SERENELY.
One Of tho Quietest Times in the

The Fourth Of July in Abilene was a

The Fourth Of July in Abilene was a
day Of peace and serenity. The pop
ulation gave itself up to meditation
and reflection and the occasional pop
OF a frecracker was all that disturbed
the stiffness Of the summer air.
About50O went to Salina and all re.
port pleasant time, big crowd,
some races, plenty Of red lemonade
and fun. The farmers remained in
the harvest fields and did not care to
come to town. The Abilene fire de-
partment went to Salina but did not
take part in the races. The races
were all rather disappointing and the
ball game showed very poor playing.
The fireworks display did not CON-
mence until very late and the Abilene
people mostly missed it. The Has,
kell Indians played Salina. The
morning game ended in a row. In
the afternoon the Indians did not
half play and Salina took the game
by 27 too.
The firemen's races resulted: Dry
hose run, one hundred yards, won by
Beloit in 223; hose run on reel OF six
sections, junction City and Beloit
tied; money divided; hose compiling,
won by junction City in 81. Hun
dred yard foot race, won by Beloit in
thirteen seconds.

he had been struck by lS-inch shell.

here and don't know what to do; but 1t
is as expected; did not get crazy
and make u gand rush as many did,
and ! am here now and expect to stay
with It for awhile; hut anyone coming
here had better first consider his trip
as the hardest one he has tackled aud
further consider how many men there
are here and what he will do when Ire
gets here. There is rush for claims
every other day and the whole coun-
try Is staked for miles out on the
creeks; and when you go to sink q hole
you have to build fires to thaw out the
ground, which is slow way to PROS
pect; generally they go from 10 to 20
feet to bedrock which will take a
month or more; then you may strike
pay and you may not; when YOU sink
two or three such holes, then your grub
in gone, and If you have money prob
ably you could not not buy provisions,
as 1t is very uncertain to buy them
here; then your money is no good; then
you must hit the trail for $50 mile
tramp, or go down and out by st.
Michaeps. This country is not what
1t Is pictured TO the outside world. 1t
il true that some have done we'll, but
you can see men here that have been
in this country for ten years and still
poor men; SO you see what chances q
man Is taking; but as am here am
going to see some Of this part of the
world. Our party divided up when
we got here the 10th. We have our
cabin built and will look around; prob-
ably sink a hole or two. l have no
big castles built; in fact l may come
out this winter, but with intentions of
returning in early spring with supplies

the boats. 1t costs one dollar to send
