TO PREVENT INJUNCTION.
Telephone Company Proposes to Force
Its Tree.Cutting Through.

The protest of the REFLECTOR last
last evening alarmed the telephone
company and orders were received by
the men to hurry up the pole and
line placing. A force of men put up
line Of wire before daylight this
morning and connected a phone in
in order to prevent an injunction
against the spoliation Of the streets
The company evidently proposes to
force the hideous appearance OF the
poles through and the town can be
id as far as 1t is concerned II
Abilene wants to have its streets
ruined that is the way to do it. Every
tree that is touching the wires on the
north side Of Third street will be
killed by the electricity that will be
conducted along the wires. That Is
the reason that most cities that take
pride in their appearance do not allow
the poles and wires on the main
streets. The company evidently
thinks it owns this town and will do
as it pleases. Poles will be put up
Cedar and Buckeye If the people are
foolish enough to allow it. The gen.
eral indignation that has been mani
tested in the city may stop it but I'M
less there is a radical action the trees
on the north side Of Third are DOOM
ed. Many Of the As subscribers of
the company are going to order out
their phones because of the disregard
of the company for the looks OF the
city. 1t is a shame and a disgrace
that the town should be made a guy
to please a Missouri corporation that
is charging two prices for Its miser-
able service. Let Abilene show that
1t is not to be made q fool of-not this
war

There Is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few. years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from ten drops to teaspoonful.
1t act directly on the blood and nue.

DEsPolIlHa The STREETS.
Citizens Indignant It the Telephone
Compsny'e Outrage.

The most high-handed outrage on
the property owners Of this city ever
perpetrated is going on at the hands
OF the telephone company. In plac-
ing the huge electric light poles now
to- be used for telephone wires in the
residence part Of town the company
is planting them squarely in the
streets instead Of the alleys as before
and as is done in every city that has
any regard for its appearance. West
Third street has been disfgured with
these great poles and the residents
are indignant. Not only have the
workmen disfgured the streets but
wherever they have wished clear
line have hacked into lop-sided hid
eousness the trees on the we'll kept
terraces. When asked why the poles
were not put in the alley the reply
was; because we don't want to-"
1t is very unlikely that Abilene will
stand this kind Of an outrage. After
paying twice as much for telephones
as other towns do for a better service
1t is not pleasant to have the COM
pany assume a public be id"
position and proceed to despoil the
streets and make the residence part
Of town look like a guy. The tele.
phone company don't own this town
not yet, and unless we mistake the
temper Of the people Of the city 1t
will be taught so.
The city has no love for the CON-
pany for its high.handed proceedings
in the past and this last imposition is
too much. A petition will be pre-
sented to have its franchise annulled
by the council and II that don't work
there are about 40 out OF the 40 sub.
scribers to its unsatisfactory service
who can get along without it and will
do it.
Let Abilene protect its beautiful
streets and encourage as in the past
the identifying OF lawns and the max
ing Of the city, as it always has been,
q town whose particular pride is Its
lawns, terraces and streets.

inches. 1t is not as yet, however, of a very
good quality, but if cold weather sets in,

Advices received here from the Hudson

OF course, if the ice in New York state is
