Are You q Bufalo."

1t is no longer "Put me of at
Buffalo" Rather has is become,
"Are you a BuIralop Eleven cents,
please And you cheeriully hand
your friend half dollar to become
initiated, look for SO cents Of change
to be returned, do not get it, and
then know that you are not only
Buffalo" but have been "butlaloed."
The Joke is not new. The Greeks,
the Romans, the old Teutons had q
similar one, but recently it taken q
fresh hold on the popular mind, and
Buffalo societies are springing up in
all parts Of the United States, and 1t
may be that we shall yet have an
Order Of the Buffalo, as now there
are Elks, Red Men, Masons, Odd Eel.
lows and Pythians.
Few people carry II cents in change
with them. A sudden demand for 1t
from friend naturally induces him
to hand out quarter, half dollar
or even dollar. No change is re-
turned, and there the joke ends.
Governor Shaw Of Iowa, recently
journeying to Washington, was ask
ed for the inevitable II cents for the
purpose Of initiating him. The jok-
ers felt certain that he, being a
wealthy banker, would have no small
change about him. They looked to
see him hand out at least a two.dollar
bill and possibly a five. Then they
proposed to make merry. To their
surprise and CONSERVATION, though,
he solemnly drew forth just / cents,
and the laugh was on the initiators.
Perhaps the governor knew the
trick Of old and perhaps he never
travels without at least II cents in
bis pocket. However, this was how
be became Buffalo without being
"bulIaloed.'
The Abilene lodge now has about
200 members. c. I. Estes is chief

STATE BANK CHANGE.
9. A Rogers Becomes President and
Takes Charge at Once.

The Abilene State bank has new
president. G. A. Rogers has pur-
chased the interest ofC. N. Prouty and
Saturday became president Of the insti-
tuition. The bank was started nearly
three years ago by Mr.. Prouty and
the late J. j. Squier who were the
principal stockholders. At the last
published statement it had over
$lll,OOO in deposits, 100000 cash on
hand, capital stock $4,000 and sur
plus and undivided profits Of $2,0ll,
making it one Of the most substantial
institutions in the State.
Mr.. Rogers enjoys the distinction
of being president Of two banks, and
he will continue to be at the head Of
the Abilene National. A. W. Living.
ston who has so acceptably filled the
position of assistant cashier Of the
State bank will continue in that posi-
ton. With so popular and thor
oughly competent gentleman as Mr..
Rogers at its head its prosperity may
be expected to increase. Its new
management will be pleasing alike to
the public and its patrons.
Mr.. Prouty went to Kansas City
but will return in two days. He
will on account OF his little sons
injuries remain here until about May
1. He has not yet decided where he
will locate. He has made many
friends who will regret his departure
from the city.

SNOW AND NORTH WINDS MAKE
TRAVEL HAZARDOUS.
Ono Of the Heaviest Shows Of the
Winter Comes After Balmy Wealth
er-Temperature Il Only Moderate.

The prediction Of the weather bu-
reau sent out Monday morning that
there would be snow was amply veri.
fled. About $50 p. m. the north
wind came roaring over the town,
changing what had been balmy
spring day to an aspect Of winter.
Toward morning the rain and sleet
that had been falling changed to
snow and about five inches OF the
beautiful lay spread over the fields,
trees and shrubbery were weighted
with it and the storm continued most
Of the day.
The temperature was around the
freezing point all day growing colder
toward evening.
The storm was a a.surprise to stock
men and kept them busy looking A.
ter the yards. D. r. Gorden has bis
big flock Of sheep and young lambs
on the east side Of Mud creek a mile
south Of town but they are all well
sheltered and all right.
The wheat fields which are already
in fine condition could have nothing
better than the snow. The wheat
plant already nearly covers the
ground and with such encouraging
weather will make a marvellous
growth.
The telegraph wires were blown
and broken down by the wind and
snow and there we're none working in
any direction most Of the day. The
trains ran without telegraphic Or
ders and were behind time.
The storm was less severe in wes-
tern Kansas, seeming to come from
the north and northwest.

J. M. Gleissner is laid up as the re.
suit Of serious fall Saturday night.
One Of the children called him and he
arose, and passing through the dark
hall started for the children's bed

bewildered on directions, falling
down the hall stairs to the first land

ter post at the turn OF the stairway,
it broke and be swung over the bal
uster, falling to the floor beneath and
striking on settee. He is in bed,
bruised and lame, but has reason to
thank his lucky stars that he was not
killed and had no bones broken. 1t

REV. W. A. CRAWFORD LICKED
AJOINTIST.
Conference Exonerated Him and
Voted Him Thanks Appointments
Of Local Interest in tho Church.

The Rev. W. A. Crawford, pastor Of
the NJ. E. church, Argentine, and
Robert Patterson, former proprietor
Of joint located near the NJ. E.
church, and which the Rev. Mr.. Craw-
ford had caused to be closed, had an
alteration on the street last week
and the minister struck the jointist
stinging blow on the side Of the face.
Patterson reached to his hip pocket as
though he was going to draw re-
volver, but did not do so, and the
preacher stood his ground. Patterson
had been wrathy at the preacher since
the closing Of his joint, and had
abused him, it is said, repeatedly.
The two men met and Patterson &C.
knowledged the applying of a vile
epithet to the minister. Only a few
words were needed to induce the d.
vine to become pugilistic, knocking
the jointist flat on his back and black
ing bis eyes.
The rules OF the Methodist church
are that when preacher gets into
any kind Of trouble he must report it
to the next conference and ask for an
investigation. When the conference
opened at Topeka Mr.. Crawford re-
ported the scrap and asked that a
committee be appointed to investi-
gate. The bishop designated the
committee on discipline to investi.
gate. The committee, after thor
ough investigation, decided that the
preacher did the right thing, and
asked the conference to extend him
vote Of thanks.
