Last Saturday was a mean day. mete.
OrolOgically and commercially speaking

mate of this section.
Mrs. Judge CulbertsOn gave another
very pleasant and highly enjoyable party
last Friday evening. The aSSemblage
Of guests was large and brilliant. We
understand that Mrs. Culbertson in
tends giving a party to her younger
friends before the winter is very old.
Mr.. John Cooper was Is years in this
state last Thursday, and II years in
Dickinson county. During that time
he has grown in financial stature until
he is pretty comfortably fixed. He is
known throughout the county as a
| straightforward. honest man of bust
ness. and is citizen that the county
which made him may be proud of.
Hon. D. II. Henkle, democratic elect

landed interest. Mr.. Henkle SAYS that
the election in his state passed off fairly
and quietly. No one was intimidated.
The whites have a majority of so 900
votes over the negro, and if it hadn't
been for the Malone fusion the demo-
ocratic majority would have been &C. 900.
\ sadly afflicted family in Sherman
township will hardly feel like returning
thanks to-day to anybody or for any
thing. On Sunday, the 10Th inst. w.
II. Miller died of typhoid fever; on the
25th a son and daughter died of the
same disease; another son is very low,
and his daughter and son-inlaw are
down with the disease. Verify, dire
affection has fallen upon that house
hold. We trust that the end is reached.
Col. Swigart was in town Monday.
The Col. is one Of the stanch demo-
Gratis of NeWbern township and is a
strong Thurman man. He was for
Thurman for President, and failing to
have his wishes realized in that respect.
he now wants to see the ''Old Roman
in Cleveland's cabinet as Secretary of
the Treasury. And the appointment
would be good one.
Marion Chance, a boy Is years old,
red hair and sandy complexion, left his
home at Sutphen'S Mills, Dickinson Co.,
Kan, Nov. 10th. An anxious mother
desires to hear from him. Anyone
knowing his whereabouts would confer
a favor upon his parents by addressing
Henry L. Chance at the above place
Left home in company of Charles Wat
son, % years of age, short, heavy, brown
hair, scanty mustache a shade lighter.

1t will be well worth your while to see
Maude Atkinson tonight in the Lady
of Lyons The company is one
of the best that will visit Abilene this
winter, and our amusement-loying peO-
pie should not overlook this fact. Miss
Atkinson has won very favorable pO-
sitiOn by her beauty, talent and ability.
Go to the Opera House and then to the
the Military ball. There is no doubt
that the evening viii be sufficiently eX-
tended to give one plenty Of time at both
places.
Sheriff Miller, working a lead"
went to Lane, Franklin county, last
week and arrested Frank DOMAIN on the
charge of being the murderer of FOgle,
the apple man who was killed in south
Dickinson about ID months ago. Do
man worked on Holland creek about
the time of the murder and has a num-
Der of acquaintance in the county. He
was lodged in the Abilene jail last Sat-
urday. 1t is said that the circumstan-

The old soldiers, of true steel, who
stood up and shot at each other, stop
ped fighting when the war was over.
The sword has been beaten into plough !
share by the hand that bore it on the |
field of battle. The old veterans of |
each side meet on each recurring Dec |
Grafton day and mingle their tears and !
flowers over the graves of the blue and |
the gray. Shame upon those who are |
forever trying to reopen the old wounds! |
This long deferred patriotism is vieweI |
with contempt by the soldier of the
North, and is spit upon by him who |
bore muSket for the South.
Hon. J. r. Burton was the regular
nominee of the republican party for the |
Legislature from the 18th district and |
was reelected by a majority very much |
larger than was first given him. Such
being the case, it would seem that the |
of his district, and eS-
pecially the republican papers of this |
city, should willingly give him their

Abilene boy of brilliant parts, his abil- |
ity to fill the position is unquestioned |
and the REFLECTOR does not under |
stand why his party papers of this city !
do not give him warm and unqualified |
In this case their local pride |
should be stronger than their personal |
prejudice and jealousy.
Hon. John \. Anderson and George |
W. Martin were in the city last Thurs |
day. They may have come up to enjoy |
a Whit of metropolitan air and to take |
delight in live town, and then again |
they may have been on a political
scheme, the said scheme being in the |
interest of Postmaster Hodge, or words |
to that effect. You see, everything has !
a suspicious look, nowadays, and it is |
the thing to attribute sinister motive !
to every corner gathering of men, how
ever small. The smaller the crowd the |
more sinister the motive. But amid !
