDO DITCH
w. II. PROWELL AND FRED HOFF-
MAN TO BUILD DITCH WHICH
WILL WATER 1000 ACRES AT
ORONDO.

A meeting of Orondo land owners
will be held tonight to consider a
proposition made them by w. r.
Prowell and Fred Hoffman of this
city, pertaining to the watering of
1000 to 1900 acres of land adjacent
to Orondo.
The proposition in brief is that the
land owners of that places shall make
arrangements for power, from some
of the companies that are now de-
veloping power After the electricity
has been secured, Messrs Prowell and
Hoffman will install the pumping
plant, dig the bitches and have the
water on the land by the middle of
next June. The cost of putting the
water on the land is to be $40 per
acre, that is exclusive of the cost of
the power which the land owners will
have to arrange for with the COM
pany.
The proposition has been freely
discussed by the residents of OrondO
and the terms are all satisfactory.
The meeting tonight is simply to
ratify the action formally. The pro-
moters of the new ditch have made
arrangements that in case the land
owners are not able to buy the water
right to the land outright that the
land can be mortgaged and the pay
ments made when convenient.
The plant for the new system is to
be installed by the Prowell Engineer
ing company, and, if nothing pre-
vents, it is planned to do consider
able work on the ditch yet this fall.
Orondo is gazing considerable fame
as a fruit district The area, how
ever, has been limited owing to the
inability to secure water other than
through pumping system, which
in itself is expensive. The new pro-
moters have the capital themselves to
finance this proposition and it means
the dawning of a new area for the
residents of Orondo.
