ERICKSON WE'LL KNOWN HERE.
Clay County Republican Chairman
Who Met Death in Fire.

]. w. Erickson, the Clay Center
man who was burned to death in
tle Topeka hotel fire, was well known
in this county. He was chairman
of the Clay county Republican or
ganization for years and a squarer,
fairer politician never lived. Erick-
son was born August 81, 1854, in
Henry county, ILL.,, and in his early
boyhood, the year of 1870, came to
Clay county, Kansas, with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Erickson.
He was reared ON the Erickson home
stead six miles north of Clay Center
In October, 1886, he was united in
marriage with Miss Carrie Peterson
of Randolph, Riley county. The
first thirteen years of their married
life was spent on farm near his
parents. While living on the farm

COST BELL $4,000.
Storm Was Severe on That Telephone
System.

One little storm last winter, not
nearly so bad a storm as Kansas
has seen, caused loss of $4,000
tn the Missouri & Kansas Telephone
Company. The officers OF the Bell
lines in Kansas appeared before the
tax commission to ask that no IN
creases in the valuation OF the prop
erty be made and in support OF this
request presented the facts OF the
great loss caused by the storm. The
storm was a cold rain, turning 10
sleet and then snow and accompanied
by a high wind. The wires were
coated with ice and this great weight
coupled with the wind caused the
wires and poles to go down for miles.
The officials said that there were
stretches of from ten to twenty miles
where nearly every pole went down.
They said it would require at least
$4,000 to replace the wires ana
poles in addition to this was an
unestimated amount of loss OF ous''
ness because the wires were not
working.
The company was assessed year
ago on valuation of 100000 and
it returned its property this year at
two million dollars. Last year the
company had a large amount OF ma
terial in its yards at Kansas CITY,
but this has all been used in repairing
the damage from the storms OF last
winter.

ABILENE STILL INVINCIBLE.


The Abilene high school baseball
team won it's sixth successive game
of ball yesterday by defeating tne
Dickinson county high school bunch
in a sensational game, the score be-
ing 5 to 4. The local squad chased IN
two scores in the second, two in the
fifth and one in the seventh. In the
second the first two men up were
struck out; Jolley was walked TO
first was forced to second by Hurd
getting a walk. Hoffman then grasp
ed the big stick with all his might,
gritted his teeth and slapped the
hall to right for safe hit scoring
Jolley and Hurd. Mcdonnell was
first to the bat in the fifth but failed
to hit; Sommers followed and was
walked to first; Eisenhower welded
the big stick for single to right,
advancing Sommers to third; Merri-
field then stepped to the pan and
biffed a pretty single to center scor-
ing Sommers and Eisenhower. In
the seventh, Ed. Eisenhower knocked
flay to center, who muffed it, let
ting him gain first, he stole second
and scored on hit by Mortified to
left.
The game was sensational through
out intermingled with many errors
Hoffman's all-round good playing
was a feature. Chapman has stiff
team and played good ball but Abb
lene's superiority in the baseball
line wedged its way out throughout
the game
