Danger for the Boy.

Lawrence journal: A boy out by
Abilene saved a train from wreck
short time ago and the officials re-
warded him by giving him a life pass
over the road. Right there begins
the downfall Of that boy. Had the
road given him job on the section
with permission to work up as rapid
ly as possible, he might some day
have been president Of the road. But
with pass to travel when and where
he pleases, he will probably become
Populist orator, and in time get tc
abusing the road because it refuses tt
pay his hotel bills or give him {

ABOUT THE BAND.
An Institution Abilene Should Sus.
tain Loyalty.

One Of the embarrasments OF keep
ing a tirst-class band in Abilene has
been its existence during the winter

On June 20, 1895, the Abilene Mill

organized with c. r. Pleiser as man
ager and director. The members
were all inexperienced and had to
start from the lowest round.
The enrolled membership was 2l
d has since grown to 20. The ex-
pense for the first years drilling and
teaching was at least$2O per member
and great deal Of hard work on the
part Of each one. The following
property has been accumulated; 26
uniforms. 2 tuba horns, 2 baritone
horns, 2 alto horns, 2 tenor horns, 8
comets, l drum and fine repertoire
Of music. The other instruments are
owned by individuals. The following
important engagements have been
filled: Decoration day, July 4th and
Populist State convention, Abilene
State Firemen's tournament, Topeka
Priests Of Pallas parade, Kansas City.
During the summer months the
band has been self supporting, secur-
ing the necessary funds by series Of
open air concerts, given every Friday
evening beginning May % and ending
Oct. p. 1t has managing commit
tee of F. B. Glimpse, Albert Lenzt
and j. T. Hornaday which is endeav
oring to fit up rooms and keep the
boys at work all winter. Three pub
lie concerts are also contemplated
The city should give hearty encour
