Gov. Pennypacker of Pennsylva-
MIA has broken loose again. Now
he wants a law passed authorizing
the attorney general, on petition Of
six citizens, to begin action against
any newspaper for publishing al
legged defamatory information, and
if the evidence warrants making it.
the duty Of the courts to suppress
'the nuisance" The law if enact
ed should also authorize the sup
preston of any governor who
makes himself so ridiculous that
he is q disgrace to Goth century
citizenship.

The executive officers ofthe state

sary to issue $4OO, ,00O OF revenue
warrants, bearing 4 per cent inter-
est, with which to pay the running
expenses and pay the floating 10 :
debtedness. When such condi-
tions exist there is something sad
ly out of joint, either with our rev..
enue laws or our appropriations,
aud it is possible that both might
stand a little revising.

Domestic Troubles,

1t is exceptional to find family
where there are no domestic rup-
lures occasionally, but these can
be lessened by having DR.. Kings

trouble they save by their great

great=deal= =is being said both
pro and con in regard to a primas
ry election law. While it must be
admitted that it is a debatable
proposition, that our present sys-
tenn of making nominations comes
far short of the ideal, and that the
primary system as thus far devel-
oped also has its objections, some
of the dire disasters predicted from
the adoption of the primary sys-
tenn cause an incredulous smile to
creep over the countenance of the
reader. For instance, the Argus
Leader states with every evidence
of gravity that 'tunder the prima-
ry system nearly all of the Offices
so to the cities and towns leaving
the rural precincts unrepresented. !"
The Bon Homme county reader
scans this statement and smiles.
In the last republican county con
vention every candidate nominat-
ed except two representatives and
two county officers was a resident
Of a town. At the election the vot-
ers rebuked this indiscretion by
defeating one candidate for coun.
ty Office selected from the rural
districts, although he was a good
man and worthy, and elected q
democrat from q town, leaving
just one county officer elected
froma rural precinct. Again the
Argus Leader claims that the. pri
mary system would .resul6 il
punching the Offices, taking an rn-
due proportion of them from one
town. Here is another place to
smile. In Bon Homme county to-
day seven of the best county Offices
are held by residents of one town,
the gracious caucus and conven-
tion system granting to the other
portions of the county the asses
sor, coroner and county judge
this we suppose being to signify
that the rest of the county would
be permitted to pay their share of
the taxes, their remains would be
properly sat upon and their estates
properly adjusted. Nearly all of
the objections raised to the prlma-
~ system can be charged with
equal force to the caucus and con-
vention system. The greatest OBJ
lection to the primary system is
that plurality vote rather than II
majority is sufficient to nominate,
and it is possible that candidate
might procure plurality who
could not under any circumstanc-
es procure majority.

THE ABILENE NATIONAL BANK.
United States Depositary and Strong
Financial Institution.

The Abilene National Bank is one
of the oldest banks in Dickinson
county and for more than twenty
years it has been popular with the
people OF this community.
1t has been a most important fac
tor in the development and
growth of the city and Of incalculable
value to the industries upon which
it depends. Banks are the best
tests of a county's prosperity
Through them we arrive at correct
conclusions regarding conditions pre-
vailing in the place where they are
located. This rule holds especially
good in the case Of the Abilene Ma
tional. g,
1t is,capitalized at $50, 100000 and
has surplus and undivided profits
of S31, 1884; loans and discounts
S2SS, s59. rs; cash and sight exchange
$13S, ga. 6S; bonds 500, SS4.0O; de-
posits nearly $4OO,OOO.OO. A strong
evidence Of the confidence the people
have in its solidity. There are not
many banks in Kansas that show q
greater amount Of business done and
not one that is safer or more salts
factory. This is one Of the few banks
Of Kansas that has been designated as
a United States depositary and as the
government very carefully inspects
all banks before making them SUCH
it is a high compliment to this bank
to be SO designated.
This bank has also been made a
state depositary by the recent act Of
the state legislature which fact is
another indication Of its high stand
ing among the banks Of the state
Its officers are: G. A Rogers, presi-
dent; j. B. Case, vice-president; r.
M. White, cashier; F. A. Wilcox,
assistant cashier.
These officers are thoroughly ex-
perienced and very conservative.
They are among the leading, most
enterprising and successful business
men Of the city, prominent in every
movement for advancement OF local
interests. They have managed their
own affairs wisely and well and have
brought to bear upon the bank the
same sound business principles,
marked by q judicious liberality In
the treatment Of their customers.
They solicit your business, no matter
how small, no matter how large.
They are courteous and obliging to
all, and the conduct Of the bank i'm
plies an earnest, honest effort to se-
cure and retain the good will of all

to prophesy that greater things are
awaiting her in the future.
Abilene Is beautifully located near
the center Of the county in the fertile
valley Of the Smoky Hill River. Toa
stranger entering Abilene for the
first time the city presents 2 very fav-
orable aspect, and further acquain-
lance with 1t deepens that impress
sion. The. city contains stores equal
to any in the West and they carry
stocks Of great value and variety
Broad and we'll shaded streets radiate
in all directions, bordered by well
kept lawns and modern homes.
There are other features Of city life
which must be taken into considera-
ton which are Of equal and some
times greater Importance than BUSH
ness, namely the educational and
religious facilities, good water, plenty
Of artificial light and many others:
All Of these Abilene has In an unusual
degree. The city has four public
school buildings and q course OF study
matriculating with our best colleges
and accredited in the Kansas Uniyer-
sity. These schools are located with
in easy reach OF the children, That
a strong and earnest effort is being
made TO give the pupils all the ad'
vantages Of q splendid system is !. e " :
denced by the progress made and the
results attained. Abilene Is full OF
bright boys and girls while the young
men and women Of the city, past
students, do credit to their teaching.
The parents Of the children In abb
lene have no reason for sending them
away to be educated as they have at
their doors all the best facilities OBJ
tainable. 80.
In the midst Of strenuous life
Abilene has found time to attend to
religious matters and many churches

The church element has beer
singularly successful In moulding
public opinion and in leading up to q

are in great degree responsible.

operators are located to transact the
business and ship the milk and cream
to the factory at Abilene where all
the churning is done. They make a
strictly cream butter and never In
their history have they made "Prc-
cess" butter. The butter is high
grade, pure, sweet and wholesome by
reason Of the best modern machinery
in use. :,
The high grade dairy stock and the
peculiar adaptation Of alfalfa and other
forage for dairy purposes. Seventy
people are employed by the system
and the yearly volume Of business is
about two million pounds. Their
speciality is the pound packages Tor
which air tight cartons are used
which are neat and attractive.
Besides q large home trade they
ship east, west and south from coast
to coast. Owing to its superior
quality Belle Springs butter is al
ways in demand and brings top
prices.
The new and modern creamery
building was erected In 1902. 1t is
7Oxl76 feet, two floors and built Of
brick and stone. The interior is
modern In detail. The offices, fire.
proof vaults, packing rooms and fac
tory are supplied uith up-to-date fix
lures and furni' ure..
The ice plant has a capacity Of fif-
teen tons Of ice daily which is sold in
the city and shipped.
The cold storage rooms have q
capacity Of forty cars, These are
also used in packing and shipping
dressed poultry and fresh eggs
The plant is located near the coun-
ty buildings and the Union Pacific
railroad where they have special side
tracks.
Their plan Of shipping the cream
direct from the farm to the factory Is
proving the most convenient and
economical way and results in more
clear money to the producers. Be
sides It enables them TO cooperate by
inter change Of ideas to advocate
their mutual interests. The opera
tors are In close touch with their
customers, always ready with sug-

Customers can procure these ma
