BOND SUIT REMANDED.
City Wins q Point in it, Contest
Against Gas Bonds.

A St. Louis dispatch OF Oct. 20
says: "In the fedora court Of appeals
today, Cornell university was defeat
ed in a suit against the city OF Adj.
lene, Kas., the Cornell officials having
bought ten bonds issued by the city
Of Abilene and later declared void.
The case was tried In the United
States circuit court for Kansas,
which rendered q verdict In favor Of
Cornell university. 1t was recorded
that evidence had been submitted to
show that the coupons Of the same
bonds had previously been the object
Of q contest in the courts, and were
declared to be void. The higher
court reversed the judgment and re-
manded the case for a new trial."
These bonds are the old gas well
issue. The money was used to pros
pect for gas but nothing was accom-
plished the drill, as usual, sticking
in the bottom Of the hole. The city
declared that the bonds we're illegally
issued and refused to pay them.

If age, was hunting with a shotgun

Of age, was hunting with a shotgun
and q dog, when the bob cat was
freed. A charge Of shot fired at close
range brought him to the ground.
The boy did not know what the AMI
NAL was until be had killed i. and
was consequently delighted to learn
that be had killed a real wildcat. The
cat is about the size Of an ordinary
dog.
A good joke comes from the cen.

the candidates for a county office.
Stopping at the house Of a German
end after buzzing the old lady and
holding the calf by the tail while she
MIXED and holding the baby while
she got supper, he said to the farmer

MY UNCLE FROM MCPHERSON.
Abilene Breaks q Record with tho
Poorest Show Ever.

my Uncle from New York" which
appeared at the Seelye Monday be-
fore q good sized audience is mis-
named. 1t should be called my
Uncle from MCPHERSON" and Abilene
was its second appearance. Usual
ly a show has some ~redeeming fea'
ture. This is an exception. The
performers can't sing, dance or act.
They are so green that they giggle at
each others doings and stumble over
the stage properties while they desc
crate the joke cemetery with their a.
legged humor. Positively the awk'
wardest speeialties ever seen at the
Seelye came between acts. The show
could be indicted for obtaining money
under false pretenses but q better
way would be to quarantine against
1t. There were, however, two con.
soling facts: The show was 20 min
utes late in starting and the theatre
doors not being locked there was
nothing to hinder a portion Of the
audience from leaving early in the
performance.
The management Of the theatre
was grossly deceived regarding th'
company which proved an exception

FOR TRAIN MEMS VOTING.
They Must Write Many Names on
the Ballot.

LEXINGTON, Oct. 21.-The train
men Of the Rock Island are much In.
terested In the new election laws pro.
vision for their voting. Attorney
General GODDARD thinks the last legis-
ture made . big mistake when, in
passing an act permitting railroad
men to vote away from home, it did
not provide a special ballot for the
purpose. As it is In nine cases out Of
ten the ballot which the railroad man
obtains at the end Of his run will not
have the proper county tickets upon
1t and the judicial and congressional
candidates will be Of some other dis
trict than the one In which he lives.
Mr.. GODDARD thinks the only thing
railroad men voting away from home
can do 10 to refrain from voting q
straight ticket, by marking within
the circle, and mark opposite the
names Of the candidates for state
offices for whom they wish to vote
and then to write In on the blank col
umn at the right Of the ballot thu
names Of the county, Judicial or con
gressionsl candidates for whom they
wish to cast their vote. He think
that o. ballot OF this kind may b.
counted.

Thousands OF men and women who
have neglected the work Of physical

In the majority u cases, impure and

~er, one Of the unhappy victims? Il
\so, the life stream must be made
pure, the health. wrecked laxity Of the
blood vessels must DO corrected, the
nerves and tissues must DO nourished.
Paine's Celery Compound is the medi'
cine that physicians recommend for
the increase Of pure blood in the
arteries, and for arousiug the purity
ing organs to cast Of the impurities
that give rise to disease. Mr.. jas. F.
Hudson, Spring Ridge, La, was 4

From some cause my blood be-
came impure and resulted in boil'
and pimples. At one time ! suffered
from ~ boils. No one can imagine
what l suffered. l tried sulphur,
sarssparillas and other remedies, but
no relief came. Mr.. Sebastian, q
merchant whom | used to clerk for,
handed me one Of your circulars and

GREAT STORM HITS BERLIN.
Lightning Starts Fires In Three
Hundred Places.

Hundred Places.
Berlin, April 15.-A violent thunder
storm, accompanied by torrential rain.
broke over Berlin and it's vicinity early
in the morning, causing great damage.
Many buildings were struck by light
ming. The fire brigade was summoned
to upward of 300 places to extinguisb
tires and cope with floods.
The water was so deep around the
approaches to the railroad station on
Friedrichstrasse that it was impossible
to reach the depot. At the Lehrte sta.
ton some of the waiting rooms had to
be closed, as the walls threatened to
fall.
A portion of the embankment of the
Potsdam railroad near Schoeneberg
was swept away, and similar damage
to the Circular railroad necessitated a
suspension of traffic.
The streets were so flooded that the
street cars in several districts We're
stopped The roads We're almost i'm
passable for pedestrians, and conse-
quently the schools were closed. The
museum was considerably damaged.
The decorative portions of many build
ings and the statues in the public
squares were seriously damaged by
hail. which for time fell most heavily.
Trains were unable to leave the Stet-
tin station ON account Of the floods
