MEN WANT
LOWER BINDER TWINE.

n, J, Hodge left for Chicago to
attend y session Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Implement
dealers are having lively fight with
the railroads on account OF recent
ruling in regard TO binder twine. 1t
seems that an order has been Issued,
to become effective Feb. Is, abrogat-
ing the rule which permitted the
loading of binder twine in cars with
implements, raising the minimum
weight Of carloads of twine from
"a 900 to 10000 lbs and discontin-
uing the privilege heretofore granted
of stopping cars In transit for par
tally unloading.
The privilege OF mixing Vthese
commodities has been in existence
ever since binder twine came into
general use, and to be deprived OF
same will compel most dealers to
chip both implements and twine by
local freight. This means greatly
increased cost, which the dealers
cannot absorb. A very small per-
rentage of dealers can afford to buy
30 900 lbs. of twine, and to be un-
able to mix their shipments or to
join with dealers in neighboring
towns in making up carloads Is caus-
ing them no small amount of un-
easiness and they have filed protest
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. They claim that inasmuch
as the Commission prevented the
railroads from putting into effect
the proposed advanced rates in 1910
the latter are now trying to increase
their revenue by manipulating the
classifications.
The case will be heard in Chicago
and II. J. Hodge has been delegated
by the dealers to look after their

tends from Minnesota to Texas and

ience last Friday to a violin pupil,

daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
b. Meserve, formerly of Dickinson.
Naomi Meserve is ten years old. She
has been studying the violin for
three years. At the outset her in
structors realized that theirs was a
most apt pupil and one who was
bound to master her art. With the
encouragement which she received
yesterday, her parents have deter
mined that neither time nor money
will be spared in giving her the very
best in violin training. The young
vielinist is a niece Of w. H, Brough-

KANSAS DELEGATION VOTED
AGAINST RAISE IN RATES.

the insurance rates of the Modern
Woodmen order" said c. P. Snyder
today, who has Just returned from,
the adjourned meeting of the Mod

the report OF the committee from
the Buffalo meeting. t'The change
in the rates does not affect the
young man between the ages Of 20
and 40 as ii does the older mem
bers. Altogether the rates are near
ly doubled. The Abilene members
do not feel well toward the raise.
However, the head officials claim
that this readjustment was all that
saved the order. The talk of seces-

Next Fourth OF July you can peace
fully dwell in Sunderland until your
regular getting up time or sleep un-
til you feel like rising. You can
drive your horse through the busi-
ness part OF town without fear Of
having your buggy capsized by your
horse being frightened out OF years
growth at cannon cracker exploded
under its nose. You can take q quiet
stroll about town and not be disturb
ed by having torpedoes thrown At
your feet, and by having some one
sneak, up behind you and shoot off
a blank pistol, causing your heart
to Jump nearly into your mouth.
In other words Abilene is to have
a sane Fourth of July. The city
commissioners this morning adopted
an ordinance which will put damper
on all such things.
The ordinance prohibits the shoot
ing of and dfscharging gof certain ex-
plosives and provides punishment
for the same. A person dare not
shoot off, explode or cause to be
shot off or exploded within the city
limits, fire crackers three inches or
more in length, blank cartridges, tor
pedoes, Chinese bombs, dynamiting
caps, canes or cap pistols. This does
not apply to Fourth of July alone
but from January to December 81,
Of each year.
II you violate this ordinance you
will be liable to a fine of not less
than $1.OO. and not more than $25.
You youngsters with your cap pistols
would better be relegating the would
be weapons to he attic before they
cause you 20 be jerked into police
court.
This ordinance will be met with q
unanimous shout of "Amen" by the
majority of Abileneites. The usual
custom of the youngsters has been
to rise about four o'clock In the
morning on the Fourth and awaken
the whole community by exploding
giant fire crackers, cannons and
blank pistols. Many youngster

but the firemen could not find any
trace of fire at L. D. Toliver's resi-

away" said A. L. Hauserman today,
"and we thought that whatever was
on fire was a goner. We stripped
the wagon of the chemicals and lad
ders and made thorough inspection
Of the house, but could not locate
any fire. 1t probably came from a
flue, but all the pipes and flues were
in good condition when We examined

But he is gone! Another name
is stricken from the ever lessening
roll of our old settlers, and soli-
tary woman in the sunset OF life,
and lonely home, are left to attest
how sadly they will miss him. Yet
in such a death there is really no
cause for grief. His life work was
done and well done. He had passed
his three score years and wearied
with life's duties and cares, weary
oE suffering and waiting, he lay down
to rest.
Although member of no church,

honorable life, the teachings Of the
golden Nale, and unfaillngly evinced
practical piety that win long be
remembered as the best of profess

about his life which won every heart.
Among the businessmen OF Enterprise
of which he was one for SO many
years, he was held in the highest
regard and when he died the grief
that was felt over his long career
was deep and sincere. In honor OF
this good man the businessmen pre-
