The Refector's Circulation.

Business is now opening for the fall
trade, and merchants are considering
how they can best renew their &C
quaintance with their old customers
and introduce themselves to new ones.
And in this connection it would be
we'll to speak of the REFLECTOR's rap
idly growing circulation. In the first
place, the REFLECTOR has come here to
stay, and it is the intention to publish
a paper which will meet with the en-
couragement and support of the whole
people of the county. That the paper
has been received with favor is evil
denced by its already large list of sub
scribers. Just month old to-day, it
has bona tide list Of Seven Hundred
subscribers. Our books are here to
prove this statement. This list is
growing every day, and merchants
should take due cognizance of the fact.
They cannot afford to discriminate
against the REFLECTOR because it is a
democratic paper. Politics are one
thing, business is another.

Church Improvements.

1t is in contemplation by the Meth
Odist society of this city to greatly en-
large and beautify their house of wor-
ship. The plan is to tear down and
remodel the spire, and to add north
and south wings, giving the building the
crucifOrm shape. The wings are to be
divided from the main auditorium by
large sliding doors, so made as to run
up into the ceiling when it becomes
necessary to throw the whole of the
building into one room. The added
rooms will be used for class room and
church parlOr purposes, and will give
our Methodist friends a large, hand
some and conveniently arranged build
ing.
Our Lutheran friends also feel the
need of more church room, and this
fall they will add to their building pri-
mary and parlor rooms and make room
for the Quire.
These improvements; with the finish
ing of the new Baptist church and the
recent completion of the Presbyterian
house of worship, will give Abilene en-
viable church accommodations and
privileges.

Found Dead.

Thursday evening of last week the
body of dead man was discovered by
a Mr.. Reuben, of Jefferson township,
near ravine some thirteen miles from
Abilene. The body was in an advanced
stage of decomposition, the doctor
called in at the COrOner's inquest teSti-
flying that the man had been dead some
three weeks. The body was not
identified and was that of a man
apparently about forty-ive years of
age. The deceased was poorly dressed,
and had a bullet hole in his head and
two in his breast. Coroner Perkins
held an inquest on the body Friday
morning, and the verdict of the jury
was that the death of the deceased was
caused by pistol shots fired by some I'M
known person. The mans position
when found, and the surroundings, sug-
gest an unmistakable murder, the mys-
terry of which will probably never be
solved. The body was buried where it
was found.
On Monday, a number of our citizens
thinking that the dead man might
prove to be missing Mr.. Anderson,
the body was eXhumed and again eX-
amined, but with no satisfactory re-
suits. Coroner Perkins has the clothes
Of the murdered man, and any one in
tereSted in the matter can examine
them. Later, letter was received
from Mr.. Anderson saying that he was
all right. The dead man was re-buried,
and the mystery surrounding the case
is as impenetrable as before.

Abilene Public Schools.

Last Tuesday, through the courtesy
of County Superintendent HOrraday,
the REFLECTOR editor enjoyed the
privilege of visiting the various depart
ments of the public school of this city.
And while we are acquainted with a
number Of the best graded schools in
Illinois, we do not hesitate to say that
Abilene has the handSOmeSt and most
conveniently arranged school building
we ever saw in city of this size, and
the most thoroughly disciplined and Or
derby school system.
What is true of Abilene is true of
the other school districts of the county.
The school system is admirably az
ranged and intelligently conducted.
Dickinson county has not made the
mistake common in too many places, Of
securing teachers at the lowest rates
regardless of ability. Scholarship and
teaching talent are rightly valued, and
good wages have secured good teachers,
and good teachers make good schools.
The school building of Abilene is
built in a very pleasing style of archi-
lecture, and is surrounded by an eX-
tensive and beautiful park. The build
ing contains twelve large rooms and
wide, airy halls, and the pupils cOndi-
ton is almost the ultima thule of COM
fort, health and happiness. 1t should
be privilege to attend school and teach
in such building.
PfOf. Jewett, the principal, is the
head and heart Of the present adj
mirable school system of District No.
5. He is a man of ability and thor
Ough disciplinarian, and everything
moves along with the precision and de-
cisiOn of well-Oiled, perfect machinery
He is supported by an able corps OF
| teachers, each one of whom, by hel
evident ability and work, says with ole
| Roger AScham: II will, God willing
go forward orderly, as l purpOsed, tC
instruct children, young men and young
ladies both for learning and manners. .
The following is list of the teachers
from the highest to the lowest: Misses
Austin, Wilder, Reddick, HutchinS
Thornton, Griswold, Pugh, McNaul
| ReamS, Mahan and Evans.
Under the above management the Ell
suing school year must, of necessity
be success. Abilene is to be particu-
larly congratulated ON this fact, and
the REFLECTOR would like to i'm
press upon the minds of parents the
necessity of cooperating with the teach
ers in their work, and by frequent Wis,
| its to the school room show the children
that they are not sent to school to be
gotten rid of. Such visits will be Ell
cOuraging to the teacher and pupil
alike and beneficial to the visitors.
We cannot close this article without
! congratulating the county on the pos
session of Mr.. Hornaday as Superin-
tendent of Schools. To his tireless
earnest, intelligent work we are indebt
ed for our admirable and efficient cOun
ty schools, and he is manifestly, to use
trite saying, the Fright man in the
right place."

More Houses.

1t is perfectly safe for any one to say,
that if there were fifty empty houses in
town they would all be taken within
six days. Men are looking for houses
every day, and in many cases they are
compelled to leave town because there
isn't single one to be had. Many
other families are living in inferior
places while waiting for good houses.
In view of these facts, the interests of
the city demand that large number
of good hOuseS-nOt shells-be built
this fall. There is money in rentable
houses in Abilene, and our capitalists
should invest some Of their money in
this direction.
