hands in its operation, and is one Of
the enterprises that make Abilene so
prosperous today. The product Of
this mill is several excellent brands Of
flour, the "Imperial," "Leader" and
GOOD Luck" being among the leaders
and without superior in the west.
This firm has handled 100000 bush.
els Of grain since January LIST, 1897,
and informs the special reporter that
much Of the Russian and Hungarian
wheat grown here is q prime No. /
and that most Of the wheat grown
here is good quality. Shipments
are made from this mill from Colora-
do to Maine and from Iowa to Georgia.
Preparations are being made to en-
large and increase the mill to almost
double its present capacity. Messrs.
Stoddard and Flenner are both practi-
cal millers and show their apprecia-
ton OF patronage in a manner that
when "once a customer always a
customer" of this mill. Graham flour,
corn meal, chops, feed, etc. in any
quantities and exchange custom work
are among the many special features
of this mill.
A. B. ROSE,
present owner Of the Hamaker old
stand, has one of the most complete
and select stocks Of dry goods. dress
novelties, shoes, cloaks, gents fur
nishing goods and underwear in the
county if not in central Kansas. This
is the Oldest dry goods stand in Abb
lene and the present owner, Mr.. Rose,
will undertake to maintain the repu-
tation of this old stand in the most
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Rose has
had twenty years of experience in the
mercantile business and for a number
of years was in the wholesale dry
goods house Of Carson, Prize, Scott e.
Co., of Chicago giving him the ad-
vantages Of experience acquired by
few men, in the selection of goods and
meeting the public wants, in the var
ious departments Of his extensive
store. Mr.. Rose succeeded to the
present business about year ago,
and the appreciation Of the public is
shown by constant, liberal and in
creasing patronage. These advan.
tages always receive appreciation and
his trade will no doubt continue to
increase.
Mr.. Rose is assisted by Mr.. K. CUT
fin, Mr.. NJ. A. Jolley, Misses Hogan
and Kreider, who are well known to
the public Of this community.
sHEARER THE SHOE MAN,
enjoys most enviable reputation as
a dealer in substantial and stylish
footwear. This magnificent store is
complete in every detail. Nearly
everything handled by MIR. Shearer is
branded under his own name and he
guarantees these goods against tears
or rips in every instance. Mr..
Shearer grew up in the shoe business
and is practical boot and shoe
maker, consequently his judgment Of
stock is excellent, and his goods par
excellence. He buys no goods Of
jobbers but each and every class is
made by reliable factories especially
for him. The special reporter was
shown the various classes and
kinds Of shoes kept by him and the

information regarding the details Of
the shoe business was considerable
and interesting. His stock is not
only complete but the stock is one Of
the largest in central Kansas and an
up to date store in every particular.
The liberal patronage he is receiving
is an indication Of the fair and
courteous treatment accorded to
patrons. His goods being bought at
close prices, the closest margins Of
profits consistent with good business
are accorded the public at this popular
shoe store.
K. L. BROUGHTON,
dealer in pianos, organs, small must
cal merchandise and sewing machines.
He has one of the most complete
stocks in central Kansas, and at prices
and terms to suit purchasers. His
line Of pianos and organs includes the
very best grades manufactured, and
each and every instrument is war;
ranted for a term of years. lnstru-
ments are sold for cash or on the in
stallment plan His stock of small
musical merchandise would do credit
to a much larger city than Abilene
and if he has not in stock the article
wanted will order it at the smallest
possible margin of profit for you. Sew
eral makes of sewing machines are
sold by him and he guarantees them for
a term of five years. No home is
quite complete without a musical in
strument and sewing machine. Mr..
Broughton has been in the music
business here for ten years, and his
present prosperous business is an in
dication of the fair and honorable
treatment he has accorded his pa
irons.

This is one of the most pleasant
and hospitable hotels in the city.
Mrs. Susan Betz, the present mana.

ments are at all times popular and
attractive, but this has especially
struck the popular chord, and old and
young alike agree that this gallery is
the most perfect piece of ingenuity
that has ever been placed before the
amusement loving public. The man.
ufacturer has had several years Of
experience on the road, has carefully
studied the public wants and now Of
fers to fill that long felt want with a
new and novel money maker. Shoot
ing at stationary object with infer
ior rifles or with "changed sights
has grown too old to mention, but
this gallery presents the running
deer, the leaping "jack-rabbit," a
string of ducks, a flying hound, a
white elephant and great variety Of
other birds and beasts. Democratic,
Populist and Republican candidates
chase the "rooster" and q shot brings
up a banner for "free silver" or a
"gold bug" Pigeons are continuous
ly flying through the air, and break
when hit.
To describe the gallery fully would
require several columns Of this paper;
Mr.. Parker will furnish those who
desire to know the particulars Of kinds
and prices with catalogue and descrip-
tive list of the various models of gal
leries manufactured by him. This is
unquestionably one of the best
money-makers in the world. Mr..
Parker also sells "Merry-go-' rounds"
and Barrett organs. The military
band organ is very loud and strong
instrument that will attract lovers of
music anywhere, and under almost
any circumstances. His factory is
behind on filling his orders, and a
large number of men are employed.
Mr.. Parker expects to manufacture a
Merry-go-'r round that will carry fifty
people, can be hauled engine and all
on three wagons, set up in two hours
by two men and will have a galloping
motion instead of the old-fashioned
rocking motion. Gasoline engines
will be used.

