ABILENE BILL IN MAY is.

ported This Month.

Congressman Bartold of st. Louis,
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations for public buildings,

report to the house May Is, the re-

lions for appropriations for public
buildings and that he expected action
would be taken upon the bill toward
the closing days of the session.
1t is expected that the bill will be
reported in the senate at the same
time. 1t is this bill that determines
the fate of the appropriation for the
Abilene postoffice for which Con-
gresham Calderhead has recommend
ed an appropriation of 100000. 1t
is not probable that the full sum
will be appropriated but half will be
plenty.

1T Is NO BLUFF.

Information from Leavenworth Is
to the effect that plans are complete
and ground purchased and work will
soon begin on G. w. Parker's new
factory. A lot of persons in Abilene
have stood around and declared Par
ker's announcement that he would
move was a bluff. We are sorry 1t Is
not, Charlie Parker has done more
to advertise Abilene than any busi-
ness firm in it. One business firm
informs us that his going means a
loss of $4,000 a year to it. Other
thousands are spent in other ways to
say nothing of rs to so families all
dependent on the Parker shops. 1t
will be a long time before Abilene
gets another institution to take Its
Mace and after he Is gone 1t Will
gladly put up a bonus Of $4,000 to
any firm that will move here and do
as much business as he. 1t would
have been very sensible for Abilene
to have made a hearty effort to re-
tain the Parker shops and 1t was
worth any reasonable expense to do
It. 1t is better to help while business
houses are here and keep them here
than to let them go and then try to
replace them. Abilene will see its
mistake some day If 1t does not real
ize II now.

CHAPMAN PUT UP A
PRETTY BUT LOSING FIGHT
AbiIene's Team Was Too Much for
Visitors.

In a swatfest held at>the ball park
yesterday afternoon Abilene defeated
Chapman after a lively brush. The
home talent piled up total Of thir-
teen scores while the visitors were
gathering six. Chapman started out
like winners and scored four runs In
the second inning but the town boys
came back strong and easily won the
game.
The nothing doing sign was hung
out by both teams the first inning.
In the second session Chapman
started things. The first two men up
walked and Anderson beat out a
slow infield grounder. The bases
were loaded and Kirk uncorked a
single scoring Brechbill and Perrill.
Kirk was caught in trap between
first and second but the ball was
thrown away and all hands were safe,
Anderson scoring on the play.
scanlon flied and Kirk scored on
the throw in. The visitors annexed
two more in the third and that fin
ished their scoring.
In Abilene's half Of the third they
did things. Harris, the fast LETT
fielder began the inning with a home
run when the bali was lost in the
alfalfa. Monroe hit to right for one
sack. Ehrgott followed Muggsy's ex-
ample with one of the same variety
advancing Monroe to third. Ehrgott
stole second but was caught of the
bag. Fowler hit one too hot for
scanlon to handle clearly and was
safe at first. Fowler stole second
and McGreagor walked. Bauer sing
led scoring Monroe and Fowler.
Fleming hit to short and the ball
was thrown to the plate to catch the
runer but Scanlon missed the heaVe
and McGregor and Bauer scored Oh
the play. Harris hit one to deep
right but Anderson made a spectacu-
lar catch and that ended the inning.
In the fourth Abilene spiked the
pan for three more runs. Evidently
they did not think this was enough
for in the fifth they mixed up an
error and five hits for five more runs
This bringing Abilene's score up to
grand total of thirteen. The game
was called in the seventh to allow
the visitors to catch a train.
