Glasa Poles

A European concern is now building
telegraph and telephone poles of glass.
The glass is nodded over a thick
framework Of woven wire. which adds
to the strength of the pole. These
poles will neither rot nor rust and in
sects will not attack them. Unless
broken by an unusual accident, they
will last forever. and now that timber
is SO expensive in Europe they are lit,
tie more costly than wooden poles.-

C. II. BATH WILL RETAIN
LARGE PART OF MUSIC STORE

C. f. Bath wishes to make the
announcement that owing to the
fact that more work than usual has
come to his organ repair shop he
felt unable to do justice to both
branches of his business and since
Mr.. Broughton was unable to stay
out of the piano business, Mr.. Bath
took advantage of the opportunity
and sold the piano department OF
the store back to Mr.. Broughton.
Mr.. Bath retains the talking ma
chine end and the small musical
goods and sheet music department
and will continue that end of the
business stronger than ever.
Everybody is especially invited to
come in at any time for demon
stration of new records and talking
machines.

DYSPEPSIA OVERCOME
Tone Up the Stomach with Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

When you have dyspepsia your
life is miserable. You have a bad
taste in your mouth, a tenderness
at the pit of your stomach, feeling
Of puffy fulness, headache, heart
burn, and sometimes nausea.
Dyspepsia is difficult digestion
that is what the word means-and
the only way to get rid Of it is to
give vigor and tone to the stomach
and the whole digestive system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, sold by all
druggists, is the one medicine which
acts on the stomach through the
blood and also directly. Its bene-
fetal effects are felt at once. I'M
provement begins Immediately.
Hood IS Sarsaparilla purifes the
blood, makes the rich red blood that
is needed for perfect digestion, and
builds up the whole system. Be sure
to get Hood IS, for no other medicine
can take its place.

ENVIOUSLY SEE
DUCKS WING NORTHWARD

The duck hunters have Fremont
tions daily that spring and the sea-
son for hunting is here. They sadly
watch the ducks fly north, as they
can be seen daily every day, for a
federal law prohibits the sportsmen
from going out and bagging them at
this stage in the game. All are
awaiting with tense expectation the
21st of February, next Monday.
when a court decision on the law is
expected. In compliance with a fed
eral law the open season for ducks
closed Feb. 1, and a repeal of this
act or an extension of the open sea-
son is expected in the decision.
Large flocks have been seen pass
ing northward over Abilene, but it
is with enyious eyes that the hunter
watches them wing past. Many
draws and ravines are filled with
water where the ducks alight. But
alas for the sport. nothing doing.

SUITABLE HOTEL LOCATIONS
Junction City Confident of Mr.. Po.
lands Ability as Manager

AS has been suggested new
building for hotel in Abilene
would offer suitable and ample quar-
tiers for the Abilene Chamber Of
Commerce. Plans as have been pro-
posed would have store buildings on
the ground floor, but there are
many Objectionable features to this
Rooms for the Chamber of kind
that would be credit to the city
and institution, could be equipped
and fitted out on the ground floor.
An expenditure of between $780,,
900 and $4,000 would be required
to obtain a site and erect the build
ing and with an experienced hotel
man as e. C. Poland in charge, such
a proposition would be a paying one
in this city, Locations being con-
sidered are: The corner of Fourth
and Broadway, the half block on
the south side of Fourth between
Broadway and Spruce, the present
site of the old Central hotel build
ing
Here is what Junction City thinks
Of Mr.. Poland as a hotel man, &C
cording to the Union
The people of Abilene are talking
1 new hotel and at meeting
lumber Of the men of that town met
md talked over the proposition.
The committee asked Ellis Poland
If this city to meet with them and
according to the papers the chances
ire that the town will have a new
lotel. Mr.. Poland, of Boone & Po-
and, is one of the best hotel men
n this part of the county and If the
Abilene folks could lease to that
irm they would be assured of
irst class hotel that would be a
cal credit to their city"

NEAR FLOOD SCARE
MUD CREEK ROSE rs FEET IN
SIX HOURS
Immense Volume of Water from the
Melting Snow and Ice Caused
Stream to Rise Quickly and
Unexpected

Six feet more and the waters Of
Mud creek would have been over the
streets Of Abilene last night. The
melting of snow and ice unexpect-
edly brought the creek up about Is
feet in six hours, late last evening.
At 6 O'Clock the water was just over
the first banks, and at II o'clock
when Noah Engle, who lives along
the edge of the stream on West Fifth
street, Glanced to look out Of his
bedroom winder, he saw water all
over the second bottoms, within six
feet of coming out of the stream S
second banks. 1t receded as quickly
as it rose and this morning 1t was
at its normal stage again. The i'm
mense volume of water flowing off
the fields, due to the melting in the
day time, caused the sudden rise.
Mr.. Engle said that hundreds of
dollars worth Of personal property
went down the stream in the quick
rise and this morning when he went
to investigate, his footbridge was
gone and has not been found. Had
it not been that Abilene residents
were slumbering peacefully the
town would have experienced an
other flood scare.

SALIVA AFTER STATE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The state Democratic committee
will be asked to hold its annual
convention in Salina, says the Union.

Democratic County central commit
tee and John H. Wilson, appeared
before the Chamber of Commerce
asking that this be made Sal.na
affair If Salina secures it it will
be one of the biggest and most inn
portant conventions of the year.
If the effort which these men
have started meets with the res
ponse it ought it is believed that
the convention will come there. Sa-
lima has not had a state convention
of this kind since the old Populist
days.
