HON. j. T. SELLARDS DIES
AT A TOPEKA HOSPITAL

Hon. John Thomas Sellards. rep
resentative from this county in the
legislature, died this morning at a
Topeka hospital following an opera
tion. He had been in the hospital for
the operation which was not a seri-
GUS one, but the anaesthetic over
came him and he failed to rally. The
burial will be at Solomon and the
funeral services will be at his home
in that city Sunday at 2 p. M, the
Rev. F. S. Blayney of Abilene Off
ciating.
Mr.. Sellards has been for many
years one of the prominent citizens
of Solomon. He was vice-president
of the Citizens State bank, a large
land owner and interested in busi-
ness firms. He was aged about 43
years and leaves a wife and family.
He was serving his first term in the
legislature and in the 1917 session
made fine record, serving on i'm
portant committees and working
earnestly for his state and district.

TRAVELLING MEN WOULD EN-
LIST TO SAVE FARMERS
Nation Could Do without Them for
Year or Two.

The United Commercial Travellers
OF America will offer themselves in
body to the government to take the
place of younger men within the
draft age If a movement under way
among Salina travelling statesmen
gathers the required momentum.
The plan will be broached at the
next meeting of Sunfower council, to
be held Saturday night at Conven-
tion hall
"The nation could get along with
out our services as statesmen for a
year or two," said one travelling
man this morning. "A readjust-
ment Of the economic scheme in a
slight degree would see business pro-
crossing as usual without our assist
ance. Most of us are too old to be
drawn in the draft. However, we
could serve the army in many ca
pacities because OF our unlimited ex-
perience with men and conditions. II
the government will take us just as
many farmer boys can be exempted
from service and there will be no
question about America feeding the
world"

JURY OF SIX DECIDED THAT
@. III. MALONEY WAS INNOCENT
Man Charged With Violating Bone
Dry Law Acquitted.

c. H. Maloney, charged with vio-
lating the "bone dry law, was ac-
Quilted at o'clock last evening by
a Jury of six. The case was tried in
Judge Quinn's court. The state ar
gued that a company would not ship
whisky packed in a barrel and care
fully concealed with apples unless 1t
had been ordered. The state also
said that 1t was not necessary for
Maloney to sign the bill of lading
if he did not order the shipment
The defense proved that Maloney
had nothing to do with the whisky
nor the apples and knew nothing
about the whisky until Sheriff Sher-
man opened the barrel at his bakery
on September 4. 1t was also proved
by the defense that Maloney signed
the freight bill in order to get the
shippers name, which he failed to
do.
The jury was out only fifteen min
utes when it brought in the verdict
of mot guilty" The sheriff has
charge of the barrel Of whisky and 1t
will be fed to the fish in the Smoky
Hill river. Maloney lives at Hope.

MEDICAL BOARDS WILL BE

Altho complete plans for selectint

visory boards will be located have
not been worked out, DR.. George M
Gray of Kansas City, Kan, appointed
by Governor Capper, to handle that
branch of the selective service, has

details have been discussed. Ac-
cording to the present plans, there
win be fifteen medical advisory
boards in the state The duties of
the boards will be to examine regis
trants sent to them by local boards
or the adjutant general. After a
thoro physical examination of the
registrant, the board will make re-
port to the local board or the adult
ant general concerning the condi-
ton of the registered man. The To-
cal board will then proceed to final
determination of the case. Salina

ABILENE STEPS TO FRONT
IN THE MILLING INDUSTRY
Only Ten Cities In Kansas Mill More
Each Day.

Abilene, under the new plans
when the electric mill gets into op-
Grafton, will take a big jump and
stand eleventh among the milling
cities of the state. The mills here
will have capacity of 1900 barrels
per day. Kansas City, Kan, stands
first with $500 and Salina, when its
new mill is completed, will come in
second with 5000 barrels. The En-
terprise mill has turned out 800 bar
rels more each day than the Abilene
mills for a number of years, but
Abilene will now slip ahead and turn
out 300 barrels more each day than
the mill at Enterprise. The milling
industry is a good one and this rec
ord speaks well for Abilene.

County Towns Are
Running Short on Coal

Talmage is in the midst OF a fuel
famine while Chapman and Herring
ton are also feeling the shortage. G.
c. Sterl, fuel administrator for the
county, said today that the Talmage
yards do not have pound of fuel.
No complaint has been received from
the school houses at Talmage, how
ever, and it is believed that they
have a sufficient supply to last for
some time. Practically all the resi-
dents have enough fuel to last for
some time.
The situation in Chapman is
similar. While the yards there are
not entirely empty, the small sup
ply which they have will soon be
taken by the stores and residents.
No complaint has been heard from
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1917-12-13

the residents or schools at Chapman.
For a while Herington was in a
mighty bad pinch. No coal and the
dealers howled Thru the efforts Of
the county fuel administration, one
carload OF coal was sent to Herring
ton. But the coal will not last long
and the yards there now are waiting
for another carload of fuel. G. G.
Sterl, when he learns of shortage,
notifies the chief administrator and
he in turn effects the sending of coal
to the place in question.
No complaint has been made in
Abilene, Enterprise or Solomon.
Abilene has large supply, Solomon
enough to last for some time and En-
terprise is not kicking. The situa-
tion in the other towns will prob
ably be relieved soon.

First Hard Road
District Is Planned

of Herington men presented the mat

practically unanimous for good
roads.
The commissioners will have gen
eral approval of the county in their
action. Dickinson is for good roads
and it will be but matter of short
time when there will be many more
miles of concrete or brick roads,
both because of their usefulness and
because of the lessened expenses of
upkeep which with the decreased
cost of traffic more than pays for the
building of the roads.
