lie returned a few days ago from
Ncmaha county where he has been
selling Excelsior Fence Machines for
six weeks. lie has had his usual ex-
traordinary success as may be at
tested by the Excelsior Fence Ma
chine Co., composed Of a number Of
Abilene's leading business men and of
which he is manager. His sales for
six weeks as reported at meeting Of
the stockholders last night amounted
to $4,000 and a dividend of $l55 per
share was declared the par value of
the shares beingS150. The dividends
Of the company since April last have
been 1897 per share which ought
to make the stock consider
siderahly more valuable than govern
ment bonds. This return only in
cludes about 16 weeks actual work.
Ii is not too much to say that the
company's phenomenal success has
been due as much to Mr.. Kubach's
eminent business qualities as to the
desirability of the article for which
they own the rigbtof sale. Certainly
such returns are evidence Of very
high ability and Mr.. Kubach has a
right to be proud of the remarkable
success he has attained. Charlie will
be millionaire yet-indeed all the
members Of the company appear to be
bound in that direction.

yards and Abilene soon had the ball
back to the center Of the field. IT.
Riley secured the ball on a tumble
and by a series Of end plays had
the ball on the three yard line. But
this was the end Of it. Abilene be-
came desperate and took the bali on
three downs. They soon carried the
ball all the length Of the field and
Matteson scored touchdown and
goal. TT. Riley started the ball on u
kick off but Dave Lott gathered it up
and ran back to the center before be-
ing downed. The ball changed hands
several times in the center and finally
Matteson darted through hole made
by Lower and Smith and scored
touchdown. The rest OF the half was
played near the center and time was
called with the ball on TT. Riley's 40
yard line.
Second half - Abilene kicked 40
yards and downed the man with the
ball. In ten minutes Abilene had
scored another touchdown but Mat
teson failed to kick goal. TT. Riley
kicked off and after fifteen minutes
play Pattison was sent around the
end for 80 yards and a touch down.
No goal. Neither side could score in
the remaining six minutes and time
was colled. Score Abilene IS, TT.
Riley 0.
The Abilene team lined up as usual
and made some strong plays. llurd
made several 10 and 20 yard runs and
every member put up an excellent
game. The boys were treated in the
very best manner and all speak in
high terms of praise of the hospitality
OF the fort attaches.

called at 300. Everybody should 60,
