"Pioneer Days on the Cattle Trail

brought back from Texas by George
R. Barse, Of Kansas City, when he
came from the San Antonio cattle
convention. 1t is by H. W, Caylor,
Of Texas, who has made considerable
local reputation in painting scenes on
the frontier. 1t is three by nine feet
without the frame and is one OF the
most realistic pictures seen there for
many day. There isthe long herd
Of old time Texas cattle with the wild
cowboys leading, a herd OF buffalo to
one side, group Of Indians off in the
distance, the rattlesnake, the prairie
dog and the inevitable cactus all
there. 1t is being much admired and
favorably commented upon by those
who are familiar with the early days
in the western cattle business and
should be IN Abilene's possession.
When the new public library is ready
it may be purchased.

DR.. BLAYNEY IN LUCK.
Omaha Court Gives Him the Legacy
of $4,000.

The associated press dispatches
from Omaha tell Of the ending Of the
will case in which Rev. DR.. Blayney,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church here. but formerly Of
Omaha, is made richer by about
$4,000. Mrs. Harriet Ballou Of
Omaha, a former parishioner, died
last summer leaving him this amount
in his will. Two stepsons objected
to the Wills provisions claiming that
the entire estate, OF which this was
but part, had been devised to her
by her deceased husband and their
father only in trust, it to 90 to their
children (the late Mr.. Ballou's grand
children) on the death Of the widow.
The papers were filed with Judge
Vinsonpaler in the county court sew
eral weeks ago and the case came up
for hearing Friday morning and at
close Of the evidence he held that the
will was regular and it was admitted
to probate.

BREAD-MAK1NG DON'T COUNT,
Damage Suit That Was Wiped Off

Among the cases dismissed in dis.
trlct court was that OF Mrs. Louisa
Catch against Maria Schwendener and
husband, based upon certain letters
alleged to have been written by the
defendant in which were said bad
things about the plaintiff. Among
the matters complained of was the
statement that Mrs. Catch could not
make good bread. Coming just at
the close of the cooking school it was
hoped that the case would come to
trial and determine whether or not
bread making is serious part of
woman's accomplishments.

LET Us HAVE COURTESY.
A Few Words About the Abuse Of
Communities.

A lecturer in Salina got up before a
large audience the other evening and
exclaimed: 1.-The mayor and city
officials Of Salina are in league with
anarchy as black and as dark as the
anarchy Of Chicago" following it up
with a lot Of similar talk. 1t is be.
coming very common for lecturers to
come into towns and in harsh and
bitter words abuse the people Of the
place accusing them OF all the crimes
in the catalogue simply because their
actions do not agree with the ideas Of
the stranger on religion, politics or
some other topic. 1t ought not to be
SO. Take Salina, for instance.
There is a busy, contented enter
prising little city. 1t is made up of
as fine people as were ever born be-
meath Gods blue skies. They have
lived in Kansas through its up and
downs and are trying to make their
home and business life successful.
The city officers are gentlemen Sc
lected from among these people to
look after the public affairs of the
community. They are honest, capa-
BILE, enterprising and they too, are
interested in the towns welfare.
They are doing all in their power to
make it prosper. Yet along comes a
lecturer paid at SO much per lecture
and calls them anarchists and Grim
inals in league with all black deeds.
He has not dollars interest in the
town--except to take up a collection
and goes on to abuse other com.
munities and take other collections.
But he leaves behind him in the minds
Of the young and the thoughtless a
sting, smirch that blackens the
names Of the men selected to govern
the town and he lessons the respect
Of these classes for their friends and
nsighbors. The thoughtful and the
rejecting know better. They know
that the abuse Of the citzens is un-
true and spoken with one idea and
narrow purpose.
1t is about time the communities OF
Kansas compelled courtesy and de-
cency on the part Of so.called "re-
formers" Let them preach their re-
forms but let them advocate their
cause without abuse and villification
Of the comm unity and with respect
for the people who are making Kan
sas mighty good place to live in.

REAL ESTATE IN DEMAND.
Not in Years Has There Been Such a
Call From Purchasers.

The prosperity of central Kansas
fcr the past three years is bearing
fruit in an increased demand for real
estate, both farm and town property.
Ii. E. Ellison, Of the real estate
firm of Able & Ellison, remarked
this morning: II have never seen in
this community so eager a demand
Tor realty as at the present time.
Purchasers for farms are more num-
erous than in years and the renter is
going to be thing of the past before
long because there will be no farms
to lease. Men are buying them to
live on and consider that they are
making agood investment. Town
property is the same way. The de-
mand for residences is active, and
the present year seems likely to OK.
ceed even last years wonderful rec
ord in the number OF families who
will become the owners Of their
homes. lisa good sign and indi-
Gates healthy business life in Abb
lene. A larger proportion Of the
realty Of Dickinson county is already
owned by home people than at any
time heretofore in the history Of this
section. People have such conf.
dence in the future that they are buy
ing it for investment. Dickinson
real estate is as good as gold"
The same condition is reported by
other real estate firms. Able \ Eli.
son probably realize the situation
most clearly because they are the
most generous advertisers Of any real
estate firm in central Kansas-and
they say it has paid them ten times
over. As one instance OF the advan-
tage Of making themselves known
they were this week made state
agents for the real estate of the Hart
ford Life Insurance company, com.
prising tens Of thousands OF acres Of
farm and rancho land and hundreds
Of city properties. A large sale of
these is anticipated this season.
