LIPE OF CONSIDERATION.
Seven Young Ladies Enter the Con

The above words were heard last
night by those fortunate enough TO BIZ
present at the ceremony of taking the
veil by seven young ladies at the con-
vent OF st. Joseph. A life Of prayer,
poverty, chastity and humility. What
more fitting or enobling conservation is
ii possible for anyone to take upon
themselfp To devote ones self 10 the
welfare of his fellow beings and have
no thought Of earthly reward is the
truest charity. To such a life have
these noble young ladies offered them
selves.
Promptly at O'Clock the young
ladies arrayed as brides in all the pomp
and glory Of earthly vanity, preceded
by four little bridesmaids, marched tc
the altar to the strains of a wedding
march. The ceremony, which was
very impressive, was performed by the
Rev. Father Z. Leonard, o. s. T., oI
Emporia, assisted by Rev, Father
Leary, of Chapman.
The altar floral decoration was pro
fuse and the waxen candles cast hal,
over the scene which was deeply i'm
pressive.
The names of the young ladies' an,
what they will be known by in re!ig

years engaged in developing irrigating

stocks held by him in various land,

only $294.25. During the seventies

field. In 1874 the heavens above us
was almost solid with grasshoppers
and everybody was disposed to quit
work. 1t was time TO SOW fall wheat
and the farmers for several counties
around hesitated and the inquiry be-
came general, "What will Henry doY'
Henry soon caught on TO the idea that
that 5000 acre field might be some
thing more than real estate advertise
ment. 1t proved to be great stroke
In restoring confidence. lie gathered
up lot Of men and proceeded to SOW
the 5000 acres in wheat. The grass

them out of the way to give the seed
wheat a chance. The result was every

he was simply blowing in the expens,

gave Kansas a monstrOus crop, will

night long by the aid of locomotive

one of the seven wonders of the worlC

PLENTY OF CURRENCY.
Abilene Banks Need No Certihed
Checks or Such Devices.


Checks or Such Devices.
The order Of Comptroller Eckles,
issued Saturday, allowing National
banks to issue certified checks for
small amounts IN order to aid employ
ers and to be used as currency will
have no effect on Abilene. The Abb
lene National said this morning that II
should not take advantage of the order
as IL had plenty of currency and did
not need to. The Citizens bank and
the Thomas Kirby bank also have
plenty of currency and are ready fol-
any emergency.
The firm to which the order would
particularly apply is the Belle Springs
Creamery Co., which pays out to The
farmers about $4,000 month bu'
receives no currency, only exchange
and checks for its product. 1t is i'm
possible to secure currency from
Kansas City or Chicago banks except a
a premium and it speaks well for Abb
lene banks that they are prepared TO
all the local business.

TWO TRAINS OFF.
The Union Pacific Will Lessen Its
Passenger Service One Half.


Commencing Wednesday the Union
Pacific will cease running its night
passenger trains, passing Abilene now
at 1888 and $3.50 a, m. This is owing
to the falling off IN business and will
leave only the two day trains for
through passenger service.
The change will, however, affect
Abilene's eastbound train service very
little, indeed the result will be rather
beneficial than otherwise. The plug
which now leaves Kansas City at 4 p

be run on to salina. 1t will go eas,
about 4 a. m, thus giving an oppor
tunity to spend the day in Kansas

for the brotherhood Of all mankind.
He particularly pointed the dangers
which threaten our national institu-
tions from different standpoints. A
corrupt ballot,an insidious foreign ele-
ment not in sympathy with our free
institutions. His remedy for these
was in laws regulating the ballot,
limiting the right of franchise only to
American born citizens Of either sex,
race or color of the age of twenty.one
years, and only such foreign born cite
zens as hae lived here twenty.one years
who were in sympathy with our gov
ernment and who could read his bal
lot in the English language. He
thought every citizen should be a poll
tlcian in the sense of attending the
primaries and helping to select the
best candidates for Office. The cor
rupting Of the ballot with gold thus
thwarting tue will of the majority,
was an evil which threatens the very
existance Of our government. Another
evil which threatened us was the war
now waging between capital and labor
which the speaker believed could be
settled by an equitable division Of
profits and losses between employer
and employed. The demand for di-
vision of the public school funds among
certain religious denominations mus
not he allowed. Every denominat! d
should support its own schools and the
public school eund must be kept nn-
sectarian. The growing desire to
break down the observance of the
Christian Sabbath was an omen of
evil which should he resisted by every
good citizen. The use Of tobacco,
opium and liqaor ca. ,e in for their
Just share Of cond, unation. The
lecturer treated of the national ques-
tions of the hour aud he handled them
in a masterly manner. In the judg-
inent of many this was the best Of the
many good lectures delivered at the
Chautauqua this season.
