There is more catarrh In this Sec
ton OF the country than all other
diseases put together. and until the
last few years was supposed to be
lncurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced II local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by cbntantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced It in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, Is the only constltu-
tional cure on the market. II is taken
internally In doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonfuL II acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case II fails to cure.

THEY WANT WATER.
Residents Of North Abilene Circulate
Petition.

Z For some time residents OF the
north part of town have been COM
planning that during the sprinkling
hours they are often unable to get
any water at all.
This condition Of affairs has
caused much dissatisfaction and the
city commissioners have been SUD
jected to unjust criticism.
But definite action has been taken
which may solve the difficulty foy
next summer If not for this. A petit
ton to install new standpipe some
where on the high ground in the
north part of town was drawn and
has been circulated among many 81
the residents in that section. TINS
paper is meeting with much success
as the water condition has been
very trying these dry days and the
people feel that when they pay foI
the water they should be able to
get 1t.

WOMEN DRIVERS ARE MANY.
Abilene Has Large Number Handling
Motor Cars Well.

"More women are driving motor
cars in Abilene than any city of its
size in the country" said the fac
tory man Of the Buick company who
was here today on business with
E. E. Coulson, the agent of the COM
pany. ut looks fine to see so many
women driving cars. Probably De-
troit, Michigan, has more women
drivers than any city in the country
but Abilene beats 1t in proportion
to it's population. Most women like
small cars and that class Of cars
is becoming very popular on that
account. OF the present output OF
the Buick factory, $50 cars a day,
we are turning our 1O5 cars OF a
small model easy for women to
handle and drive. l notice that your
women drivers here are familiar with
the rules of the road and they could
drive in any city without getting
tangled up with the ordinances"

Less Moisture Than Any Half Year
ON Record.

The first six months Of 1911 VIII

half year in DickinsoR's history. The
rainfall and snow moisture since
January LIST has been: January none
February 6 inches, March " inch
April TX inches, May IN inches
June X inch, total . Y inches. Pre-
ceding January the total moisture
for September list to January Is;
was " inch, so that less than 10
inches Of moisture has fallen here
in ten months. Some parts OF the
county have done better but that
is Abilene's record.
Compared with the dry years Of
the eos 1t makes poor showing
For instance the first six months Of
1890 had 17.45 inches; 1891, 21.0l
inches; 1892, 1925 inches; 1898,
1854 inches; 1894, 1902 inches;

1928 inches. The driest June in
the COS was 1892 when only .69
inch of rain fell. slightly more than
the past month.
1t is undeniable that corn is In
serious condition. 1t has withstood
the heat remarkably well, all thinge
considered but even under best con-
ditions the crop. will be shortened
and few more days without a soak
ing rain will end its usefulness. The
wheat, however, is turning out fine
and will yield over 100000 bush
els off the $4,000 acres harvested
in this county.

SEWER CONTRACTORS MUST
MAKE NUMEROUS REPAIRS
They Asked for $500 Extra But Gel
Only $403.65.

The report Of O. q. Noble, tine
Manhattan engineer who was en-
ployed to make the final estimate
on the sewer to the river, was re-
ceived today. In 1t he says: the
concrete of which the sewer was
constructed is first class. Through
out the sewer the concrete was well
handled and well mixed" Inspector
John sauer is justly proud OF this
commentator as he had charge OF
overseeing this work.
But the engineer says that there
are several faults. The finish 81
the interior is poor and there should
be several things done before the
city accepts 1t. The bacF filling
and Ieveling should be completed
Twenty feet of the top down neal
the river should be replaced or chisel'
ed out to proper size and finish. Thit
section may have to be rebuilt. Dir
and trash should be removed from
the interior. Broken places mus
be repaired. ~
The contractors, Snyder and Pc
terson, have been notified that they
must do all this before the city will
accept the work.
The contractors asked that they
be paid $1,000 for extra work not
called for in the specifications. The
engineer says that they are entitled
to $493.65.
