N6w Order IL Issued By The RaiIrcad
s company.

@sIEe who seeks equity must DO 20
With clean hands" Thus saith the
5ndges Of all courts Of equity.
me who wishes to hold his Job as
snEineer, fireman, conductor, flag
nan or brakeman must come into
tsrminals with unclean hands and
dirty faces"
Thus saith, in effect at least, the
ppwers that be on the Union Pacific
railroad.
The Union Pacific has fewer bad
wrecks than any other road In the
country, according to Interstate com
merce statistics. BY making the en-
ployees in train service come into
aerninals with unkept clothes and
a,nclean hands and faces 1t expects 70

Assistant General Manager Ware
cas- issued the order only after clos
ct investigation. He finds that the
Rigeest wrecks on his road occur at
terminal points and have usually been
caused By the fact the engineer and
fireman, instead Of being in the cab
watching diligently for some Sign OF
warning or some obstruction on the
tracks, have been down in the gang

He cites cases where every member
Of the train crew, fireman, engineer,
brakeman and conductor, was I'm the
clear sprucing up for entrance to
the terminals and the train was en-
tlrely unprotected. He takes the
trainmen to task for the danger such
action places the public in, especially
90 larger cities.
In the future, intimates the operat-
ing official Of one Of the biggest rail7
road systems in the country, It will
be- prima facie evidence that the
trainman, no matter in what depart
ment, has been guilty Of violating
shis rule II he comes into a terminal

plainly that he is expecting his "best

ordinarily dirty" faces or It will be
chalked up against his record, and ne

system Of demerit marks.
The men realize the value Of the
criticism and are passing the word all
along the line and 1t is expected
that few violations will follow its
prpmulgatlon.

SOLOMON FIRM is ROBBED.
Thieves Secured Big Haul in Sellards'
Mercantile Co.'s Store.

Solomon, Nov. 26.-Thieves broke
into the sellards Mercantile Company
store here early this morning and
helped themselves to good from the
stock valued at over $1,000, together
with S1S.4O in money found in the
cash register. No clue to the identity
Of the guilty parties has been found
The stolen goods consisted OF
twelve or fifteen mems overcoats val
ued at over s225, S5 or 40 ladies'
suits worth over TACO, thirteen ladies'
skirts, three suits Of mems clothing
three or four silk waist patterns,
and all but one Of some fifteen OF
twenty pieces Of silk goods that were
| kept in stock.
The burglars gained entrance ia
he store through a rear window. They
appear to have gone about their work
deliberately, and were evidently good
judges Of values and quality. The
articles taken were the best in the
stock, the cheapest skirt that the
thieves would degin to accept being
priced at $3.50. They also tried
to open the safe. which was unlocked
and contained $40 or $50 in silver,
but in working with the door they
threw the lock and shut themselves
out. Sheriff Young is here working
on the case.

sALINA is HURT.
Citizens Moving Away Because There
Are Better Towns.

salina is sore all over and just be-
cause one family found that Abilene
is far better place to live in and
educate its children. From any point
of view Abilene is superior to Salina.
Take our famous Sand Springs water
a. an example. Abilene residents
don't have to worry about fever
germs. We have the purest water
in the state, and Salina lives on river
water. Abilene Is also one Of the
cieanest towns in the state, both NOR
ally and from q sanitary point OF
view. Things have been SO quiet here
for the past several years that day
marshal has been dispensed with
and very few arrests are made for
disturbances OF any kind. No hog
pens are allowed within the city linz
It's and chickens are not even allowed
to run at large.
The educational advantages Of abb
lene are unexcelled.
No one should be blamed for Sc
lecting Abilene as a place Of resi-
denee as against Salina where the
police court is busy every morning
with It's offenders, the mayor even
not being exempt from insult If out
alone after dark Booze Is sold al
most openly, and joints Of all kinds
are in evidence.

Salina Journal in It's Monday ISSUE.

THIS FOR BILL WHITE.
Data for a New ''BOyviIle" Story
Right Here in Abilene.

II William Allen White had step
ped in to the office of q well known
Abilene business man this morning
he would have found abundant ma
terial for another Of those famous
"Boyyille" stories, said material be-
ing the contents of the pockets Of the
business mans ten-year-old son,
which an untoward accident exposed
to the rude gaze Of the public.
The young man came uptown to see
dad this morning. Whereupon
an evil spirit prompted father to look
In one of the filial pockets. Then
and there the owner Of the pocket
was subjected to the indignity OF a
search, with the neigbors looking on.
Here is an inventory of what father
found: / empty rifle shell, / piano
stop. nails (rnstyy assorted sizes,
/ tin whistle, / empty tooth powder
box ("sanitor'), 1 bolt and burr, !
knife, NO STRING! brass casting,
l piece Of steel, / pulley, twelve PEN
ellis (assorted sizes and colors), !
two-inch piece electric light carbon
/ telegraph operators battery key
rubber erasers (half Doz.), 1 safety
pin, half a waste basket full Of folded
paper.
That boy evidently has great tut
ure before him. His youth is being
spent in the proper environment.

that the interests of their mu-

of revenue which is derived from
permitting the operation of car

and moral status of the town

the alleged carnival companies
several of which have visited
Cheraw and sold their wares
here-do not furnish entertain
ment which is either pleasing or
entertaining. Instead Il is so
much hoydsnish dri. .el that is
not worth the patronage of peo-
ple who lay claim to discrimi-
mating degrees of intelligence. It
is not only disgusting but often
indec' Mt, and In citiss could not

We are particularly interested in

any good. They have carried

taken from the people under false
pretenses, in that they did not

They have been allowed to op-

The place that gives man his
living is entitled to his best ef-
forts TO advance everything cal
calated to benefit the place and
the community. No man has
right TO live in a live town who
seeks to enrich himself and not
actively identify himself with it's
interests. TO be classed as a
drone or chronic kicker and op-
posed to every measure believed
to be for the good of the citizens
is stigma that should attach to
no man in the corporation. The
improvements necessary to be
made and the manner Of making
them a monument to the enter
