/ kill him at once, but be died a few

ment.
/ Some of the railroads are considering
| the advisability of abandoning the time
/ hOnOred title Of brakeman on passenger
/ trains and calling him assistant con
/ ductOr. The brakes on passenger trains
are no longer worked by hand but by
air and therefore it is argued that the
I old title Is a misnOmer. "The name
/ brakeman" said an old railroad man,
"has been a misnOmer ever since brake
men ceased to be brakemen-that is,
when air brakes came into use. A
| brakeman nowadays simply attends to
/ signals, calls name of stations and
/ otherwise assists in conducting trains.
| The change to assistant conductor is
/ logical"

DEATH FROM ERYsIPELAs.
Maggie Brinkmier suceumbs to the Raw
ages OF Erysipelas After an Illness
Of But FOrty-Eight Hours.


Death came so suddenly into the
home Of the Brinkmier family Monday
that it was almost impossible to realize
that one Of their number had passed
into the inscrutable beyond.
Maggie BFinkmier, the second and
14-year-Old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Brinkmier, died Monday from
the effects of erysipelas, after an Ill
ness of but IS hours. The affection
first made its appearance on the face,
spreading to the throat and brain,
causing commissions, which was the i'm
mediate cause Of death.
The funeral was held from the Cath
Ole church Tuesday forenoon. As the
priest, Father LeydeCker, was not able
to get here, what service was possible
to the lay portion Of the church was
gone through, and interment made in
the GOOdland cemetery.
Though the whole occasion was Gov
cred by the pail Of death, yet it was a
beautiful sight to see the rythmic step
of six girl Pallbearers, all dressed in
white, bearing the material remains Of
their friend.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brinkmier live five
miles southwest of GOodIand. Besides
the parents, the deceased is survived
by two sisters and one brother.

What win the Census Of GOOdIand Show
When J. ". Klauer, assessor Of
GoOdIand, completed his work, he re-
ported a population Of 1908 to the
county clerk.
The United States census Of Good
land for 1900 was taken by Wallace
Filler in June, but as he is restrained
from making public the result Of his
census under q penalty Of $500 tine
until authority to do so Is given from
headquarters, the public must remain
in the dark as to his findings. Since
the work Of a United States census en-
Umerator is supposed to be more
thorough than that Of an annual asses
sor, as the census enumeration is taken
but once in ten years, it is expected
that Mr.. Filler found more people than
did Mr.. Klauer. 1t is not out Of reason
to say that the census enumeration Of
1900 will place GOOdland at ], 100.
Guided by the assessors returns the
total population Of Sherman county
numbers 1912, the political divisions
ranking as follows.

How Would You Like to Be the Ice Man
Now?

Goodland is suffering from an ice
famine, affecting nearly One-half Of
the ice consumers. Three dealers,
ThOrsOn, the grocer, and the two
butchers, Swarts and Penn, have been
supplying the ice trade, but ThOTsOn's
supply gave out and his so customers
were notified with the Monday delivery
that his wagon would make no more
trips. Both the other dealers have
since been beseiged by anxious house
keepers, who have begged, cOaXed and
threatened in their endeaYOrs to secure
ice, but both SWarts and Penn refuse
to take on any new customers, saying
they have only a large enough supply
on hand to carry their original custom
ers through to the end Of the season.

DID NoT sIGN THE 80.
Another Disclosure in Third Party Move
ment-J. w smaIley Gave No one
Authority 20 Use His Name.
7. ". Smalley, whose name appears

J. ". SmaIley, whose name appears
as one Of the signers to the call for an
independent county ticket, was in the
city Tuesday and talked very freely
about the matter.
II did not sign the call" said Mr.
SmaIley, H'neither did I give any one
authority 70 sign my name to that doe
ument. Why should 1 favor this new
movement; I do not feel sore at the
fusion ticket, and viii not, therefore,
enter upon a fight against fusion The
idea Of putting up a third ticket does
not seem to me to be q wise thing for
any pOpulists TO enter, for what pOliti-
cal good can come from itG In union
is strength, reads the old saw, and any
movement designed to effect q sehism
in the ranks Of the fusion parties
Weakens Just as far as its force extends,
the cause Of reform
The question is, who took the liberty
to sign the names to the call without
authority, and who had it published in
the GOOdland News?

with DR.. F. II. Smith for three years,
left last week for Abilene, Kan, where
he will establish himself in the practice
Of medicine.
Mr.. Shelley has been q prominent

ing represented this county in the last
session Of the state legislature. He
was also renOminated as q candidate
for the same Office this year by the
republicans, but was forced to withdraw

years, and both these gentlemen have

attend
Dr.. Shelley is q man Of absteniOus
habits, and temperate language and
that the people Of Abilene viii come to
put confidence in him as q man and as
q physician, is not doubted.

In Memory of Maggie Brinkmier.

Precious Maggie, she has left Us,
Left Us, yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore,
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our darling one has flown,
But then a brighter home than ours
In Heaven Is now her own.
