A Card from Mr.. Malott,

To the Voters of the Fourth Ward:

First ward says, liking, Dewey and
Malott must go off of the school board )"
that they are in the way. 1 can't
speak for the Second nor the Third
ward, as they will decide that matter
for themselves. Yet 1 do know that
they will make grave mistake if they
make any change in either of those
wards. AS to the Fourth ward (my
own, I will be unavoidably called away
from home at the time of the election,
but I am a candidate for reelection
from that ward at the April election.
If my friends are satisfied with my
work as school trustee, 1 will appreci-
ate their votes. 1 am not willing to let
my case be decided by man in another
ward who is fighting the schools las in
this case). 1 believe the schools have
been run economically and decided
change has been made for the better,
and / think another year will develope
still greater improvement.

GEN. ALGER RECEIVED.
ABILENE GIVES THE COMMAND
ER A HEARTY WELCOME.
The Famous Leader Makes a Pleasant
Visit to the Belle-Address by Hon.
J. 3. BurtOn-Music and an Informal
Reception.

It was somewhat of a surprise yester
day when telegram was received from
Adj't o. 81. Coulter saying that Com
mander-in-C Chief Russell A. Alger, and
staff, of the G. A. R., would pay Abb
lene visit in the evening. Mr.. Algel
was at Atchison Saturday, and desiring
to see Kansas by daylight, as well nc
doubt, impelled by an overpowering
ambition to gaze on the Belle of the
Smoky and spend a while inside her
boundaries, he changed his route from
through northern Kansas and came this
way, via Topeka.
The party arrived on the afternoon
Union Pacific passenger train, and al
though short notice had been given, a
large crowd was in waiting at the de-
pot and the Sons of Veterans band was
on hand to discourse music in honor of
the city's distinguished guest. Gen
eral Alger was accompanied by his
wife and the fighting chaplain" Rev.
John Hogarth Lozier, who is host in
himself. It had been expected that
larger party would be with him, but
the illness of Mr.. Alger's business part
ner nscessitated the sending of his pri-
vate car to the south and so there
were no convenierces for his entire
staff to be with him.
AT THE COURT HOUSE.
They were escorted at once to the
court house, where the court room was
crowded to suffocation by auditors.
Hon. J. r. Burton made a brief but
excellent address of welcome and hand
somely greeted the eminent soldier.
He reverted to Gen. Alger's history
and his deserved renown as soldier
as brave general as ever led an army,
But he recalled the fact that he has
been no less renowned in peace than in
war, his work as leader in CONNER
cial circles proving him financier of
ability. He expressed in fit terms the
pride felt by Abilene in seeing the
noted general, and closed by welcoming
him heartily and saying that we had
done our best under the circumstances
to properly receive him-had there
been time all the county would have
been present.
GENERAL ALGER'S RESPONSE.
Gen. Alger responded in a pleasant
He had been surprised as
well as delighted to see SO large gath
ering and felt honored by the recep-
ton. He had always before crossed
Kansas in the night and had never I'M
til the present gazed upon the beautiful
empire that lies here in the central por
ton of the state. 1t impressed him to
see it and he predicted great futu1e
for central Kansas and the cities that
gem its plains. He then talked of the
governments war department and the
pension work, expressing his hope that
the day will come when the govern
ment will take proper care of all the
soldiers who in its time of need gave
themselves to take care of it. He was
loudly applauded.
After the addresses an informal re-
,eption was held and nearly all present
shook hands with the G. A. RS high
est officer.

but teach of the care of the body" Nc
Millen said, "Show effects of over-eat-
ing" Shirk: "Teach temperance in
all things incidentally" Messrs. Lam
dis, Grosser and Cook and Miss Sim
mers further discussed the subject.
W. II. Phipps read paper on Ere

lieved in the teacher being an example
to his pupil in all things. The veteran
teacher, Campbell, said, 1--WE cannot
teach purity in school unless we are
pure" Prof. Moulton: 'Blots on the
character cannot well be erased" Mr..
Greider talked on the subject.
"School Visitation was the subject

were Philips, Ford, Campbell, Moulton
and Allen.

by j. II. McMillen. 1t was discussed
by Jesse Engle and ]. F. Lands.
In absence Of Prof. Gaines. of the
high school, Prof. jerks handled the
subject of "Elocutionary Work in
School," begin elocution in primary
grades" he says, land drill your pu-
pills before declining in public" He
would do away with the fainting, weep
ing and dying to which some elocution-
tionists are subject.
The evening session consisted of the
usual list of general exercises. Supt.
Ford read an able paper and strong res
olutions were unanimously adopted
faVoring uniformity of text books, urg-
ing Supt. Ford to accept third term
and declaring against resubmission.

Farming That PAYS.

The Herington Tribune has the fol-
lowing paragraph regarding one Of
Dickinson county's best farmers:
"H. J. Smith, whose farm joins the
city on the southwest, last year culti-
waited 25 acres of broomcorn from which
he realized $500 for brush baled and
shipped, 5000 for 100 doz. brooms of his
own manufacture and has enough brush
left to make 100 dozen more brooms,
which will bring him 5000 more, or
q total of 700 hard, round government
dollars gathered from % acres of Dick
inson county high prairie dirt. Besides
this broomcorn money, Mr.. Smith
raised about 500 bushels OF the kind
of corn that makes bread and meat and
the COWS "giye down. their milk,
and also good bin full of wheat to

THE. WATER WORKS QUESTION.

Mr.. Rice Issues an Explanatory Card
Regarding 1t.
The following card regarding the in
terest of Mr.. A. W. Rice, candidate
for mayor, in the water works company

and sets forth his connection with the
matter. The card is:
A CARD.
To aChon it may cOncern:-
AS the public is interested in the
water works question, 1 take this
method to define my position in the
matter. When the water works plant
was sold some time ago my interest in
the company, financially, ceased; but
after the new company took hold, it
was desired that Abilene should te rep
resented in the Office of directors, 30
Mr.. Sterl and myself took one share
each and were named among the direc-
tors. This is all the interest l have in
the water works company, and if elect
ed mayor 1 can most heartily pledge
myself to the support of any measure
that will give the people better water.
make this explanation because am
being charged with having large inter
ests in the water works company, and 1
deem it no more than right that the
people should know just how 1 stand
in the matter. Respectfully,
A. W. RICE.
