FORMER RESIDENT GRAD
YATES AT 55 YEARS

The following dispatch from Chi
cago will interest friends in Abilene
as Mr.. Smith formerly lived here,
being engaged in state Sunday
school work, and the daughters visit
here frequently at the j. N. and
J. H. Engle homes.
1.-THE Cutlery dream of one man s
life was realized at Northwestern
university in Evanston when Fayette
A. Smith of Salina, aged 55, re-
ceived his degree as master of arts
from the hands of Abram w. Har-
ris, retiring president of the uni
versity Reta, his eldest daughter,
received the degree of A. B. at the
Kansas Wesleyan university in
1913. In 1915 his second daughter,
Carol, was graduated from the same
school taking the degree of A. B.
Her father was classmate. Mr.
Smiths third and youngest daugh-
ter, Violet, still is attending the
Salina school. She hopes to finish
in 1918"

CHECK BIRTHS AND DEATHS
Mrs. L. A. Nesiwanger, Vital statis-
tics Investigator Here

Mrs. L. A. Neiswanger, a special
agent sent out by the vital statis-
tics department OF the state board
of health to check up the birth and
death records is in the city inves-
tigating the local books and deter
mining whether the Abilene doctors
and parents have been seeing to II
that the births OF all babies were
registered. Kansas one black eye,
state disgrace, is her infant NOR
tality rate and it is this which the
state board is trying to overcome,
for the great percentage OF report
ed infant deaths are not such, but
show up thus in the record because
the births have not been reported
A law passed in 1911 made the
parents as well as the attending
physicians responsible for not re-
porting birth and in this case,
liable to arrest and fine. A little
attention to this would lower Kan
sas' infant mortality.
A legal birth record is absolutely
essential in many instances. Mrs.
Neiswanger recommends that the
parents watch the lists of births
published monthly. Several weeks
ago in Wichita q doctors were ar
rested and fined for failure to re-
port births.
The townships of Grant, Willow
dale, Buckeye, Hayes and Newbern
are included in one division and all
birth or death records in this area
should be reported to j. L. Wor-
ley, city clerk.

BALL GAME ENDED IN FARCE
Belle Springs Defeated Browns At
City Park Last Night

At the end OF the sixth inning in
the game of the Browns vs.. Belle
Springs baseball team the score
stood to 2. The B. s. players were
first TO bat in the seventh and then
things started. Clouting the pill at
every possible chance, and the
Browns making equally as many
more errors, the merry-go-round
started and with only one down and
12 runs annexed in that inning
alone, the Browns gave up the
ghost and were ready to call the
game. Up to that time 1t had been
a fairly good game, but it soon re-
solved itself into a huge joke and
furnished much merriment for the
good crowd that was present. Loyal
rooters stood behind the electricians
but all TO no avail.

Springs the edge on the Browns

Obituary-Benjamin f. Doyle

The passing Of Benjamin F.
Doyle is worthy OF extended notice.
He was born near Bunker Hill, ILL.,,
in 1910, died at his home in abb
lene June 13, 1915, after an ill
ness of several months. Mr.. Doyle
was a retired farmer and by indus
try and good management had Sc
cured competency for himself and
family. He was a life long member
of the Methodist Episcopal church
and went from us in the triumph Of
the Christian hope, mot as a whip
ped cur to his kennel nor as one
who gathers the drapery of his
couch about him and lies down to
pleasant Dreams" but rather as
one who has caught the vision of
the homeland and has the presence
of his divine Lord and asks, Death
where is thy sting, oh grave where
is thy victoryl" A friend of his
boyhood wrote only few days be-
fore his death, saying: Dear friend,
if it must be goodbye on earth it will
be good morning in heaven" He
was veteran of the Civil war serv-
ing in the 41st Illinois infantry.
Funeral services were held at his
home, conducted by Rev. E. r.
Brown and the Masonic lodge, of
which order the deceased was a
loyal member. $50

Its lone survivor. adrift for thirty
and a half hours on raft. brought
the story ashore. Half dead from two

torn by the seas, he was carried on a
rescue ship at Conneaut, o.
He is Captain Walter G. Grashaw OF
this city. master of the Colgate, which
went down at 10 p. m. Friday off Long
Point, Canada, opposite Erie.
Every one of the crew OF twenty,
one persisted. nineteen Of them were
sucked down to death the instant the
boat floundered and two added to the
roll when exhaustion, exposure and
the waves washing over the raft that
carried their captain, carried them
away as their strength gave way. The
ferry steamer Marquette and Bessem'
er No. 2 picked the captain up on
Rondeau, Canada, opposite Cleveland.
The Colgate went down the night OF
what has come to be known as BLACK

were lost when the steamer Filler sank
in Lake Erie on Friday, only Captain
Madison being saved. Earlier that
same night the steamer Marshal +.
Buffers foundered, but its crew OF
| thirteen men were saved.
