fine TURN OUT AT
ST. PATRICK DANCE

The ST.. Patrick, dance given
under the auspices of the Circle
Band Boys here last Wednesday
evening was decided success,
with the exception of. one thing,
the boys had made arrangements
for a 3-piecea orchestra but, the
Clarlonet player who was missing
was taken sick so could not come
and another player could not be
obtained in time. However the
music rendered by Messrs. Stuart
and Swanson was just fine and all
seemed to have a splendid time.
Considering the almost impas-
sable condition of the roads at the
time it was a surprisingly large
turnout, some coming all the way
from Paxton, Deer creek, Watkins
and the Nelson creek country, a
distance of over 30miles for some
of them.
This, hall had been nicely decor
ated, and credit for the neat and
attractive manner in which same
was done is due the honorable
president of the Circle Band, Mr..
j. K. Lowell, and D. j. Hull, Jr.
who assisted him.
The total receipts for the even
ing were $57 which nets the boys
about $25 in the treasury.

CIRCLE WATER WORKS

Above is the title of new cor
poration which is being organized
at this place.
The question of a good well and
fire protection here has been
taken up several times by the
local business men and at last it
was decided that only way to do
things was to organize corpora
ton. and sell stock in same
amongst the business men for the
purpose of getting a good town
well and fire protection. M. A.
Thoreson started the ball a-rolling
and soon had thousand dollars
subscribed which will be the cap
ital stock of the corporation to
start with.
The plan is to dig an Artesian
well so as to get water, fit to use,
for the whole town and also for
fire protection. If successful in
getting water it will be piped
along main street a distance of
about 8 blocks.
A meeting of the stockholders
will be held tomorrow for purpose
of passing on articles of incorpor-
alton and make arrangements to
start work Immediately.

A special meeting of the Com
mercial Club was held at the Of
flee of C. R. Miller last Wednes.
day afternoon.
Among other things taken up
one of most Importance was the
question of putting in grave

and finally committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Messrs.
Rorvik, Thoreson and Irving to
take charge of same. They are to
solicit donations from the business
men to pay for it and to receive
bids for the work. A very good
move.
Another thing of Importance
taken up was the starting of a
local telephone organization. A
committee consisting of C. R.
Miller, F. S. Kalberg and o. j.
Thompson was appointed to look
into the matter more throughly as
to cost and ETC., and report at
next meeting.
A vote was taken on the appli-
cation of c. r. Miller to become a
new member of the club and was
unanimously accepted. J.L. Bax-
ter having presented his resigna-
ton as member same was granted.
Next meeting will be March 31st.

MAY Be ABOLISHED
Governors Veto Endangers Oil
Inspection Office.
Test Case to Follow Death of
Travis OverfieId Measure?

Governor Capper late Monday even
ing exercised his first veto when he
refused to sign the Travis-Overfield
bill reducing the oil inspection fees
from ten cents to three cents a bar
rel. In a special message attached
to the bill, the governor stated that
the reduction in fees was too great
Had the legislature contented itself
with merely cutting the fees in two,
it is claimed the governor would have
signed the bill.
AS passed, however, the bill meant
the taking away from the state of
nearly $4,000 year. Under the
present system, the oil inspection fees
yield a profit to the state of from
$4,000 to $4,000 above all expenses.
1t was on the claim that the state was
illegally operating the oil inspection
department for profit that change in
the existing law was asked.
With the bill vetoed by the govern
or, it is probable that a test case will
be filed to abolish the present oil in
spector's office. The office is now
hold by Frank Cumiskey, a Democrat.
Should the office be abolished by
court order, Cumiskey would lose his
job-but this would not prevent the
next legislature from establishing
the office and establishing a new fee
system.

Well Known Railway Man, For
mer TOpekan, Dies i'm Maine.
Began Career in This City as
Santa Fe Office Boy.

North Wayne, Me, March O.
Hiram R. Nickerson, a well known
former railroad president. died here

AN ARMY IN CUBA
Reorganization of American
Island Fighters in Process.
Fall Regiments Equipped in
Regular Army Style.

Havana, March 9.-The long studied
plan for the reorganization of the Gu
ban army, by which it's efficiency viii
be increased. is now going into opera
ton. The most important feature is
the extinction, as separate corps, of
the famous rural guard. This corps
was organized as a mounted constab-
ulary force by Colonel Hubert Slocum
of the United States army and based
on the fine body of men known as
the guardia civil of the days of the
Spanish domination.
The ruraIes will be merged in the
cavalry of the regular army, which
will be composed of six full regiments,
armed and equipped on the model of
the United States cavalry. of which
five regiments will be assigned to ser
vice rural constabulary and one 20
regular military duty, to be stationed
in all probability at Havana
The number of infantry regiments
will be reduced from two to one, to
be stationed in garrison at Camp Co
lumbia. The artillery will consist of
one regiment. including batteries Of
field and mountain guns and a corps
of coast defence artillery which will
also be trained as infantry. The ma
chine gun force which has hitherto
been a separate organization, will be
divided into squads to be attached to
the various cavalry and infantry units
in accordance with modern practice.
There will also be a general staff and
The whole force will aggregate
somewhat more than ten thousand
men of all arms and the president, for
the first time, becomes the command
er-in-chief of the forces on land and
sea. Major-General Mendieta will be
the immediate commander of the
army and under him Brigadier Gen
eral AvaIos, for many years COM
mander of the rural guard and gener-
ally esteemed by American officers
who have served here as the best SOL
der in Cuba. Plans are also in con-
temptation for the formation of a re-
serve force, and reorganization of the
navy.
The placing of the national forces
on a strong footing meets with the
general approval of Cubans. Some
fears were entertained that in event
of the United States being drawn into
the European conflict Cuba might
not be able to hold aloof and that an
attempt might be made by some Ell
ropean power to violate her neutral
ity. For the same reason interest is
reviving in the long protracted nego-
tiations for the cession to the United
States of certain lands in the vicinity
of Guantanamo Bay which are sup
posed to be essential to the effective
fOrtificatiOn of the naval station.

lODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, March 9.-WHEAT-Bullish
views of the government report farm
reserves brought about a rush of buying
today in the wheat market here and carried
prices sharply higher According to one
authority the Washington figures on re-
serves showed that the present rate Of ex-
port shipments from the United States
would be reduced more than half for the
period from now till July 1. There were
no early signs today, however, of any
lessening of foreign demand. The opening,
which ranged from sc to 2s4c higher, fol-
lowed by a decided further advance, and
then a moderate reaction.
Later the down turn became good deal
more emphatic owing to eastern selling
here, but the market rallied quickly when
shorts attempting to cover found the mar
ket bare of offers. The close was firm
at 12c to 5Ac net advance.
CORN-Corn developed some firmness
owing to the strength of wheat. Price
changes, however, We're narrow, and trade
almost entirely local. after opening a shade
to A@3sc up, the market receded but only
to a slight. extent.
Slowness of seaboard called afterward
to rather pronounced weakness for while.
The close was unsettled, 1sc to 14@3sc I'M
der last night.
OATS-Oats responded to reports of in
tended big shipments from New York; be-
sides country offerings small.
OV1S1ONS-ProvisionS eased off with
hogs. Selling though was scattered.
