Miss Minnie Hollinger Dead.

Miss Minnie Hollinger died at p.
m. Saturday at the Hollinger home in
Rhinehart after an illness of two
years, She was the youngest daugh-
ter Of the family and was a graduate
OF Baker University. She had a great
love for art and had intended to COM
plete her education abroad when her
long illness that began when she re-
sided in this city made it impossible.
She was a sweet, lovable girl and a
host Of friends will mourn her death.
Funeral from the home at 4 p. m.
Sunday.
The frail thread that held the beau
tiful spirit Of Miss Minnie Hollinger
to her mortal body through a long
period Of illness and suffering, parted
at | o'clock July 2S and released to
its Maker her spirit that grew more
and more beautiful as her trials, dis
appointments and intense suffering
increased. Miss Minnie's life was an
inspiring example to all who knew
her intimately, pure and sweet as the
beautiful flowers she so much delight
ed in and which she believed to be
"Whispers from Heaven" Lives,
such as hers, like the beautiful flow
ers come to make the world more
lovely, more cheerful and surely are
"Whispers from Heaven" Talented
and gifted and with opportunities
that promised honor and pleasures,
she sacrificed them all to the call Of
duty. Her cheerfulness, her hope
fulness, her accomplishing spirit
through anguish and suffering, are
an ennobling remembrance to those
who most intimately knew her.
Surely it was the beautiful spirit Of
the Blessed Master which was mani
fest in her.
Funeral services held at the home
Sunday were attended by very large
number Of friends. Rev. Thackery
OBLIGATED and the burial was in the
Rhinehart cemetery beside the re-
mains Of her father who so recently
preceded her to the better land.

MONEY IN CArALPA TREES.
Actual Results That Ono Man Has
Reached.

There is agood deal Of discussion
in this county over the advisability Of
planting catalpa trees as an invest
ment. C. D. Robinson of Pawnee,
Neb., has tried it. He says:
a started my 4O-acre post farm,
as call it, in lS9O-the dry year. l
planted $4,000 Usage and $4,000 ca
talpa, one year old plants. ! esti-
mated that could raise good fence
pests within about 10 years. |
guessed about right on the catalpa,
but missed it on the Usage. lieut. 1850
catalpa posts for my own use last
winter, and they will average about
four inches in diameter. OF course
they are Of the best; they are not all
that large. They are making fine
growth and within the next five or
six years they will make two or three
good posts to each tree. They are
growing very tall; many Of them are
now % to 80 feet high. They are
planted four feet each way; had l
planted 6x6 would have had much
better growth, but would not have
nearly so many to the acre; and as !
only care to raise trees large enough
for fence posts AKA is none too close.
81 am very much encouraged with
my scheme; am sure it is going to
pay handsomely. l have Of both
kinds 1903, 900 trees (2,7OO to the acre)
and they will average at least two to
each tree; so will have in time 200, 900
OF the best fence posts grown.
1.-The cost Of plants, planting, Guilt
waiting, trimming and all labor up to
date for the 40 acres is $995.SS. |
could commence cutting catalpa now
every year, but my idea is to let
them all get large enough for good
fence posts and cut them all at once.
Estimating the forty acre tract to
be worth $4,000, the labor cost $1,000
the total investment would be IS, 900.
The market value Of the 200, 900 posts
is $4,000. This is what may sell
posts for and still have the land and
the stumps from which to grow more
posts, and the second growth would
mature in about ten or twelve years.

FREIGHTS IN A MIX-Up.
Another Union Pacific Wreck Takes
Place East Of Topeka.

Freight trains on the U. P. were
mixed up in another wreck east Of
Topeka Friday about 9 o'clock.
One train was standing on the track
near the water tank when the other
came in at full speed, and disas-
trous' collision resulted. Twelve
cars were thrown from the track and
partly demolished, ana both engines
were badly used up. From all the
information that could be gotten
from the Union Pacific authorities in
this ci ty today no lives were lost
but some trainmen were injured.
All the tracks Of the Union Pacific
leading out Of Perry were blockaded
early this morning, and the pros
poets were that the wreckage could
not be cleared up TO let the passenger
trains through until today. Wreck
ers were ordered from Kansas City
to the scene OF the accidents.
No responsibility for the accident
could be placed last night, but it was
thought to be due to the mixing Of
orders on the part of the train dis
patchers. The fact that one of the
trains was standing still at the time
Of the collision greatly lessened the
force OF the accident.

Foreign Business Turned Down.

The Union has decided to turn
down all propositions for advertising
by Kansas City and all eastern houses
that come in competition with juno
tion City merchants. In view of the
splendid support given the Union by
the local merchants, we feel that this
is the proper thing to d. y. G.
Union.
This has been the REFLEoToR's plan
always and the merchants Of Abilene
have fully appreciated it. Only two
papers in Abilene-the Chronicle and
News-publish advertisements Of
mail order houses that seek to take
trade away from this city's business
