Will BIZ PLENTY OF NOISE.


] The merchants have unpacked thell
Fourth Of July goods and have taker
those left over from last year out o.
the storage room and have them now
on display. The stock Of goods this
year Is practically the same as In
previous years. However, few
new kinds OF noise makers have been
sprung. There will not be any cele-
bration here the Fourth but leave It
to the "kids"-they will get rid Of
the fireworks.
The merchants have already made
sales to the youthful buyers and the
crack and bang has begun. There is
an ordinance which depriyes the
youngsters Of this privilege and City
Policeman Engle will be kept busy
from now until the Fourth keeping
the noise muffled.
About the only new thing turned
out this year is a repeating cap pis-
toll. The pistol shoots fifty times
reloading. The caps come In
boxes Of five Filings to the box. Each
filling contains fifty caps and until
the fifty caps are shot off 1t is not
necessary to reload the gun. 1t is
said that these pistols are a great
deal safer than any other thing ever
invented In the toy gun line.
The good old sky rockets roman
candles, ETC., are on the market this
rear and they are Just the same as
,ver. They are favorites with the

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ED9
saIinn journal Says Spanish War
Vets Are Sore.

salina Journal: Only two from
Salina attended the meeting Of the
Spanish War veterans at Kansas
City. DR.. Cockey returned last
night. He Is not very enthusiastic in
his views of the reception given the
visitors, and says that on the whole
the reunion was not success.
He reports that Col. Ed G. Little,
who has been department comman-
der the past two years, did not APP
pear at all the first day Of the en-
campment, and says the meeting was
by no means as successful as the one
held at salina a year ago.
II was Col. Little who scored the
Salina boys when he was here last
year because they did not favor his
reelection as commander. He criti-
cised the treatment given the visitors
by the Salina people and he in person
invited the boys to hold this years
meeting at Kansas City, promising
that he would show what good treat
ment really means, but he allowed
the Kansas City meeting to fall flat.
All that was done Tor the visitors at
Kansas City was done by others than
Col. Little. according to those who
we're there. The boys showed their
non-appreciation Of the colonel's ac-
tons by declining to reflect him to
the high office he held last year.

BILL IS SIGNED
ABILENE no GET $70,OOO FOR
BUILDING.
waft Makes Public Building BIN .
Law and the Structure is As.
snred--M Money to be Ap.
propriated rs Needed.

Washington, June 25.-President
Taft this afternoon signed the public
buildings bill, which authorizes the
expenditure of $22, 200, 900. but does
not actually appropriate the money.
The appropriation will be left to the
next congress.
The above press dispatch tells the
exact status Of the law which orders
public building for Abilene at a
cost Of $4,000. The law does not
appropriate the money needed for
all the buildings ordered, but leaves
the appropriation to be made as need
ca. The next congress which ad-
journs MeIch 4, 1911, will appro-
propriate The money and that will be
IN time 10 The actual construction
pyhow, as it requires about two
ears from the passage Of a public
sliding bill before work begins.
But 1t is now certain that Abilene
iii get the building. The Panama
lhal was ordered when no money |
was appropriated for its completion,
but It Is being provided as needed
and the same process is followed in
public building affairs.
The Record-Herald's Washington
correspondence explains the bills
status: "The appropriation Of the
various amolnts was purposely avoid
ed at this time. 1t is the intention
Of the friends Of the law to enact q
law next December, making apprO-
priation to cover the various items.
"The understanding prevails that
ID public building law will effective
commit Congress to the appropria-
ln Of the amounts carried in each
Inn and that therefore no delay or s
lficulty OF any kind will be exper- !
need by the executive departments. {
