Military Matters.

Company X, 9rd Reg't, X. n. e., or
ganized last Friday night by electing
Judge James Culbertson, Captain Mr..
Ed. Humphrey. First Lieutenant Mr..
W. f. Gleissner. Second Lieutenant,
and Sheriff J. j. Miller, Orderly Ser
geant. Four Sergeants and eight Cor
porals were appointed. The officers
have been drilling the boys this week,
and remarkable progress is being made.
Judging from the intelligence and ply
sique of the company. which is far
above the average, Abilene will soon
have the best drilled military company
in the state. The arms are the brOnZed,
breech-loading Springfield rifle, 45-cal-
ibre, and are already here. Adjutant
General Moonlight will arrive in the CT
ty Friday afternoon, and will muster in
the company at McCurdy Hall i'll the
evening. The Importance of each men,
Der being present OH that occasion is
specially urged. y business meeting of
the company will be held in McCurdy
Hall on Thursday evening, at which
time detachment will be detailed to
meet the Adjutant-G General upon his ar
rival at the depot.

Industry.

Friday night between twelve and one
o'clock l witnessed one of the SevereSt
storms of the season. 1t was accom-
panied by thunder, lightning and heavy
rain, which caused Chapman creek to
rise so as to prevent crossing the bridge
at Industry. The approaches from the
south side are completed, and the north
side may possibly be finished by the
last of next week. The delay is caused
by not having the lumber on hand
When finished it will be great con-
venience to the public. 1t will also
bring large trade to Industry, as the
greater bulk of the grain i'll this locali-
ty will 60 to Wakefield. The farmers
obtain better prices there than at Abb
lene and it is only ten miles distant from
Industry.
There are reports in circulation that
more coal has been discovered in the
black hills. \ vein of nine inches has
been found 45 feet below the surface of
the earth, north and west of the place
mentioned month or so ago. l re
new my statement, that there is coal
in paying quantities at the base of
these hills. This statement is no longer
a delusion but candid fact. Grit and
enterprise are all the necessary require
ments to develop the resources of these
coal mines.
The democracy of this place ale de-
lighted over tho recent result of the ma
tionaf democratic convention held at
Chicago. The ticket is sound, also the
platform. Everything in connection
with the party principles is square and
straight, and with Cleveland and Hen
bricks as the standard bearers of the
national ticket. and Governor Click for
the state of Kansas. every democrat
and honest independent voter viii rally
to their standards for liberty, honesty

ment. RIP NAN"INkLE'

Claw Center Excursionists.

The picnic party from Clay Center
arrived at Abilene yesterday morning
about eleven O'Clock. The eight coaches
contained about 600 people, all being
well dressed, clean and good looking.
For rural village, Clay Center shows
up remarkably well ; but we are yet
compelled to award the palm to Abb
lene'S metropolitan beauties. The eX-
cursiOniStS were met at the depot by
the Christian sunday school of this city,
and the Abilene band. After short
stop at the depot, during which the
Dispatch band, ranking as the best in
the state, delightfully."- executed several
pieces of excellent music, the train pull
ed out for the Fair Grounds, where the
visitors ate dinner. In the afternoon
the people of Clay Center and Abilene
fraterniZed, and the Dispatch band gave
a most enjoyable concert of about an
hours duration. Upon leaving for
home the visitors expressed themselves
as being well pleased with Abilene,
their reception and the day generally.
Certainly, Abilene highly appreciates
the honor of the visit, and hopes that
the friendly feelings which have been
engenderedmay continue and grow even
stronger.

DR.. e. II. Crise, who for nearly six
years practiced his profession in abb

will at the solicitation of many of his
numerous friends and old patients, visit
Abilene once month to offer his pro-
feSsiOnal services to the citizens Of
Dickinson county. Due notice will be
given through all papers one week in
advance of his coming. If any of his
work has not given entire satisfaction.
he will make such good. If the Doc

he will visit the city by addressing

many thanks to all of his old patrons,

Chapman Chips.

