SLEEPS IN STOCK CAR,
THEN SETS 1T AFIRE

A fire scare was rampant at the
east end of the Union Pacific yards
this morning. A stock car in which
some cattle were shipped in was left
open in the yards and evidently d
wanderer without the price OF a
hotel bed climbed in and slept. EVl-
IDENTIFY the same person took an
early morning smoke before leav-
ing. for the straw in the car was
set afire and smoke soon was roll
ing out of the car in great clouds.
s. H. Paul, station agent, was told
of the affair and with a hastily or
ganized bucket brigade stopped the
blaze. No damage was done. For a
time Mr.. Paul feared that the car
was the one in which four Holstein
COWS, purchased at the A. B. WILCOX
sale Thursday and awaiting ship
ment to Annapolis had been placed
but the car in which were the Hol-
stems was unframed.

GREAT TOPIC ABLY HANDLED
IT, Is Time to Become Panama Wise
BY Learning All You Can
About Panama

The first thought which comes to
the mind of the average person
when the question of Panama comes
up is: cts the place Panama hats
come from and the country through
which a great canal has been con-
structed."
J Both are true; but one should
blush to admit that this is the ex-
tent of his Panama knowledge. The
eyes of the entire world are on
Panama. Engineering genius has
planted there the greatest wonder
of all time. Thousands are visiting
Panama to personally look upon the
colossal engineering achievement
which has made it famous. The mil
lions not so favored should take
every opportunity to learn about
Panama, its people and the history
of the canal which links the Allan
tic and Pacific.
The Reflector comes to your
rescue. It is distributing for lin
tied time, the only complete Illus
trated story of everything worth
knowing about the great canal ano
the beautiful country through which
it has been cut at fabulous cost. Il
would be foolhardy for anyone tc
acquire an inferior makeshift, wher
this wonderful and complete booA
can be had on terms representing
less than the usual cost of printing
and binding.

the work of the center Of the line
over that of the Minneapolis game
This time the guards and center
didn't stand up. but although they
met the attacks Of the Junction

contests with anything like a halo.
So far the team has made a fair
showing as regards backfield work
but the line play has been mediocre.
Dresser, with a change or two in
the line and the addition of Engle,
who though he is still somewhat new
at the game has the right spirit, ex-
poets to whip his line into better
shape. While the outcome of the
game with Hope gives Dresser no
worry, the Abilene eleven will find
that Hope will give them a good
game. Walters is crippled and
probably will be unable to play Sat
