HIGHER EDUCATION FOR Wo-
xES.-The Kansas City Times says;
"There is one aspect of the move
ment for the development Of the
new woman which commands uni
yersal approval and that is the high
er education. A quarter OF cen
tury ago college-traincd young
woman was a rare individual, but
now they are as plenty as college,
bred men were at that time, and
the advantage is noticeable in eve-
ry.phase Of life. The children are
brought mp IN better atmosphere
because of tho higher education Of
tho mothers, ami there is d marked
improvement in social life and do
raestic environments. The influ.
ence of an educated mother upon
the minds OF s..ildren Is beyond des-
cription Or estimate. However
learned the father may be or atten-
tive TO his obligations as d parent,
the guiding Of the child is the func-
.ksoss af Cha -ssas l.e,s-. III. es---.-
'heredity insy be disclossd ID the
similarity Of disposition between
father and child, but so far as tho
matter Of training the mind goes,
it is the mothers work, and in the
proportion that the atmosphere of
the nursery is refined the minds Of
the children will be broad and
healthful."

Salina Republican: j. H. Mills, a
fireman on the Mcpherson branch,
returned from Denver this noon and
is very enthusiastic over Schlatter's
healing powers. Mr.. Mills went out
to be treated by the healer for stff
arm. For long time he has been
able to raise the arm but few inches.
He says the sensation when Schlstter
grasped his hand was similar to that
produced by a powerful electric bat
terry. He is now able to move his
arm In any position, although his
shoulder still pains him slightly. Sew
eral others have returned or passed
through here during the past day Or
two, and some have been benefited
by Schlatters treatment, while others
are no better than before they went
to him.
Mrs. Dennis Sullivan. who was
taken to Denver Tuesdayto be treated
for rheumatism by the miracle worker,
was brought back on the early morn
ing train this morning, but is no bet
ter than when she went out.

WILL START MODERATELY.
The Electric Light Plant Will Begin
Business at Once.

The electric light plant is 60 and
Norris Bros. will commence tomor-
row making contracts for private
lighting. They receive much encour-
agement and think 800 to 1000 Tampa
can be put in. Mr.. s. o. Norris ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
the city councils attitude, saying:
1--WE do not want the'city to promise
anything it cannot fulfill. The coun-
Gil was very encouraging and friendly
and we know now exactly what can
be done and will build accordingly,
increasing the plant as necessary"
Whether steam or water power is
to be used Is not yet determined.
Probably none Of the old plant will
be utilized. Rates at first will be as
follows; Per lamp per month when
run until 10 O'Clock, d5 cents, mid
night, u cents; all night, $3.50.
Where meters are put in, four-ffths
Of a cent an hour per lamp, III
enough lights are taken it is expected
that these rates will be materially re.
duced. Messrs, Norris seem to be
starting in very practical and bust
nesslike manner and will succeed,

The dispatch sent out from Enter
prise last week that Congressman
Calderhead was to debate in Enter
prise with John Davis was a fake,
just as 1t looked to be. Mr.. Calder
head probably was invited but he has
something better to do just now than
wrangle with political corpse like
Davis. He is needed in Washington
to arrange for his work there and to
be present at the opening Of congress.
He did up Mr.. Davis in debate once
and John ought to be satisfied and
not invite another drubbing.

Wider Markets Sought for KansaI
Butter and Cheese.

9NssSA "hu thUOuuf
Two meetings of creamery mer
have recently been held, one at Me
Pherson and ono at Herlngton, to ar
range mutual benefit company tt
further the interests Of the creamery
industry. The work is now complete
and an organization called the Kansas
Creamery and Supply Company, cap
ital $40, 900, has been formed.
The parties named in the articles Of
incorporation are; J.K. Forney, abb
lene, president; II. M. Brandt, Canton,
secretary; j. Il. Nissley, Abilene,
manager; |. M. Carver, Newton, and
A. G. Eytb, Enterprise,
The plan Of tho company is to reach
Q wider market for Kansas butter.
AT present Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Iowa creamerlcs monopolizc the
trade Of the south. They send to Gal
weston, Houston and other southern
points carload lots of butter which
are sold there cheaper than Kansas
crcamerics can sell their product sent
BY express. The object Of this com
bination is 10 ship all surplus butter
from each Of the creameries in Kan
100 in ALTO Kansas
City depository from which line Of
refrigerator cars will take it east and
south. The south and southwest
even down into Mexico will be the
market sought, and with the saving
D" ireipn' :. IS expected that Illinois
can be undersold and yet
return as large or larger profit to
Kansas creameres and their patrons
as now. II will make better and
more regular prices and induce the
Of more creameries in this
state and so build up one Of Kansas
growing industries. Already the
'reameries pay out $5,OOO,O00 year
70 the farmers; ten times as much
will be paid inside Of few years.
j. +. Nissley, ex-president Of the
State Dairy association, and ex-mayor
II this city, is to be the Kansas City
manager and will open his office there
bout January lst. He is one Of the
,est creamery men in the nation and
businessman Of exceptional ability,
md the result Of his management will
'e to the profit and credit Of the
reamery industry.

the Biggest Best and the Only Republican Paper Abene
TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
Three Sermons That Walked Up the
Congregations.

