not yet made any surveys to enable us tc

The discussion calls to mind the peculiar
hardships Of the Sisseton and Wahpeton
Sioux, who have, with rare exceptions, re-
manned at peace with the whites from the
first, and were yet overwhelmed in the gem

The Gazette Removal,

During the last two or three weeks a
scheme to establish 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 Repub-
lican paper 1t was plain from the
first that Republicans 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 10th 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 GER
tainty and that all arrangements for
its removal from Abilene will be per-
fected tonight. 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 lively competition
with good morning paper to get a
better support for the future than in
the past.-[Salina Herald, Saturday.

Practice VS.. Theory.

During several days of last week one
of our distinguished Democrats was
busily engaged in soliciting aid for the
establishment Of pottery in Abilene.
He talked loud and long and enthusi-
astically III 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 unauswerabie 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
begging for the pottery, but his argu-
ments were all against aiding and as
sistlng home industries. Every cent
imposed upon the people to encourage
home industries was ''robber tariff. -
Every cent paid to aid or assist in
building up the wooden 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 pottery located
in our midst. In practice, free-trader
has some business sense, and believes
in going down in his pockets to aid
home industries; in theory, he is abso-
lutelV idiotic.

conducted the soLg 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. G.
Lyeth. During the past winter, at,
tended by her faithful and loving grand,
daughter, she had lived at Tucson,
Arizona, hoping that the elm ate 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 it
for her brighter and happier home
above.
For period of 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.
Never a murmur of complaint escaped
her but with hOpefulness that encOur-
aged even her physician she cheered
those who waited on and loved her.
Yesterday 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. 1t was the joyful ter
mination of busy and eyentful life,
and as 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.

FIRE DEPARTMENT MEETING.
The Fire Ladies' Take Possession of
Their New 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 Nos. 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 OBJ
ject, to consider the invitation to 90 to
KansasCity and to inspect the new head
quarters. After giving the invitation
of the Volunteer Firemen's Associa-
ton it was discussed by several mem
bers. 1t was not thought best to act
upon it definitely at that meeting and,
on motion, it was laid OH the table I'M
til the next regular meeting, early in
September.
CounciImen H. G.. Fisher and \. S.
Davidson were present and made
few remarks, rendering the boys the
use of the hall, etc. The remarks were
briefly responded to.
The firemen can well be proud of
their new room. 1t is large, we'll
lighted and handsomely furnished.
The four sliding doors on Broadway
give the fullest ard easiest possible
access to the street. A fine hoSe-wash-
ing platform is erected with water
works attachments so as to save all I'M
necessary labor. Abilene has an
efficient and hard working Fire depart
ment. one of which she can be proud
and her recognition of their services
should lie 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
which will in few months be upon us.

A BIG LAED SALE.
An Abilene Firm Makes One Of the
Largest Land Deals il Kansas this

An Abilene Firm Makes One of the
Largest Land Deals il 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 250,0 acres of land lying in
Ottawa county, northeast of Minneap-
oils. The land was in wild state
when they bought it. but they have
fenced it, opened springs, put farmers
upon part of it, and generally improved
1t so as to make the tract 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. all but two lying in one body.
For this tract, all fenced and somewhat
improved, they paid the neat sum of
$4,000 cash.
The Lew owners will stock part of
their rancho 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 melted.

Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and
lung distractions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