JOHNTZ BROS.

| oNAN'N| HAsNb'
The Johntz Bros. Touring mill has
for many years been producing prod
ucts equal to any in the country, with
a capacity Of 250 barrels per day, it is
Que Of our chief productive industries.
The advantages Of mill to the gen.
eral business community are manifest.
1t furnishes the best market for the
wheat product and brings farmers
here as patrons, not only Of the mill
but Of our merchants. Business men
should realize this and by patronizing
and encouraging it make its opera
tions extensive and constant, espec-
tally in view Of the fact that the prod
uct is as good as can be produced by
the best roller process and the latest
machinery. Shipments are extensive
from this mill to Iowa, Louisiana and
Texas, although shipments are made
to many other points. Messrs. Johntz
Bros. were for a number Of years in
the mercantile business here, and ran
an elevator for ten years prior to as
suming the management Of the pres
ent mill. Several brands Of high
grade flour made BY this mill are used
and "none other"
NELLIs & sRENNEMAN
have been conducting their present
business here for eight years and as
the business continues to increase,
they undertake to fill every demand
made upon it. They handle all kinds
of coal at'rock bottom prices, deliver
ice to any part otithe city, and do a
wholesale business in poultry and
eggs. They have shipped about sixty
carloads of poultry and eggs this year
and pay out annually to the farmers
Of this section about $4,000 for this
produce. As they pay the highest
market price in cash for these prod
ucts their business increases every
year, and it is safe to presume that so
long as they continue to engage in the
present business they will have
hearty support and liberal patronage
This is another class of business that
brings in foreign money for home
products.

HOSPITAL WORK
WE'LL STARTED
Miss Alexander Loses No
Time in Beginning
Her Task.
Non-Sectarian Christian Assist
ance to Be Solicited to Make
It a Success.
Something About the Life-WOrk OF
the Lady Who Is Interesting
Herself in the Matter.

Miss |. Alexander yesterday began her
work of agitating the new hospital for in
gent Chinese and received the indorse-
ment in it of Rev Dr. Masters, who gave
her letter of introduction to the Chris
tian people of the City and warmly advo-
Gated her plan. When seen yesterday
Miss Alexander was losing no time AID
showed that she was no novice in the mat
ter of working in good cause. She hopes
to get such support from the various
churches and Christian Endeavor socie-
ties that she will raise a sufficient fund to
rent a suitable house and support the pa
tients. She expects to have the services
OF the physician donated and will give her
own time without charge to looking after
the hospital.
The ministers of Toronto, where she was
identified for years IN mission worK, give
her high praise for her indetatigaole Ia
bors in that city, and when the st. An
drews Institute was dedicated there seven
years ago, she was given all tne credit tor
the inception and com pletlon of the mag
niticent building. Twenty years ago Miss
Alexander began mission school in the
worst part OF the city of Toronto and from
her efforts grew the school which Is now
maintained by the churches OF that city.
At that time it required no little courage
for a woman 10 enter into the district
where the school was established, for the
place was known to the papers and police
as the resort of the toughest and lowest
characters of the vicinity. But the houses
were full of children, big and little, and
for their sakes, Miss Alexander resolved to
undertake the work. difficult and unpleas-
ant-even dangerous-as it might be.
How she succeeded there was told at the
dedication of the building, and now she
has come to San Francisco to give the
same energy and will to the work of ele-
vating the Chinese. She has been here
but four years, all told, and in that time
she has seen much OF the suffering and
horrible cruelties to which INDECENT Chi
nese of all ages and cexes have been sub
jected, and will now devote her time to
the establishing of a place where they can
be cared for properly and saved from the
terrible fate which has befaiIeH so many
of them.
During the past three years she has
known of many deaths occurring in those
places called Chambers of Tranquility.
She has been instrumental in saving sew
eral who have been placed there to die,
and through her efforts many rescues
have been made by workers OF the various
missions in this City. She is entirely nom
sectarian in her work and desires that the
hospital shall be OF the same character.
The Presbyterians and the Meth odists
have 'ssion-houses, where the Chinese
girls and women are cared for, but there
is no place where the INDECENT sick can re-
GIVE attention, and she hopes to have all
the various workers help in esta blishing
such q place
