TRAMpS MAKE TROUBLE.
Trainmcn Injure One While Trying

Special 10 the Reflector,
SOLOMON. June l5.-The frequent
visit of tramps to this city had
serious result this morning
The west bound Union Pacific
freight found when it reached Solomon
this morning that there were about 80
tramps anxious for a ride loafng
around the depot. The train men
tried to keep them off the train, but
were too few for the tramps, To
evade them the train was backed down
the track half mile and then rushed
through at full speed. One tramp
was determined to ride anyhow and
tried to get aboard, with the result
that he slipped and had one leg
caught under the wheels, necessitating
below the knee. Then
the train went on unmolested. The
injured man claims that he has q
brother at Akron, Ohio, and says his
name is Edward Nee.

Use the Parks,

Why is it necessary for those who
desire to hear the fine band concerts
given each Friday evening to stand in
long tired-looking crowds on the side
walks and in the streets. Hundreds
of people do this for an hour and a
half. This town has two parks cen
trally located and with a very little
expense seats could be arranged under
the trees where people could sit and
visit and have a truly enjoyable time.
The mothers who dread walking
downtown with the children and
standing for over an hour on the side
walk at the end Of a long summer
day would appreciate the courtesy.
The city or the businessmen would
make a good investment by fitting up
one Of the parks for use in this man.

Garten, took place at the parents
home in Willowdale Sunday at 2 p. m.
On Saturday morning about $3.50 at

tration, she arose and walking through

insanity. Seeing a bottle of carbolic
acid in the operating room, she seized
1t and drank the contents. Her nurse
in the adjoining room hearing her
fall, came to her assistance but almost
instantly, before medical aid could ar
rive, she passed away. The parents

row. The remains were taken to

OF Course Salinas Jealous.

The parties whom the Abilene paper
speaks about as riding down to the
ball game from Salina on their bicy-
cles, intending to come back on the
train but lost their money on the
game, wish to say that they have bet
ter sense than backing team visiting
Abilene, as her reputation for playing
a square game in base ball scrap Is
too well known.-[salina Republican.
That is what Salina used to say
when Abilene swiped her football
team and licked her baseball team.
Salina never could defeat Abilene at
any sort Of game, and it has SO
ranked in its mind that it is Jealous
Of Abilene's defeating anyone else.
Poor old Salina!

MINNEAPOLIS. June l0.-The first Of
the three games with Minneapolis
crackerjack ball team was won by
Abilene last evening by 5 to 4. The
grounds were in miserable condition,
diamond very slow and outtield
weedy and rough. About $50 saw

from start to finish.
The game was called at 3 O'Clock

for Abilene. Quigley, of Concordia,
was umpire and gave general salts

a puzzle and twelve men famed the
air before his swift curves. Abilene
scored in the lst and except this to
the Sth nothing was made by either.
Then each made two and in
the 9th Abilene made one and the
home team two, tying the score.
Minneapolis played two innings with.

the game. Brandt made the star hit,

BELIEVES IN LENIENCY.
Warden Lands Thinks Uniforms Will
Reform Prisoners.

Warden Harry Lands Of the state
penitentiary, who is visiting in the
city, is enthusiastic over his proposed
plan Of taking the stripes off the pris-
oners and placing them in gray uni
forms provided their behavior is good.
The change will be made July 4th
and several hundred prisoners will be
treated TO the new suits. Mr.. Lands
believes that reform can best be &C.
complished by means of kindness and
favors giving the prisoners every pos
sible accommodation and recognition
that will induce them toward better
behavior. The new step in dress will
be watched with interest all over the

SEES NO HOPE.
T. G. Henry Prefers Mexico to the
United States.

7. C. Henry, whose removal to
Mexico was noted few days ago when
he passed through this city, gave a
Topeka paper his reasons for leaving
the United States for Mexico as a resi-
dence. He says: II have made up
my mind that the United States is
not the best governed country in the
world, and there is no chance for en-.
terprise and ambition. We are over
developed and in an unsettled condi-
ton. The currency question is un-
settled, the tariff question is unset
tied, the question of municipal gov
ernment is unsettled, the whole
country is in condition of unrest. |
am going to Mexico because | think
the condition of affairs in that country
is better than in the Un:ed States.
There the currency question has been
settled. The people have nothing to
worry about on that line. The tariff
question is not wholly settled, but
they have it so arranged that they re-
ceive a greater revenue than they pay
out. Their form of government is en-
tirely satisfactory to the people.
81 think the present condition in
the United States is due largely to
contracted currency. | think the free
coinage of silver would solve our diff
culties, but | see no future for it.
Possibly in 1900 or 1904 a Bryanite
may be elected president, but then II
law affecting the currency question
is is passed it will have to be con-
strued by the courts and will drag
along without benefit possibly for
several years. And 1T was at once
made effective and good times did not
Immediately result, the people would
not have the patience to wait and
would either 60 back to the old sys-
tenn or try something else."
MIR. Henrv's business reverses dur
ing the past few years have been am
pie reason for his opinions. May he
have better luck in his new home.

CHILDREN HAVE SERVICES.
Interesting Sunday School Exercises
in Two Churches

Children's day was observed Sun
day in the Presbyterian and Metho-
dist churches. At both services there
was a large attendance and the little
ones who took part won much praise.
There we're abundant floral decora-
tons and the lesson of the day was
impressed on all.
The Presbyterian service was in the
morning and opened with a song by
the school, followed by prayer, clos
ing with the Lords Prayer by school.
The program that followed included
recitations by Fern Ramsey and Bessie
Kepner; Margaret Cuthbert, Grace
Hershey, Marie Augustine, Alice
Rogers; Eloise Pattison, Clyde Crebbs.
Mabel Pulliver; Julia Whitlaw; Cecil
SINNERS, Willie Hershey; Annie Ma

and recitations by Miss Perring's and
Miss Jackson's classes, songs by the
primary class and by the school, with
readings by Emma Humble and May
Kepner and talk by DR.. Blayney
completed the program. The princi-
pale feature Of this exercise was that
the work was almost wholly done by
the children, making it Children's
day indeed. The little ones had been
given pyramid banks in which to save
their pennies for contribution on this
occasion and in consequence collec-
ticn Of $10.S7 was taken for the sup
port OF mission schools.
The Methodist services were held in
the evening and had large audience.
"The Young Peoples Republic" was
the title Of the exercise given. There
was flag with Law, Intelligence,
Fraternity, Temperance, Uprightness,
Patriotism as the stars. W. G. An
derson sang two appreciated solos,

Mrs. T. A. Wilson had a narrow

ing. She had been using vermin
poison and scattered a little in the hen
house. 1t fell on some eggs and, as
later experiments proved, went
through the shells. The eggs were
gathered shortly after and Mrs. Will
son ate Of them and soon felt the
effects. She promptly drank freely of
warm milk and sent for a physician.
Had she not taken prompt measures
it is probable that her life could not
