many instances. A particular bud upon

rest OF the plant. The bearing OF necta.
rines by peach tree, the produstion OF Q
red rose upon bush Of yellow variety,
are among well known examples of this
kind of variation. The potato, though
we call it tuber, is really stem OF
branch, much modified, it is true, but il
follows the law Of stem growth, and even
"sports" as stems occasionly do. Numtr
Gus cases are recorded in England OF the
production OF new varieties OF potatoes in
this manner. Several are known to have

pounds Of cotton cake all the year. The

The New York Agricultural Station an-
thorlties infer, until further data shall
modify opinions, that whatever herd
yields to the butter maker less than four
pounds Of butter to the 100 pounds Of
milk is below the average product Of the
state, and whatever herd yields more than
this quantity is above the average for the
state. The station herd during the trial
yielded, upon the average, with different
foods, 44S Of unsalted butter to the 100
pounds Of milk. While with this average
for the period, yet the influence Of food
seems to have varied the product from
364 pounds Of butter to 5.47 pounds Of
butter TO the 100 pounds OF milk.

Beautiful Band BOYS.

Phe Abilene CoInet Band boys went
down 10 Topeka last week to amuse
themselves. They took their inStru-
ments along and put on their uniforms,
and it was unanimously voted that they
presented the finest appearance of any
organization in Topeka, resident or Wis
iting. Accidentally and innOcently
playing before the judges, during the
band contest, they were awarded the
third prize of $500 and offered
S225.OO to play the remaining three days
of the fair; but it was impossible for
Mr.. Seward, the leader, to stay. Abb
lene should be proud of its band. Or
ganiZed not more than three months
ago, it met the veteran bands of the
State at Topeka and won third money.
Next year, EmpOria will be madden
than she is now, and Clay Center won
feel half so good. Then, according to the
REFLECTOR diagnosis, Abilene will
be first, Clay Center second and EmpO-
ria third.

& Complete Establishment.

There are but few towns of equal or
greater size, that have as many large
business houses as Abilene. This state
ment has become and will remain tru-
ism. And among those that stand at
the head of the list, the firm of IriOn 81
Armitage is prominent. We enjoyed
the pleasure of being shown through
this immense establishment, and with
the exception of clothing and groceries,
everything that is needed for the COM
plete furnishing of a home is kept in
stock. Queensware, WillOwware, Tin
ware, Stoves, &C.; lamps, sewing ma
chimes, organs, tables, chairs, etc,
fill the lower floor. The upper floor is
given up to furniture, and all qualities
and styles are represented. Furniture
in sets and single pieces at prices to
suit the purchaser. IriOn 81 Armitage
stand at the head of hOuse-furnishing
firms, and those who contemplate be-
ginning housekeeping as we'll as those
who are old and experienced in the needs
of a comfortable home, should remem-
Der this fact. The firm will take great
pleasure in showing all interested
through their establishment, and the
time so devoted by the sight-seer will
be well expended

Last week the senior paid a hasty
visit to our sister city, Chapman. He
found the town in rapid state of i'm
provement, a large number Of houses
going up, among them $25, 900 stone
Catholic church, and vast amount of
business. The most prominent of the
business men were the NALL Brothers,
who are handling OH an average 1000
bushels of wheat daily at their large
elevator. While i'll Chapman he added
twenty names to the already large kist
of subscribers to the REFLECTOR at
that place, with the promise of as
many more when he calls again. Thus
it can be seen that the REFLECTOR is
booming and our business men cannot
afford to ignore the fact.

The Catholic Banquet.

The banquet given by the Catholic
society last Thursday evening, in Nc
1nerney Hall, was the biggest thing of
the kind Abilene has seen for long
time, and the Hall was royalty dedica-
ted. The supper was patrOniZed and
enjoyed by an immense crowd. The
large delegation from Solomon, headed
by genial Father Leary, helped to make
the affair a SUCCESS. The Solomon boys
came down to take home with them the
necklace which was offered to the most
popular young lady in the hall, but they
didn't. Misses Como, Baker, Terrill,
Hart, RObb and McInerney are Abilene
girls, and almost 500. worth of votes
had been cast before Miss Ella Morgan
was put in nomination by Solomon par
ties. Then the fight was between the
two towns, Abilene, OF rather AIeSSrs.
John and Pat Berry, concentrating on
Miss Annie Hart. On the last round
the money was deposited i'll boxes bear
ing the names of the young lady con-
teStantS, and the result showed that
Solomon had weakened on the home
stretch, while Abilene, accepting the
challenge i'll good faith, came to the
front with S17S.00. The total number
of votes, at five cents a vote, was 1881,
divided as follows: Miss Como, 80;
Miss Baker, 1870; Miss Hattie Terrill,
1883; Miss Annie Hart, 1910; Miss
Florence RObb, 20; Miss MOllie McIn-
erney, 40; Miss Ella Morgan, 572.
After the result was declared the hall
was cleared fOr dancing, and the ''wee
sma' hours grew very small before the
breaking up Of the party. The finan-
cial result was very satisfactory to the
managers, about S5O0.0O being cleared.
