feet ~ inches.
Little George Gray. who weighed only
$50 pounds at the time OF the Internal

would come pretty close to putting the
missile so feet.
Harry worthington won the broad
jump at the meet n week ago with the
splendid leap OF ?3 feet 2ts inches. That
was much the superior to Bloss's inter-
national winning jump OF % feet 6
inches. Worthington Is one OF the great
est jumpers the sport ever has seen.

A week ago Wesley Oler won the ma
,ional high jump championship Of the
United states with a leap OF 6 feet .
inches. At the internationals In 1895
the great Mike Sweeney cleared the
cross stick at s feet 5% inches. There
are few experts who think that Beeson
AMI HORNE. the two Californians who
eclipsed Sweeney's old record. ever had
anything on old Mike.
There was nothing questionable about
S%weeney's style. His was a clean.
straight Jump, with no semblaree OF the
California dive employed by HORNE and
Beeson. The California dive may be
within the rules. but In the minds or
most Of the experts II savors more Of
! a%crobatics than IL does OF high jumping.
With the simple leg spring and roll
over Mike Sweeney cleared 8 feet 5r
inches. II Is hard telling how high Mike
had jumped had he employed the Cali
fornia dive. Oilers recent performance
at the Newark championships does not
! compare with Sweeney's 8 feet So inch
leap in the internationals. but to the
credit Of Oler II can be sale that his
s;y,s IL jus; as clean n vroucc::oUab!c
AS was Sweeney's.
And Wesley has shown himself capa-
bic OF clearing a greater height than
which he won in a week ago. Oler is a
great jumper. but he annot be classed
with Mike Sweeney. For that matter.

FINISHING TOUCHES ON PLAY
Full House VIII See Bargain Day
at Bloomstein's"

The producer, R. A. Preston, don
ned overalls today and played in the
role of property man and all around
help and all is set for the "open-
err" tonight of the company S
run" in the city of Abilene. The
finishing touches were placed on all
and the last rehearsal this afternoon
went off in grand style, just as ev-
cry last rehearsal should. The house
is well sold out and capacity is
promised for the first performance,
the Wednesday night tick
cts have been selling the fastest. An
other added feature will be an ex-
hibition dance by Miss Helen Curry.
If all goes well and the work of
the caste merits it. the company may
be taken to Junction City for per-
Torrance there. A local party is
working on the deal and tits in every
way a good probability. Such a
thing would come as a fitting climax
and diversion for the persons who
have practiced so faithfully.

$500 worth of goods including
go pairs of trousers, 40 pairs OF
shoes, A suitcases, automobile gloves
and numerous other articles were
taken. Entrance was gained by
breaking a window in the rear end
of the store. Four or five men must
have been concerned in the robbery
as a smaller number could not
have carried off the vast amount OF
merchandise that was taken. The
work was all done in an hour as
the marshall passed the store at 2
and 3 a. m, and it was done in a
hurry as shoes we're found scatter
ed along in the alley for a block.
About $40 worth of the stolen arti-
cles were found in a straw stack a
half mile south of town on the
Creech farm. Sheriff Hassler is
working on the case but more than
that do clues have been discovered.
It is evidently some more work of
the organized gang that works the
small town stores. as the methods
employed are similar.

H. M. Cowan, secretary of the

Nusz attended the merchants short
course at Lawrence last week, said
that all who were there pronounced
the week the best yet, considering
the practicability and usefulness of
the instruction and lectures given.
Five hundred business men attend
ed and heard lectures on salesman
ship, retail store arrangements, adj
vertising, cooperation with the pat
ron, and mail order competition
that were of vital importance and
went straight to the core. The Abb
lene merchants who we're there said
the only fault they had to find was
that there were not enough of the
merchants from this city in attend
ance. Salina had twenty, the second
largest delegation outside of Law
renee, while this town had only
three.

BOOST INTERURBAN
PROSPECTUS SHOWS ROAD GOES
THROUGH ABILENE
Line Would Connect Proposed ROAD
from Hutchinson to Salina
With Manhattan-Use
X. /. Grade

That an interurban for Abilene
seems assured is the content OF
dispatch from Junction City. The
proposed limo would link the interur-
han from Manhattan to Junction
City. to line which in all probablli-
ties, will be built from Hutchinson
to Salina.
Such a proposition between Sa~
lima and this town would be an in
expensive proposition. The Rock
Island has an unusued grade, the
use of which could no doubt be Sc
cured at comparatively low mar
gin as it is dead stock to the com
pany now. Although operation OF the
railroad with two other competing
roads has proved impracticable and
improbable, for an interurban with
hour service, electric power and mile
stops the project would be a paying
one.
The Junction City dispatch
The power company which IS no"
operating the interurban lines
through the southwestern part OF
the state and which also controls
most of the lighting plants in this
state, has issued their new time
cards for their lines and many trav-
cling men are carrying them. The
cards show the lines now in opera
ton and also show the proposed lines
that will soon be built. One of the
main proposed lines extends from
Hutchinson to Salina, from Salina
to Abilene, and then on to Junction
City, connecting with the Manhattan
line. For some time the talk has
been that line would be built from
this city west, and no doubt this
company issuing the cards has in
formation that the line will soon be
an assured fact.
