This institution Is the head CT the edu-
cational system of the State and has been
steadily competing for place, until IL ranks
with the first educational institutions In the
country.
With appropriations made by the last
Legislature and other facilities, material
improvements have been made. The more

Ear lnfirmary, system or sewerage per-
fected, the capacity of the Chemical Labora-
tory enlarged nearly double, the Museum
completed and the new fire-proof Library
building far on the road TO completion

lished and gives evidence or becoming
popular addition TO the Department or
Literature. Progress has also been made by
elevating the standard OF literary prepara-
ton for admission to all the departments,
including the professional schools, and by
lengthening the course or some OF the
latter.
At the close of the year ending Sept 30,
1882, there were students in attendance in
the different departments as follows: De-
partment of Literature, Science and Arts,

lege of Dental Surgery, 10; School OF Phar
macy, 100; Department of Law, $50; making
,54 in all OF this number lS4 are women
A good proportion of the women who have
graduated here are now successfully en-
gagged in professional and literary work,
which proves the wisdom OF the advanced
step taken by the institution in admitting
them as students

the coming two wears amounting to $1,000

Marriages.

The modest, genial, popular Judge of
the Probate Court is the young peoples
favOrite. When shot through the heart
by Cupid's arrows, they turn to the
Judge for comfort and sympathy just
as naturally as little child goes to its
mother. ''There is an affinity" etc.,
between them, cord of sympathy, as
it were, running from the groom's pOck-
ct into the pockets of the judicial pam
falcons. The cord is warranted strong
enough to hold $500, but in the case of
the millionaire groom of Saturday it was
trusted with S1.O0 only. On Thursday
evening, Sept. 9th, by Judge James
CulbertSon, John F. Ellison and Miss
Josephine Goyer, both of Abilene, were
married. And on Saturday afternoon,
Sept. %, Chas. w. Wadsworth and Liz
zie 10y, both of Solomon, were married
by the Judge.

Amusements.

The Comley Comedy Company, in
princess Chuck" was greeted by
large audiences at Bonebrake'S Opera
House, last Thursday and Friday even
ings. 1t is needless to say that the
company was a disappointment to our
people. The play, in the first place, is
weak and without strength. 1t is too
Slangy. too sensational, too bloody to
commend itself to an intelligent audi
ence. Miss Lizzie Harold, as the
princess, - displays only an ordinary
amount of talent, but her acting is ar
tiStic when brought into comparison
with that of her support. The COM
pany certainly did not, when here, show
any evidence of deserving the rapturOuS
notices accorded it by the st. Joseph,
Topeka and EmpOria press.
Thursday and Friday evening, Oct.
4th and 5th, at BOnebrakes Opera House,
blind Boone will appear before our
people. His musical genius is highly
spoken Of, and if the half of what is
promised is performed, our muSic-lOving
people may expect a rare treat. The
Fort Wayne, Ind, Ne,CS, says of him:
Library hall was visited last night bya
large and cultured class of people tohear
the wonderful, musical production of
Blind Boone, a negro boy nineteen years
of age. Much was promised by BoOne's
managers, and hence a great deal was
expected, but the boy did better than
was anticipated. He surprised every
body in the hall. The local musicians
were present and listened attentively
throughout as did every body else. He
is certainly a genius. Whenever he
comes to Fl Wayne he will always have
a crowded house."

The REFLECTOR is pleased to state
that Capt. j. j. Reagan will soon move
to Abilene so as to give his children
the advantages offered by our public
school. Mr.. Reagan is a good citizen
and will prove an acquisition to our
city.
The convenience of the telegraph de-
partment is made apparent in the fact
that a telegram, sent from Kansas City to
Abilene at a. M, was not delivered
until 5:30p. m. of the same day, too
late to be of any benefit to the party adj
dressed.
Our fire department, G. w. Rohrer,
