The Fire Laddies Take Possession of
Their Hew Quarters in the City
HalL
The Fire Department met Friday
in full force in their new rooms in the
just completed city hall. Hose Com
panies Xos. 1 and 2, and the Hook and
Ladder Company were present and
looked their prettiest in order to be in
keeping with their handsome apart
ments.
The meeting was called to order by
Chief W. L. Allison, who stated its ob
ject,to consider the invitation to go to
KansasCity and to inspect the new head
quarters. After giving the invitation
of the Volunteer Firemen's Associa
tion it was discussed by several mem
bers. It was not thought best to act
upon it definitely at that meeting and,
on motion, it was laid on the table un
til the next regular meeting, early in
September.
Councilmen n. G. Fisher and A. S.
Davidson were present and made a
few remarks, tendering the boys the
use of the hall, etc. The remarks were
briefly responded to.
The firemen can well be proud of
their new room. It is large, well
lighted and handsomely furnished.
The four sliding doors on Broadway
give the fullest acd easiest possible

and her recognition of their services
should Le farther shown by fitting up
for the boys a reading-room in their
new headquarters where those who
wish can spend the long winter evenings

An Abilene Firm Hakes One of the
Largest Land Deals in Kansas this
Year.
The Berry & Prendergast Land Co.
Wednesday closed one of the largest
land sales ever made in this city or
county. The gentlemen, as has been
known, about six years ago purchased
nearly 250,000 acres of land lying in
Ottawa county, northeast of Minneap
olis. The land was in a wild state
when they bought it, but they have
fenced it, opened springs, put farmers
upon part of it, and generally improved
it so as to make the tract a valuable
estate. Eastern capitalists have been
recently looking at the land and a syn
dicate composed of opulent real estate
men of St. Louis, Chicago and Alton,
Ills., purchased ten sections of the
property, sill but two lying in one body.
For this tract, all fenced and somewhat
improved, they paid the neat sum of
$80,000 cash.
The hew owners will stock part of
their ranche and will divide the re
mainder up into farms, thus adding
greatly to north Ottawa's wealth.
We congratulate Messrs. Berry &
Prendergast upon their large sale and
the handsome sum of money they must
have netted.
The Commercial Travelers Protect
ive Association, of the United States,
has a membership of over sixceen
thousand and is probably the strongest
association of the kind in the world.
Mr. John li. Stone, their Xat'l Sec'v
and Treas., 79 Dearborn St. Chicago",
in a letter states that he has been se
verely troubled at times, for the past
twenty years, with cramp and bilious
colic which would compel him to take
to his bpd from three to six days
while in St. Louis at their last annual
meeting he procured a bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Kemedy and has since used it with the
best results. It is the only remedy he
ever found that effected a rapid and
complete cure. Xo one can safelj
travel without it. Sold by Barnes &
Xorthcraft.
The managers of the
association are endeavoring
special trains to run over the Santa Fe
during the Hope meeting, Sept. 4-7. If
the company is wise, it will grant the
request as many will be deprived of
going by the inconvenient times at
which trains now run.
St. Joseph's college for young ladies
will open for the fall term on October
1st. The inside work on the building
is nearly completed and the structure
will be fitted for occupancy at that
time. The location is a most healthy
one and this fact taken in connection
with the excellent course of study and
good instructors should win for it a
large patronage.
As will be seen by the advertise
ment in this issue, S. K. Strother and
F. T. Strother will, in about a jinonth,
start in Abilene a Democratic weekly
paper. The Democrats of Dickinson
county need a good organ and we be
lieve they will get it under such num
ber one newspaper men as the gentle
tlemen who propose to undertake this
venture.
The annual State examination for
teachers for State certificates will be
held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, August 27 to 31
inclusive. The examinations will be
held by the State board of education
at the following places: Topeka, In
the State capitol building; Lawrence,
in the university building; Manhattan,
in the Agricultural college building;
Emporia, in th9 normal school building.
The examination will consist of both
written and oral exercises.
F. M. Whitlaw can show on Iris farm
three miles east of the city some of the
finest corn that the Kansas sun evdr
beamed upon. Not only are the stalks
strong and. vigorous but the ears are
immense in' size" and well-filled. The
varieties used are Landreth's Mam-
' moth Chester 90-day and Adams'
White Early 60-day. Mr. W.'s success
in this season proves that if our farmers
would take more care in selecting seed
-' and in cultivation, they will be all
J "right.
Practice vs. Theory.
During several days of last week one
of our distinguished Democrats was
busily engaged in soliciting aid for the
establishment of a pottery in Abilene.
Fie talked loud and long and enthusi
astically in favor of the project. He
besieged the merchant, the banker, the
lawyer, the farmer, the editor, the me
chanic, the laboring man, the minister,
the doctor, and to all produced many
and cogent reasons why it was to the
interest of every one of them to render
substantial aid toward encouraging
this manufacturing industry to locate
in Abilene. By his unanswerable logic
this Democrat induced the good people
of Abilene to give solid assistance to
this enterprise, and we all hope that
thereby the pottery may be established
in our midst. We know that what
little we give toward encouraging such
enterprises will be returned to us four
fold. But the sequel of our story is yet to
come. On Saturday that same loud
talking Democrat was on our streets
again, not for the purpose of aiding and
encouraging manufacturing industries
to locate in Abilene, but for the more
audable purpose of talking politics.
He was just as enthusiastic as when
bagging for the pottery, but his argu
ments were all against aiding and as
sisting home industries. Every cent
imposed upon the people to encourage
home industries was a "robber tariff."
.bveiy cent paiu to am or assise in
building up the woolen industries, the
cotton industries, the iron industries,
the pottery industries, was so much
bread taken from the mouths of the
people. In all his talk this free-trade
Democrat never once alluded to the
benefits to be derived by the people of
Abilene from having a pottery located
in our midst. In practice, a free-trader
has some business sense, and believes
in going down in his pockets to aid
home industries; in theory, he is abso
lutely idiotic.
The Gazette Bern oval.
During the last two or three weeks a.
scheme to establish a morning daily
paper for Salina has been placed before
the business men. The plan was to
unite the Abilene Gazette with the Sa
line County Journal and make a Eepub
lican paper. It was plain from the
first that Eepublicans felt the necessity
of doing something and for that reason
we were inclined to believe that the
scheme would go through. The Herald
has not fought it because it can only
be determined by experience whether
or not Salina will support two daily
papers. Having been in position to
know of the support for a daily paper
in Salina, we are loth to believe that
the move is a good one or advisable at
this time. However, this has nothing
to do with the case, it is generally un
derstood today that the paper is a cer
tainty and that all arrangements for
rts removal from Abrlene wrii he per-
iected tonrght. For the Herald we
can say that it is a much better paper
than the city has supported or warrant
ed and we hope by a lively competition
with a good morning paper to get a
better support for the future than in
the past. LSaiinaHerald, Saturday. .

