HORSE AND CART SMASHED.
An Enterprise Rig Meets With Over
whelming Disaster.

Walter Ehrsam and WILDER Hargcr
drove up from Enterprise Saturday
evening with Walters horse and cart.
The horse slipped its bride aud then
started homeward on the Union Pacific
track, disputing the right-of-way with
the westbound midnight passenger
train about three miles east of town.
The animal had become loose in the
early evening and wandered around
town before starting home. 1t passed
one culvert and fell into the second
and so remained until the train came,
its owner meanwhile having been
searching in vain for the rig.
When the train reached Abilene one
of the wheels hung on the flagstaff on
the engine pilot and scattered over
the locomotive was evidence OF a
bloody encounter The remains Of
the rig were found beside the track
Sunday, and an inspector came down
from Salina to look the situation over.
The train did not stop when the col
lisiOn occurred.

Enjoyable Musical Recital.

Miss Grace Kugler, with number
Of her pupils, gave delightful recital
at her home in Buckeye Saturday
afternoon. She had divided her class
in three parts and each gave recital,
this being the last of the series.
The program consisted of vocal and
instrumental music on piano and
organ, also several well delivered
readings which were by Miss Carrie

part in pleasing manner. Consider
ing the time they have studied they
did remarkably well which speaks
volumes for the teachers work,
After the program refreshments
were served and all had an enjoyable
time.

PREACHED ON SCHOOLS.
Lutherans and Methodists Listen to
Educational Addresses.

AT the Lutheran church last even
ing Rev. DIR. Haithcox began series
Of sermons on topics of interest to the
town with an address on "Our
Schools" He discussed most inter.
estingly the Importance Of education
and the relation Of pupil to teacher,
giving statistics as to the work Of the
schools. A large congregation en-
joyed the sermon.
AT the Methodist church two inter-
esting addresses were made on educa-
tional topics. Rev. Mr.. Crawford
gave a sermon on school work and
supt. J. H. Niesley gave helpful
talk showing how the patrons should
be interested in the schools as much
as the scholars.
Such special topics are deserving Of
praise and do much good.

PLENTY OF SHOWS COMING.
Good Times Will Be Marked With
Better Attractions.

The opera house will have the best
line Of entertainments this season
given in several years, one effect of
the return Of better times.
The season will open with one
weeks engagement of the famous
Spooner comedy company, beginning
next Monday, Sept. l3. This is one
Of the best repertoire companies in
the west and always plays to large
houses in the cities where 1t appears.
Abilene will not be disappointed in its
work.
The Sharpley Lyceum company
will also play week commencing
Oct. IS.
Frank +. Long, the eminent actor,
will be here for week, giving such
PLAYS as, 1.-The Middle Man." PARA
disc Lost etc.
An excellent minstrel show will be
here in October
The "Black Crook" will present its
attractions in January.
"A Midnight Special" is booked
for Nov. 2.
"Fabio Romano" will be here in
February.
"A Breezy Time" is listed for Jan
uary.
There are also others. The town
had plenty Of cash to accommodate a
good ball season and there seems no
reason why it should not patronize
well good show season. The man.
agement is proceeding on the theory
that the people are willing to pay for
good attractions and will give them
such shows as are worthy 1t means
a successful show season.

MANY TAXES REDEEMED.
Delinquent Sale Was Cut Short This
Year.

The annual sale of lands on which
taxes are delinquent was held this
morning at the county treasurer's
office. Owing to the large amount of
property on which the taxes have been
paid since the beginning of the adver-
tising of the list there was but por-
ton left to sell. One whole township
was redeemed in this way. This
speaks well for the prosperity of the
county and shows that the people are
in improving financial condition.
The good prices for wheat and the
large crop have enabled the taxpayers
to meet obligations more fully than
for several years.

ANOTHER WRONG RULE.
Text. Book Commission Makes Some
Strange Conditions.

