ENGLE TURNED IN HIS
STAR AS DEPUTY MARSHAL
Not Allowed to Arrest q Drunk
What was the Use?

H. G. Engle, the merchants police
whose accommodating service has CIV
en- him practically all the night watch
business, has turned in his star as
deputy marshal. de came down town
yesterday about p. m. and was on
the street ready for service when the
police judge asked him to, serve a
warrant on a drunken man who
ought to be arrested. A great many
DRINKS have been run in during the
past two years and this was only the
common happening. Mr.. Engle was,
however, not sure of his authority
since the shake up in the police force
and asked the police Judge to consult
the city attorney. The latter said
Engle had no authority so he turned
in his star and quit. 1t is understood
that Sheriff Young will make him
deputy sheriff. The city administra-
tion seems determined to let police
regulation go and worry the city into
coming to terms to take care Of some
favorites. However, the history OF
the last two years is not to be re-
peated and there are some real busi-
pessmep on the council who can't.heI

The commercial club has appointed
g. G. sterl. b. B. Malott and ] w.

members Of the council relative to
the appointment Of a day marshal.
The council has by resolution asked
the mayor to deputize three marshaIs
but he refuses. why he does this
nobody understands, unless 1t is to
make all the trouble possible because
the council will not do all he asks
of 1t. II is understood that the conn
Gil will cut down the salary of the
city clerk and city attorney to get
money for the purpose Of hiring a
marshal. The city clerk gets s25 a
month for work that he does not
occupy to exceed two or three days
all told and he is assisted in that by
Judge Hutchinson. clerk OF the water
commission. The city attorney gets
S25 a month for giving advice when
called on. The council believes in
doing business on business principles
and it is unfortunate that the mayor
will not cooperate with the MEMBERS.
It is giving Abilene a reputation that
IS doing the town no good. H

AN INSURANCE ORDER EvADED
Superintendent Barnes of Kansas Be ileves the Companies Are
 Working a Scheme.

Topeka. Dec. 17.--It has been dis covered by Charles w. Barnes, state insurance superintendent, that some of the fire insurance comsanieh have found scheme to invalidate the order Of September l, reducing the fire in surance rates on Kansas business property 12 per cent. Some of the in surance companies put the reduction in effect only on the rates filed with the department up to September, be lieving that whatever new rates were flied would not be subject to the re- duction. It looked like some of the companies were working out scheme whereby they would gradually file an entirely new set of rates in Kansas to which the reduction would not apply.
 MT. Barnes has sent letter to all of these companies demanding that com pliance with the law be made at once Some of the companies are still fuss ing about the order so MT. Barnes has gone to Chicago to fight it out with the insurance men who will hold a meeting there.

 The members of the ,mmittee are not of the opinior that any thing was gained by the confer ence, as Mr. Edson had little to offer iu lieu of concession giv ing him the undisputed right to move the division point.
 In brief, his proposition was 10 give reduced freight rates to fac tories as an inducement to locate here aud to send good man to Mena to handle and sell the rail- road mems property that he has agreed to purchase If the division Is moved. He would say nothing encouraging regarding the build ing of the Mena & Eastern rail road, nor ot a resort hotel fol Mena.
 Other developments may be ex pected soon.
