POOR DR.. KROHN.
Former Abilene Notable Is Having
Dark, Dark Days.

Rev. Philip Krohn, formerly Kan.
sas Methodist preacher, is now living
in extreme poverty in Candor, N. r.
A year and half ago he was para
lyzed and since that he has not been
able to speak or walk and hears with
great difficulty. Krohn says that for
long time he has had but $l2 a
month to live on, his pension money,
and that Of this amount he is COM
PEELED to pay S4 a.month house rent.
The saloon men whom he fought are
now even with old Philip. Krohn
was one Of the best preachers in the
Methodist conference and was in the
height Of his power when he came to
Abilene in 1915. Then he took up
newspaper work, writing for the Ga
zette of this city and later for the
Atchison Champion. He had dizzy
road in Abilene and the grief Of his
experiences here will follow him all
the days Of his life. lie was perhaps
as much sinned against as shining
and no one now feels other than SYM
pathy for him.

NO CATCH QUESTIONS.
Fairness Will Prevail at NextSatur
day's Examination.

A large number Of Dickinson young
people will take next Saturdays
teachers examination. The appli-
cants will not be worried with a lot
Of catch questions as they were under
Superintendent Stryker's regime. The
state board Of education has adopted
new system in the formulation Of
questions. Formerly certain branch
es were assigned to each member for
him to frame questions on and the
member was the sole Judge Of the
questions. Now all the questions are
subject to approval of the entire
board. At the last meeting of the
board, Professor Win attempted to
inject a number Of Pop ideas into
questions on political economy, but
the board eliminated them. The list
of questions for the next examination
is now being sent out by Superin-
tendent Nelson.

TO STEAL THE SMOKY HILL.
Western lrrigators Propose to TAXI
Its Waters for a Lake.

This is the sort of report that
comes from Hoisngton: at seems
to be pretty well understood that the
promoters Of the Cheyenne lake enter
prise will also utilize the waters OF
the Smoky river. There will be about
ten miles Of ditching required to turn
the water into the head OF Blood
creek which empties into Cheyenne
basin. A second survey is being
made and it is thought that grading
will soon commence. II such a pro-
ect is seriously considered Dickinson
county should make kick. The
Cheyenne lake is the old Cheyenne
Bottoms, IA miles long, 3 to 6 miles
wide and to 60 feet deep.
A ditch has been dug from the Ar
kansas and one is projected from the
Smoky Hill to fill the vast area. To
rob the Smoky Hill means a menace
to Abilene's electric light plant, to
Browns mill and to the Hoffman mills
at Enterprise. There is note too
much water in the river now. None
should be taken out.
