GOOD DIVIDEND IN SIGHT.
Kirby Bank Receiver Nay Pay IS

Receiver Halleck filed his first re-

that OF the bank commissioner except
that he has added about $4,000 to
the cash through collections and SELL

so that about $4,000 in cash is on
hand. Mr.. Halleck thinks the first
dividend to be paid August Is will be
at least s. per cent. The full list Of

STOP THE ENDLESS CHAIN.
Abilene Receives Requests for the
Inevitable Ten Cents.

Several letters have been received
by Abilene people asking them to par
ticipate in an "endless chain" for the
purpose Of raising money for an ice
plant for the National Red Cross soci.
ETY.. The letters ask for ten cents
and request the recipient to make
four copies Of the letter and mail
them to friends.
Thousands Of similar letters have
been sent to other parties throughout
the country. Each person addressed
was asked to send ten cents to Miss
Natalie Schenck, of Babylon, l.. L.,
and to renew the request upon four
friends. The result is that the post
office at Babylon, little village
where several rich New York people
have their summer residence, has
been buried under the replies, and
Postmaster Dowden, who has been in
the habit Of handling a few hundred
letters and half as many newspapers
daily, now receives his mail in bags,
packed full Of letters addressed to
Miss Schenck.
They average $500 a day and the
number is increasing. Over $4,000
has already been raised and $50 tons
Of ice have been forwarded to the So
ciety.
The letters received here are num-
bered about 20. II the chain were
unbroken there would already be
raised enough to pay the national
debt five times over and carry on the
Spanish war for a decade. Yet it is
proposed to keep 1t in operation until
the number 100 is reached. Stop it.

HOGAN HAD HARD WORK,
Railroad May Be Asked for Heavy
Damages.

D. Campbell, Jr., Of Solomon, was
in town and says that the death OF
Sidney Hogan, killed by the cars Sat-
urday. has cast gloom over the en-.
tire community. He says Hogan had
too much to do on the day Of his
death. He was the only brakeman on
a train Of 48 cars. Returning from
Beloit there were So and he brought
his younger brother with him to help
in handling the train. He was very
tired and worn out and it is thought
that this physical condition made his
slip at Niles, by which he met his
death, more likely. The railroad will
probably be asked for damages.
