HE REMEMBERS ABILENE.
Two Reasons for General Freight
Agent Embry's Recollection

General Freight Agent EMORY mas
clear remembrance for Abilene
principally because good luck kept
him from going into business here in
a way that would not have been
pleasant. He came here front west
ern New York intending to enter the
old First National bank as assistant
cashier under W. R. Dryer. A meet
ing of the directors was called and he
started for the gathering, there he
was to sign the contract and take
some stock in the bank. On the way
he met telegraph messenger with a
telegram offering him a railroad job
not a large one but a starter. he
stood on the street awhile thinking
about it, then retraced his steps,
caught the night train and went
east. Yesterday was the first time
since then that he has been in the
town. He has risen step by step un-
til he occupies head office of the
great Rock Island route, has a special
train at his command and draws sew
eral thousand plunks per annum.
The bank busted long ago and busted
nearly everybody connected with it.
Another thing that makes Mr.. En-
bry remember Abilene is the fact
that his first appearance before the
freight agents conference was with q
request for special rates on merry.go'
rounds for C. W. Parker. 1t was
granted and he retired happy in the
success of his petition.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
