COAL DEPOSIT NOT PROBABLE
oil and Gas Possible at Great Depth
Says Prof. HawOrth
BY John Gleissner

Lawrence, Oct. 4.-"Possible, bIt
rot probable" was the statement OF
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, geologist
and head of the university depart
ment of mining, when asked about
the reported discovery Of coal in
Dickinson county.
Goal may have been found, but
It Is not at all likely" he said. "Of
course 1 cannot tell with any GER
tainty until 1 see samples, but my
guess is the substance thought to
be coal is jet black shale, which
may analyze ten to twenty-five per
cent carboniferous matter, and the
rest ash. Such discoveries are not
at all uncommon.
81 am pretty familiar with the
geologic construction Of Dickinson
county, and nothing similar to this
find has ever been reported. Gullies
have been washed before, and wells
have been bored. Surveys of CEN
trail Kansas have been made, and
no coal has ever been found. This
would argue against a coal discov-
cry, but as say, it is only my opin-
ion.
"As regards oil and gas in Dick
inson, l am not at all certain. /
think, however, that If it should
ever be discovered it would be at a
considerable depth, so deep, in fact,
that prospecting would necessitate
q considerable outlay of capital,
with no assurance of returns. The
dip of the productive strata is re-
sponsible for this belief"
Prof. Haworth said that as soon
as a sample was received an analy-
sis would be made and reported
within a few days.

SATURDAY WAS A "HARD
LUCK" DAY FOR HEDRICK

Saturday was q "jinx" for Bill.
Hedrick, who drove the Jones Si1
in the automobile races. He lost
second of the s4OO purse, which
was 800, by misunderstanding the
signals and drove off the track
without finishing the races, after
he had forged to second place and
bad a 75-yard lead on the nearest
driver. He came up town and re-
ceived a phone call from Anthony,
Kan, telling him that a sister had
drank poison and killed herself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hedricks left for
Anthony this morning. BILLY" was
formerly chauffeur for Mrs. C. b.
Hoffman of Enterprise but is now
a foreman in the assembling shops
Of the Jones Six at Wichita.

CLOTHING STORES CLOSE AT
1880 SATURDAY EVENINGS

II you have been waiting until
after the moving picture show was
over Saturday evening to buy a
clean collar or a new hat for Sun
day, read the following carefully.
Hoon & Co., Sterl Bros, Harry G.
Lifts Co. and the Toggery will close
at 1880 o'clock on Saturday even
ings beginning with next Saturday.
The late closing hours are useless
as the people could do their shop
ping earlier in the evening and day
and they only prove very tiresome
to the clerks. Thirteen hours, which
Is the usual Saturday length of an
Abilene clerks working day, Is too
long.
Some Of the stores make a prac-
tice of closing at this hour and the
business does not decrease, either.

llnistic or singers camp.
This was accomplished without
sacrificing the dignity or educa-
tional value of the orchestra's work.
The Awakening Of Civic Pride
The admirable spirit which has
brought forth such splendid results
In those four cities should encour-
age enterprising and ambitious mu-
sicians in other parts Of the coun-
try. The musical press Of America
Is at all times ready to help the
cause Of such musical organizations.
Where the interurban lines make
travelling inexpensive and conven-
tent, surprising results can be at
tained in approximately short time.
Public Music Teachers
Musical organization such as the
concert orchestra are the
great public music teachers, the
best cultivators of truer apprecia-
tion Of musical art, for they form
an omnipresent noble influence cap
able of attaining more lasting and
important results than the hap
hazard visits of a musical organiza-
ton or two that may and may not
be brought to these small cities.
They will pave the way for the big
ger things in time to come, insur-
Ing not only an appreciation for
the artistic but financial support as
we'll.
Hats off to Kansas for 1t has
made record, and not only with its
bumper wheat crop" 1t is building
mighty landmarks in the history Of
America.

DICKINSON ENTRIES TAKE
FIRSTS AT STATE FAIR

Two Dickinson county girls, the
Misses Amy and Ada Goodwin, who
live north of Detroit. were awarded
first prizes on entries in the textile
department of the Topeka state fair.
A tatted collar and cuff set won
first prize and a blue ribbon and .
specimen of colored tatting also
brought them q blue ribbon.
The entries in this department
were from all over the state, and
some from out of the state, and
these two girls can feel quite hon
lored in receiving such awards
against such strong and large COM
petition.
Dickinson always was noted for
producing the best Of everything
from housewives and seamsters to
corn and wheat, but she was not go
ing to fall down before such 0
horde as she was against at the state
fair and so she appeared in her
prettiest fancy work and came out
on top, as usual.

department was not so we'll filled

Abilene, and 1t was q big attraction
all week. or course Mr.. Hartman
won many ribbons and had the op-
por.unity to show his excellent herd.

with exhibits. The corn display was
feature. Everything that grows
on the farm was on exhibition, and
the samples shown were as nearly
perfect as 1t is possible to grow
them.
The Dickinson county fair grounds
are near Abilene, and consist Of
about 60 acres. There has been
some talk Of the city taking over
the grounds for a park and thereby
insure the permanency of the fair
and at the same time provide Q big
park for Abilene. 1t is. indeed, a
beautiful place and some time 1t
will be the envy of Abilene's sister
towns. The fair owes its success to
the loyalty of the Abilene business
men who have stood back of 1t in
fine shape. 1t takes a great deal of
money and time to keep a county
feir going, and without such assist
ance as Abilene has willingly given
her fair 1t would be impossible to

was upon that phase of his charac-
ter. For many years no night was
too stormy or road so bad that he
did not attend the regular meeting
Of the lodge, and his example and
conduct in all life's dealings were
reflections of what was taught in
Masonic rituals and practice. He was
a loyal brother and "brotherly love,
relief and truth" were real to him
and he put them to practical use in
every day life. The address was one
of the best ever delivered in abb

HOrnung's Death
Was Accidental

Eugene. Ore, Register: The jury
called by Coroner Gordon to inquire
into the death of John Hornung, the
Goshen farmer who was shot by
John c. Anderson while they were
hunting in the mountains IT miles
south OF Eugene, Friday, found that
no one was to blame for the shoot
ing, and that 1t was purely acciden-
tai.
/ II appears from the testimony OF
johnson that the bullet did not
glance from tree or q log, as at
first reported, but that It went
straight toward Hornung, who was
out OF sight, and passed through his
body. 1t is presumed that 1t went
through his heart, as he was dead
when Johnson reached him. The
distance between the two men was
125 yards, and Hornung was 25
yards beyond the grouse that John
son shot at.
The testimony of the other wit
nesses was to the effect that the
brush was so thick between John
son and Hornung that 1t would have
teen impossible for Johnson to have
seen him. The bullet struck Hornung |
In the back, and ranging upward,
