THE NAME Blackboard.
Origin Of Vehicle Which Is Known I,
All of Us.

There are few persons who know how
tho name Of ''buckboard" came to be
applied TO a vehicle. says the American
Vehicle. 1t was back In the POS. when
tho transportation OF goods. wares and
merchandise was almost entirely by
wagon. A DR.. Buck, who for many years
afterward was the military storekeeper
at Washington. was then In charge OF
military stores en- route to army posts in
the Southwest. In east Tennessee much
difficulty was experienced by reason OF
the rough roads. and there were frequent
mishaps. mostly from the wagons over
turning. Or. Buck overhauled the outfit.
and. abandoning the wagon bodies. long
boards were set directly on the axles. or
hung below. and the stores were loaded
In such manner that there were no
further delays from breakdowns. and the
stores safely reached their destination.
In special emergency. too. tho load could
be shifted or taken of In a hurry. The
idea was probably not new. but DR..
Bucks example was followed. especially
when roads were rough. and soon much
hauling was done by the use OF wheels.

Philadelphia, Sept. -5.-1n a lengthy
interview given out on tho tain be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia to-
day William j. Bryan made a hot re-
tort to Mr.. Taft's statement Of yester-

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.
(From the Mexican Herald.


n is growing more evident every day
that the Bryan DOGGY" invented by the
astute Mark Hanna. does not frighten
people as It did In 1896 and 1900. After
several years OF Roosevelt radicalism. the
American people have come to regard
Bryan as not especially dangerous. Our
New York namesake observes: Finance
and industry and commerce can scarcely
receive a f,ercer battering under Mr.. Bry-
an than they have received under Mr.
Roosevelt
Tho ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS voter sees
In none Of the parties a place where he
may ind refuge from the storm OF rad
icalism. The republican leaders are a
live to the growing strength OF Bryan
and make no attempt to conceal their
belief that they have a hard fight ahead
Of them. Their alertness may save them
but overconfdence would prove their des-
trucuon.

to s. OF the four games played the
score has been to 8 twice and 4 to 2
twice. The game was fast one and
the teams are evenly matched, with
the former leading in team work.
The features were the fine fielding In
left by TORI Of salina, he accepting .
chances without an error, and the
pitching Of Mcdonnell and BOrst.
The Wilson Wonders are the fastest
boys team in the state and played
good fast ball all the time. They are
nice gentlemanly set Of players and
play clean ball. which fact has been
in evidence with all four games be-

In 1878 Madame Luke, then a fam

east Of the present location Of the

where he was first buried. When the

we'll as when first buried. Indeed, it
bordered on petrifcation. His rife,

intact. Madame Luke died recently

State Tor Union central.
The 1907 report Of the insurance
commissioner Of Kansas shows the
Union Life Insurance Company to
have over hve million dollars in force
divided among three thousand policy
holders. The company has just made
an important change in the conduct
Of their business in Kansas. The sys-
tenn Of the Union Central as well as
many other companies is to divide the
state in districts. The state OF KAN
sas thus being divided into three dis
districts, with Union Central general
agents at Topeka Wichita and Abb
lene.
The change referred to has been the
closing Of the Topeka office, and the
transfer Of the business to Abilene.
With the business already on the
books Of G. c. Wyandt, general agent,
the total amount now handled through
this Office amounts to about four mil
lion dollars or 8 per cent Of the total
business Of Kansas. This change is
in the nature Of . promotion, and
brings under control Of The Abilene
Office about eighty counties OF Kansas
extending from Missouri to the Colo
RADIO state lines, the only counties be-
ing excepted are those in the south
western and southern portions OIL
Kansas, which are controlled through
the Wichita office.
Mr.. wyandt. general agent. states
that he expects to organize his new
field as thoroughly as he has his othe'
territory, and will probably add two
special field men to his already etfec
tive corps Of agents. The who'll
territory will likely be operates
rough Abilene, and this will brinl
two more families to the city. III

intended the change Of the office t.