Rev. Dr. Blayney in the Presbyte
rian church Sunday mornin,
preached on Christian science, faitl
cure and kindred bric-a-brac. HI
gave his congregation vivid descrip
tion of the Denver Messiah, Schlatter
whom he saw on a recent Colorado
visit. He emphatically denounced
the so-callod healer and all his pre-.
tended assistance to humanity. What.
ever cures may result come from the
will power Of the patient rather than
from any power in the manipulators
OF the machinery. DR.. Blayney dis
cusscd the subject logically and with
much valuable suggestion.
Rev. DR.. Haithcox preached in the
morning on "Citizenship' and his
sermon was one which every voter
should have heard. 1t was an eulogy
Of the reign Of law, the necessity of
every member Of society yielding a
hearty, whole-souled obedience to the
law and its authorized administrators.
The state is strong exactly in the
measure in which it has the support
Of its citizens, 1t is weak in the degree
in which its statutes are held lightly
and its principles Of government dis
regarded openly or secretly by Its
people. The anarchist, socialist and
other enemies Of society must bc
brought to sense of their injury to
the whole people II we are to have the
best government. "Render unto
Caesar the the things that are
Caesars, obey the laws Of man as
well rs those Of God and attain the |
highest measure Of Christian citizen
ship.
Rev. E. L. Tarbill preached to large |
congregations op the always attrao-
tive themes Of dancing and card play
ing and as was to be expected from
the Methodist pulpit, strongly op-
posed such amusements. His sermon
was particularly addressed to Chris
tians who he declared could not in
dulge in dancing and card playing
and follow true Christian life. He
raced much Of the evil In the world
20 the card table and dance room and
70 the latter ascribes most oi the ruin
hat comes to young women. He was
lot harsh in his expressions but was
emphatic in his statement that no
Christian should indulge in these
He presented no strik-
ngly new arguments but repeated

A SWEET LIFE ENDED.
Miss Matte Coggeshall, one Of Dick.
inson's Fair Daughters, Dead.

Not often does death come ATTENDED
with such wide-felt sadness as IL did
when on Saturday night it entered
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. c. N. Cog.
geshall, south Of Solomon, and took
therefrom the beloved daughter, Miss
Matte. A ten-days' illness, during
which she rallied once and seemed
on the way to recovery, had preceded,
and then, conscious Of the coming
end and serene in her calm Christian
faith, she said goodbye. She was
aged p years and was the only daugh-
ter, a son, Ben, being the only other
child. OF a tender and sweet dispo-
sitlon, attractive in appearance and
with winning ways, Miss Matte was
all that is true and worthy in woman
hood. She was born on the farm
where she died, graduated in 1898 at
the county high school, taught one
year near Holland, and was teaching
her second year In her home school.
Both as teacher and as friend she was
beloved and respected. What she did
she did with her might; her heart
went out first to the needy and neg
lected' she was kind, helpful and
CHEEKY; she was noble Christian girl |
and woman-no greater praise can
earth give than this.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon, her pastor, Rev. Il. N. Ran
kin Of Solomon Presbyterian church,
Hundreds OF friends were
present to show their respect and sor-
row. The interment was at Solomon
cemetery. The deceased was neice
'f Mr.. g. A. Rogers Of this city whose
amily as well as many Others from
Abilene attended.
For two years Miss Coggeshall has
'cen a correspondent for the RErLEc-
'oR and thus we came to know her
veil. Faithful to every trust, ever ,
arnest in her work, her death seems
personal loss, "a il does to all her
yido circle Of friends. The world Is
'astly poorer for the departure Of
uch u soul as hers.

MAY ELECT A MAYOR.
Probably the Spring Contest Will
Be Lively.

Indications are that the spring
election in Abilene will bs fully up to
last April's free-ior-all. 1t can't be
any livelier for things were at q red,
white and blue stage for n month
then and the marks are not yet worn
of the sidewalks. Mayor Coye's
business takes him away SO much
that it is possible that a mayor will
be elected and electric lights, water
works and joints will be more or less
burning issues.
In connection with city elections
the Emporia Republican makes o
good point thus: "ln cities OF the
second class the members Of the
council and the members Of tho board
Of education should all be elected at
the same time. A spring election has
to be held every year and all can be
elected Just as well as half the num-
Der. Allowing one half Of each Of
these bodies to hold over Is fruitful
source Of contention and strife. III
one year Is too short a term, make II |
swo years; but, whether one or two
years, the members should all be
elected at the same time. One wear, |
n our opinion Is too long for some Of
hem to hold such positions. The
should amend the law and
'rovide for the election Of a full |
ouncil and a full board every spring.
Those members who deserve a re-
lection need have no fears Of the re-
ults, and those who do not, the pco-
'le can get rid Of within reasonable
ime, Lot us have the change"