The republicans had their handbills
out for a grand Blaine and Logan rally,
on Saturday e;ening last. There were
to be grand speakers from abroad, and
great speake;a from Abilene. The
speakers came Loaded by our worthy
banker. j. E. Martin, but the crowd
didn't come. About 80 poor, forlorn-
looking republicans; but they soon scat
tered out to see a fight, and when Mr..
Stambaugh, of Abilene, was introduce
ed, he had an audience of some fifty or
sixty, composed of ladies, boys and a
few men. Stambaugh made fair talk
about tariff matters, but his stories
were too old. Then Biting was intro
duccd. He had his Sunday School piece
pretty well learned at the first part, but
he soon forgot it and closed, to the
great relief of the old republicans and
democrats who sat in front.
Such work as this will never convert

baugh was so anxious to talk about

Abilene is fortunate in having i'll her
surroundings two or three vegetable
gardens and one floral garden, that will
compare favOrably with any gardens of
like nature in the state: and Mr.. Chas.
Young is the proprietor of the best one
of all of them. 1t will amply cOmpen-
safe any of our citizens to take an after

The city of Abilene against Amos
Johnson was a case tried before Squire
Quinn last Monday. The defendant
was charged with selling liquor contra
nv to law. but the case was dismissed
on the grounds that the Assistant City
Marshal, Jerry FOrney, who made the
arrest. was not legally commissioned
officer. Mayor McDivitt, in his zeal to
serve the prohibitiOnists, came to the
conclusion that he had the power to
make an officer out of Mr.. FOrney with
out the consent or confirmation of the
council. Squire Quinn decided other
wise. We very much question the
wisdom or the right of the Mayor to
create an officer for an especial but not
needed purpose. 1t is putting an use
less expense on the taxpayers. The
CITY Marshal is not so busy that he
cannot serve warrants, and it is GER
tainly unreasonable to have two officers
to do the work of one. If the City
Marshal objects to turning himself into
a spy. andwe wouldnOt blame him If he
did, why do not our prohibition agita-
tors swear out the warrants and place
them in his hands? He could not OBJ
iect to serve them. Such a course
would be much better. much hopeSteF,
than to add to- the burdens of the tax
payers the useless expense of special
officer. whose services are not needed.

Destroying Flames.

The fire alarm sounded last WedneS-
day morning about three O'Clock, and
it was not long before fire was located
OH the south side in that row of wooden
buildings which is known as Texas
street, the original town during the
days of the Texas cattle trade. The
fire originated between Durkee's store
and VIM. IIickman'S building, which
was used as saloon and billiard hall.
1t is supposed that the buildings were
set OH fire. The fire department re-
sponded promptly to tile alarm, and the
fire was soon under control. The flames
ran up the sides of the two buildings
and got under the roofs. Mr.. Durkee's
stock was not touched by the flames,
but was injured by the water to the
probable extent Of $500; no insurance.
The building belonged to Johntz Bros.
and was damaged to the extent of $50
or 5000: no insurance. The Hickman
building was damaged to the extent of
some 5000; uninsured. The saloon and
billiard hall escaped damage. Mr.. Cor
don's jewelry store, which joined Mr..
Durkee's, escaped without a scOrch.

The attempt on the part of the de-
Tense, in the case of the city against
Amos johnson, to impeach the teSti-
mony of Simon Rothschild, was in bad
taste and Enthusiastically wrong. 1t will
be so considered by all right thinking
people. Mr.. Rothschild's standing i'll
commercial circles is probably as good
as that of any merchant i'll the city. lie
can buy as large bill of goods, and up
on as favorable terms, as any other
merchant in the city. The reprehensi-
bic attempt to impeach his word will
not in the least injure Mr.. Rothschild.
There can be no doubt that the promo
tiers of the scheme feel that they have
made mistake and are sorry for it.
