Jaeger Fixed It Up.

The Hope war ended in Quinn's
court by a compromise. Charles
Jaeger, the defendant, hit A. Hen
quenet over the head with hoe ham
die last week in the course Of quarrel.
Henquenet reciprocated with a club
but got the worst of it, the result be-
ing that he had Jaeger arrested for
assault with intent to kill. Jaeger
finally agreed to pay costs and the
complaint was changed to simple
assault. He was fined 81 and costs,

H00D00 STILL WORKS.
Bill Nixon Is Turned Down for State
Grain Inspector.

The last OF the list Of Dickinson
county applicants for positions under
the Populist administration, W. l..
Nixon for state grain inspector, has
has Joined the other lonesome pa
triots. The governor appointed W.
W. Culver Of Barton county to the
place Friday. Bill has raced the
county over for two years now in an
ticipation Of the job. He has spent
hard.earned money going to Topeka
at intervals all winter. About two
weeks ago he received letter telling
him to come again and away he went.
He returned with smile on his face.
"It's all right" he announced. 1t
was not all right. 1t never was all
right. There never was show for
him to win. The other Dickinson
Pops all said so when Bill was not
around. They laughed at his canvass
and while jollying him up quietly
stuck dirk in where it would do the
most good. So there they are: Nixon
Cranston, Andrews, Palmer, Lamb,
Dahlstrom, Campbell and the rest
all left. Dickinson got absolutely
nothing, probably the only county in
the state to be left out The reason
is hard to find. Some think it is be-
cause Ed Little is charged to this
county but he says not. 1t is prob
ably because Of the antagonisms be-
tween the candidates and the knifng
Of one another.
"You Republicans shut up" snarls
the Monitor this week, "we will take
care Of our own appointments our
selves" The Monitors way Of caring
for Dickinson appointments is to hus-
tie for the candidates for other coun-
ties and its influence along that line
has probably done more to turn down
Dickinson applicants than any other.
1t has indicated that the Dickinson
candidates did not stand well with
the party at home and that settled it.
Well boys, there are enough Of you
to form lodge Of the Independent
Order Of Got Let's. Get out and hus-
tie for the reelection Of dear good
Brother Leedy, "the broad gauged
statesman" in 1898 and maybe, if
you are very good, you may get
guardship in the pen next time.

CUT DOWN EDS SALARY.

Among the closing acts of the leg
islature was the cutting down of a
number Of salaries of state house en-

$4,000 to $1,000. The supreme court
reporter is cut from $4,000 to $1,S00
and the assistant reporters from

affected 7. 4. Dewey did he still hold
the position but the court kindly
saved him the trouble by letting him
out March 1st. Justice Aliens son
succeeds him as assistant reporter.

GAVE A FAREWELL.
Polymnias Entertain in Honor Of
Their Departing Leader.

The Polymnia club gave farewell
reception last Monday for DR.. and Mrs.
Hewett at the home Of Miss Kirby.
The reception was one Of the most
delightful affairs Of the season and
the so members of Abilene's popular
and successful musical organization
with their husbands and sweethearts
had a very pleasant evening.
The gathering was in the nature Of
a farewell to Mrs Hewett, who since
the clubs organization four years ago
has been its directress and the lead
ing spirit in its work. The club is
the most successful musical organiza-
tion the city ever had and has done
much for the pleasure and improve
ment Of the members as well as for
the entertainment Of all who have
listened TO its delightful music. To
her is due much praise for this and
Abilene as well as the club members
will ever appreciate her work in this
direction. Something Of all this was
expressed by Mrs. II. j. Hodge when
she made last evening brief address
to Mrs. Hewett and presented to her
a handsome piece Of embroidery and
gold pin which will ever remind her
Of her Abilene friends. Mrs. Hewett
ieelingly responded and said pleasant
words in recognition Of the clubs re-
membrance.
Following was the musical program.

The great disparity between the
banking facilities is seen at a glance.
The six New England states, with an
estimated population 1890 of $780,
900, possess nearly $40 per capita; the
10 southern states, with 10000, 900
population, show barely $18 per capita,
or % per cent Of the former. Including
savings banks and loan and trust com
panies the ratio is materially reduced,
the south showing only z per cent Of the
amount given for New England. An
alyzing the items given in the last COL
uInn, as stated in the comptroller's ia
BILE, it is found that tho states and ter
ritories representing 20 per cent Of the
population have less than S3 per cent Of
the entire banking power, estimated at
SO, 700, 900, 00O.-Maurice L. Muhleman

A DIFFICULT OPERATION.
Dr. c. c. Godfrey Removes Sarcoma

Dr. c. c. Godfrey Removes Sarcoma
 From A. A. Skaats.
 A very difficult operation was per formed in Stratford on Saturday last by Dr. c. c. Godfrey, assisted by Dr. c. l.. Banks, on Abram A. Skaats, a well known resident of Stratford, who re- sides on Old Mill Hill road. MT. Skaats Is familiar figure on the streets of Bridgeport, owing to an immense sar- coma which had grown on his right jaw just below the ear. He has been af- flicted by it for the past fifteen years. He seemed to have dread of having it operated on, despite the advice of his many friends, and for the past two years 1t has been very unsightly ob- ject.
 Lately it began to grow at a very rapid rate and MT. Skaats saw that if he did not have it removed it would end his life. It was impossible to re- move the growth without entailing a great loss of blood. The patient has been confined to his bed ever since it took place, and it Is as yet problemati- cal whether he will survive the opera tion.-Bridgeport Post.
