Much Speculation as to Who

since the war began. for the field of
possibilities so far as the royal houses
OF Great Britain and Russia are con-

Thoughts Of marriage between the

passed her eighteenth birthday in
April last. The three younger BROTH
ers range from fifteen to ten years of
age SO their brides need not cause their
royal parents any concern yet awhile.
The choice OF the next queen OF
Great Britain is OF such importance
that even this great war can not OBJ
scure the popular interest In the Sc
lection Of wife for the Prince of
Wales. and 1t is recalled that while he

the Princess OF Teck when he was %

Old as the prince is now. The excep-
tionally late age at which King George
was married may in part have been
due to the fact that the heir to the
throne. the Duke OF Clarence. did not
die until 1892, and his brother, the
present king. was married the next
year.

Two women supplied with drugs

piled with money and handsomely

the taxi by the day so they would not

did not know his fares were drug

The police say that II is quite usual
for women Of prominence on drug

SAY EXTRA SESSION
WILL Be NECESSARY

Washington, Feb. 23.-Although
the president has abandoned the plan
OF calling an extra session of con-
gress this spring Democratic as well
as Republican leaders are predicting
that the recess which will begin
March 4 will not last longer than six
months.
The prediction is that the president
must call an extra session Of the Six
%ty-fourth congress before Sept. 10,
not to consider the ship purchase bill
or any other of the presidents legis-
lative pets, but to devise ways and
means for increasing the government
revenues.
The deficit in the treasury is in
creasing at the rate of 81, 700, 900
every three days. The war tax has
not plugged the hole through which
Uncle Sans bank account Is running
out. Ii served to retard the rate, that
is all.
The deficit Is now 500, 900, 900 for
the current fiscal year. BY June 80
this will increase to $3.50, 900, 900 at
its present rate OF growth. The col.
lection of the income and corporation
taxes In June will cut this down $40,-
000, 900 to $4,000, 900.
The president either can call an
extra session of congress in the late
summer or early fall to tinker with
the revenues or he can issue bonds.

supply of cattle arrived for the open
ing day this week, some 1870 cars or
5000 head. as against 1876 a week

As has been the case for some time
the big end of the run was i'm killing
grades. Trade continued to show a
healthy tone and prices on both
steers and she stuff were maintained
on a firm basis as compared with the
close of last week, values showing
the strength that developed last
week.
Steady release was had for stock
ers and feeders. Supply at hand was
moderate and while buyers were in
clined to bear down on the palmer
varieties the general price list re-
NAMED unchanged as compared with
the finish of the week.
Sellers continued to hold the adj
vantage in the hog deal. Floods in
various sections served to curtail the
movement ~marketward and news
from all outside points was of a bull
ish nature. Locally the deal worked
out on a 5 a. Toe higher than the best
time Saturday. Tops were elevated
to $6.65, while the long string OF
sales was at $685..
A fair delegation of ovine stock
arrived at this point. Conditions
were favorable to sellers and rates
were about a dime higher on all
classes.

Here they were confronted with a
new difficulty. None Of their men had
been allowed to know of the presence

to inform them now would be dan

1t seemed unwise merely to drop II
by the wayside. as II might escape
notice, and no good would be done.

and the condition made that the white

How to do this occupied their minds

to take refuge In a native hut.

that they had no time for anything but
