ANOTHER IOWA CONVENTION.
Republican State Meeting Will es Hello
1fl$k .l,,Iu


pes Moines, June 24-Most Of the
Iowa republicans who attended the ma
tional convention at Chicago have al
to consider the next step in the politi
cal game. For Iowa this means the
republican state convention. July 10.
All county conventions in the state arc
to be held next Saturday, at which
time there we'll be delegates selected to
attend the state and district conven
tions. The principal interest in the
state convention is the selection of two
candidates for the supreme bench. 1t
Is expected that a hard fight will be
made to unseat the two present men,
bers who nave been obnoxious to the
corporations and the liquor interests.
There is little doubt, that. in gen
eral way. the progressives will control
the convention and prepare platform
that will materially aid in holding the
party together during the pending
campaign.
The count of the vote OF thes tate
shows that seventy of the ninety nine
counties Of the state wentp rogressive
on governor. The total vote for Ken
yon for senator was 124.1s0, and his
majority 1888. The vote for Clarke.
the progressive candidate for govern
nor. was s9.1O7, and his plurality was
20.306. The vote for Clarke for COVER
nor was larger than the vote for Garst.
progressive. in either Of the previous
campaigns.
1t seems probable, in view Of the
character of the state ticket. that moth
ing that has happened to split up the
party nationally. will affect seriously
the state, or legislative tickets.

city Pafk Was Crowded with abb
1cneites Last Night.

How popular park in Abilene
would bel
The first concert in the new band
stand last night was attended by the
largest number Of spectators that
ever was present at q Friday night
concert given by the Abilene, military
band. Over 1000 persons were
there. The large grassy lawn fur
nished a delightful place for Abb
leneites to sit and listen to the mu-
sic. 1t was thickly dotted with peo-
pie and the streets surrounding the
park were crowded with automobiles
and buggies.
The handsome new band stand in
the center and the lawn filled with
appreciative spectators, presented a
pleasing picture that will be repeated
many evenings during the summer
months.
To celebrate the occasion and
highly elated over the new stand,
the band furnished excellent music
for two hours and was heartily ap-
plauded after each selection.
No one grumbled last night be-
cause there were no benches in the
park, but everyone was satisfied to
squat ON the lawn. However.
benches are to be placed in the park
soon.
The occasion last night was evil
dent proof that a park in Abilene
would be appreciated. A pleasant
place to spend the hot summer even
ings is what Abilene needs. The
city commissioners deserve much
credit in fitting up such pleasant
place for Abileneites TO go. although
only for one night each week.
Two band concerts are to be given
next week, Wednesday and Friday
nights.
The gravel sidewalks are to be
put in Monday.

ZINE, FINE" SAYS o'BRIEN.
Fire Team Performed in Good Style
For Fire Inspector.

Zine, fine" said Deputy Fire IN
spector O'Brien last evening as he
watched the Abilene fire team make
a practice run. "You have the best
running team l have ever seen. Yes,
think Abilene has ample fire pro-
lection with team like that" When
O'Brien said fine, he meant 1t, for
with several years experience as
firefighter in Chicago he knows a
good fire team when he sees 1t.
Nip and Tuck, the Abilene fire
team, must have known that some
state officer was watching them last
night, for they made run that was
in a class by itself--superlative.
From the time the team left the
fire station until water was thrown
on the Union Pacific park only 55
seconds had elapsed. The firemen
worked together in fine style. Jack
Dobkins and Roy Shearer made the
hydrant connection and had the
water turned on before Charles Cur
tbs and Fire Chief Engle alighted
from the wagon to attach the nozzle.
However, nozzle was attached to the
hose five seconds before water was
thrown.
Mr.. O'Brien spent today inspecting
the buildings of Abilene. "1he Sc
curity Mills will have to install a
fire escape" said he land the Abb
lene milling company will have to
change theirs. The moving picture
theatres will have to arrange
for better fire protection. Aside from
these, only few minor changes will
have to be made"

BUT FOR ROOSEVELT
TAFT WOULD HAVE LOST.

Washington, June 29.-With the
return to Washington of many of
the Republican leaders who aided in
the denomination of President Taft,
the president learned for the first
time that there were minutes dur
ing the convention when his nomina-
ton hung by a thread.
Colonel Roosevelt, according to
one leader, had the opportunity with
in his grasp to stand aside, throw
his strength to a compromise candi-
date and see both himself and Presi-
dent Taft eliminated from the con-
test The president told callers that
to Mra Roosevelt he owed his nomina-
ton in 1908 and to Mr.. RooseV cit,
more than to any other man, he
owed his denomination last Satur-
day night.
Although some of the Taft leaders
profess that there never was any
danger of defections in their ranks,
others are known to have openly
talked of a compromise candidate
and to have made advances to some
of the adherents of Colonel Roose-
welt. According to the reports
brought back to Washington these
offers went to Mr.. Roosevelt these
they were turned down. He would
not listen to stalk of a third man
and the Taft leaders, seeing no OPP
portunity to "get together" went
ahead and renominated the presi-
dent.

KEEP UP YOUR LICK
SWATTING THE FLIES.

This is the time that the fight on
the flies must be redOubled. The flies
that have escaped the swatting so
far are beginning to be obnoxious
and the thing to do is to get after
them in every conceivable manner.
Some of the merchants are putting
up the fly traps in front of their
places of business and a wholesale
practice of this as we'll as of using
them around the homes will help to
make the town as nearly flyless as
possible.
The best manner to fight the lit
tie fly" said one of the physicians,
'is to keep everything clean" Give
them no chance to congregate and
this will help as much as anything
to keep flies away and also fm1
prove the health.

HANK IN TROUBLE.
Lived With Indian Girl He Alleged
Was His Wife.

Alligator Hank, who recently gave
an exhibit at Abilene has just been
arrested at Manhattan on an ugly
charge. The Manhattan Mercury
says:
Because he has been living with
sixteen year old CIR land represent
ing her to be his wife, Alligator Hank
who was to open an engagement at
the Wareham air dome last night,
was arrested by Sheriffs Schermer-
horn and Harbes of Riley and Geary
county, respectively. The officers
made the arrest about Z o'clock last
night. The two alligators were put
into one of the dressing rooms OF
the theatre where they. will be kept
pending the outcome of their owners
trial.
The girl in the case is being de-
tanned at Junction City as the prose-
cutting witness. She is a half-breed
Indian girl who says she first met
the prisoner in a small town in Okla
homa. To an officer she said she
was desirious of getting away from
the man and wanted to return home,
but by making threats he had man
aged to hold her.
Sheriff Harbes of Geary county
wired Sheriff Schermerborn yester-
day morning to keep an eye on the
man until he could arrive with the
warrant and make the arrest. The
officer returned to Junction City with
his prisoner in an automobile last
night. A charge of statutory rape
will be preferred against him in
Geary county where the crime was
committed.

PAID YOUR Personal TAXES?
Have Till July 14--After That Look
Out for Sheriff.

If you have not paid your personal
taxes, your personal property is liza
BILE to be confiscated by the sheriff.
OF course before the sheriff will takc
possession Of your property he Will
serve you with warrant. But this
is expensive as the sheriff charges
about SO costs for serving the war
rant. July IA Is the last day that
personal taxes can be paid. If they
are not paid by that date they will
be turned over to the sheriff.
The list of delinquents is small
this year. County Treasurer Morse
is sending notices to persons who
have paid the first half of the taxes.
but who have neglected to pay the
last half-notifying them of the PEN
atty. 1t is not required by law to
send out these notices.
