on the Buckeye road last week.
Mr.. Kneer was driving home and
when opposite the Engle house the
current across the road fioated a
piece Of wood against the horses and
they SHE'D into the ditch. Mr.. Kneer
caught the hedge and held on until
taken out by boat. The horses
were unable to struggle out with the

FORGOT THEIR KINSHTP.
Abilene Brothers Fought FierceIy
at Salina.

Salina Union: The police court
record bears these inscriptions today
"John Peterson, disturbing the
peace, guilty; IS. and COSTS"
George Peterson, disturbing the
peace, guilty; Is and costs" Neither
had money and were remanded to
Jail.
George and John Peterson are
brothers and give their residence as
Abilene. Evidently last night they
forgot the tie which bound them, and
we're fighting like demons.
When Officer Stonebraker arrived
at 1880 o'clock, George was trying to
enlarge Johns eye to the size Of q
ham, while John was making vain
effort to freScoe Georges face with
bright spots Of black md blue.
Neither was successful.
Which is John and which is George
is hard to tell. Both look alike and
both have red, curly hair. One is
cripple today. He was made that
way last night, but whether this Grip
pie is John or George is not known.
In the fight he got badly sprained
ankle.

GOODBYE TO THE TENT.
Big BrOwn-TOp Will Be Sent Back
to Kansas City.

Take your last farewell of the big
tent. 1t will soon be only sad
memory in the minds of the minis
tiers. AS soon as it is dried and
cleaned it will be sent back home to
Kansas City.
Last night it blew down again.
This makes the fourth time. 1t was
the limit. The ministers don't be-
lieve in tempting providence 50 they
won't put it up again. 1t might take
wings and fly away.
This morning number Of volun-
teer helpers with many "yo hos"
aye heave hos" and altogether
now's" loaded the soaked rolls OF can
vas on drays and it was hauled away
to dry. The workers made a muddy
and bedraggled set Of workmen when
the work was over but they just
grinned.
The total expense was $500 In
money, 1000 pounds Of perspiration
shed and 10000 words Of advice on
how to put up tents wasted.

RARE WAR RELIC.
r. McDaniels Has q BlOOd-Stained
Battle Flag.

8SeAS = ANA0N
One Of the most interesting Civi
war relics in Abilene is owned by R
McDaniels. 1t is battle flag uset
by Company E. Slst Iowa volunteer
infantry Of which Mr.. McDaniels wal
first lieutenant. The flag was made
| by the ladies Of Anamosa, Iowa, MIR,
McDaniels' home town, and presented
to the company when 1t left for the
war. The flag was with the company
all through the four years which II
served in the army Of the Tennessee.
When the war was over the flag was
given to Mr.. McDaniels for safe keep
ing. An especially interesting thing
about the flag is that every lady who
helped make it sewed her name on
one of the stars. None of the ladies
is living now. The flag is slightly
yellow with age and has several bull
let holes through it. 1t is stained
with blood and powder in many places.
The day before the surrender Of
Vicksburg on July 4th, 1868, the boys
of Company E had good idea what
was coming so they got out the flag
and put it on the breastworks and it
stayed there all through that day and
the next when the city surrendered.
Next Fourth Of July will make the
forty-fifth anniversary Of the surren-
der Of the city. The flag was at the
battles Of Jackson, Miss, Chattanooga,
Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain
and was with the company on the
long march from Atlanta to the sea.
1t was also in the grand review at
Washington after the war. Then the
company disbanded and the members
presented the flag to MIR. McDaniels
for safe keeping. He prizes the old
flag very highly and only brings it
out on Memorial day..and the Fourth
Of July. Some day he expects to send
it back to Anamosa to an institution
for collecting Civil war relics. Mr..
also has an interesting war
album filled with pictures Of war gen.
erals and OF members of his company.

MADE A FINE RECORD.
&c. c. wyandt's General Agency
Ranks Fourth in United States.

". " Wyauut . UeMcKM hB1MO!
Ranks Fourth in United States.
One Of the most notable records b.
Kansas business house has been tha
Of G. G. Wyandt, general agent fol
the Union Central Life Insuranc Com
pany, during the first five months oil
the present year.
| We notice in looking over the
records Of the company's agencies
that there are two hundred and fifty
general agents who cover the com-
pany's entire territory. The first
four in amount Of new business
settled for during the period January
LIST to June LIST, are the following:
First, Chicago; second, New York
City; third, Birmingham, Alabama;
fourth, Abilene, Kansas. When it is
remem bered that Mr.. Wyandt's
agency is but one Of three in the state
Of Kansas the other two being at
Wichita and Topeka it will be seen
that he has made remarkable record
to rank so close to the top among
such large number of expert insur-
ance men.
He has a force of twenty agents
who are located in the Fifth and Sixth
congressional districts, or the north
west fourth OF the state. The high
state Of organization to which he has
brought his agency force is highly
complimented by the Union Central
head officers and is recognized by
other insurance companies as one Of
the most remarkable insurance
records ever made in the West,
1t has been largely due to Mr..
Wyandt's splendid business that Kan
sas now stands seventh among the
states OF the Union in the amount of
insurance carried in the Union Cen
trail. OF course, great deal depends
upon the kind Of company one has
to work for, and in this, Mr.. Wyandt
has been exceptionally fortunate. No
in America has a higher
rank than the Union Central for its
stability and conservatism of its man
agement and the saving investment
Of its assets and the generous divid-
ends paid to its policy holders. As
an example of its management, it
may be said that So per cent Of its
assets are invested in farm mortgages,
he company carrying on the LIST of
asst January over 40,O00,00O in this
stable and satisfactorily sort of invest
nent.
A company that takes such care in
he investment of its securities is the
lind that appeals to the Kansas peo-
lie and 1t deserves the popularity
With which il has been received in
his state. Abilene is proud to be the ,
ome Of 50 prosperous and SO success
I'll general agency as that conducted
y Mr.. Wyandt, and we are certain t
hat the present year will continue
he splendid record made during the 1
rst five months. '
