Abilene and are loyal to Itt upbuild
ing. ssssssa
This will be a great year (or the
advancement of this city. Take hold
and puah.
Republicans who are Republicans
from prlnolple will support the Re
publican city ticket.
The Reflectok is (or the straight
Republican ticket and hopes to see
every man on It elected.
It is well to beware of the man who
supports a party one year and tights
Its candidates the next.
The new Caseville and Southern
may reach the Gulf yet and then Dick-
oson will be a real railroad oenter.
As station agent at Caseville and
president of the Caseville & Southern
the pass question will not worry J. B.
Case much.
A British scientist says the world it
unusually quiet." He is evidently
not aware that city election campaigns
are on In Kansas.
The wideawake young businessmen
o( town are the ones who will forward
its best interests. Live up to Abl-
lene's possibilities,
The Commercial olub has offered a
"hospital site to the Woodmen of the
World. With the splendid water here
there It no such place In Kansas (or a
hospital.
The State temperance Union's
monthly bulletin gives the names of
several new applicants (or llquer 11'
censes In Dickinson county. Why are
they wanted P
Somebody at Salina seems to have
had a change of heart. Lafollette
does not appear on next summer's
. Chautauqua list of speakers. Instead
is the Hon. Charles Curtis.
- It is difficult to see much hope (or
Burton pardon. The president says
he will not grant It and Mr. Burton
tayi he will not aocept It. That
ought to settle the matter.
Hall happy day a new kind of
waist is ooming trom Paris, one that
buttons in (ront. The Abilene dry
goods merohant who first gets the
new ityle in will have a remarkable
trade.
To Dave Mulvane, President Roose-
Telt pat in a (ew plugs (or Tart,
"Delighted; don't lend delegation
trom Kansas to the next Republican
national convention (or Xarrimanltm
or La Follettelsnv'sald Mr. Roosevelt
A (aw "Roosevelt Republicans" ought
to take notice of that alap at La Toi
lette. Now there is nothing to prevent the
merry wedding bells from ringing al
the time. The bill providing (or a
probata judge pro tern., agreeahle to
the constitutional amendment adopted
last year, has beoome a law. It meets
ny emergencies by reason of the pro
bat judge being unable beoauaa of
sickness, absence or otherwise to per
form hit duties. I
Secretary Coburn gava the students
tome ad vie about letter writing at
the University last week. Mr.
Coburn hat a special hatred of signa
tures that nobody can read and aayt
that this it a disease peculiar to
champs, a disease that attacks bank
cashiers very often. He laid one
should not begin a letter with "Sir"
nor end it with 'wpeotlully." What
it hit idea of a good formula.
. . Abilene t . ,-,;
' ' Bt WILLIAM AXLES WHITK.
Abilene it on of the handsomest
towns In Kansas. It contain! five
thoutand of tha kindest, neighborly
neorjle In Kantat. For the man in
prosperity,. It hat a respeotful wel-
come; and (or tha man in adversity, it
hat the finest spirit of real charity
and helpfulness that aver hat been
shown in Kansas. More than that,
Abilene hat contributed to the state
of Kansas many decent men. It It
good town la which to live and to die.
Junction City Union: "At rule,
editors are the first to hear of gossip,
indiscretions of men and women, bun
dreds of things totally unfit for pub
lication, of the intrigue!, clandestine
meetingi, night buggy ridet, young
girls gone astray, and the flirtations
of married men and women; in fact,
all the tcandalt that come up. The
average newspaper man generally
finds out all the naup-hty doings, no
matter how secretly they are planned
or kept. If the papers would publish
half the stuff they hear, there would
be ten divorces where there It but one
now. There would be social astra-
clsin of manv who now thine at the
particular bright ttart in upperdom.
There would be shotgun matinees,
lynching bees, hatchet parties, gore,
imprisonment, desolation and misery.
The editor learnt nearly all of the sin
and hypocrisy of life and it is a won
der that he believe! In man, woman,
Many people continually 'find (ault
with the newspapers when at a matter
of faot they owe tbelr very ttandlng
to the leniency of the editor and to
the editorial watte basket."
Just to show how the pure (ood law
is working we olte these instances:
The new slabs of bacon now come la
beled, "Inspected by the United States
government." What was called maple
syrup last year is now oallod "Penoore
Syrup; the cheap ground coffee pack
ages now hare printed on the wrapper
that they contain tome chicory. The
pickles that used to come in white
vinegar, are now put up in older vine
gar. Paokages of cereals that former
ly passed (or two pounds, now have
printed the weight, twenty-eight
ounces, on the outside.
The legislature teems to have
needed a oensor or copy-reader or
something of the sort. A law Intend
ed to facilitate the movement of stook
readt that railroads "shall transport
the same in a period of time not less
than one hour (or eaoh IS miles of the
entire distance." It It pretumed that
this it to prevent jarring the flesh off
the animalt by excessively swift
traveling. If a freight train should
run as fast at 20 miles an hour and so
be loss than one hour going 16 miles
we presume it will subject the road
to punishment. If it it merely
prlnter'i error it should be correoted
before appearing In the ttatute bock.

F. I, KINDEBDIUB" AND rAMLT., ,
dishearten Frank but caused him to
quit farming and go into business.
He together with hit brother-in-law,
H. Asling, bought out the Woodbine
Hardware Co. at Woodbine. After
several successful yeart of business
here he told out and located at
Navarre and engaged In th lumber
and hardware business. His success
at thit place again shows hi honest
business principles, hit Integrity and
square deal methods. He built up a
large and prosperous business here,
ever on the lookout to give nis
patrons the very best that was to be
had and always ready to terve and
help hit fellow men in every way
possible. He had the confidence of
everyone who came In contact with
him and to meet him was to be his
(riend. Hit untimely death came un
expected and aa a shock to the com
munity at well at to hit friends and
relatives. All that medical skill
and loving care could do was done
(or Frank, but to no avail. Hit time
wat up and even in the prime of
manhood and at we ttand maurning
at his grave we ask, why it It that
one to useful to bit leliow citizens
and his community, so much loved
by his family and friends, so honest
and upright, so respected by every
one, should pass in the prime of
llfeP But those who were at his bed
side in the last hours of his life have
the satisfaction of knowing that
Frank was ready and willing to go
and meet his Master. He leaves to
monrn a young and loving wife and
ohildren, Alva 13 years and Lilian 8
years old (or whoa future needt their
loving father hat well provided.
Hit pasting wat a great lost to hit
fallow oltlaens. Hit place in the
community when he lived will hard
ly be filled again. A Fbiikd.
