BallOna Is Iiudd DobIc's Hone.

Bndd Doble, who has just returned from
trip abroad, said recently: "Of the trot-
ters now In my stable | suppose Ballona
promises to be the most sensational. Soon
after She made her record of 2:l91I as n
3-year-old she was purchased by A. II. Moore
and turned over to me- That same fall ut
Nashville drove her quarter in 800 sec
onds, and she impressed me as good enough
to give the 4-yearold record close call
Unfortunately Ballona got sick last spring,
and let her up for the season She is ali
right now, and she has every license to go
very fast this season."
Regarding Arion the crack Chicago driv-

he believed the son of Electioneer had very
bright prospects i'll his 5-year-old form
Mr.. Forbes has made no definite arrange

NEW YORK. April l6.-There were
but two stocks that figured to any ex.
tent in tho stock market today, namely,
American Sugar and Chicago Gas.
Sugar held the attention OF operate in
the hrst half OF the day, but subse-
quently II was supplanted by Chicago
Gas, which completely eclipsed the first
named. In the early trading Sugar rose
~ TO 99G and the preferred moved up
IA 10 80, while the other prominent
l.su, advanced about u per cent. or 90
on limited trading.
Lackawanna was an exception, SELL
Ing up IL TO lt6A. After mid day
Chicago Gas forged TO the front. and
under heavy purchases rose from 63 "A to
ooN. The Improvement in Sugar WAS
again due to Washington reports that
the company will receive the pro,ect ton
II asks, and the rise in Chicago Gas was
the result OF Chicago rumors that the
Attorney General had decided the quo
warranto case In favor Of the company
1t Is, perhaps, needless to add that
neither OF these rune RS could be con-
hrmed. The transactions in Sugar were

Strnw HATS For Horses.

In very warm countries it is necessary to
afford horses whose work must be done in
the heat of the day some protection against
the SUMS rays In Texas some humane own
ers supply their horses with straw hats. I'M
derneath which is n sponge which is kept
wet, and in British India the same plan is
followed, with the exception that pith is
used instead of straw, being much lighter
good, big sponge, kept thoroughly wet
and attached TO the piece of the bride lust
at the poll, is ample protection and is wor-
thy more general use even in northern
cities, where horses must work all day on
the streets.

STARTING A. P. A. COUNCILS.
The State Organizer Makes a Visit to
Abilene.

Judge j. +. Culver OF Emporia was
in the city this afternoon ON his way
to Hays City and was looking up the
chances for organizing council Of the
A. P. A. in this city. Judge Culver
is State organizer of the order and
last week opened lodges at Council
Grove and Wilsey. Herington is, he
says, the only place in the county
that has branch Of the order but he
aims to put in Others If possible.
"The State, says Mr.. Culver, "has
go, 900 A. P. AS already and there are
5000, 900 in the nation. We antag-
onize no religion but simply oppose
any sect receiving undue recognition
from the government in anyway, in
short aim at the enforcement Of
church and state for the best interests
of American citizenship. II is a mis-
take that we are fighting the Cath
olics. In Emporia many prominent
Catholics who have come to under
stand our principles are in sympathy
with our aims and have signed our
petitions
No steps were taken today in the
direction of lodge formation but the
organizer intimated that he might re.
turn later.

CH1NcHBuo suBTREAsURY.
Fungus viii Be Stored Away Until
Next Year.

The present condition of the corn
fields has caused the chinchbug sta
ton to be come practically useless for
the remainder of the year. The corn
needs no protection from the bugs as
it cannot be much more injured than
it is at present.
Prof. Hickey says that the bugs
under the influence Of the dry weather
are Matching out with remarkable
rapidity and are going to be very
numerous during the next month.
He is devoting his time to prepar-
ing as many boxes Of diseased bugs
as possible and will have several
hundred boxes in store at the court
house in readiness for next year. The
diseased bugs will be as effective then
as now and the farmers can get to
work on their fields early in the
season and so save many of them.
The station has been a success in
that it has demonstrated the value of
this method to scores who would not
otherwise have tried it. In nearly
every instance the trials have proved
successful and hundreds of farmers
will use the method next year where
tens have this season.

"a Treatise on Practical Hygiene
by Benjamin Gsh, Abilene, Kansas.
260 pages, Reflector Publishing Co.,
Paper, so cents.
This handy volume which is just
issued has been work Of much care
on the part of the author. He ha,
had it in contemplation for several
years and has brought not only q
long experience but wide reading to
bear on its production. The book
aims to be family physician and to
advise what to do in sickncsses q
various sorts. 1t is particularly ex-
plicit in regard to water remedies and
various remedial means for which
water may be used are fully described.
There are descriptions of all kinds Of
baths as well as full directions
for treating feyers, bowel COM
plants, etc. The book quotes cop
iously from many leading authorities
and its references are all fully YER
flied. Its style is plain, practical and
clear and its directions such as can be
followed in any home and claim to be
exceeding beneficial il carried out.
The author has little use for doctors
and thinks they are more frequently
injurious to patients than beneficial.
A unique feature Of the book is a
compilation of edible hygiene" being
a collection Of all bible references to
the physical nature and how to care
for il, some 40 pages in all. Mr.. Gish
Is one of the leading members of the
River Brethren church in this State
and his book will doubtless have a
large sale among the members Of that
church as well as outside. 1t is fully
indexed.

Death Of Mrs. Fry.

Mrs. Laura c. Fry, who has been il
for three weeks but was thought i'm
proving, died this morning at j
o'clock. A consultation by Drs. j. W.
Felty, H. B. Felty and +. L. IIazlett
held last evening and post norton
examination this morning confirmed
the first diagnosis Of the trouble as
resulting from cancerous formations
in the stomach. The funeral services
will be held at the residence tomor-
row afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. Dr..
Blayney, who knew her from girlhood,
will ofliciate.
Mrs. Fry was. born at Sulphur
Springs, Ohio, fifty years ago. Her
maiden name was Gillespie and she
was a second cousin OF James Gillespie
Blaine. She was the widow Of Alfred
Fry, with whom she came to Kansas
in 1887, and who died here in 1891.
Four children, Edgar, Carl, Paul and
Emma, the oldest being eighteen and
the youngest ten, are left motherless
but not friendless. She was u consis-
tent and devoted member Of the
Lutheran church Of this city and an
active worker in the Women's Relief
Corps. The glory Of her life was in
the training of her children and the
government Of her home. For such a
woman there is great reward in earth
and in heaven.
From Mondays Dallyl
The esteem in which the late Mrs.
Fry was 4 VI was evidenced by the
large attendance on her funeral SER
vices yesterday afternoon. The SER
vices were impressive and sincere
sorrow dwelt in every heart as the
form of mother and friend was laid g.
rest. Rev. DR.. Blayney OBLIGATED.
