CONCERT PLEASED ALL,
Large Audience Enjoyed the Bands
Benefit,


The Seelye theatre was well filled
last night at the Abilene Military
bands benefit concert. The band
cleared about SIS on the entertaip'
ment and gave pleasure to all. The
band 10 one Of the best In Kansas and
under G. L. Pleiser's leadership has
attained rare proficiency. The open
air concerts during the summer have
been very enjoyable and the benefit
concert closes the season most 40
ceptably. The program was well ar
ranged and-every number was q gem.
The band gave the larger portion,
Its numbers including a fantasia, q
waltz, selection from "Dodo," medley
and march. A male quartette'
Messrs. Kiefer,. Kugler. Crossley and
Covert sang "There. Little Girl,
Don't Cry" and "Kentuoky Babe"
Mrs. J. A. Young sweetly gave a solo,
Mr.. Kiefer gave q solo "Nita Gitsna,"
Mattenata; and Miss Vera Banner OF
Clyde, who is visiting here, sang
"The Message Of the Violet" Mrs.
Glimpse and Mr.. Kiefer sang III Live
and Love Thee" All the numbers
were splendidly rendered and received
unstinted applause, as they deserved
to do. Encores were demanded OF
the singers and they were gracefully
given. The entire program was
worthy Of praise.
The band consists Of the following
members: G. r. Pleiser, director,
solo clarionet; John Kirkland, first
clarionet; Ira Johntz, second clarionet;
j. A. Young, piccalo; G. +. Rinear'
Thad Hoffman, alto saxaphones; Dr.
Leverichs, Lynn Covert, solo cornets;

tone; Rem Dobkins, tuba; j. T. Bliss,
bass drum; L. Faulkner, Geo. McDon-
aid, snare drums.
J.A. Tufts is president; Ira Johntz'
secretary; L. NJ. Duckwall' treasurer
The band applied the money re-
ceived for Fourth of July playing on
the uniforms. The liberal subscriP'
ton received for open air concerts
has all been invested In the bands
equipment, the time OF the moers
having been given with out any COM
pensation. The band is In better
shape than ever before, with better
chance for permanent organization

Gods Relation to Evil.
To the Reflector.


To the Reflector.
ENTERPRISE, Nov. 2S.-The daily
papers quoted the late D. R. Anthony
as saying before he died that "he
did not believe that God created q
devil" This statement made by this
we'll known man has been read BY o
great many people who have endorsed
II and have been confirmed in their
infdelity. The words are misleading
and great evil will result from them
unless people stop long enough to
thing "twice before they leap" The
inference drawn from the words is
that there are great many people
who do believe that "God created q
devil" and all orthodox Christians so
believe and so teach. But the con-
trary is true. The church, so far as
know, does not at the present time
nor at any time in the past teach this
doctrine but has ever taught that a
Pure Being could not create an i'm
pure being, that the stream must re-
semble the fountain from which 1t
springs.
God never created saint or devil
and for that matter never created a
scholar or poet, or painter, sculptor,
carpenter or dressmaker or q COOK.
He has created free moral agents who
have made of themselves saints,
devils, scholars. poets, painters, car
penters, dressmakers or cooks.
The dearest and most precious pos
session Of the American is liberty,
freedom to choose between two or
more things set before him. That
which gives to angel or human his
highest and brightest crown and
makes him in his measure bear the
image Of God Is his freedom OF WILL
Angels or men without this endow-
ment would only be machine. and
there could not possibly be any merit
or demerit attaching to any act of his
for the simple reason the act would
not be his but the power that moved
the machine.
& The Bible teaches that an angel
thus endowed with freedom chose to
do wrong or to sin and SO made of
himself an evil one who tries to drag
Others down into sin with himself.
That which puzzles us is to har-
,monize the existence Of such beings
with the goodness, wisdom and power
Of God. Men turn away from the
thought and say it cannot be. But
we are met with some very stubborn
facts that appeal to us with great
force. Here Is the proposition; God
is good, therefore He cannot suffer
! such q being as the devil to live and
do his devilish work. But we are
confronted with the awful truth that
God does. permit devils in human
shape to polute and torment and des-
troy His creatures. 1t is as consist
.ent with the goodness Of God to al
low an unseen foe tempt and destroy
His creatures ss It 10 to allow Wis
iple foe with invisible motives and
purposes to Polute and destroy His
own creation. The appalling fact 10
before us that evil is here and Of its
direful effects and influence no man
or woman is free. RUTHyEN.

May %, 1904.
The state board of equalization
and assessment held an open
meeting today and listened to the
representatives Of several rail-
road corporations which had
been requested to furnish the
board with a little information
in addition to the voluminous re-
ports and schedules already on
file.
Newspaper stories to the effect
that certain members of the
board disagree upon the III ethod
of assessing corporations, and
that there is wide discrepancy
between the estimates ma de by
members of the board are abso-
lutely without foundation. In
the first place it can be said with
poSitiveneSs that the assessment
as finally made will be the assess
rnent of the whole board as the
method of arriving at railroad
values has been agreed upon by
all members; in the second place,
there can be no discrepancy be-
tween the estimates because there
are no estimates. The board is
estimating nothing, guessing at
nothing, jumping to no hasty
conclusions. The assessment it
will make must be water-tight
and capable of withstanding any
attack which may be made in the
courts. TO make such an assess
ment and insure that none of it's
decisions will be resisted, the
board must be able to show to the
courts as well as the people and
the corporations that it has based
its values upon something more
than an idle guess or estimate, "
and while no man is in position
to say Just how high the railway
assessment will be, all of this
care and caution on the part of
the board seems to indicate that
the appraisement will be resisted
by the railroads, if by anyone at
all, and that the people, or at
least all fair-minded people, will
be entirely satisfied with it.

DAILY ANIMAL STORY FOR. CHILDREN
HOW THE RABBIT LEARNED HIS
STEPS

Sonny Bunny Rabbit said that he could
dance If any one would show him the
steps and pat for him. So they sent him
to the crane, because you know the crane
is a great dancer and Sonny Bunny Rab
bit asked the bird to teach him.
Mr.. Crane got up and galloped around
like crazy thing, and walked lame, and
nobody patted. Sonny Bunny Rabbit didn't
learn q thing.
So then Sonny Bunny Rabbit heard that
the porcupine was telling all around thru
the big woods that he could teach any
body to dance without any patting. +
Sonny Bunny Rabbit went to the porcu
pine, and the porcupine laughed, and
stuck out his quilts, Stand on your hind
feet" he grunted.
Sonny Bunny stood on his hind feet,
and Mr.. Porcupine jabbed a quill into one
Of them. "Ouch!' said Sonny Bunny Rab
bit, and he hoped on the other foot.
"Dance!' shouted the porcupine, and he
jabbed a quill into that foot,
"Ow-ow-ow Ouch! You quit that"
cried Sonny Bunny Rabbit. But he
hoped from one foot on to the other Just
as fast as Mr., Porcupine tickled them with
his quilts.
In three minutes he was jumping SO
high that the porcupine could hardly reach
him, and taking fancy steps that he'd
never heard of. ''Crack your heels to-
gether!' shouted the porcupine.
Now cut the pigeon wing said the
