MUSTARD WANTS IT.
Dickinson Boy Would Like to Be
State Superintendent.

The Topeka Cooperator, Pop, has
this special correspondence from En-
terprise:
Friends Of John H. Mustard, of this
county, (Dickinson) have prevailed
upon him to consent to be a candi-
date for nomination for state superin-
tendent of public instruction upon the
Peoples Party ticket. Mr.. Mustard is
a graduate Of our State University, is
held in high esteem as an educator
throughout this part Of the State, is a
pronounced reformer and exception
ally well versed upon economic SUBJ
jects. The state Of Kansas would be
most fortunate in having for its state
superintendent man with the excel
lent educational qualifications, the
sterling character, the broad and pro-
gressive views that Mr.. Mustard has.
This is a new aspiration for our
mild-mannered friend with the blonde
moustache. By the way, John will
have to dye that gold-bug hirsute
growth Of his If he expects to catch
silver votes.

SCARED AT TIE PONY.
Jacob Wahl and Wife Have q Serious
Runaway.

The pretty black and white pony
in which the children Of Dr.. Berg
stresser take so much pride was the
innocent cause OF a bad runaway
about noon. The pony was tethered
in the road at the Bergstresser home
on North Cedar when Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Wahl drove up the street. A block
away their horse became frightened
and turned around four times in the
shortest possible space. Mr.. Wahl
was thrown out at the first turn and
the buggy ran over bis legs. Mrs.
Wahl remained in until the last turn
when the vehicle was run up on the
schoolyard terrace, overturning it and
giving her a hard fall. Mr.. Wahl was
taken home unconscious.
Their injuries are not dangerous,
being chiefly bruises.

1t speaks for itself. The running
gear is green-brown but the body is
wine color with black, gold and tinted
letters and decorations which are to-
ge ther with the ornaments as pretty
piece Of carriage painting as one
could wish to see. 1t is credit to
the city to have such work turned out
here and proves that good work is
appreciated. There is no need Of
sending away for the very best work
in this line. T. w. Deafenbaugh can

Wants a Divorce.

Mrs. Augusta Morris has brought a
suit for divorce against her husband,
John P. Morris. She says they were
married ten years ago and afterwaad

sent her with their five children back
to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Pooler, in this county and she has not
heard from him since. Three Of the
children are in a charity institution
in Iowa, she being unable to keep the
family together. She further says
that John has conducted himself in a
frisky and unparliamentary way with
an Oklahoma maiden which is very
agonizing to his wife. She asks the

tion Of her maiden name, Augusta

LANDMARKS GOING.
ANOTHER FIRE CLEANS OUT
An 0LD-TINER.
One Of the Texas Row Relics Of the
Cattle Days Il Burnsd-Six
Sections Of Hose Bursted-Loss Il
Light.

One by one Abilene's relics Of the
old days are passing away. About
the only reminder of those times is
found in Texas row, formally known
as A street, and each year takes from
it some Of its glory. About 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning fire broke out on the
street west Of the Pearl building and
before the fire department could
catch up with the flames the Pearl
and the building on the west used as
a boiler shop by Tim Hinshon were
gutted. The Pearl was occupied as
refreshment establishment and con-
tanned a choice collection Of those
things that cheer mankind. None OF
the contents was saved. Hinshon
saved some Of his material but lot
Of fine and expensive tools were lost
through the fire and the gobbling
propensities Of the crowd. Through
failure to telephone to Sand Springs
water station the tire pressure was
slow In getting here and when it
came it was too much for the hose.
The effect was to burst six sections
before one could be found that would
stand it. By reason Of this the fire
gained more headway than it would
otherwise have done.
The Pearl building was owned by
C. T. Estes, loss about $3.50, no in
surance.
The Pearl building used to belong
to Auntie Philips and before that was
high-toned rendezvous Of the
cowboys when Abilene was in her
glory. Its history, il it could all be
known, would be a record Of wild and
woody doings that would rival the
liveliest dime novels. A few more
fires and there will be nothing left on
Abilene's xtreets to remind Of the
cattle days,

DISCUSSING DANCING.
Evangelist Sims Takes q Turn at the
Ball Room.

