The Good Worked BY Elevated Roads.


NEW YORK, April IA remarkable petition
signed by 1900 citizens in the interest Of the
elevated railway was laid before the Board of
Aldermen to-day, The whereas part of this
petition claims about everything in sight. Ac-
cording to it the elevated railway has attracted
Thousands of new residents to the city, has
kept other thousands from leaving it, mas
doomed real estate, and has been an inestima-
BILE boon to the poor workingman. In considr
Grafton of all this good that Mr.. Gould and
Mr., Sage have done the city, the petition asks
that they be allowed to do some more by build
ing third elevated tracks where they wish, and
by absorbing big chunk Of Battery Park for a
terminal loop. The final request Of the 1900
citizens is that their petition be indorsed by the
Aldermen and sent to the Legislature, which
shall appoint q commission to tell Mr., Gould
and Mr.. Sage to go ahead with their rapid
transit scheme. The Aldermen referred the

Of monuments to General Grant,

We've seen New Workers crazy go,
And paint the city red.

With Spalding at their head.

In the Western Reserve about eight out of
ten men you meet are called Henry or rather
christened Henry and called Hank.
A newspaperman who is given to amusing
himself in eccentric ways, was once at a loss for
a hearty laugh while travelling toward Cleve-
land over the Lake Shore Railroad. He and
his companion knew that about three hours of
accommodation train WEAKNESS lay before
them, and though they had good many broad
smiles in quart bottle they desired something
to shatter the monotony.
An idea struck the newspaper man first. AT
the next station the train stopped at there was
the usual crowd of gawky rustics assembled to
see the train come inland go out. As the train
was moving out the two travellers in search of
fun raised the car windows, and leaning out
with an air Of intense eagerness, shouted
loudly over and over again: "HankI Hullo,
Hankp'
Nearly all the men sprang forward, and as
they did so the jocose travellers fell back into
their seats laughing immoderately. They re-
peated this mild practical joke at several sta
tioDs with the same results, and then the laugh
went over to the other side. They were leaving
small town and making the Hanks in the
crowd.g through the usual evolutions, when
the engineer, for some reason or other, stopped
the train. The iokers were still shouting
"Hankl HankF' when the cars came to stand
still. Several of the. Hanks came up to the
car window and wanted to know why they had
been called. One very big farmer guessed the
meaning of the whole business and tried hard
to reach the head of the newspaperman with
his fist. The crowd was about to board the
cars and take vengeance on their tormentors
when the conductor started the train in hurry
and pulled the latter out of danger. There
was 20 more crying of "HankT after that

ENCOURAGING Words.

The Hoisington Bank Reporter, OF
Kansas City, No., has this to say reIa-
tive to the Abilene Bank failure OF
Lebold & Fisher:
The collapse would not have proved
serious if the eastern creditors had not
forced the prompt securement of theil
claims. Local interested parties haG
confidence in the bank officials ana
were perfectly content to go slow and
give them a chance TO reopen and be-
gin business anew, but those of the
east were not of such cUnSIderatt
naturr, and an assignment was the
only thing left in order to give each
creditor All equal footing. rhe !iabili-
ties now amount to about S2S5, 900.
with assets worth double the amount
but upon forced sale will barely leave
the bank whole. Thus firm is forced
intO bankruptcy which still retains
the confidence of those who daily trans
acted business with it. They are not
dead 10y any means and we venture t.
say that this wreck or rOut will not for
ever blight their business future.
Western men of the intelligence and
moral standing of Messrs. LebOld ana
Fisher may be frustrated and thfCwn
off their balance, but they will RI,
again and surmOunt the passing diff
cultieS, overcome the obstacles tina
caused their present downfall. conquer

Imnortant Business Change.

A large transaction took place last
evening, at which NJ. Y. Brilliant pur-
chased the entire hardware stock OF
Shockey 81 Snider, together with the
good will of the firm. Mr.. Brilliant is
we'll and favOrably known throughout
the county and has hosts of friends.
AS deputy treasurer and clerk of the
district court. he has made an acquain-
lance second to none. He is one of
Abilene's most respected citizens, and
will prove a valuable addition to her
list of business men. We believe that
with his fine business ability lie will
prove unusually successful.
We regret losing Messrs. Shockey &
Snider from the business men, but
hope that they will re-enter mercantile
life.

receive the histories promised.
We wish we could have given each
competitor, one as all deserved it. The
exhibit has been much admired and
has attracted the attention of hundreds
of visitors to the city. The best of ii
all is that the samples shown were i'll
