in rural expansion has called for ex-
pansion of the company's lines more
than 200 miles in the past year and
The demand for electrical energy has
added more than 100 contracts for
individual farms. The company has
made an especial effort at the fair to
show by its exhibit the many electri-
,al appliances that can be used for
homes. Probably the most
we're two of the latest type
automatic water system equipments
or rural use, one a deep we'll sysem

With power. light and water equip

more advantages than the city dwell

Insanity the Cause.

Ward had been working In Brown
county all summer and returned here
several weeks ago. Many noticed that
at times he acted queerly and times
spoke rather foolishly. Early this
morning when Mrs. Kaufman called
him to breakfast, he did not answer
so she went to the barn and found
him coming down from the loft. He
made some excuses that she could not
understand and then hastened to the
house. All morning Mrs. Kaufman
watched Ward plow in the fields and
saw nothing wrong. One time when
he came to the house, he played with
the children while. At noon he
put the horses in their stalls as US
nal and then went to the hay NOW.
The suicide took place a tabout 1890
0 clock.
Many Friends Here.
Ward Oakman lived in Abilene all
his life and attended school here He
graduated from high school in 1915
and then worked on the merchants
lelivery system for some time.

REAL THRILL WHEN MOTOR

Super-Six Cut OFF Light Pole and
Then Caught Fire.

The attendants ON the motor races
yesterday, certainly had their money s
worth, If they wanted a real thrill. A
Hudson super six, driven by Glenn
Breed of Salina, and Ford special,
driven by w. Roller of Lincoln, came
together while on the last lap OF the
race. Roller had the lead around
the track for nine times On the last
round, Breed endeavored to pass him
when the cars came together at the
south turn. Both cars were thrown
to the right, thru the fence. The
Hudson struck 9-inch electric light
pole and broke 1t off at the bottom.
The mems injuries were limited tol
bruises.
Had it not been that members ofl
Company H kept guard around the
track where the crowd usually standsI
and kept onlookers 80 feet back from
the fence, a number might have been
killed. Breed stayed in his car the
first somersault it made, but was
thrown clear as his car turned over
4 second time Roller was thrownl
from his car across the street and
nto tub of water at a pop stand.
The gasoline tank on the Hudson
,aught fire when the two cars clash
