ABSOLUTELY PURE
DIED RIPE IN YEARS.
Rev. John Allison Passes Into the
Sleep Of Death.


After long illness in which
strength has gradually ebbed Rev.
John Allison of this city passed away
from life at 9:l5 Monday evening. he
met death bravcly and went to his
reward. Rev. Mr. Ellison was born
January 26, 1878, in Lancaster coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, and was married TO
Elizabeth Hamakcr in 1887. For 0S
years they lived in happiness to-
gether, coming to Kansas in 1878 and
settling in Clay county and ten years
later coming to Abilene. The faith
ful wife preceded her husband to the
better land by only nine months. Mr.
Allison was for So years a minister OF
the River Brethren church and was
one Of the first Of that faith to come
to Kansas in whicn he had the utmost
confidence. His Christian character
was above reproach, always firm up
lifting and serene; he was strong IN
his convictions and zeal lessened not
with advancing years but his faith
was as firm as ever up to the hour OF
his death when his sanity spirit de-
parted. His life was worthy and he
had the respect Of all.
Five children mourn the decease OF
a loved parent' Aaron Allison and
Jacob Allison Of this city, Samuel
Allison Of Clay Center and Mrs. G. NJ
johnson OF Plainville, Kas. Samuel
and his wife arrived today. Another
son is in the South.
Funeral services held at the homeon
North Cedar at Up. m. Wednesday and
later at River Brethren church, Elders
Zook and Engle oiliciated and the
interment was In Abilene cemetery.

BETTER PAY UP.
No Use Kicking on Such Flimsy
Excuses.

Some Abilene men are trying to
kick out of their bets on what seems
to be a very flimsy reason. Two
notices were served on shareholders
yesterday not to give up bets for the
present and not until after the meet
ing of the electoral college. The
bets were that Bryan would not get
the electoral vote Of Kansas. Now it
is very apparent that Bryan carried
Kansas, but there is some hair-split-
ting, and q betting man generally
catches a straw. 1t seems that some
body has made a claim that George l.
Pitts, Of Wellington, who was chosen
as an elector, is not eligible for that
position and hence cannot serve in
the electoral college. The claim Is
made that the electoral vote OF Kan
sas means the entire ten votes OF the
state and that II Bryan does not get
them all he will not have received
the electoral vote according to the
terms OF the bet. Some claim that
when a man bets that Bryan gets the
electoral vote Of the state he gets 1t
unless Mckinley gets, any part OF
1t, and in this case 1t is hard to say
that Mckinley has any vote unless the
highest elector on the Republican
ticket be declared elected in place OF
Mr.. Pitts. II such should happen to
be the case the theory is that the
man who bet on Bryan would win
nine.tenths Of the bet. This Is not
conceded by the fellow on the other
side, who claims that the man who
bet on Bryan had all the electors
Others think that in such conting-
ency the bet would be a draw nobody
having won it.
Better pay up, boys. 1t never pays
to kick on that kind Of himsy excuses.
Take your medicine. MIR. Pitts will
probably be allowed to vote with the
rest Of the Bryan electors.

tensions to be paid for on the same
basis. This agreement must not
abrogate any clause Of the existing
contract but be made a part OF the
same. In view Of this very liberal
concession the city should show a
spirit Of appreciation by reducing the
taxes on this plant"
Mr.. Rogers writes, telling OF the
financial condition Of the plant. He
saws the revenue received outside the
city rental exceeds the cost Of main
tenance and operation by $275,not in
cluding managers salary or officers
expenses. This would give surplus
of $4,275 while the interest on the
bonds $4,000 at 6 per cent would be
$4,000. He says the bond holders
have $15O,OOO invested, that they
have spent $4,000 for repairs in a
year and the Sand Springs extension
cost nearly $4,000. He says that OF
the 81, 266 taxes paid for 1896, $4l5.4o
was for city tax and $2S4.4O school
tax and reverted to those from whom
the company received it. He thinks
reducing the rental one-third is very
generous and suggests that holders Of
the city bonds also reduce their in
terest one-third. He then presents
an argument that it is not fair for the
water company to share the city's
depression when the bondholder does
not, concluding with the opinion that
the proposed rate Of $4,000 is "ex-
ceedingly just"
WILL MAKE A REPLY.
The council ordered the city clerk
and attorney to prepare as a reply a
detailed statement Of the city's con.
dition financially to Offset the water
compsny's statement This will show
valuation, tax rates, revenue, ex-
penditures and details Of demands on
its revenue for five years. This
will be submitted to the company to
show what it is possible to do.
The council will meet Nov. 2S to
discuss the matter further.
