Buying - Mattresses.

A great many dealers don't tell the custom
ers the fact about mattresses. "What's the
use of educating the public so much? 1t only
makes them harder to sell to"
What! Telling the facts makes 1t harder
to sell We find that telling The facts makes
selling easier. There must be something wrong
with facts that makes selling hard-are they
facts anyway? Here are nine facts about the
ROYAL ELASTIC FELT MAT TRESS:
!. They are softer and more elastic than hair.
,. They retain their softness and elasticity
much longer than hair.
3. They will never become hard or lunpy
or lose their shape.
4 They are more healthful and cleanly than
hair OF feathers.
5. They are proof against moth while hair,
wool OF feathers are subject to them.
8. They require no making over.
I. With ordinary use they will be IN excel
lent condition for more than fifteen years.
8. Their first cost is not one-halt that OF a
hair mattress of good quality.
9. They are lighter than cheap hair mat
tresses snd about the same weight OF a good
hair mattress.

SHANE KILLED HIM,
FORMER ABILENE RESIDENTS
TERRIBLE DEED.
J. B. Shane, Of Lawrence, Angered at
aYoung Man, Shoots Him Down on
tho Street Chance for Warn
ing-Details Of the Affair.

y. b. shame, one Of tne oaIly eoV'
tiers Of Abilene, but for many years a
photographer at Lawrence, about
noon yesterday shot and killed in
stantly Edward Katherman in front
Of Shane's business place in Law
renee.
Mr.. Shane is a brother Of John N.
and William Shane OF this city. He
was during his residence here county
treasurer and also owned the Chron-
icle before J. W. Hart bought it. He
built the large brick residence on
North Buckeye now owned by j. r.
Van Worst.
Mr.. Shane was taken to the Topeka
jail last evening, it being feared that
in the excited condition Of Lawrence
people there might be trouble there.
The officers think he is mentally un'
balanced through brooding over bis
fancied troubles.
OF the sad affair in which he is con-
cerned the Lawrence journal gives
these details:
Ed Katherman has been employed
at Wiedmann's ice cream and oyster
parlors. and was on his way home to
dinner with Harry Green, who is EN-
ployed at the same place. The two
we're walking south together, talking
and laughing as friends are wont to
do. As they passed Shane's gallery
MIR. Shane was standing in the door.
Kathermann looked up and said,
"How'd DO, Mr.. Shane" not stopping
or making any further remark. Al.
mos. instantly, and just after the
boys passed the door Of the shop the
report Of q revolver was heard, and
Kathermann fell dead at the feet Of
his companion, falling on his face
with his hands in his pockets, as he
had had them when he passed the
place. Green turned in time to see
that the shot came from a revolver in
the hands Of Shane. The bullet that
killed Kathermann came from behind,
and entered the skull almost directly
in the center OF the head. 1t did moi
pass through the skull but was to be
seen under the skin just over the left
eye, not having broken the skin Of
the forehead. Kathermann fell for
ward striking the stone walk on the
right side Of the face, causing quite
bruise there. He lay with his hands
in bis pockets, doubled up, and with
out q motion or word from the time
the shot was fired until the body was
taken away at the coroner's order.
There was an immediate assem-.
bling Of a crowd, and the street was
soon blocked. Officer Jeans, Police
Judge Manley and Mayor Selig were
among the first officers on the ground
and the coroner was Immediately
sent for, the body remaining where il
had fallen until the arrival Of that
.oflicial. As soon as the coroner ar.
rived the body was taken to Smiths
undertaking establishment where ii
was cared for.
When Officer Jeans arrived and
heard the story, he and Marshal
Prentice, who soon arrived, went to
the door Of Shane's gallery and de-
msnded sdmittance. The door was
locked and Shane finally opened it to
allow the officers to enter. Officer
Jeans and Judge Manley went inside
the room and then Jeans made q de-
mand for Mr.. Shane's revolver. Mr..

Fire Escapes Now Necessary.

The fire escape law that was passed
by the last state Legislature went into
effect week ago Saturday. The law
provides that all buildings over two
stories in height must be equipped
with fire escapes as must also all build
ings used as opera houses, or public
halls that have seating capacity of
at least 300. All hospitals, manufac-
tories and warehouses. three or more
stories in height also come within the
provisions of the statute. While the
exact nature of the fire escapes is left
to large extent to the discretion of
the chief of the fire department in
each city, yet in number of cases
the statute specifies the kind of an es-
cape to be used. In all buildings ex-
cept factories and warehouses, there
NUT be one wrought iron or steel lad
der fire escape starting five feet above
the ground and extending to the roof,
for every $500 superficial feet above
The ladder may, however, stop at the
second story, provided an adjustable
ladder is there attached so that it may
easily be dropped to the ground. Wher-
ever such buildings are occupied by
more than twenty persons, however,
the statute requires that there shall
be one steel stairway accessible from
each story, with drop or counterbal-
ance ladder or stairway from the sec
ond story to the ground. For every
5000 superficial feet of area one fire es-
cape ladder must be provided if no
more than twenty people are employ
ed. If more than twenty persons are
employed then there must either be
two ladders or one outside stairway
with suitable platforms. Where forty
or more persons are employed, there
shall be at least two outside stair
ways or whatever number the chief of
the fire department may require. Six
ty days are given after the service of
the notice in which the owners of
buildings may comply with the pro-
visions of the law. In case of failure
so to do such persons are subject to a
fine of from $50 to 800 and $25 for
each additional week that they fail to
construct the fire escape.

Gives Bogus Check for Farm.

That sale of the farm Of Martin
Goldberg, of Hesper township, for $50
per acre, which we reported as hav-
ing been closed week or so ago, fail
ed to turn out to the entire satisface
tion of all praties concerned, or any
of them in fact. The Mr.. Harrison, of
California, who negotiated for the
purchase thereof, came to Decorah and
staid at one of our hotels few days,
and then secured a livery rig and
went up to the farm. AS we under
stand it he gave check for $500 as
part payment, but when the check
was presented at the bank payment
was refused upon it, the answer being
returned that Mr.. Harrison had no ac-
count at the bank mentioned 1t sub
sequently turned out that the gentle
man had decamped, as it were, leav-
ing behind him unpaid hotel and liv-
cry bills. So the farm has not been
sold.

Flood losses to date in the Mississ-
ippi Valley south of Keokuk, Iowa,
are estimated at So, 200, 900, with the
situation continuing to grow worse
and every prospect that this amount
will be increased two or three milli-
ons. Everywhere throughout the Sec
tion the most abundant crops ever
known are under water deep enough
to float steamboat, and farmers who
ten days ago were wealthy are today
penniless and homeless. The most of
this loss is ON the Missouri side of the
river, between Keokuk and Hannibal.
All this territory was practically CO.
vered with corn fortnight ago esti-
mated to make seventy-five to hun
red bushels to the acre. The loss is
total. Experience is that if water
stays forty-eight hours it kills corn
even four inhces under the surface,
and every stalk wet by waves perishes
from rotting roots.

Saloons Open Until 1880.

S. J. Quincy, Sioux City lawyer,
processes to have discovered point
of law in accordance with which the
provision of the Martin mulct law
which provides saloons shall be closed
at 10 o'clock sharp can be avoided, and
that they remain open until 1926.
His discovery is based upon the
difference between standard and solar
time. He claims that the statute re-
fers to solar time and that therefore
the saloons can keep their doors open
until twenty-six minutes after 10 ac-
cording to standard time. The saloon
men have made fund and will bring
the matter into the supreme court.
If the case sticks, Mr.. Quincy is to
receive 81, 500 for his discovery.
