Abilene, Kansas. Society item from the Enterprise Push--The Howard Courant tells this story about the bright auto lights: The other night an auto with a bright electric light turned into a side street rarely traveled by autos. When the piercing rays flashed over a certain dooryard it discovered a young man and his girl stretched at full length in a hammock. There was suddenly a mad scramble and the girl was the first to spring out and make a dash around the corner of the house. The young man got tangled in the hammock and fell out on the ground, and in trying to get up on his feet raised up with the hammock over his head making it look like a hump on a big camel.

That hammock has been moved to the back of the house. Itching, bleeding, protruding or blind piles have yielded to Doan's Ointment. 50c at all stores. Big Comedy at the Seelye. Those who enjoy motion picture comedies will find a program much to their liking at the Seelye theatre tonight.

IT'S A SURE HUMBUG. One of the Features of Next Week's Fair May Be Missing. The Humbug Cireus conducted by the Bingling and advertised to show at the fair grounds next Wednesday may not put in an appearance here. The show was at Junction City a day or two ago and one of the managers notified Dr. Conklin, president of the Fair Association, that the show could not come here owing to a conflict of dates, the show having been advertised for another town on the same date.

Dr. Conklin told the manager that there would be trouble ble if he did not fulfill his contract here and the man promised to see what could be done. This show is a burlesque on the regular circus and in putting it on the company uses local talent very largely. To see the show might be amusing but the loss is not great.

When the officer took charge of him he could not talk but this morning he had shown little improvement in the matter of speech although he seemed to be improved in other respects. A question was raised as to just how drunk the man really was and as he had no money a fine in police court would have simply been a bill of exOpense to the city and would not have taught the Mexican to talk or to keep sober.

Salina is enjoying a huge railway war between the Union Pacific and the Salina Northern companies. According to the Union a temporary restraining order enjoining the Salina Northern Railway company from entering upon right of way of the Union Pacific was granted this afternoon by District Judge Dallas Grover. The restraining order was put into effect following a decision rendered by the Public Commission which granted permission Ito the Salina Northern Railway company to put in a grade crossing over the Union Pacific tracks west of the Dry Creek bridge. The hearing upon the permanency of the temporary order was set for Monday before Judge Grover. The proceedings in district court yesterday ended another chapter in the controversy started several weeks ago in regard to the crossing in question.

Members of the State Public Utilities Commission arrived in Salina this morning at 10 o'clock and visited the site of the proposed grade crossing west of Dry Creek. At 11:30 o'clock the commission rendered a decision granting the Salina Northern permission to put in the crossing. Losing no time a gang of men was put to work by the Salina Northern at the noon hour. The Union Pacific rails were torn up and Salina Northern ties placed in position to carry the cross rails. Immediately Union Pacific officials gave the order which ditched a huge locomotive and prevented Salina Northern workmen from further work.

The derailing of the engine at the crossing site tied up two west bound Union Pacific freights this afternoon. However, R. L. Davis, division superintendent of the Union Pacific stated this afternoon following the granting of the temporary restraining order against the Salina Northern, that the track would be cleared in time to permit the passenger train No. 103 due at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon.

It pleased the farmers greatly. Many of them have been waiting for two or three weeks for just such a rain. The fall plowing is pretty well along but the condition of the ground has been such as to make harrowing or seeding almost impossible. Last night's rain put the ground in fine condition and was of great value. The rain in Abilene yesterday afternoon and last night amounted to two and four-tenths inches.

Autos Down The Line. A half dozen or more automobiles belonging to Abilene parties are distributed along the roads between this city and Topeka. The heavy rains and roads which the parties encountered either on their way to or returning from the Topeka fair made it necessary to abandon the autos and take to the trains. None of the parties had any special trouble but they were unable to navigate the sea of mud. Subscribe for the Chronicle.
