DEATH OF MR.. HERBsr.
A Former Abilene Citizen Passes
Away at Kansas City.

On June 10Th at his home In Kan
sas City, DR.. John E. Herbst, an old
time resident Of Abilene, passed
peacefully away after brief illness,
which had not been considered serious
until the day before the end came.
Only the wife and daughter, Mrs.
Augustus Zahner, were at the bedside.
The sons are in business and school
in different parts of the country and
there was not time to summon them.
The remains were taken to the old
home at Hagerstown, Nd, by Mrs.
Herbst and Rev. Cromer, where they
will be met by the sons and buried
today. Mrs. Zahner was prevented
from accompanying them by the i'll
ness of her husband
Dr. Herbst came to Abilene with
his family about twenty years ago
and became a member of the banking
firm of Lebold, Fisher 4 Co., his son,
Ed, taking the position of cashier
This city was the home Of the parents
for about eight years but the family
has continued to be connected with
us in a social and business way that
they have ever seemed to be part Of
the town. The doctor was prominent
in the councils Of the Lutheran
church, having been member of the
general board Of education and twice
treasurer of the synod of Kansas. He
was an educated gentleman of the old
school, retaining through all his days
that love and familiarity with the
classics which gives to life peculiar
fullness and a satisfaction that can
come from no other source.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflammed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catsrrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

COLLECTED A Boup.
How . Young Attorney Got Dickin'
son County Cash.

The Solomon Sentinel relates an In
teresting story Of the early '7O's tell
ing how J. c. Postlethwaite, now Z
leading lawyer and politician Of the
Sixth district, collected the cash on 9
Dickinson county bond.
He was at the time employed by
banker Higginbotham Of Manhattan
who held Dickinson county bond
given to eastern parties for $1,000.
Young Postlethwaite was instructed
to interview the county commission
ers at Abilene with reference to its
payment. Without stating his bust
ness he asked the commissioners to
fix an hour when they could give him
their attention. The time was fixed
and he appeared before the board
and discussed payment and answered
questions for ten hours, the county
attorney and others fighting the pay
ment. He however won his claim,
received warrant on county treasurer
for the amount and Immediately
hunted up the treasurer, securing
some $500 cash and acknowledge
ment for balance.
The county attorney and others
having learned that Potlethwait had
secured all the money then in the
treasury started out to find him, not
being DESTROYS of seeing their salaries
slip away. Postlethwaite learning
they were after him, jumped on a
westbound train and got off at Solo
mon, where be waited for an east
bound train to Manhattan. He got
away during the night and fearing
trouble at Abilene, he wrapped him
self in his oyercoat, the collar well
covering his face and then laid off in
a seat pretending sleep. While the
train stopped at Abilene two or three
men went through the cars evidently
searching for, but did not discover
their man. Next day he related what
he had gone through to his employer
Higginbotham who was so highly
elated over obtaining payment that
he threw his hat into the air, and al
ways thereafter chose Postlethwaite
for making collections Of like char
acter.
