It will seem strange to have the irre
pressible Simon Rothschild desert the
location which he has so long occupied
at the corner of Eroadway and Third.
He intends however, to remove to
more commodious quarters about the

at his stock; it is going fast.

Harvest, in this section of the stste,
will soon be upon us. Two or three
weeks will see the harvesters and mow

izing this, and the call for machines is
almost unprecedented. The favorites
seem to be the D. M. Osborne mower
and binder, winch is handled by Dun

out to all portions of centra' Kansas
daily. They have four men busily en

machines for purchasers.
Those who contemplate purchasing
binders or mowers should look at this
favorite make before giving an order.

Ringing' Resolutions.
The Abilene G. A. R. post held a
meeting Monday evening. Ar
rangements for the observance of Mem
orial day were made and routine busi
ness transacted.
Among ether doings of interest was
the adoption of the following stirring
resolutious condemnatory of the action
of the recent election of Joseph John
ston as honorary member of the Phila
delphia Post:
Resolutions adopted by Abilene Post,
Xo. 63, G. A. R., May 14th, 1SSS:
Whereas. It has been reported and pener
allv published that one, Joseph E. Johnston, a
leader and movinp spirit in the late Southern
Confederacy, has been admitted an honorary
meiuberof a Pennsylvania Post, to-vrit, h.
D. IlakerPostof Philadelphia G. A. K.; and
Whereas, The G. A. R. rules and reputa
tions make no provisions for such members,
the preat and requisite test being that of con
tinued and untlinching- loyalty to Hag and
country "into our ranks no man upon whom
the stain of treason rests can ever come,"
now, therefore, be it
Kesolved, By Abilene Post, Xo. 63. G. A. It.,
that it is a disgrace to our organization, a
wounding cause to comrades Uvingand a want
of patriotic respect and honor to the memory
of our comrades dead, to tolerate, give sanc
tion to, or sustain in anyway the act of said
Pennsylvania Post in its wanton disregard of
the sacred aud binding obligations of our or
der to admit into its ranks a rebel general
who sought to disrupt the Union; and be it
further
ltesolved. That a proper procedure should
be instituted by the proper powers in our or
der against the said Pennsylvania Post, to
compel the same to reject said member, or
surrender its charter as a Post of the G. A.
It.: and be it further.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of this Post, that they be
published and a copy of publication be sentto
our Commander-in-chief, John P. Rea.
David Mattesox, Post Commander.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETIN3.
The Sepuhlican Club Listens to a
Sousing' Speech.
Everj- seat was filled and large num
bers were compelled to put up with
'standing room only.- iu .Smith's hall
Tuesday night at the Republican rally.
The large audience, made upof the Re
publican club and numbers of repre
sentative citizens, had gathered to hear
a thorough discussion of the political
questions of the day and it was not dis
appointed.
The Gazette baud was in attendance
and rendered several pieces of music
iu their well-known faultless style.
After the music, the president of the
Republican club. C. C. Bitting, Jr., in
troduced in fitting words the speaker
of the evening, General J. C. Caldwell,
of Topeka.
In opening, the General spoke of the
change which had been made in the
'great American desert" in the past
twenty years, of how Kansas had be
come, instead of a howling wilderness,
a glorious State, alive with the hum of
industry. But a class of people growl;
they see only the glories of the past,
the beauties of the distance; they pres
age failure and are despondent over
the Xatioifs fate. The speaker elo
quently showed how America today
was the richest Xation on the globe,
though youngest in yeais. Referring
to our wealth, the speaker said, '"After
twenty-live years of Republican rule,
the only criticism that can be found is
that we are too rich; if anything will
throw a Democrat into spasms, it is an
oveillowing treasury." Briefly he con
trasted the condition of the country in
I860 with that of 1884 to show the ac
c mplishmeuts of the Republican lease
of power. Speaking of past systems of
government, he drew the conclusion
that the Xation which sins against it
toilers must die. He then contrasted
the condition of our laboring classes
and farmers with those of other Na
tions and other times, showing the
prosperity, comfort and enjoyment of
today's workers in America. The sav
ings banks" record was given, showing
tiie millions deposited by the working
class: s. In a brilliant peroration, he
urged the young men of today t- stand
linn by the party which 1 as n auV pos
sible a Lincoln, a Grant, a Garfield.
The address throughout was a clear,
comprehensive argument in favor ot
the protective, fostering principles of
Republicanism, which have made the
East and will make the Ve--i wl
alive with the hum of manufacture
and rich with prosperity.
The speaker was given the closest at
tention to the end of his address and
was every moment interrupted by ap
plause. Before adjournment, Col. Dingee
moved a vote of thanks, which was
given with a will. The assembly then
dispersed.

ABILENE.
(With apologies to Lucian Wood.)
Abilene! Abilene! Qneen of the prairie land:
Abilene, city of fairest renown!
Sovereign of reaches that stretch to the won
derland. Where the red sun in his glory goes down!
Abilene! gaily the robins arc singing it.
Hid in the bosoms of apple and pear,
Abilene! Abilene! Loudly they're ringing it.
Filling with music the rhyme-laden air.
Sweetest of names to the ear of the stranger.
Sweet to the dweller in Abilene town.
Where have you heard, be you dweller or ran
ger. Aught that is sweet as this musical noun?
Sweet were the word, tho'
we know not its
meaning:
Balm to the spirit, and rest to the brain:
Sweet, were it heard by the shores of Loch
Lomond;
Sweet, were it uttered by Spaniard or Dane.
Haply you've heard it by Passamaquoddy,
W here the rough breakers eternally roar;
Haply you've heard it mid bowers of roses.
By Atchafalaya, at Ballymagore.
Hear it inorange grove, hear it in blizzard:
Hear it where blankets are not in demand;
Hear it in Fargo, with ice in your gizzard;
Hear it in Jeddo, where things are japanned;
Still it is sweet to the ear of the stranger.
Sweet to the tourist from Abilene town:
Abilene! Sweet to the cowboy and granger!
Sweetest of words is this musical noun.
The best binder in the market is the
all steel Deering. Shockey & Snider.