The lecture in the tent last even
ing on "From the Ball Room to He'll"
by Evangelist Sims was well attended
although an admission price Of 10
cents was charged and the night was
oppressively warm. The speaker
made strong talk on the evils OF
dancing, particularly as applied to
church members. He said that II a
person was; in the world then he
might be expected to indulge in
worldly things but when he joined
the church it was his duty toaput
away those things which bear the ap-
pearance Of evil. He discussed at
length the tendency Of dancing, CIV
ing statistics, to show that 1t leads to
generalization Of character and
handled without gloves some OF the
ball room attendants.
The dancing church member was
declared a hindrance to the advance
ment Of the church, stumbling
block to the cause Of Christ and for
this class the lecture was chiefly in
tended. He intimated rather strong
ly that no member OF his church
could dance and stay inside the fold.
There were many humorous anecdotes
and the congregation was kept in
good humor constantly. The next
lecture to be announced later will be
on "Euchre, Seven-Up and High
Five"
The subject for tonight will be,
God Is Love-" All are invited.

COMING TO THE FORT.
Mckinley viii visit Fort Riley Late
In August.

Junction City Union: Everything
begins to look like q visit Of Major
William Mckinley to Fort Riley
Steps looking to such a visit were
taken when the Mckinley club was
organized a few weeks ago. Since
then much effective work has been
done by Major Davidson, president Of
the club; by the committee, and other
citizens and gentlemen out over the
Fifth district. In fact friends Of Fort
Riley in many places are adding
strength to the invitation extended to
the coming president Of this great Re-
public. Ohio men close to Mckinley,
veterans who "touched elbows" with
him, and personal friends Of bis are
urging visit to the greatest military
reservation Of the nation.
When Governor Grosvenor Of Ohio
was in Manhattan, Major Davidson
and Congressman Calderhead spent q
half hour with him in talking Of the
proposed visit. 1t appealed to the
Ohio man as beinga most capitalidea,
and be assured Major Davidson that
II Mckinley went into Kansas to
attend the soldiers meeting late In
August that the people Of Central and
Western Kansas might expect himto
extend his run to Fort Riley.
Should Mckinley visit Fort Riley,
it will probably be about the time Of
the proposed fall manoeuvres in which
the Department Of the Missouri will
participate, and will be the occasion
Of the greatest military demonstration
Kansas has ever seen. Colonel
Arnold, Major Randolph and the other
officers Of Fort Riley will enter heart
lily into the scheme. As a rule, we
believe the people Of Junction City
have been slumbering In regard to,
this matter, but, for all that, the
right kind Of work is being done.
A visit from Mckinley will bring
10000 visitors to Fort Riley. There
are ample room and accommodations
there for twice that many people,
and there will be no "keep-off-the-
grass" orders issued on that day. 1t
will be the occasion OF one of the
greatest picnic dinner celebrations
ever witnessed in the West. Excur-
sions from all over the central and
western portions of the state will be
run to Fort Riley. OF itself, look
at the post will be great attraction.

HOPE BANK RELICS.
One Of the Old Robinson Notes Il in
Court.


An appeal was today filed in dis
trict court from Judge Bucks justice
court in Herington in which +. D.
Carman is plaintiff and John Craw-
ford, a farmer Of Rhodes, defendant.
1t is on note given W. P. Robinson
Of the Hope bank in 1891. Something
was paid on it, leaving 1928 due.
Carman became its owner and secured
judgment the other day against Craw-
ford.
The latter appealed on the ground
that at the time it was due he was
ready to pay it but the note could
not be found, further that the note
was not properly advertised and sold
by the receiver Of the bank. This is
but one Of a large number Of notes
held in the same way, having come
into the hands Of the present holders
as part Of the assets Of the bank. In
some cases nothing can be collected
even il judgment is secured, in others
suits will probably be brought II this
is successful.
