CARVER AND CHIEF JUSTICE.


The boom started for Judge Carver
for chief justice appears to have
stirred up the animals. The Topeka
Journal has found q man who talked
with Carver Saturday and says thai
although the matter was not mention
ed he does not think Carver will run
for chief justice. In addition to this
marvellous mind reading display the
Salina Republican says
The many kind words spoken tor
Judge Carver in connecting his name
with the U. $. senatorship and Chief
Justiceship are appreciated fully both
by himself and his friends; but they
are not linked with any authority or
even Endorsement from the Judge.
He Is not 'schemingN for any noml-
nation; but II the Republicans see fit
to renominate him for Judge Of the
appellate court he will, Of course,
feel IL his duty to accept the honor.
| He is not now, and does not expect to
be, a candidate for chief justice, and
will not ask this county to send a
delegation to the state convention
that is not friendly to the renomlna-
ton Of Chief Justice Martin. The
Judge is still comparatively a young
man, and has the capacity to fill the
exalted places with which his name
has been coupled Doubtless in the
fulIness Of time he will reach them.
But his ambition this year will be
fully satisfied with the denomination
to the present Office he fills so ably
This is well put and will probably
end the demand made by one Of
Garver's boomers in this county that
Dickinson must be for him for CHIEF
Justice. We are glad to see the mat
ter put in It's proper light

AB|LBNB'S Fourth,
No Serious Accidents and Lots Of
Fun Made Independence Day a
Success Baseball, Bicycle Races
and Fireworks.

Abilene treated the American eagle
well on Saturday. 1t was an ideal
Fourth as to weather, cool, MINDLESS
and without dust. There was red
hot, sizzling series Of frecracker ex-
plosions from early morning to the
fall Of the last rocket and the small
bow as we'll as the hundreds OF visl-
tors to the city was superlatively
happy.
The band started in early with its
music and gave the town lots Of II.
There was d parade Of band and oall
clubs at 9 a. M, another parade at
$3.50 and pretty concert at s o'clock
The illuminated bicycle parade did
not occur. The fireworks display
was fine one. A large quantity had
been prepared and thousands watched
the display which took place at the
band stand on Second street. The
best feature Of this was the explosion
by accident Of whole boxful OF
Roman candles, wheels and rockets.
Everybody always wonders what
would happen il box Of fireworks
should become ignited. The crowd
found out. The whole vicinity OF
the stand was red, white and blue
with variations for about three min
utes while several hundred pieces OF
fireworks cracked and sizzled and
raised cain. 1t was hilarious sport
for the small boys. Nobody was hurt
Many house displays Of fireworks
pleased the children in various parts
Of town.
The bicycle races and ball games
were well attended. Everybody was
in good humor and the streets were
crowded, most Of the stores closed in
the afternoon.
The Athletic association which was
the leader in arranging the days
celebration deserves much credit for
giving Abilene good list OF attrac-
tions and showing how the city can
have good time at home with a
small expense.
BASEBALL CONTESTS.
The most attractive baseball games
of the season were those OF the
Fourth at the park between the
Indians Of Haskell Institute and the
Abilenes. The visitors are a well put
up team and rank high in baseball cir
cles Of the State. The Abilene team
was at its strongest, with Wagner
Staatz and Summers all in the list

good satisfaction as umpire. The
crowd was fair at the morning game;
in the afternoon it was large, crowd
ing the grand stand. About 1900
were on the ground.
In the morning the Indians started
in slow. Summers and Staatz were
the Abilene battery and they struck
out 5 to the Indians 5. For five inn
incs the redskins made but one run,
going out in one, two, three order.
In the meanwhile Abilene had made )
and the crowd did not like 1t, evil
IDENTIFY sympathizing with the
Indians. The yelling was all for the
redskins and when in the 7th there
was a dispute as to whether ball on
which three runs was made was a
foul or fair strike, the crowd fairly
howled to give it to the Indians
"The umpire is all right and the
Indians are all right, but they can't
play ball." This was premature
They did play ball and Abilene never
got smell. They made more in
the Sth and ended with 10 to Abilene's
s. The Indians fielding was excel
lent and after the first half when
they learned Summers delivery thei'
batting was strong. Abilene hi
Moonlight well in the first half thel
fell down, failing to reach first but
times in five innings Of which Strothe
lost Sd on steal, Staatz was left OF
lst and Lott on End. Score:
