You say that If you had not missed your

hotel, you would never have had that
position offered you; as it is your whole

This is not true. If you had not met

mented the Abilene people highly
for their support, particularly the
business men, who will make good
deficit of about $3.50 with no
complaining.
Mr.. Shirley gave figures to show
that larger amount of money was
left in Abilene than was taken
away, and that the chautauqua COM
pany was a loser as well as the
guarantors.
Fifty-one guarantcrs signed the
list. Three moved away and the
management assumed
their share. One other guarantor'
refused to pay. The others paid 81
each and felt that it was worth 1t
to have a chautauqua in the town.

the city to give him a lease on the

the consumers except those who are
getting it for less than 6 ooents per
killowat, at ten per cent less thaN
they are getting it now. Mr.. Brown
also agreed to make any needed OK
tensions.
The principal objection 10 this
was that the plant Htre
in which the city has 100000 in
vested, would stand idle.
Nothing definite was cone and
