The Bank Settlement.

AS we remarked yesterday the affails
of the Abilene bank are rapidly ap-
preaching settlement and will be in a
comparatively tangible shape when the
creditors meet Nov. 9th to select a
permanent assignee. This is matter
requiring the carefulest of judgment
and upon tie choice hinges the result
OF the settlement. In the hands of he
right man every dollar can undoubtedly
be paid in full.
Some good man Of known RESPONSE
bility and fairness, together with Il
member of the firm, probably Mr..
Fisher, should be elected 10 the posi-
ton. The creditors would thus feel
that their inteTeetS would be guarded
and they would at the same time have
the advantage of Mr.. Fishers knowl-
edge of the assets, his business atten-
ton aud natural desire that the asse. ;
should reach as far as possible. The
reputation that the firm has enjoyed i'll
the business world for more than eigh-
teen years should entitle it even i'll It's
misfortune, tn the confidence of the
creditors, and when that confidence
exists, there cannot be two opinions OF
the Importance of having this estate
administered by persons who are 10
seeking their own mere personal profit.
Mr. Fisher can readily give the re-
uui-ed bond and it will be to the adj
vantage of the creditors to have him as
one assignee or receiver as suggested.
We expect to see settlement made
soon after Nov. 9th and one hundred
cents paid on every dollar Of indebted
ness.

SMASHING RECORDS.
ANOTHER DROP AT YESTER-

The Fastest Fifth Heat Ever Trotsed
by a Two Year 0ld-Kansas Two
Year-0ld Record Lowered.

Those who failed to attend yester-
days matinee at the driving park
missed a treat. The two races trotted
were something as fine as were ever
seen in the state and the horsemen
present enjoyed them greatly.
The first was between Mollie Russell
by Ally Russell, twO-year-Old, and
Irmagarde by Robert McGregor,' a five
year-old. The first four heats were re-
markably fast considering that the
track was at least three seconds slow
but it was the fifth that won the rounds
of applause from the spectators. In it
Mollie Russell won in the great two
year-old time of 2:364, the last quarter
in 36a. This is the fastest fifth heat
ever trotted in the west by two-year-
old and lowers all previous records by
Kansas bred two-year-Old flyers.
The owner of the mare may we'll be
proud of her as he no doubt is.

solomon's Sheep Yards.

The Swift Packing Co. having noted
the growing demand for mutton,
bought many thousand sheep this sum-
mer with view to supplying the mar
ket with fresh mutton whenever
needed.
As to their various herds located at
different points, we have NJ knowledge
and but little interest, but concerning
the Solomon bunch We feel that all our
readers will be entertained.
Mr.. ]. Knollin is manager at this
point and he keeps ten men constantly
employed in handling the sheep. They
consume 700 bushels of grain daily and
ten to twelve tons of hay. There are
Is, 1000 now in the yards and we are told
that more are to arrive. The chances
however, are that after six or eight
weeks feeding, they will be shipped out
to make room for newcomers.
In addition to the help required to
feed and manage the flock, our carpen-
tiers have had all the work they could
do, building cribs, fences, feed boxes,
etc., and they are not through yet.
There were lots of oats around Solo
mon which would not grade, and which
our farmers did not need for feed. The
sheep pen makes ready market for
them and for all other rough feed.
AS the company has leased the mill
yard for five years, it must essentially
aid the business of Solomon. Whether
they will feed next year will be known
in time to enable our farmers to cut
hay. Should a bad season come on so
that our crops fail, we think the yard
would be vacant.-[Solomon Valley
Democrat.
