The old Salvation barracks which
are used for a school room are being
divided into two apartments, it having
been found necessary to put in another

Reduced railroad rates is all that is
necessary to insure a large attendance
from all parts of the State at the races.
Already dozens of horsemen have sig
nified their intention of bringing their
flyers here in order that they may
make records.
Wagons are daily passing through
town eastward bound. This does not
necessarily prove that the western
part of the State is starved out. These
men and families are simply going east
to spend the winter and will return in
the spring. Many of them are habitual
rovers who would not settle perma
nently in paradise.
We receive the first nnmber of the
Christian Citizen, the new paper de
voted to politics and religion and pub
lished by Rev. R. Wake and A. T.
Riley at Topeka. The paper is brimful
of the church news of all denomiuations
and also has some good political com
ment. The only difficulty that seems
to lie in its path is tuat it is attempt
ing to spread itself over too much
ground.
A story entitled "The Forgotten
Claim" has appeared in Frank Leslie's

Badly Scorched.
A colored w oman working at the
residence of J. M. Fisher, on South
Buckeye, "was badly burned Tuesday
afternoon by the explosion of gasoline.
The woman used gasoline instead of
coal oil in mixing her starch, and the
liquid catching fire blazed up and set
her dress in a flame. Before the fire
was extinguished she was severely
scorched, and the doctors say she
have several weeks of suffering.

Messrs. Ryno & Davidson, the ma

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
The Central Committee Hard at
W rk List of Meetings to be H Id
in the Near Fnture.
The county Republican central com
mittee has been hard at work arrang
ing meetings and engaging speakers
for the campaign. The State central
committee has promised us some good
orators and several dates have already
been set.
A list of meetings for this county has
been arranged for the coming two
weeks and is given herewith.
Local committees are expected to
make all necessary arrangements for
the occasions. Let the meetings be
thoroughly advertised, let music be
procured and see that every voter in
the neighborhood is present. Bs sure
and be present yourself. A campaign
like this occurs but once in every four
years. Let us make the most of it.
Less than six weeks remain until elec
tion and every day counts.
The following is the list of meetings:
Abilene, Tuesday. October 2l, 7:30

tor, and others.

Street Railway Change.
A large force of men is at work today
under the superintendeucy of M. M.
Shipe, changing the track from its route
on Second aud Cedar streets to Thiid.
This will save two turns in the route
and considerable grade. While there
are some objections to the change,
8UGh as taking the cars farther from
the depot and out of sight of travelers,
still it will allow better time to be
made and will improve Third street.
The changing v411 occupy several days.
Third street is fast becoming the most
important business thoroughfare of the
city and meiehunts Jogged thereon may
congratulate themselves upon this
added attraction to their part of town.
Badly Injured.
News was brought here last evening
of a serious accident which befell Geo,
Fisher, an Abilene brick-layer, at Her
ington. He was at work yesterday
morning onthe school building which is
being erected south of town. Soon
after he had begun work the scaffold
upon which he was standing gave way
and he fell to the ground, about 2q
feet. Ha fell upon his head and 8houlr
ders and when he was removed to a
neighboring house it was found that
the skull was fractured and one wrist
broken as well as other severe injuries
being upon the body. It is feared that
there are internal injuries which wjl
prove fatal,
A Good Move.
As will be seen by Mr. J. B. Case's
announcement, he has inaugurated a
new method of doing business and that
is on a cash basis. It is a move in a
right direction as in this way merchants
can turn their money faster and can
afford to sell at a less margin. There
is also a great saving in bad debts,
all of which is manifestly to the benefit
of customer? if the sales can be made
for cash,
,This method of doing business is the
only true one and we believe that all
first-class business houses will event
ually have to come to the model set
by Mr. Case who deserves consider
able praise for having taken the initia
tive in this new movement. His enter
prise in this matter is, however, no
more than should be expected of thia
public spirited merchant. In all the
years that he has been engaged in bus
iness in Abilene he has never been
known to follow anybody.
He has always taken an advanced
position, both in the quality of his
stocks and his manner of doing busi
ness. JNow with the largest amount
of goods upon his shelves that he has
eyer had, he enters utpon this new cash
plaq, one which is sure to add to his
already loug list of friends and custo
mers. A Result of the Display.
You can never make Emil Sutter
believe that a Trades Display is not a
good thing. Hereafter he will load
down his store's representative with
the purest of diamonds in order to
bring good luck. Sunday morning re
warded him for his magnificent show
at the last entertainment by adding t
his family circle bouncing l-i.poum
hoy. All are' doing well and Emi
stands several feeC higher than he did.

A Grand Prize.
Our readers will see in another col
umn II. n. Hazlett & Co.'s bis adver
tisement announcing a grand dinning
of a handsome carriage i.rxt New
Years. This firm made a sinvhir rffei
last year and the carriage was draui
by a gentlemon who held only three
tickets. Remember that you have
just as good a chance at the
carriage as anybody and a ticket
with every dollar's purchase makes
every customer a sharer in the drawing.
More than that each one will get their
full dollar's worth for II. II- Hazlet &
Co. never fail to give their customers
the best there is in the market for the
money and from their immense new
stock one can surely be -'suited" satis
factorily both as to quality and prices.
In the grocery department the prize
offer still holds good so that you can
increase your chances by all your pur
chases.
Aad Still Another.
Tlie following announcement ajpears
in the last issue of the Ban ler Regis
ter: With this issue of the Register its
publication at Banner Citv will cease,
to be resumed under a new name and
dress at Abilene.
We uuderstand that Mr. Harrington
will publish the paper hereafter as the
organ of the Union Labor party. His
temperance principles appear to be very
elastic and were probably assumed "for
revenue only." There ought to be a law
prohibiting the lemoval of dying news
papers Irom one town to another.
Abilene certainly has no use for this
latest patient, which will soon be a
corpse.
A Shooting Tournament.
The Abilene gnu club is endeavoring
to arrange for a grand shooting tourna
ment to take place during the race
meeting, Oct. 10th, 11th and 12th.
The local shootists are famous for
carrying out any plans that they under
take and we have no doubt but that
this meeting will be arranged satisfac
torily. It is necessary that reduced
rates be granted over the various rail
roads jn order that a sufficient number
of visitors may be in attendance.
These rates will no doubt be given. It
will add muc!) to the interest of the
race meeting if such a tournament can
be held, as it will attract many more
people to the city and grounds. It will
also occupy the forenoons of the dates
above given. The Reflectok hopps
che club will be successful in arranging
the meeting.
