THERE WE'RE NINETY AND NINE
That Safely Reached the End of the
Line on Time.

The monthly report of the Rock
Island for the month Of October show
ing train service shows that during
the month 932 trains we're operated
over all the lines in Kansas, that S31
of them were late at division points
and ttat sol were on time. On only
one line was every train on time. That
was the Bucklln-Dodge City line. #f-
ty-two trains were operated and all
of them we're on time. On the line
from Harrington So trains we're operat-
ed with SO on time and late. On
the Kansas City to Belleville line 1874
trains were operated, 1903 on time
and rs late, On the Harrington to
Salina, 124 trains we're operated with
80 on time and % late.
This is the second report to come
in concerning railroads. The Santa
Fe sent in its report some time ago,
showing that ON the Abilene-Salina
branch about 70 per cent Of the trains
were on time. The Union Pacific will
probably make a good showing.

Were burned Out.

Last Thursday noon, the residence
of C. F. Moore, about three miles
north of Detroit, caught fire from
the flue and was burned to the
ground. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Moore
we're in the house at the time the fire
started and when they heard the roar
they thought it was an auto till they
went outside when the fire had such
Roadway that it was too late to save
much Of the contents. Just a few
articles Of furniture we're saved. The
house was insured for $1,OOO.-En-

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE.
Read What Your Druggist Says About
Oil Of wIntergreen Compound.

Druggists C. E. Northcrsft G Co.
submit the following to the readers
of the Reflector:
For several years we have an
nounced, with our recommendation.
that we had found q positive cure for
eczema; a simple skin wash, oil Of
wintergreen compounded with other
healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right In this town who have eczema.
and sull have never tried this rem
sdy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories OF Chicago
for a special offer OF trial bottle at
Is cents instead Of the 800 bottle
as regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with our
and assurance that
Just as soon as the patient washes IFS
Itching skin. this mild liquid will

Lecturer Says Country II Going 10
I Bowwows UnIess Reformed.
fFrom.saturday 8 Daiis.l

Lincoln Mcconnell opened the lee.
ture course last night with an address
on THE Blue Coat and Red Flag
or Lawlessness, Its Cause and Cure. .
On account Of the stormy weather
only a small audience turned out.
He began by saying that to be a
patriot does not mean to be blind to
the unhealthy conditions Of our coun-
try. Also, to be an optlmist. does
not mean to be a fool. He delivered
his lecture from the point Of view Of
patriot and not Of q pessimist. He
said: ut may shock you to know
that America is the most lawless
nation on earth. Less regard is being
paid to our laws by men In every class
than any other nation. Some of our
conditions, are: A continual increase
in common crime and a growing dis
position on the part of supposed good
men to violate the law by taking the
law in their own hands Lynching,
graft, Illegal combines, Doodle and
bribery are so common as to arouse
little comment any longer. From the
point of finance, add together all the
money spent in our country each year
'or religion, education. all the asy-
ums, etc., we have $557,O00,OO0.
That much each year for 'nplift.
Crime costs US each year $t,OS2,Oo0,-
100. Dirty politics is taking the
,lace of patriotism.
His cure is to awaken, true Ameri-
ans to the dangers Of the times
hey will correct the evils.

Locals Won the Contest by a score
Of 8 to 0.

i The Abilene high school gridirol
braves win under any conditions. Fri
day at Harrington the local football
team and the Herington high schoo
squad contested in a heavy rain an,
on q slushy field. Water polo woult
have been q more suitable name thar
football. Nevertheless, both teams
played their best but the locals, al,
though conditions were unfit for foot.
ball showed superior team work. The
pigskin was kept on Herington's side
Of the natatorium three fourths Of the
game. AS 1t was impossible to play
rs or 80 minute halves Is minute
halves prevailed. n
In the first half Harrington kicked
off to Abilene and after several hard
line bucks the Abilene team had the
pigskin within 20 yards Of the Her
ington goal. Abilene lost the ball
and Herington endeavored to kick
out Of danger. But, Mr.. Madden, abb
lene's right end didn't see 1t that way.
He dove under and came up Just in
time to send Herington's punter who
stood fumbling the ball, to the ground
and the pigskin went rolling back Of
Herington's goal. Ackers. AbiIene's
right guard, ponced upon the ball and
the referee proclaimed it a touchdown
for Abilene.
The second half proved to be a
harder scrlmmage than the first. Her
ngton as well as Abilene made several
good gains. One time especially when
right half passed the line
Of scrimmage in his cutter and sailed
down the field for, what looked to be
1 touchdown. However he did not
get far for L. Smith, Abilene's left
.ackle, hoisted his sails and soon In
.ercepted the cutter from its hasty
light, That was the only time Her
ngton showed any hopes of scoring.
If the weather been suitable for
ootball Abilene would undoubtedly
rave piled up an enormous score for
he locals had Harrington far out
.lassed.
The line up was: Lucier, center;
Ackers, right guard; Funk, right tao
lie; Madden, right end; Campbell,
eft guard; L. Smith, left tackle; G.
yicolay, left end; Mcdonnell, quarter
'ack; Huffman, right half; Merrlfield
eft half and Jolley, full back.
