Died, on Tuesday morning, April 1st,
at the home of her daughter. Mrs. l..
III. Faulkner, Mrs. Harriet b. Bearce,
wife of Mr.. Il. S. Bearce. of Turner.
Maine, aged 81 years. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bearce arrived i'll Abilene last Septem-
Der to spend the winter with their
daughter and SOn-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Faulkner, expecting to return to their
New England home about April 1St.
Mrs. Bearce had been in feeble health
for number of years, and it was hoped
by her family that change of climate
might be beneficial to her, but it proved
to be otherwise and after an illness of
few weeks she was gently and grad
ually overcome by the sleep that
knows no waking" There are left her
husband, two sons and daughter who
feel that in the death of this patient,
loving, gentle wife and mother, they
have lost their dearest earthly friend.
The remains, accompanied by her hus-
band and son Frank, were taken to
Turner, Maine, where burial services
will be held i'll the Baptist church, the
church of which she was a member and
which she for years adorned by her
christian character and upright life.
Her children arise up and call her
blessed; her husband also and he
praiSeth her" NJ.

The prOprietOrs of the City Mills have
always tried to accommodate and please
the farmers of Dickinson and adjoining
counties, and Judging from the amount
of work they are doing for the farmers
the old City Mills are appreciated by the
public. The main reason of all this is.
they try to please every one who gives
them a call, by grinding the farmers
wheat and giving him flour from his
own wheat, i'll the old way; or, if he
cannot wait to have his grist ground,
he can have it exchanged for equally as
good flour as can be made from his
wheat. In fact, the mill should be
named the Farmers Mill, as they seem
to control it by having their work done
in it, as they say, to their satisfaction.
And it is to the farmers interest to
keep up the good odd Standby by
bringing their grain to the City Mills to
have it ground.

James Morrison, jr., the young man
who had his foot crushed by a freight
car last week, submitted to a surgical
operation on Sunday morning. Drs.
King and Herbst were the acting ply
sicians. The entire foot, with the eX-
ceptiOn of the heel, was taken off, the
patient being under the influence of
ether during the painful operation. The
accident, result of carelessness, is a
severe one and should be warming to
others to not play around the railroad.
Young Morrison, well behaved and well
liked. will be a cripple for life.

Attention. No entertainment has
visited Abilene during the past years
which can be said to exceed in interest
the Broom Brigade Drill to be given
at BOnebrake's Opera House, Friday
evening, April 18th. The brigade will
he composed of sixteen of Abilene's
charming young ladies, who appear III
dress uniform and go through the man
Ual of arms and the intricate maneu-
verS of parade drill and the battle
field. Capt. G. J. McDivitt will be i'll
command. Those of our readers who
have not attended a broom drill will
not regret accepting our statement that
it is one of the most novel and interest
ing of all entertainments. Besides the
drills the entertainment will consist of
music, singing of select and comic songs
by the Glee Club, of Solomon, and by
some of Abilene's best musical talent,
also beautiful tableaN by the brigade.
Remember the date and be sure to go.

County clerk Warning received two
very handsome and valuable silk BAN
nerS from his brother in Toxic, Japan.
last Wednesday. The design of the
larger is very beautiful and suggestive.
The American eagle, with spray of
shamrock i'll his talons, hOvers above
the American and Irish flags. Between
the two flags is circular sea, on which
is seen a L. S. man-Of-war. The smaller
banner is a very handsome design of
the British coat of arms. The work is
exquisitely done, and Mr.. Warning pos
Sesses two valuable SOurelirs of far
off land.

''CasSius hath lean and hungry
look, but if lie had dined at the Ballou
House, Minneapolis, he would have
looked as fat and sleek as Chadband.
The prOprietors Of this excellent house,
the MeSSrs. BallOu, are first-class gentle
men, and do everything i'll their power to
make their guests comfortable and feel
at home. Under their management the
BallOu House has already gained an ell
viable reputation, and when any of our
citizens are at Minneapolis they should
put up at this metropolitan house.

Wonder who the fine looking blonde
is? The Minneapolis Current says:
There's no truth in the report that
Mrs. Virtue was married to the fine
looking blonde, hailing from Abilene.
Rather strange that this report should
have got out. We must not think be-
cause they were out pleasure riding that
they were married. Pleasure seeking is
very common to young people, you
know"

At Industry, last Sunday night, writes
our correspondent, sad calamity took
place at the residence of b. Ii. McCOsh,
his wife dying in childbirth. She leaves
II children to mourn their loss. The
greatest sympathy is expressed by the
many friends of the family for the be-
reaved husband and children. Mrs.
McCOsh was kind and loving mother,
a good and affectiOnate wife, cOnsid-
crate and generous neighbOr, and true
friend. The funeral Obsequies took
place Tuesday, and the mortal remains
were followed by large cOncOurse of
sOIrowing friends to their last resting
place in Cheever cemetery.

The Laredo, Texas Times of March
18th, contains this pleasant little item:
Last evening Mrs. G. Sloan gave a
musical SOciable at her residence to
Miss Mary Rowe, who will soon take
her departure for Abilene, Kansas. 1t
was very pleasant affair indeed, and
every one present seemed to enjoy them
selves very much. Many expressions of
a safe arrival at her destination and a
speedy return to Laredo were made by
those present.

The Spanish Students; who they are
and what they have done. This cele-
brated organization, though well known
on the Continent, was first heard of i'll
this country when under the manage
ment of Henry E. Abbey they appeared
in the principal cities, and electrified
their hearers by the novelty, brilliancy
and charm of their music. The origin
of the combination was the formation
in Madrid, Spain, number of years
ago, of musical organization COM
posed of the students of the principal
college in that city, who gave num-
Der Of concerts which became exceed
ingly popular. After two years they
decided 10 visit the Paris Exposition,
and proceeded thither on foot, giving
concerts Ell route. Their playing eX-
cited unbOunded enthusiasm in Paris
and fairly took the city by storm. They
received such tiattering offers of ell
gagements from all parts of the CONT
nent that they decided to remain per-
manently upon the concert stage, and
since their appearance in Paris have
appeared with brilliant success in all
the principal European cities. Their
instruments are guitars and mandOlins,
all of which have double the number OF
strings of the ordinary instruments,
the guitars having fourteen and sixteen
strings and the mandolins twelve.
