MRS. FOsTER's BODY PINNED
BETWEEN AUTO AND TREE
Pelvic Rome Fractured and Hips
Badly Bruised in Accident.


Mrs. A. H. Foster of Bowling
Green, KY, and a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. D. e. Snider of Abilene,
had a pelvic bone fractured, her
hips badly bruised and re-
ceived a severe shake up when her
body was pinned between an auto
mobile and tree in front of r.
M. Green's residence on West Sixth
street at $3.50 o'clock last evening.
She is resting easier today.
Mrs. Foster was going to the Rock
Island depot to meet sister, Mrs.
George Hunter Of Oklahoma City.
who arrived on the evening train.
But before going to the depot she
drove to T. M. Jones home on West
Sixth street to get Miss Mildred
Phillips and Miss Irene Lemond OF
Topeka, and take them with her
Mrs2 Foster footed the horn of the
machine, but no one answered her
call. She then left the machine and
went to the house, but no one was
home. She returned to the car. r.
machine was in high gear when she
cranked the engine. 1t shot for
ward at great speed, she hanging to
the radiator. The car dashed dag
onally across the street for hun
dred feet when 1t smashed into
tree in front Of r. M. Green's house,
pinning Mrs, Fosters body between
the tree and auto. One of the front
springs struck the tree or Mrs. Fos-
ter would undoubtedly 1--we been
killed. A cut over three inches deep
was made in the tree where the
spring struck. The lights on the
machine were broken, the tenders
damaged and the guard bent.
Mrs. John Stebbings, who lives
three doors east of T. M. Jones was
sitting on the front porch OF her
home and saw the automobile run
ming away with Mrs. Foster. She
reached the automobile before II
hit the tree, but could do nothing
to stop It. Merl Dyer, Reflector
paper carrier, was delivering papers
in that neighborhood and Mrs.
stebbings called to him to stop the
machine. He tried his best to jump
on the car but It was going too fast.
Mrs. Stebbings and Merl pushed the
machine back and placed Mrs. Fos-
ter in comfortable position on the
ground until the physician arrived
10 minutes later. She was taken to
the home OF her parents by her hus-
band and j. X. Forney.
"Its a wonder it did not kill her, "
said Mrs. Stebbings this morning.
"The machine was going at an awful
rate of speed with her hanging to
the front Of the car. She called
for help and then ! knew some
thing was the matter. hurried az
fast as / could and reached the car
before 1t hit the tree, but / could
do nothing to stop It. Merl Dyer
was near and ! called to him to stop
it, but It was going too fast for him
to get It. When the car hit the tree
Mrs. Foster screamed. She did not
faint, but called to me to get her
out. Merl and l pushed the machine
back and placed her on the ground.
Then she asked US to phone to her
husband. She seemed to be suffer
ing badly"
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster and children
motored here from Bowling Green,
KY, Monday for q visit with Mrs
Fosters parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Dan

Salina wants this new railway bad
ly and is doing its best to secure 1t.
But the directors favor Abilene be-
cause it is on a more direct north
erly line to Nebraska. 1t is up to
Abilene whether or not this lown
shall have a fourth railroad. Do we
want this railroad 1t is up to you,

Abilene Strong For it Providing Road

Large Crowd Out to
Meeting Last Night.

Abilene can be on the route OF
the new Newton, Kansas & Nebraska
railroad providing It will vote $780,
900 bonds to pay for the local i'm
provements. The route proposed
starts from Newton extending straight
north to Nebraska. opening up one
of the richest sections of the middle
west not reached by railroad. When
built this road will eventually bring
about q reduction in freight rates
by making Galveston, Texas, a bas-
ing point the same as Chicago and
New York. For Abilene it will open
a rich section of country 40 miles
wide south of here not reached by
railroad and will bring new trade
to this town.
Abilene is strong for this new
railroad according to the sentiment
Of the 100 business men at a meet
ing held at the commercial club
rooms last night with the officers
and directors of this new company.
However, Abilene does not want to
be the north terminal OF this line,
but wants it to extend north into
Nebraska before putting up it's $5O,-
900. The following committee was
appointed by w. M. Sterl who pre-
sided at the meeting, to investigate
the matter: ]. B. Case, G.. A. Rog-
ers, f. s. Sails, J. e. Brewer, G. c.

des. J. M. Walters, H. G. Lifts, F.,
H. Forney, DR.. F. s. Blayney, Elmer
Engle, DR.. w. T. Triplett.
Each township through which this
road passes will be asked to raise
$4,000.
The promoters of this new rail-
way who met with the Abilene busi-
ness men were: T. H. McManus,
Newton, president of the company;
DR.. J. T. Axtell, Newton, vice presi-
dent; r. d. Glass, Canton, secre-

GOSSIP OF SOCIETY.

This morning at the library Miss
Mildred Morse gave in simple Ian
guage an interesting talk on domes-
tic science to an audience ranging
from wee tots to adults. While em-
phasizing the fact that food should
be attractive and appetizing, she
stated that it was more essential to
know the needs of the body and
what foods to prepare in right pro-
portions to meet those needs and
thus prevent disease. A third point
touched upon was the vast waste due
to ignorance OF how to make proper
use of foods. According to statis-
tics enough food is wasted each year
in the United States to feed twice
the number of its inhabitants. Miss
Morse spoke of the establishment
throughout the country of domestic
science schools for the proper train
ing of girls, and described in parti-
cular our own state domestic science
school at Manhattan. She closed her
talk by making, on chatting dish,
peanut brittle, as treat for the
children.

THE NOTE.

Il sing Of brooks. of blossoms,

To sing Of brooks. Of blossoms, birds.
n trees.
And all the rare things Of the sum
ner-tide,
When joys awning upon the playful
And all the prospects smiling as a
BRIDE
Aye, that were sweet, All worthy
themes for song.
Each speaks the bounty of a lavish
earth
The blessings are that rightly do be-
long
To them that seek the treasures Of
mirth.
Yet would I pause the while, and
seek a theme
In ways less smiling tina the
countryside.
In far-off scenes of stress I sometimes
seem
To n a voice hat may not be
denied
A voice that mid the arid scenes Of
Still lifts itself on high in notes Of
cheer
Hath for my SOU a richer. deeper
glow
Than happy bird-notes in the morn
ing clear.

Where all is fresh and sweet, and

But gives an inward happiness release,
And adds new glory to a gloried

But he whose song springs forth from

Like an oasis in some desert plain
His is the long that gives the hopeless
life,
And thrills with living JOY the

1t is easy to poke fun at the per-
formances imposed upon university

preparation for life? Rolling an un-
dressed peanut with a needle for an
eighth of a mile. while hampered by
a hobble skirt, a picture hat, and
high-heeled shoes, for instance, may
seem a rather sever test, but the
tudent who goes through it may con
graduate himself if he never wishes
in later life that he could substitute
it for the task. let us say of defend
