TOOK NEWS OF DEATH.
OF Abraham Lincoln FOrty-FOur
Years Ago.

Salina Union: Forty-four years
ago, April IA, President Lincoln was
assassinated. He died early the next
day.
OF course, there are many people
in Salina now, who remember that
event but they are very few who were
here in that early day still living.
One man still lives here who was not
only living in Salina at that time, but
who brought to Salina the first news
of the death.
At that day there was no tele-
graph farther west than Fort Riley.
Messages from Fort Riley were sent
by messengers.
Col, D. R.. Wagstaff was a resi-
dent Of Salina at that time, He held
the office of Provost Sergeant.
The news of Lincoln's death was
flashed to Fort Riley and from there
on it came by messenger. Col. Wag-
staff was at. Abilene at the binle- nv
was there when the messengers came
riding into Abilene telling of the sad
event. 1t came like shock to every
one.
The messengers tarried a short
time at Abilene but Col. Wagstaff got
busy. Mounting a horse he came
to Salina, beating the messenger to
this city.
The first man he met was when
rounding the corner at Fifth and Iron
avenues. 1t was Bob Bishop.
Col. Wagstaff told him the news
of Lincoln's assassination.
"If that is true" answered MI.
Bishop, sit is the greatest calamity
that ever happened for Mr.. Lincoln
is the only man who can reconcile the
two factions
In a few minutes the news had
spread over Salina and the messen-
gers took it to western towns.

SAYS IT'S FORGERY,
That Offer to Sell Stock Denounced
by Officers.

A telegram to j. X, Forney from
G. S. Johnson, president of the Den
yer, Larimie and Northwestern r. r.
received today says;
Reflector advertisement is a fake,
pure and simple"
The advertisement was received
through an advertising agency and
was an offer to sell stock in the
road and was signed with JOhnson's
name. 1t appeared in a number OF
papers in Kansas and Oklahoma on
L.e same day This is supposed to
be part of scheme to discredit the
road and enable a rival company to
secure the right of way through ter
ritory the promoters propose to trav-
ell. An Injunction has been issued
by a Denver judge against further eff
forts of this kind. A number Of
Abilene capitalists are interested In
the road Speaking of the roads
prospects Mr.. Forney said:
1.-The Denver, Laramie and North
western r. r. traverses through the
most productive country of Colorado,
through the famous Greeley and Fort
Collins potato and sugar beet lands,
thence northwest entering the Fish
Creek canyon into Wyoming, which
is the best gateway, having the low
est grade of any railroad crossing
the continental divide. From the
coal miles one engine can haul six
teen hundred tons with the assist
ance of a pusher for only six miles
From all other coal mines in Colo
RADIO the same type engine could only
haul eight hundred tons into Den
yer.

CARRYING SMALL STOCKS.
Druggists With Permits Cut Down
Liquor Stock.

The impression seems to be going
the rounds that the new state prOhi-
bittory law will never be published
and become effective or that in some
way it will fall by the wayside. 1t
is believed by a great many people
that IL the law is published doctor
of the best reputation will write a
prescription to contain whiskey, al
cohol or both and this will be taken
to a druggist of equally good reputa-
ton where it will be filled and a
case brought against both the doctor,
the druggist and the person for
whom the prescription was filled to
test the law. Some Of the strongest
Temperance advocates in the city
look upOn the law with fear and
trembling, thing that perhaps It is
SO stringent that a reaction will be
the result. Others say it is the law
that will bring total prohibition to
the state and Is the law that they
have long desired to see effective.
The druggists Of Abilene who have
permits are not backward about say
ing that they are carrying just as lit
Gle whiskey and alcohol in stock as
they can carry to meet the lawful de-
mand for 1t and they don't intend to
have any on hand when the new law
goes into effect. If the law is tested
it is not likely that it will be tested
in Abilene.

The manner of its discovery was
odd. a clerk in a western hotel. in
making up his accounts one day,
found a discrepancy he could not ex.

his left hand. and as he counted each
one. turned the note over and deposit.

He found that when he counted
from left TO right his cash balanced

He consumed two hours in vain en-

ter, and finally was obliged to call
On the manager for assistance.
The manager himself had no better
success. Again and again he count

sult-one time the cash balanced an
the next the shortage was developed.
Finally each bill was examined sep.
arately, both diverse and reverse:
whereupon the mystified men discov-

of the bills had the design of $50

the reverse. 1t further appeared that