One of the rules of exchanging
books fixed by the textbook commits
sion is making good deal of hard
feeling. 1t is that no books can be
exchanged except those used in the
schools Of the district last year. Fam
lilies who have moved in during the
year can exchange no books if they
have different series; but if they were
in their former county they could ex-
change. Yet all the books are shipped
to Topeka and it makes no difference
what the kinds are. The commission
had no warrant in the law for such a
rule and it is one of the Pops way of
being mean.

BOYLE SAYS DON'T.
Attorney Generals Notice on Text
Book Changes.

Clerk Brewer Of the board Of educa-
tion has received this notice regard
ing changing textbooks:
The new school textbook law, Ch.
l79, Laws Of 1897, Sec. Is, specifically
excerpts from the operation Of its pro-
visions all school districts having con.
tracts under the old law providing
for district uniformity, thereby recog-
nizing the validity Of such contracts.
! am Of the opinion that all school
districts having such contracts in
writing must continue the use Of the
books designated therein until the ex.
piraton thereof.
II you have a contract with a book
firm, better not make the exchange
until this matter is settled by the
courts. l.. G. BOYLE,

MONEY TO BURN.
Rush County Seems to Have Free
Coinage of Wheat,

J. S. Hollinger returned this morn
ing from Rush county where he went
on lister drill business. He says he
never saw such wheat production as
that section is boasting. Rush had
1885, acres Of wheat; it has sold
100000 bushels for which it received
about 5000, 900 and has one million
bushels left. The merchants are tired
out waiting on customers and the
implement dealers are really weary
of setting up new machinery. This
is surely western Kansas innings

SAVING ON BOOKS.
Echoolboard's Contract Makes an I'm
portant Saving.

The new contract made by the
schoolboard last spring practically
took effect today, as it was not until
the opening Of school that pur bases
were necessary. The contract secures
the books much lower than they were
ever obtained in the city, and when
it is considered that the quality of the
books is much better than the state
books and that the high school text
books which are not included in the
state list are also covered by the con-
tract and secured at low rate, the
saving is really more than it would
have been under the state books, TO
say nothing of the advantage Of not
having to makea sweeping change at
this time.
The book store has been made the
depository for the city books and
handles them at the same per cent
profit as are handled the state books,
10 per cent. Five per cent is also al
lowed for freight. The prices at
which the books are now sold and the
old prices are:

WITH BOOK and SLATE
SCHOOL RE0pENS AND LITTLE
FOLKS REJOICE.
Clean Buildings and Attractive Sur
roundings for the Pupils Of the
City-Largs Attendance on All
the Departments.

Long lines Of bright faced boys and
girls we're ready to march when the
.last bell' rang this morning for
school and they took their places with
much glee. They had new states.
new pencils, new sponges and new
tablets-but not new books. They
found the school rooms pretier than
ever. In the Garfield building walls
had been cleaned, blackboards i'm
proved and everything put in apple
pie order. The Lincoln building had
been repapered throughout and the
grounds which were once laughed at
good deal have become under the
care of Janitor Judy among the most
beautiful in the state. Indeed they
will be the prettiest park in the city
one of these days. There have also
5 been improvements on the high
school building and schools start
out most auspiciously.
Supt. Niesley was the busiest man
in town. His plans were however so
well perfected that everything moved
without friction. The teachers were
located as follows:
High school-W. H. Wagner, prin-
cipal; Margaret Wilson, Rev. DR..
Blayney.
Garfeld-W. H. Phipps, principal;
Addie Over 2. Jessie Thayer 8, Lois
Mutt 4, Mary Lesker 8, Beatrice War
ing 6, Daisy Ballet I, Anna Elston s,
Lille Jackson 8, Bertha Perring TO-
Lincoln-V. E. Rugh, principal;
Emma Hasshagen 2, Bertha Jacobs 3,
Nettie Geauque 4.
There will be but four examinations
this year, instead Of eight as hereto
fore. This is step in the right
direction and will save much valuable
time. Several changes have been
been made in rules which will tend to
give better work and better dis
cipline.
Cards will be marked from the
pupils class work and attendance
monthly and sent to parents as
before.
The enrolment was: High school
1856, Garfield building 50S, Lincoln
building l54. This is a few more
than the opening of last year and 80
to 100 less than the full enrolment.
