FIGHTING THE MACHINE
1t Is now supreme issue between the

represents practically all the rank and

1t Is simply guess-worls. 1t will take
the election TO show the true state of

DON'T SEND OUT TICKETS.
The s!owness OF all the parties in
sending out their election tickets this
year Is remarkable. 1t seems astonish-
ing that they can all lie delivered i'm time
1t has been charged that the Populists
did not care whether all theirs got out

Will r., Lucy Emily and Perez. His
mother lives here also. There are
three brothers, W. r. Pitts Of
Honeoye, N. r., ,. B. Pitts Of Can.
andsigua. N. Y, and Chas. r. Pitts
Of Navarro, this county. The eastern
relatives were visited for a month
last summer by the deceased and bis
wife.
In social, business, and iraternal
circles Of the city Mr.. Pitts was
prominent. He has been councilman
from the Third ward for four years
and has been one OF the best officers
the city ever had. He was leading
Workman, being P. M. W. Of Abilene
lodge, A. 0. U. W., and was. also
prominent as a member Of the
n
Modern Woodmen and Degree OF
Honor.
RESPECTED BY ALL.
The death OF Mr.. Pitts was a terri
Bile blow to his family. The wife left
without the firm arm which so
strongly sustained her, the children
without the kind father whose tender
ness and care made their ways pleas
ant ones, the mother grieving for her
boy, have the heartfelt sympathy Of
all. The deceased had no enemies
he could have none. Out Of bis
brave manly heart flowed only tender
ness and good cheer. Ever eager to
help the fallen, to LIT up the depress-
cd, to encourage the successful, he
lived life which all might honor. A
close personal friendship Of many
years revealed naught but the most
manly traits while it also showed how
wide was the circle Of his beneticence
and charity, Sorrow broods in the
hearts Of all who knew him. Heaven
is richer and earth is poorer for the
sad accident Of the early morning
which took from our midst a man OF
sterling worth, Of true Christian char
acter, Of unblemished life.
FUNERAL SERVICES.
Funeral services will be held at the
home on East Sixth at o'clock
Friday afternoon. Rev. DIR. Blayney
will ohiciate and the lodges Of which
he was a member will attend in a

W. Danley, died in her home in
Olathe, Kas., Oct. "a. The news of
her death will come as great shock
as well as the cause of profound sor-

a member Of the M. E. church and
W. R. c. during her residence in abb
lene and was a woman of lovable and
gentle character and her acquaint-
ances remained her friends through
life. The sympathy Of this commun-

band and her two children, Royal and

SANTA FE's NEW CARD.
Sweeping Changes In the Lines That
Run Through Dickinson.

The new winter time card on the
Santa Fe which will 60 into effect
November 4 will cause a change in
the time Of trains on the Superior
branch. The passenger trains
which are now running through from
Strong City to Superior, Neb., and
return, will under the new time card
run from Strong City only as far as
Concordia and return.
The train will leave Concordia at
9 a. IN. and arrive in Strong City at
l:2O P. M; returning leave Strong
City at 2:45 p. m. and arrives in
Concordia at 7:05 p. m. The mixed
train will under the new card leave
Strong City at 9 a. M. instead Of $3.50
a. M. and arrive in Superior at 9:2O
p. m. instead $3.50 p. m. The mixed
train from Superior to Strong City
will run on the same time as at
present.
The passenger train will 60 south at
Abilene at 1880 a. m. and north at
500 P. m; freight south at 2;l5 p. m.
and north at l;45 p. m.
On the Salina branch the passenger
train which leaves Abilene in the
morning and Salina in the after
noon will under the new card be dis
continued. The one mixed train will
leave Abilene at 500 p. M. and arrive
in Salina at 6:25 p. M; returning,
leave Salina at 9:S5 a. M. and arrive
Abilene at 1880 a. m.
On the Minneapolis branch the
passenger train which leaves
Manchester in the morning and
Barnard in the evening will under the
new card be discontinued. The one
mixed train will leave Manchester at
$40 p. M, and arrive in Barnard at
$3.50 P. NJ; returning, leave Barnard
at 1880 a. M, and arrive in Manches-
at 1915 a. m.
1t should be said that the new card
is an experiment and may be dscon-
tinued if not satisfactory. 1t will
give Abilene the trade of 40 miles of
territory north now going to Mime
apolis and Concordia and lose little
south territory. None Of the Santa
Fe families will leave the city this
winter and probably not at all.

attack on Ralph Dyer is that when
teaching one Of his schools he acted
as "janitor" as well as teacher. or

did his work we'll too, which shows
his true worth and manliness. The
young man too proud to do janitor

Death IN 7HE Mill.
P. R. PITTS MEETS A FEARFUL
FATE.
While Working on the Machinery in
the Basement He Is Caught by a
Belt and Instantly Killsd-Ths
City Loses a Worthy Citizen and .
Noble Man.

With fearful suddcnness and in a
terrible guise death snatched from
earth Thursday a. m. man whom all
respected and honored, as true a gen
tleman and worthy citizen as ever
lived, Perez r. Pitts. At 7:l5 q. m.
he while placinga belt on the running
machinery in the City mills he was
caught by the belt and killed by be-
ing bound to the rapidly revolving
shaft.
now DEATH CAME.
Mr.. Pitts came to the mills about 7
a. m. s. A. Flenner was there, and
they met on the ground floor. Mr..
Flenner then went to second floor to
look after some slides while Mr.. Pitts
stepped down the stairway to the
basement to oil the rapidly whirling
machinery and put on long belt
which ran from the power shaft to
elevator machinery. There death
came to him. He was alone but the
story was evident. He had set down
his oil can and placed one arm around
the belt to push it on the pulley when
bis coat sleeve was caught and he was
dragged backward over the shaft
turning at the rate Of 1888 revolutions
a minute and bound by fifty feet Of
heavy betting which twisted about
him. Mr.. Flenner two minutes later,
coming down from the second floor to
the ground floor, smelled the burning
belt, saw something was wrong, shut
of the mill and hurried to the base
ment where he found the dead body
Of his friend and partner. The alarm
was soon given and kind hands loos-
ened the betting, took out the body,
bruised, with many bones broken,
and carried it to Eicholtz's under
taking rooms.
Coroner J. M. Shepherd summoned
the following jury: J. 7. Hornaday,
