SOLOMON RIVER is ON TEAR.
Rising Upstream Rapidly and the
Farmers Fear Trouble.

Solomon, Aug. 10.-With the Solo,
mon river at Bennington nearly
leaving its banks at noon
and already spreading over the banks
a few miles above, the farmers along
the river are preparing for flood.
The slow rise two days previous caus-
ed belief that the water would not
leave its banks here despite the aw-
full flood conditions on the Solomon
near Beloit and Downs, a few days
since.
But today comes the distressing
news that the Solomon river at Min
neapolis rose 10 inches during the
night, and is still rising, which In
dicates at least foot more water
here and that will send it over the
banks north of here.
The only damage anticipated is to
adjoining corn fields, which Will I'M
doubtedly be badly flooded. The
fields adjoining the river in the VIC
Unity Of Minneapolis are now flooded
Big drifts continue to pass down
the river, and there are any num-
| Der of carcasses of hogs and cattle
floating down stream, indicating
heavy losses in this line above A
report here today is to the effect
that the motor boat in which Sam
Harvey lost his life, passed down
stream through Bennington at an
early hour today. Their report IL
not generally credited, as the boat
having sunk after the accidents, II
is not known how 1t could have riser
to the surface OF Its own accord.
The body Of Sam Harvey has moi
yet been recovered, and it is believed
that 1t will not be found until 1t risei
to the surface of the river.
The river is rising quite rapidly
here today.

GOING AFTER GOOD ROADS.
Enterprise Is Making Town Easy for
the Farmers.

Abilene would better wake up to
the good roads proposition II 1t does
not want Chapman and Enterprise
to get Its trade on the east. Chap
man has spent hundreds of dollars
improving the roads to that town.
Indian hill has been made a fine
highway. Abilene has never touched
the hill east OF town on the Detroit
road and as the Grant township
board does not touch 1t that hill
has become terror to every farmer
with a motor car and is rocky road
oven for wagons, ~
Now comes Enterprise. The Push
saws: "At the commercial club meet
ing J. C. Froelich, H. Hassler and
r. w. Hoffman we're named as o.
committee to confer with the city
council of Enterprise and the town-'
shin board to see what could be done
towards purchasing rock crusher'
to be used for the improvement OF
roads leading into Enterprise Con-
siderable time was taken up discuss
sing the good roads question. q. V.
Hoffman, of the G. Hoffman and
Son Milling Co. said the mill would
gladly furnish the power to run the
crusher II the farmers would haul
the rock to and from the crusher."
Good roads have great deal to
do with trade and Abilene ought
to get busy and cooperate with the
adjoining townships to improve the
highways leading to the city. 1t
is all very well to make rate books
and keep out fake advertising but
there ought to be an active effort
to get trade to town by making 1t
as easy to come to Abilene as 1t Is
to go to Enterprise and Chapman.

motion of the car is transmitted to
these cylinders and to the piston
resulting in constant compression OF
the air in the cylinder. II the air
cushion, therefore, receives the shock

of it over any surface, 1t practically
absorbs all that shock.-Holland.

The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-

pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.

SANTA FE AFTER THE
BUSINESS OF NORTHWEST
ReIaylng Superior Branch Line with
Heavy Rails.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway company is relaying the
Strong City branch with heavy steel
This is the line which runs from
Strong City through Abilene to su-
perior, Neb., a distance of 156 miles
It is one of the most important
branch lines of the Santa Fe system,
traversing a rich agricultural coun-
try, and serving 81 good towns.
There is a rumor that the Santa
Fe has an eye on the business OF
the great northwest, and that an ex-
tension of the Strong City branch
through Nebraska and the Dakotas
to a Canadian connection is within
the realm of the possible. The re-
port, doubtless, is continuation OF
gossip in railroad circles that the
Santa Fe lately entered Joplin, Mo-,
with the view of penetrating the
country toward New Orleans. 1t is
known that the Santa Fe is arrang-
ing to extend the scope of its bust
ness in southern territory, and the
Joplin-New Orleans story was ac-
eepted as plausible. The Santa Fe
already is in Galveston. With new
line to New Orleans and another e
the Canadian border. the Santa Fe
would serve the greatest wealth pro-
ducing country in the world.