Obituary.
Mrs. Richardson, wife of Col. John
C. Eichardson, a prominent citizen of
Carthage, Mo., d5ed yesterday morning
at about half past ten o'clock, at the
residence of her son-in-law Mr. John
C. Lyeth on Buckeye avenue. She
was in her sixty-eighth year.
As the family wished to bury her at
their old home, funeral seieices, con
ducted by Eev. F M. Torch, assisted
by Rev. S. O. Humphrey, were held at
their residence last evening at 8 o'clock
and at half past nine they left over the
Santa Fe for Carthage, Mo. The Arion
Quartette, whose singing the deceased
had enjoyed so much duringher illness,
conducted the song service which was
most beautiful and impressive.
Mrs. Richardson's death was a sad
one, she having stopped off on her way
home to visit her daughter, Mrs. J. C.
Lyeth. During the past winter, at
tended by her faithful and loving grand
daughter, she had lived at Tucson,
Arizona, hoping that the climate would
benefit her health. But not finding re
lief there she was on her way home
when the desire to see her daughter in
her Abilene home caused her to alter
her plans. Exactly three months from
the day she came to Abilene she left itJ
for her brighter and happier home
above.
For a period of a few days after her
arrival here she enjoyed comparatively
good health, after which she took her
bed, never to arise. During her final
illness she suffered untold physical
agony, but she bore it with the forti
tude and patience of a true christian.
Xever a murmur of complaint escaped
her but with a hopefulness that encour
aged even her physician she cheered
those who waited on and loved her.
Yestsrday morning, surrounded by her
family and free from pain, she peace
fully and calmly entered her final rest.
Scarcely had the church bells ceased
pealing forth their joyful summons
when her spirit taking up the glad re
frain joined that happy chorus above
in their service of love about the throne
of her Master. It was the joyful ter
mination of a busy and eventful life,
and as a true disciple of Christ she has
gone to enjoy the reward of the faith
ful faithful to her husband, faithful
to her children, faithful to her God.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all

When these are clogged and choked

In Brief, and to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American
people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.

health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a-bottle.
