O'Clock, trolley car from the latter place,
which is alleged to have been running
without headlight, struck one of the two
teams In the rear The wagon and horses
were thrown forward with considerable
force. Haines, who was walking at the
time, was knocked down by one OF the

He also received other decorations and
bruises. He was brought to his home on
Church street and his wounds sewed up
by DR.. Parsons. Both horses were also
injured. The wagon was damaged ano
the trolley car badly broken.
Not since Washington Hunter was killed
at Cambridge by thieves, several years
ago, has that old homestead been disturbed
by robbers until last week, when it was
again invaded by thieves, who made I
good haul. The place is now occupied By
| William Hoffman and family, and thu
robbers gained entrance through two win
dows after cutting out the putty and re
moving the glass. Mr.. Hoffman heard
noise and lighted lamp, but as he ap

Abilene Signs Petitions
BY the Big Bunches

again with enough left over to reach
out to Bonaccord creamery. They
have covered both sides Of every
question before the public, with the
same names on both sides frequently.
This latest document will doubtless
bu solemnly forwarded to the railroad
which will solemnly ask what the
city officers want and then it will be-
gin over again-perhaps starting out
another petition asking city officials
to take action.
The former administration was not
much on petitions. When 1t wanted
the railroad to act the city attorney
and mayor got busy. G c. Sterl,
chairman Of the committee, sent a
telegram or two and up from Kansas
City came the officials who fixed
things as desired. But this would be
a dull town without petitions.

ABILENE'S CITIZENS did
MIGHTY CON JOB

Topeka Capital; Citizens Of Abb
lene last week became 50 tired Of
rough reets--Abilene's streets are
unpaved that they got together and
hired three country road drags and in
a day the streets were as smooth as
asphalt. Citizens in Chicago became
SO weary week ago Of Uttered alleys
and vacant lots on the edges of town
that they induced the school board to
give the children holiday to clean up
and at the end Of the.day'every scrap Of
old torn paper and other unsightly
articles drifting about the city was
gathered up and deposited in cans
and wagons and carted off. Once in
in a while citizens take the bit in
their teeth and show negligent or
tired officials how to do it,

authorities in regard to putting more
.culverts under the roadbed to let off

much Of the damage Of the last f1od

Show Trains Hard Trip.

The Parker show train going from
Salina to Atchison had the worst time
in q storm Sunday night 1t ever ex'
perienced. Between Emporia and
Topeka the rain was 90 heavy, and
the wind so strong, the train could
hardly make Roadway against it..
The conductor and one Of the man
ayers Of the show had search-lights
and stood on the steps on each side Of
the caboose to watch for cages and
other equipment that might be blown
of. The animals were wild with fear
and the noise they made awoke people
along the railroad. The train reached
Atchison all right and the shows are
receiving big patronage.
