HURT ANOTHER TRAMP.
Solomon Has a Second Experience
With Hoboes,

A few weeks ago tramp trying to
catch a ride on the Union Pacific
train at Solomon was killed. Sunday
there was another tramp incident
there. As the noon passenger train
came east tramp and his young son
were discovered on the blind baggage.
The porter halted the train east of
the station, went forward and ordered
them off. He claims that the man
pulled knife on him and without
hesitation he put him off by force.
The tramp fell down an embankment
backward, hit his head on stone and
cut the scalp badly. As the train
went on he staggered toward the
track and might have cot under the
wheels had not his boy pulled him
back. Finally exhausted BY the loss
OF blood and the bruises he fell, the
passengers who saw it thinking him
dead. He was not, however. He was
taken to Solomon and cared for. The
injuries are severe and will be d long
time healing but it is not thought
they will prove fatal.
The railroad authorities sent word
to solomon to have the tramp ar
rested for using q knife and when he
heard of it he left town.
Solomon is overrun with tramps, as
many as 80 or 40 being there in a
Jingle night. Since the Abilene
ordinance prevented their stopping
lere the town has suffered greatly
rom them.

LOST THE THIRD.
Abilene Did Not Do So Well on
. SATURDAY..

Abilene lost Saturdays game with
Topeka. The Colts changed positions
OF several men and did better work.
The Capital says of the game: For
four innings neither side scored and
Topeka did not seem able to do much
with Bouldin. 1t was the same way
with Abilene, Harry Colburn's south
paw delivery was little puzzling.
In the fifth they opened on him and
scored tour runs, all they got. In
that inning five clean hits in success
sion, two singles and three doubles
gave them three earned runs. The
other was scored before the side was
retired
Guy McFadden scored one for the
Colts in the fourth, on his safe drive
and Hulberts double. He scored
when Hubert was put out by Athey
at second. A base on balls to Under.
wood, his steal and McFadden and
Hulbert's outs gave the Colts an
other.
Three were added by the Colts in
the seventh. Evans singled, stole
second and went to third on Lucas
out. Colburn walked and Brockway
singled, scoring Evans. Underwood's
double sent both Colburn and Brock
way home.
In the ninth Bouldin was succeeded
by Reust, who fooled the Colts on
Friday. He went In the box without
warming up. He gave free gifts to
the first two men up and they scored
on an out and McFadden's single.

Topeka, July 9.-Somehow the
Abilenes did not feel well yesterday
afternoon during their little engage
ment with the Topeka Colts. They
were tired with their long ride while
the Topekas had been drinking nerve
tonic all day and sitting in the shade.
The weather too was desperately hot
and the players all felt the severity
of old Soils rays.
The Topekas opened with and
scared Abilene some. Strother made
l run and Price 2, Abilene's sole rec
ord Ash made 2 errors; Wakefield,
Athey, Bouldin and Wagner each one.
Augusta did not do his usual work
while Cochran surprised the boys.
Topeka's good batting and bad errors

PLAYED BETTER BALL.
Topeka Comes Near Being Shut Out

TOPEKA, July l0.-The Abilenes
feel better. Having had days rest
and an equal chance with the Topekas
at sitting in the shade and drinking
nerve tonic they braced up and
swiped the Colts with a big, big
swipe. The game yesterday after
noon surprised the capital city and
came so near being shut-out for the
Topekas as to scare the Colts Out of
a years growth. 1t is the general
opinion Of the Abilene boys that To-
peka can only play ball when acci-
dents happen in their favor. They
never scored yesterdays game until
the last half of the ninth when out of
pity for their parents and friends
Abilene let them make one. Reust
threw great ball for Abilene and
everybody did fine work. Adrian
Sherman, the umpire, has given sat
isfaction and the team is in good
shape for today's game.

POPULIsT APPELLATE JUDGES.
Supreme Court Reporter Tells Of
Their Work.

The new Populistappellate Judges,
one of whom is j. H. Mahan of this
city, seem to be making remarkable
record. G. G. Clemens, Populist, re-
porter OF the supreme court, says Of
them: "lf had a lO-year-old boy
who could not use better language
and better grammar than some of
these appellate court Judges | would
send him to the idiotic asylum. It's
simply awful. Why, if would let
these decisions 90 into the reports as
they are handed down, these Judges
would be- the laughing stock of the
nation 1t is big job to correct
their stuff. Sometimes it is neces-
sarv to re-wrte an entire opinion.
Look at this, for instance taking up
decision sent down to be printed.
Here is one where the Judge not
got off on his grammar but he even
twisted around another decision
which he cited to mean Just the op-
posite Of what it does. How such a
mistake could be made cannot see.
The Judge must have been sick that
day and let his washerwoman write
that opinion. 1t sometimes takes me
a half day to 60 through one case and
find out what the Judge is driving at
After | find out, or, rather, after
think ! have found out, 60 ahead
and fix it up in readable style. When
the report comes out some Of the
Judges will be unable to recognize
their decisions. But then that won't
hurt anything. Nobody would even
AXE their opinions as an authority,
anyhow. Beside, | think | not only
improved the wording of them but
'Iso strengthened them from legal
standpoint
Clemens had to take a good deal Of
his back later on but he probably
new what he was talking about in
he first instance.

FOUR EXAMINATIONS ONLY.
City Schools Will Abolish One Half
the Trials.

supt. Niesley has decided to make
radical change in the examination
system for the coming year in the city
schools. 1t has been a rule 70 hold
examinations every four weeks and
teachers and pupils have been in an
almost constant struggle with ques-
tions, papers and cards. Next year
examinations will be held once in two
months, or four examinations in the
year. At the ends of alternate
months the cards will be marked
from the teachers daily records on
the best judgment Of the teacher as
to the pupils work. The final exam
nations for promotion will be held
three or four weeks before school
closes and those who fail will be given
a second examination at the end of
the term, which If successful will give
them chance to advance. This will
remove any complaint Of unfairness
in the finals. The new plan promises
to be much more satisfactory than
the former one as it will reduce the
work both of pupils and teachers and
give more time for regular drill in the
course Of study 1t will be especially
valuable in the high school where
there has often been dissatisfaction on
5he result Of final examinations.
