WHEAT IS GOOD.
SOME FIELDS WILL YIELD 40
BUSHELS.
Harvest Is Nearly Over and Thresh-
ers Are Busy at Work-New Grain
Coming Into the Market.

Harvest in Dickinson county is
nearly over and the farmers are on
the whole well satisfied. The yieldi is
better than seemed possible early in
the spring and it will be considerably
larger than last year. Threshers are
running all over the county and a
good deal of new wheat is coming in.
That which has been marketed is
nearly all from the bottoms. The
dealers say the quality is far better
than last year and it is estimated that
there will be considerably larger
yield in the county than last year.
Cooper T. White are nearly through
threshiug and are getting a yield of
nearly 80 bushels. 0. M. Keats at
the fair grounds farm got 80 bushels.
S. Bricker's upland field yielded
nearly 80 bushels. There are some
fields in the county that will give 40
bushels.
With the grain bringing so cents
bushel Dickinson county is going to
clean up a handsome thing out of its
wheat harvest.

Demerit Marks Will Tell.

After August suspensions will be
things of the past on the Santa F..
Instead of receiving lay off for ten,
twenty, thirty or sixty days, an en-
ploye of the engine or train service
who violates rules, neglects duty or
fails in any manner to carry out his
work properly will be charged with
so many dement's, the number to be
regulated by the gravity ofthe offense.
When the number of dement's reaches
the limit, on some roads so, on others
80, and still on others 100, the en-
ploye is discharged. Discharge I'M
der the system is final. This is now
the rule on the Rock Island. Three
years service without a mark wipes
the record clean.

ABILENE'S SCHOOL BOOKS.
Attorney General Says the Contract
Will Not Hold.

A few days before the new Pop text
book law went into effect Abilene's
schoolboard adopted books for five
years The attorney general says
such contracts are worthless. He
holds that the only thing a board of
education or country schoolboard
could do under the old law was to
adopt books for the time for which
the members were elected to serve as
school officers, and that one set of
officers could not make contract of
that kind that would be binding on
its successors. The assistant attor-
ney general said there were two ways
to proceed to break such contracts
One was for the board of education to
refuse to abide by the provisions of
the contract. Then the trust would
be forced to bring suit to enforce the
contract. The other way was, in case
the board Of education refuses to act,
for a patron of the board to enjoin
the board from complying with the
contract.
He believes that II the boards of
education OF these towns do not at-
tempt to break the contracts the
patrons will step in with injunction
proceedings and, as result, the books
adopted by the state text book com.
mission will 90 into all the schools
the very first year, with the exception
of few counties where county uni
formity was adopted as prescribed by
law.

STOOD UP FOR HERSELF.
An Abilene Girl Held the Hope
Police Force Off.

One of Abiene's wide-awake girls.
Miss Nellie Hadden, had an expert
ence with the Hope police force this
week. She has been conducting a
millinery store there and according to
the Dispatch her landlord refused to
put improvements she wanted on the
store until she paid the back rent,
and she refused to pay the rent until
the improvements were made, con-
sequently there was dead lock. To
break the dead lock the landlord sued
Miss Nellie, she failed to appear, a
judgment was taken, an attachment
issued but Miss Nellie stood off the
constable until train time when she
locked the store and took the train
Tor Abilene to spend the fourth at
home. Not liking this the constable
and landlord entered the building and
took possession of both goods and
building. Our guess is that Miss
MADDEN will win the fight.

SOME COUNTY POLITICS.
Republicans Will Hold Their Con,
vention Next SATURDAY..

The Republicans will hold their
county convention next Saturday, the
primaries being on Thursday. A
large attendance outside the delegates
is assured.
W. H. Staatz of Enterprise seems
to have walkaway for the Republi-
can nomination for county treasurer.
he is a popular and worthy young
man and his nomination will mean
election.
j. r. VanVoorst, of Sherman, is
prominently mentioned for the Re-
publican nomination for register. Mr..
VanVoorst is one OF the countv's
most capable gentlemen and will be
a winner.
R. B. Jacobs candidacy for county
clerk seems to be meeting with great
favor all over the county.
E. 5. Thayer having made other
business arrangements has decided
not to be candidate for the nom
ination for sheriff. Mr.. Thayer's
wide acquaintance and popularity
would have made him formidable
candidate for the place but it is never
wise, in his opinion, to let politics in
terfere with business. j. B. Favor
and j. A. Hopkins are the two caudi-
dates for the nomination.
+. +. Munsell and W. &. Lewis are
the high school trustee candidates.
A. c. Romig will be reelected
unanimously.
There is good job open for any
body who wants to run for coroner.
This office frequently pays as much
as $l.5O year and Coroner Shepherd
will amass fortune out of it il he
lives long enough and does not spend
any of his salary However by a
hard fight he can probably be defeat
ed and the princely job be secured
for Republican.
The Democrat says that certain
Democrats of the county want Bates
to withdraw and put Glenn in for
register on the Pop ticket. The
Democrat says this would be the bas-
est kind Of trucking to Pop bossism
and that it will not be done. Besides
tfat Mr.. Bates would would have TO
be consulted. A straight Democratic
ticket will be named.
