In the account of the fair given On Sum-
day, May 8. under the auspices of Pro-
eective Hose Company No 4. which ap-
peared in last weeks Chief, it was stated
chat the handsome silk flag presented to
che company had been accepted On be-
half of the organization by Miss Nellie
Forrest. the attractive daughter of Road
master G. E. Forrest of the Texas and
Pacific Railway. We have since learned
that Master LeoFontana also participated
in the interesting ceremonies, having as
sisted Miss Forrest in accepting the beau
Ciful emblem for the company. The cor
gectign of QUE original report is made with
pleasure.
The Chief is indebted 10 Gilbert Landry
for fine mess of Irish potatoes. which
Mr.. Landry very kindly presented us with
last Saturday. The potatoes are of ex-
ceptional size and fine flavor. notWith-
standing the unfavorable weather condi-
tions under which they were produced.
Had MIR. Landry's crop enjoyed the bene-
fit of an occasional shower during the
growing season there is no telling what
size his potatoes may have attained. AS
it is. they are splendid specimens in
every respect and illustrate in no small
measure Mr.. Landry's skill as a farmen
and the wonderful fertility of the soil of
this section.

Robert Young Feels Good Over the
Award--Ray Benham's Story.

Robert Young, the brakeman who
was awarded $1,000 and medal, was
also recognized by the Union Pacific
j. o. Brinkerhoff wrote him several
months ago: "Your action of sell
sacrifice in rlsking your own life to
save another at Abilene April 90
1909, has been noted and commented
upon by the management and others,
and | am pleased to be able to hand
you the enclosed voucher for $25 as
slight token Of the company's ap-
probation"
The Junction City Union says:
''Mr, and Mrs. Young were feeling
pretty good today over the news, and
they say that the money would be
used in building a home. When asked
how he happened to make a jump un-
der the train and why he risked his
life, Mr.. Young said that he never
thought of his own life, fearing only
that the boy would be killed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Young have three children"
Ray Benham today told the Re-
Hector exactly how the accident hap
pened. He is a bright boy and tells
his story clearly. He said: II havr
an umbrella but could see out
on all sides. attempted to start
around three cars which were cut
loose and one end of one car projected
out over the crossing. l could not
see the engine and the cars for 1t was
up at Buckeye. l started around
and as stepped on the track they
ran some other cars in against those
and as they struck me he jumped
and grabbed me and intended to
throw one-arm over the coupling
and hang onto 1t until the car stop
ped, but missed his hold and we
both went under the car. He held
onto me by the front of my coat
with one arm and threw the other
arm over the beam and we both
were dragged till he thought nobody
was going to stop the train. He then
told me lay still and he let go of me
and sprung out between the wheels
and stopped the car just as the other
truck was close to me, and he saved
my life. My leg was badly mangled
and the bone is decaying."

Keen the Balance Up.

It has been truthfully said that
any disturbance of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least imprudence brings on sick
ness, weakness or debility. The sys-
TEN needs a tonic, Graves IT, and
should not be denied It; and the best
tonic of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance Of health, gives
It the same distinction as a preVen-
tive that It enjoys as cure. Its
early use has illustrated the wisdom
OF the old saying that a stitch In time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite.

SURPRISED THE PREACHER.
Rev. Mr.. SOlt and Family Had Some
Pleasant Callers.

| IF pursuance of we'll laid plans
unknown to Rev. A. Solt and wife
many friends and neighbors gather
ed IN the home at 210 East Fourth
yesterday evening to surprise them
A well laid plan to take them to
the country for the day was carried
bib M every detail, Notwithstanding
SE1SactiY day and Mrs. Picking took
.~k.&erges Samuel Romberger's near
Talmaks- and in their absence all
things were arranged in the home,
so when o'clock came about so
guests were anxiously awaiting in
their home for their return. When
the sentinels announced their arrl-
val all was qrlet and as they slipped
into the room they soon were "pris-
oners of peace" and surrendered
without a struggle.
After quiet was restored Rev.
Hobbs, pastor of the Evangelical
church, arose and with a few well
chosen words, did not reveal to them
the real surprise, but led them into
a we'll laid plan, and bidding Bro.
and Sister Solt to follow, we repaired
to the dining room where no well
ladened table was found, but bare
table, surrounded with a beautiful
set of dining chairs and one guest
chair met our gaze. In a befitting
way the pastor presented the chairs
as a gift from their children, Hattie
and Clinton, and the table, fine
quarter sawed pedestal oak, as a
present from the Abilene society Of
the Evangelical church and friends.
This was surprise No. 2; Leading
them out into the kitchen, already
installed was Monarch steel range,
as a gift from Abilene district as a
token of respect to our presiding eld-
er and wife.
"Blest be the tie that binds" was
sang and Rev. Hope led in prayer,
and after a few remarks by Rev.
Solt expressing their gratitude, re-
freshments were served and pleas
ant evening was spent in the home
and a musical program was rendered.
Rev. solt is presiding elder in Abb
lene district of the Evangelical church
and is beginning his third year In
the district. He, with his family,
have lived among us for over two
years and have won their way into
the hearts Of many. Under the su-
pervision of Rev. Solt Abilene dis
trict has forged her way from third
to first in rank as districts in the
conference.
Bro. and Sister Solt request US on
their behalf to thank the Abilene
society and friends for the valuable
gifts. The gifts are appreciated, but
the loving hearts that gave the gifts
are appreciated above the gifts. May
the blessings of God ever attend
Bro. solt and family.
