MOTHER FROZEN
IN HEAVY SNOW
Heroic Woman's ThOughtfuIness
Saves Little Ones Life.
CARRIED BOY UNTIL EXHAUSTED
Lost on Kansas Prairie Trying to
Walk Home-7eads Like
story Of Frontier
Days.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 3O.-After
an all night search In Dindlng
snow storm, amounting almost to
blizzard, w. D. Milton found the body
of his wife buried in the snow near
Fowler. Clinging to her breast was neI
5.year-old son. The boy was partly
protected from the cold by his
mothers body and was still alive.
He may recover.
Mrs. Milton taught school at ST.
Jacobs Well, 16 miles from Minneola'
She started home with her son In a
buggy about 4:3O o'clock in the aft9r'
noon. 1t had been showing nearly all
day and the road was blocked Win
drifts in many places, making progress
practically impossible.
The mother evidently decided to try
to reach home by walking across
fields. and, taking her son with her,
deserted the horse and buggy. AL
though her home is only two and a
half miles from the school, the body
was found four and half miles north
east. showing that she had lost her
way in the darkness, wandering IN
a circle in two feet Of snow.
She had been dead several hours
when the body was found and must
have wandered throughout most OF the
night in the cold and snow before she
stumbled and fell exhausted from ex
posure. to die with her body and
wraps protecting her little boy a
much as possible.
When the wife did not return home
at the usual time the husband became
worried and later get out to search FOL
her. He visited the school first and
found she had left there. He ther
started searching along the road lead
ing from the little country school tc
their home.
The hunt continued throughout the
night, the husband and his friends
tramping miles through the drifts and
across fields. But their efforts met
with no success until daylight came
when the body was found far from the
road and almost covered with snow
After being carried to his home and
partially revived, the little boy was
able to tell of the wanderings OF the
mother in the storm, which ended
when she could drag herself nc
farther. Part of the time she carried
her son and part of the time he STUN
bled along after her, his hand clasped
tightly in hers. Finally the boy was
unable to travel longer in the snow
which reached his armpits in places
and the mother, unable to Garry him
sank down and put her cloak arount
him.
1t was perhaps due to the fact tha

Private improvements.

Not since the boom days has such
like period showed so marked an
advance in private improvements as
has the year 1911.
The new $4,000 Masonic Temple
does credit both to the city and to
the order whose purposes it en-
shrines. 1t is one of the finest build
ings of it's kind in the state.
The new Abilene National bank
is another prominent private inn
provement. 1t was completed this
summer and Is handsome structure,
costing over $4,000. Not a better
or more practical bank building can
be found in the state and when abb
lene advances to three or four times
its present size its owners will have
no cause to feel ashamed.
The new furniture store Of ]. b
VANDERBILT on Buckeye adds much to
the appearance Of that street.
The building permits recorded
since Sept. reach over $4,000
chiefly for residence properties nov
in course OF construction.

PROPERTY CHANGES ARE UP
no BOARDS or REVIEW

According to County Assessor +. J..
Murphy. who has Just returned from
q meeting with the state tax COM
mission, the property owners OF
Dickinson county will have to watch
close next spring II they want to
have their real estate assessment
changed from what the township
assessor gives them for they viii be
denied the old system OF carrying
their complaints to the county COM
missioners as the county board OF
equalization.
According TO the new state law
creating the board Of review In each
township all individual complaints
must be filed with II and the county
board can only have a chance at
them when they are raised or the
owner Is not satisfied with the work
OF the township board. II he lets
the time pass for appearing before
this board, however, his chance Is
gone for the county board is pro-
hibited from considering other APP
peaIs. Where the assessment is
changed without any application
from the owner, either up or down,
the county board can be appealed
to, though.
The township board consists OF
the township assessor and two other
men who will be appointed some
time this spring by the county as
SCISSOR and they possess great power
in the matter of assessing the town
ship. They meet on May 3 to hear
complaints and stay in session as
long as necessary, provided 1t is not
more than seven days. Grievances
can then be brought to them and as
the board is composed of local men,
understanding the conditions, they
can generally satisfactorily adjust
conditions II the property owner IL
only asking for justice.
Then comes the meeting OF the
county board of equalization the
/ first week in June, where appeals
from the township board can be held
and township or city assessments
raised or lowered when taken as
whole, but at which no individual
grievances will be considered. A
board of review will be appointed
for the city of Abilene as we'll al
for the townships.
This new ruling is applicable ONLY
to the real estate assessments and
the assessments of the personal pro
perty may be carried to the count!
commissioners as heretofore. Th'
real estate assessments are made on
but once every two years and 1t be
hooves the land owners to see tina
their assessments are satisfactor

Record of Crimes Small.

This year Abilene stands out with
out crime to its credit. Only
minor thefts. several bootleggers cap
tured and a small number of DRINKS
gives Abilene the distinction of a
clean and moral town. That Abilene
he's in its employ only one marshal
is evidence to the fact that crime
and corrupt mis-doings have been
cast aside by Abilene.

Many Public Improvements.

Among the public improvements
the paving of all the alleys of the
business district stands as the pre-
eminent accomplishment. The cree
ton of stand pipe in the north part
Of town, will when completed, give
the citizens of that part of the city
much better water service. other
minor but needed Improvements have
been made which only goes to show
that Abilene's progress can not be
put back.

Churches Are Progressive.

Many large undertakings were
carried to a successful conclusion
by the Abilene churches this year.
The Methodist conference last spring
brought many preachers from over
the state and the Lutheran Synod
was held in Abilene this year. The
hospitality always shown by Abilene
people was appreciated by the num-
erous out OF town preachers that
were here for these two occasions.
Not much in improvements was ac-
complished by the different churches,
but the reason is they were not
needed. The Abilene churches are
comfortably and most of them COM
modiously housed and their achieve
ments during the year have been
along the lines of spiritual and adj
ministrative work.

Fires Were Few.

Abilene was fortunate in its loss
by fire this year. The fire at the
Union Pacific hotel was the largest
recorded. the loss amounting to $5,-
600. But the damaged parts of the
building have all been repaired, new
.uIniture and fixtures installed. max
ing the hotel one Of the best in the
state.
H. d. Focht had his residence
damaged by fire, caused by an explo-
sion of a gasoline stove. The loss
was $500, but was practically COW
cred by insurance.
Besides these, only a few small
fires have been recorded.

Onr successful SCHOOLS.

The same may be said of the Abb
lene public schools. They did not
need any new buildings, therefore,
there have been no new ones erected.
But there has been a steady improve
ment in the methods and efficiency,
and a distinct advance in educational
standards that do credit to Superin-
tendent w. A. Stacey and his eff
cient corps of teachers.

the laxative used contains no opiate
or narcotic drug. A mild, pleasant
