FIRM Is CHANGED.
Cramer & Kruger the New Lumber
Yard Proprietors.


Formal notice has been given that
on Feb. |, |. 5. Hallam sold his entire
lumber and coal plant, which is one
OF the largest in Central Kansas, to
John D. Cramer and j. l.. Kruger,
the two latter gentlemen taking pos
session Of the yards on that date. II
Mr.. Hallam had retained possession
another month he would have been
proprietor Of the yards thirteen years,
for he started the same in March,
1885, making him one Of Abilene's
pioneer business men, for there are
few that have been in continuous bus
mess that length Of time.
The business in the future will be
under the management and direct
supervision Of Mr.. Cramel, who thor
oughly understands its minutest de-
tails, he having been Mr.. lallam's
confidential clerk for number OF
years. Mr.. Kruger, as Of old, will de-
vote his entire time to contracting
and will leave the management Of the
yard to Mr.. Cramer. The new firm
will no doubt prove as popular as the
old, for both the gentlemen number
their friends by hundreds and ii goes
almost without saying that they will
work with untiring energy for the
success that is certain TO be theirs.
Mr.. Cramer and Mr. Kruger are both
old residents of Abilene and their res
possibility and integrity is unques-
toned. The yards will be kept up to
their past high standard and only the
best goods will be sold at the least
margin Of profit.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has sold out to two such estimable
gentlemen it is with regret that we
part with Mr.. Hallam as q business
man, but II is n matter for general
congratulation that he is to remain
citizen Of Abilene. Mr. Hallam has
been one Of Abilene's most progress
i've citizens, always in favor Of that
which would upbuild the town, and
by his pluck and perseverance has
built up from its incipiency what Is
now one Of the largest lumber and
coal plants in the State. He will in
the future devote his time to settling
his accounts and to looking after his
farming interests, which are quite ex-
tensive. His books will be at the
office Of the yards for 60 days and he
urges every one who has AN account
to call and settle as soon as possible.

Under the new and wonderfully

great many men would find insanity
in that way in order to get the fifty
cents.
The new law requiring the pay.
ment OF fee for the transferring OF

ducer for the county. The fee is five

clerk, who turns it into the county
general revenue fund. Formerly this
fee was the clerks property.

for the Teller resolution requiring
government bonds to be paid in silver
at the option of the government.
OF course this will be regarded by
some as reputation, but to those
who respect the sanctity ola contract
this is simply what the government
is in duty bound to do according to
the conditions of the bonds, which

a price not exceeding $500 ton,

OF assertaining the amount OF
wheat on hand and the amount need
ed for consumption. They no doubt
reasoned in this way: The wheat pro-
ducers of the world have by the
sweat of their brows produced, in
Guiding surplus carried over from the
year before, about 55O,OOO,OOO.
Now according to the best informa-
ton at hand there will be needed
very nearly 100000 bushels to
supply the world until after seeding
including seed wheat. Now if we can
get control of even 15,OOO,O 600 bu.
we can rule the world. This is the
sum and substance of the deal and
this band of spectators have that
amount and perhaps 5000, 900 bu.
more safely garnered. They went
about the matter secretly at first.
Their agents began the process OF
buying up this vast quantity of
wheat as clears buying it as low
as possible until the required
amount had been purchased. This
OF course was going on last fall and
during the time when the great bulk OF
wheat was being marketed.
Thus far the unsuspecting farmers
were shoveling out the wheat crops
to them at less than it was worth
according to every rule of supply and
demand. Surely they were not bene-
flied by this daring transaction.
But all of sudden the cry went up
from the shorts, "where is the wheat?'
where upon they were politely in
formed that Letter had it. 1t was
then that the daring Letter deal was
made public, a transaction so bold
and so vast as to make one dizzy III
it's contemplation. Of course Letter
at once changed his TASTES. We
find him now "bulling" the wheat
market, as a result OF which wheat is
steadily advancing in price, but who
will be bene fited-not the farmers, as
the Globe would have us believe, be
cause the great bulk Of wheat has
long since left the hands of the farm
ers. 1t certainly will not benefit the
consumers because they are now
forced to pay Mr.. Letter his advanced
price; still the Globe in obedience to
the commands OF corporate greed.
tells us that ''the farmers will not
desire check placed upon the opera
tions of men, even though they be
spectators and money sharks of the
capitalistic breed"
