Liberty with every prospect for sue
cess.
Columbia's curve pitcher, A. eau
thorn, aided by the Mexico second
nine, wiped the earth up with the
Thompson Reds Saturday at this
place. The cold facts in the case are
that the Thompson Reds having sat
down on the Benton City boys with
a dull, sickening thud their first game
and after toying with them the sec.
ond game as a cat plays with a mouse,
letting it loose only to catch it again,
(in order that the outside boys could
get up some "stuff'' and thereby
make a stake) then cleaning them uk
with ease on the home stretch, came
to the remarkable conclusion thai
they could play ball. A. Cauthorn
with his effective curves, dispelleG
the delusion and Thompson Reds
wilted like a bean struck by q cy
clone. The score stood 80 to 23 il
favor of Mexico.
NOTES.
Reds no good.
"We told you So"
Our boys did too much "kicking.'
Cauthorn's curves did the work.
The Reds will now go to work il
earnest and try to learn how to pla,
ball.

er and L. a. Reed, Board of Educa-

ter and L. a. Reed, Board of Educa-
ton.
Fourth ward-D. G. Smith and
Richard Brown, cOuncilmen; G.. W.
,Barcus and j. G. Lightner, Board of
Education.
No action was taken to call a city
convention for the nomination of city
officers, it being pretty generally the
sentiment that the city officers Mayor,
City Treasurer, Treasurer Board of Ed
,ucatiOn, Justices of thePeace and Police
Judge, should have a free field, no
favOrS and the best men win. @. G..
Hawk and J. S. Durkee are spoken Of
as candidates for City treasurer, J.
E. BOnebrake and p. j. Berry as candi-
dates for Treasurer of Board of Educa-
ton and A. w. Rice as candidate for
Mayor. In all probability a strong
fight will be made upon these offices.
Quinn and Smith will probably have
no opposition and will be elected JUS
tices of the Peace. There is some talk
of bolt from the decision of the third
ward caucus because the two candi-
dates nominated for councilmen live on
the same block. This fact should have
been brought out in the caucus by
the men who threaten to kick. A kick
now would be in bad taste and should
not be allowed to succeed if made. But
as we said before, and the electrical
condition of the political atmosphere
will back us, there promises to be a
musical disturbance on election day.

The City Election.

Ward caucuses were held last Mon
day evening and candidates for city Of
fees were put in nomination. The at
tendance at the several caucuses was
large, and more interest was manifested
in the selection of city officers than
has prevailed heretofore. Probably
the most harmonious gathering was the
third ward caucus, where everyone was
in a good humOr and no friction was
visible. The second ward caucus was
excited and good deal TO competition
was the result. The second ward has
already earned the name of ''the kick
ing ward, . and the name win probably
stick. At the first and fourth ward
caucuses the work was done without
any noteworthy friction. The follow
ing officers were nominated: e-Ii u 1si-
First ward A. c., Romig and W. III.

and A. j. Petit, Board of Education.
Second ward-L. H. Lifts and Saml

and John Johntz, Board of Education.

Go. X. IS fair was q success 1t was
more largely attended than any social
entertainment of the winter. The boys
spared no pains nor expense to make ii
a success, and the people took hold of
1t. Their interest was very gratifying
to the Company, and the financial re-
suit will greatly add to the enthusiasm
and earneStneSS of its members. Stand
ing on a strong financial footing and
animated by an excellent esprit de corps.
the company will rapidly push itself
forward to the front. 1t will become
one of the proud institutions of the
city, and our citizens will not regret
whatthey have done fOrit. Speaking more
particularly of the fair, we may truth
fully say that it was admirably conduct
ed in all of its different features. The
fancy table, the supper table, pie and
confectionery and flower stands, the
post office and art gallery were all well
patroniZed. Mr.. Rice won the cane
that was to go to the most popular can
didate for Mayor after hard struggle
He was closely pressed by b. II. D'Huy.
The most popular ministerial cane was

friends of Revs. Bowers and Nice arthy,
but at the close of the contest quiet
but decisive ballot was cast for Father
Leary, who won the cane, which
brought S175. The handsome silver
and glass fruit dish was voted to Mrs.
McCollom as the most popular lady in
the house. The silk hat to the most
popular lawyer was won by Mr.. Camp
bell, the pOet-lawyer, who occasioned
much merriment by putting up good
money against advertising scrip. The
main interestof the fair conferred around
these articles, but handsome baby
carriage and many fancy articles were
sold with great advantage to the COM
pany. The two nights Melted the COM
pany about $500. 1t is needless to say
what is already known, that the boys
are profoundly grateful to the ladies
whose exertions more than ANYTHING
else made the fair success, and to the
business men and citizens generally for
their generous liberality.

The fire alarm yesterday morning
was promptly responded to by the fire
department, but as the fire could not be
readily located the boys thought the
alarm was an April fool and turned
back. They were again called out by
ChiefOgden, who stated that a barn was
burning on the north end of Buckeye
Avenue. Appropriating wagon, Hose
Co. No. was soon at the scene of the
fire and pouring stream of water on
what remained of small barn belong
ing to Jacob Lott. A COW and some
hogs were in the barn but they were
rescued by VIM. Schopp. Mr.. Lott was
away from home, and the fire was
started by the proverbial small boy with
matches. The loss is not more than
$50:

While looking at the stallion show
last Saturday, Mr.. j. n. Burton, of JEFF
ferson tp., was kicked in the left side
by a magnificent stallion belonging to
Mr.. n. Ruse. The horse wheeled sud
denly around and let fly his ponderous
hoofS, the blow catching Mr.. Burton
and knocking him heels over head into
the crowd. His nearness to the horse
was the only thing that prevented his
death. For awhile he was inSensible.
but reviving he was taken to Mr.. Frank
Smiths house on Broadway, where he
was examined by DR.. GarcelOn. 1t was
found that two of his ribs were broken.
and that a piece of bone had penetrated
his left lung. The DR.. thinks that the
hurt is not of serious nature, and the
REFLECTOR hopes to see Mr.. Burton
speedily restored to his old time health
and strength.

The City Mills have lately put in the
new patent roller process machinery

high in the market. Since the improve

business head of 1.-The Abilene Mill

FLECToR is glad to chronicle its large
and growing measure of success. The

The attention of our farmers and
stockmen is called to the advertise
ment of Alfred Pray's horses, which
appears in another part of this paper.
Mr.. Pray is the most enthusiastic
and energetic breeder of fine horses in
this county and his stable of
thoroughbred stations cannot be eX-
celled in the State, He is all the time
looking out for the best, and will buy
none but the best. 1t will pay you to
give Mr.. Pray's advertisement careful
study.

The fine stallion show of last Satur-
day, when about twenty thoroughbred
stations were exhibited on the streets
of this city, was conclusive evidence of
the progress Dickinson county has
made during the past dozen years in
the way of fine stock. The families
represented were the English Draught,
Percheron, Clydesdale, Mormon, Nor
gan and Hambletonian. Mr.. Alfred
Pray'S fine imported Percheron stallion
Meredith was among the number.
Meredith's action was shown by trot-
ting him behind pair of running
horses. He easily kept up with them,
showing a four minute speed, which is
something remarkable in a horse of his
immense proportions. The show was
revelation to our people.
