islatiOn on Sunday Ball.

At Its regular meeting this morn
ing the Abilene Ministerial Associa-
ton adopted resolutions endorsing
the State Civic Federation Of Kan
sas in its campaign for legislation
against Sunday baseball. The men,
bers OF the legislature from this dis
trict will be urged to lend their sup
port to a bill which is to be intro
duced at the coming session prohibit
ing the game on the first day of the
week.
A paper by the Rev W. II. Schroek
on 1.-THE Present Day Position of the
Pulpit" received close attention Mr..
schrock said that the original pnr-
pose and function OF the pulpit. TO
preach the Gospel, was broad enough
to include It's practical application to
all present-day Issues demanding the
serious attention Of Christian peo-
pie. The greatest dangers to the pull
pit, he thought, we're from the pulpit
ltself-the lowering Of ministerial
ideals. and the preaching Of ethics
and sociology instead Of Christianity.
He saw no special reasons for fore
bodinss regarding rs future.
A schedule Of papers for meetings
during the coming year was prepared.
The paper ct the December meeting

About Their Source.

According to the HeringtOn Sun
the number of>cases of typhoid fever

suggested that the health officers and

by many that the water is effected,
others advance the theory that the

source of trouble ard definite meas

FOOTBALL GOSSIP.

The next event on the sport map
OF Abileen is the annual football
battle between the Abilene and Sa-
lima high schools. This is the mos.
important game in Central Kansas as
it will decide the championship Of
this part of the state. Both teams
are very fast and good game is In
sured. Come out and help the local
team along.
The Dickinson county high school
target to reckon with two other
schools in claiming the championship.
These two schools are Abilene and
SaIina highs. Abilene tied Chapman
and Chapman has not played salina
so it is hard to see how they have
clear claim to the title. They had
better wait until the end Of the sea-
son before they make SO sure OF any
championships.
Abilene has a half back that is Sec
ond to none in the state. This per-
SON is Bud Huffman who plays
right half for A. H. s. He is the
best defensive half back in Central
Kansas and very few excel him on
offense. He does all the forward
passing'for the high school and can
kick well when the occasion demands.
Huffman weighs 165 pounds, is built
very short and stoclty and is terror
to all high school teams in this part
OF the state.
a large part of Abllene's success
is ope to the coaching of orrin sni-
der an old high school star. His ex-
pcr.ence is Of great value to The team
and they never lose an opportunity
Of taking advantage of what be
teaches them.

William Collier, whom Charles Froh-
man will present at the Grand. Daven.

and together they starred in "Hoss and
Hoss,'' musical farce, which was Col
her's first attempt as a playwright,
and an immensely successful one. At
the end of one year Reed died, and
Collier continued with the piece for
two years more, after which he let 1t
out on royalty and finally sold it.
1t is singular fact that Collier new
er took the part of a young man until
six or seven years ago. As an actor,
he hn order. Nf g

After Hess and Hoss,'' the high spots
in his. career were THE Man from
Mexico" Mr. Smooth" which he
wrote himself; Little Christopher

written by Augustus Thomas for Nat
Goodwin, but turned out to be one of
Mr. Golfers greatest successes; an
engagement with Weber and Fields;

There have been posted in local

The change effective May 10 is for
carload lots of live stock shipped from
points east of the Mississippi river to
points in Missouri and the Missouri

Notices of these changes is made fol
lowing the recent action of western

commerce commission a statement of
the proposed rate change. In nearly
every instance the change is skyward.
All tri-city industries will be affected,
in that it is the intention to increase
tariffs on practically every commodity,
consigned to territory bounded by the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, IL TO
90 per cent.
There is a general advance in
freight rates on implements shipped
from here to Minnesota and Wiscon-

items affecting local stations is an ad-

pounds on implements shipped from
local factories to st. Paul and points
beyond in carload lots.
1t is reported that the live stock
rates from Mississippi river points to
Chicago will be raised in a few days
to offset the advance in the price of
dressed beef.
Not Making Money!
The supposition is that the railroads
have been losing money as result of
rates now in vogue. There is little
possibility that the interstate COM
MERGE commission will take stand
against the increase in rates and an
null them, as. according to one railroad
man:
There is no law, so far as l know.
which gives them the power to annul.
1t is only required that the railroads
file their new rates with the commits
