at the library rooms with a larg

to order and stated the meeting t
be for the purpose Of giving the bust
ness men chance 10 voice their sen
timents in regard to the action Of the
Rock Island in taking of its daily
passenger train from Herington to
Salina.
ALI present were very emphatic in
their declarations as to the injustice
Of the action of'the road and were
anxious to 60 on record as against 1t.
After considerable speaking and
general remarks the following letter
was drawn up and ordered to be sent
to the company. The letter will be
signed by every business firm in the
aty:
at having come to the notice Of
the citizens Of Abilene from presum-
ably reliable authority that the Rock
Island System proposes to abandon
their passenger train between Herring
ton and Salina, the Commercial club |
ct special meeting unanimously |
passed the following resolution:
ave. the business men Of Abilene
strongly protest against such action
by the Rock Island railroad.
.'Such move would be great det-
riment to the business interests OF
Abilene and serious Inconvenience to
our people and travelling public in
general.
"a glance at the returns Of your
Abilene station including freight we
believe will indicate the friendly feel
ing toward the company from Abb
lene businessmen.
"This friendly relationship has been
appreciated by the people Of Abilene
and vicinity and we hope that same
Is appreciated in return by the Rock
Island system to such an extent as to
reconsider the proposed change and

pARKER's BALLOON MAN KILLED
The Balloon Was Only Half Inflated
and the Wind Very Strong.

As told In the REFLECTOR last week
: Prof. Theodore Ridgley the daring
individual who made the balloon
ascensions as well as high dives with
Parker's show met his fate Saturday
August Let at Havana, Ill.
The facts as told by the Havana
Press are as follows: The weather
was uniavorable for an ascension on
account Of the high wind, but Ridgley
coming out in his every day clothes
saw that the balloon was In danger OF
catching fire from being tossed about
and gave orders to let her 20 although
she was only half inflated. Slowly
the man elevated into space and was
carried in a northwesterly direction
over the top Of one Of the big build.
ings. It seems as though no greater
altitude was gained and when the
man was over the river, the balloon
lowered until its master was dipped
into the water. II again arose and
lifted its human freight a few feet
above the water and for some I'm.
accountable reason he let loose his
hold on the trapeze and dropped back |
into the river. Several people were
watching him through glasses and
some assert that he began swimming
toward the west bank, but this fact
is disputed by others.
As soon as the balloon had left the
ground, swift gasoline launch
started up the river to aid him but
before they reached the spot all trace
II him had been destroyed.
The search was continued by local
parties until Monday when party in
launch while crossing the river
ound the body several miles from
where he went down. The body was
'loated and the mouth and eyes filled
With mud. It was taken to town and
IN inquest held and the body buried.
Parker paid all funeral expenses
nd the $50 reward offered for the
'ody. The paper speaks in the high I
st terms Of the manner in which I

themselves through the unfortunate 1

Smith, Of Dennison, O., was scalded
to death under the engine and Engi-
neer John B. Hoffman, of Allegh eny,

passengers also were injured. The
engineer, while rounding a sharp
curve, saw man walking on the track
ahead Of him In the direction In

effect was to make the engine leave

track and continue over high en-

the train was simply carried on the
track and none of the cars plunged
into the ditch. The fireman, pinioned
under the engine, was breathing his
last when the passengers came to his
assistance and extricated him from
bis position. The escaping steam had
,calded him until his features were
hardly recognizable. The hot water
