NeWbern Notes.

The Mt Ayr Literary Society is well
attended every Friday evening.
A foot race between Commissioner
Murray and VIM. Rowe, ST., is to be
run soon.
Joseph Steffic, german who lived on
Turkey creek, was killed few days
since on his return from Abilene by the
upsetting of his wagon. When found
the wagon was turned upside down and
the spring seat was lying across his
breast, life being extinct. Squire III.
Springer held an inquest the following
day. He leaves a wife and two small
children to mourn his death.
Our weather prOgnOsticator, Commits
siOner Murray, who predicted a cold
winter in consequence of Easter coming
on Sunday this year, is entitled to a
great deal Of praise as a weather
prophet.
L. b. Mosely, who has been visiting
in Tennessee for several weeks, returned
few days since, convinced that Kan

The REFLECTOR notices that the
Hon, ]. r. BURTON and the Hon. Y. n.
CoGeEsHALL voted for resubmisslon.
According to the new standard OF Kan
sas repubhcanism, Mr.. BURTON can no
longer be termed a good republican.
His pulling JEFF DAVIS by the HAIR OF
the mead all around the House was toler-
ably good from a narrow partisan stand
point, but the republican party doesn t
go SO much onIthe "blOOdy shirt" now
as it does on prohibition. 1t will be
seen, then, that Mr.. -BURToNhas pulled
the wrong string. Mr.. BURTON should
become democrat.

A person would infer from. an article
in last weeks Chronicle that Mr.. JOHN
MAHAN is not a very warm friend to
Abilene; but as for that matter, Mr..
MAHAN is not suspected of being a
warm friend to any. person Oh. thing. In
the aforesaid mentioned article MIR.
MAHAN goes considerably out OF his
way to inform the persons who live just
outside the city gates, as it were, that
they cannot be taken in without their
consent, which, of course, is sound law.
But it will be observed that Mr.. MAHAN
himself lives just on the outside OF the
city limits, and although he enjoys all
the benefits and conveniences of city
life it is to be presumed that he doesn't
want to pay city taxes. Mr.. MAHAN
should go further in his evident efforts
to retard the growth of Abilene. lie
should rise to the consistent height OF
refusing to do business in the city.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1885-02-19
Concerning Schools.

There is undoubtedly good deal OF
feeling on the part of property owners
living outside the city limits against re-
naming in school district No. 3, in
which is situated the city schools. The
cause of this opposition the REFLECTOR
is not acquainted with.
The district as now constituted en-
braces a large territory, and it is prob
able that a considerable number OF pu-
pills do not find it pleasant to walk a
mile or two miles to school. This may
form reasonable basis for the OPPOSE
ton of some, but when such men as
Mr.. MAHAN, who lives very near the
school building, takes 1t upon himself
to gratuitously fight Abilene and Abb
lene's school, we confess that we are at
aloss to understand the motive unless 1t
be natural meanness.
The men who are working to be de-
tached from the Abilene school district
undoubtedly have legal right to do so,
and the city should try in no manner to
coerce them to stay where they are.
The REFLECTOR believes, however,
that the men who are trying to form
new districts are adopting suicidal
course, or at least a very unwise one.
If they succeed in having the outside
territory formed into new districts their
taxes will in all probability be higher
and the educational privileges of their
children will be greatly inferior. They
must build new school houses, furnish
them. hire teachers, and all this must
be done from comparatively small val
uation. 1t may not be amisS to state
that the school tax for the Abilene dis
trict is but $1.40 on the $780,, which is
a much lower rate than is paid by sew
en-eights of the country districts of the
county. And out of this low rate a
sinking fund is being built up to pay
off the bonds when they become due.
Abilene has the best schools in the
state. They are admirably equipped,
the service is excellent and the grade is
high. Bearing these facts in mind,
those property owners who are trying
to detach themselves from such educa-
tional privileges and to substitute there
for the necessarily limited scope of
country school, can not but see that
they are working against the best in
terests of their children.
The REFLECTOR would be pleased to
see the school district remain as it is,
and the city of Abilene, with none but
kindly feelings for those outside the
limits, will be sorry from other than
mercenary motives to see them leave
her.
But as the REFLECTOR stated before,
il the dissatisfied ones want to form
new school districts for themselves. the
people of this city should not make the
mistake of trying to keep them from
doing SO.

A Broken Leg.

Thursday afternoon, about 6 O'CLOCK, e
Mr.. Cox and his 18-year-old son were
about six miles north Of this place, on
their way to Abijah Cox's, In the south
part OF Graham county, the team which
they were driving became frightened, and
the son, in jumping out of the wagon,
struck the ground in such way as to
break his left leg Immediately above the
ankle. He was brought back to town,
and is now at the Union House. He has
had good medical attendance, but the
break is very serious one.
Mr.. Cox and his son had just arrived
from Indiana, and were on their way to
Graham county to look for land.

Hymeneal.

A very pleasant affair took place at the
Cakes House at l o'clock p. M. last Sab
bath. 1t was the marriage of Mr.. w. S.
Varnum and Miss Allie Case by Rev. Mr..
Stayt. The only witnesses of the cere-
mony were few friends.
The probate judges records mention
both the bride and groom as being ''of
Wa-Keeney." Both are graduates OF
Hillsdale, Mich, college. Mr.. Vernum's
home heretofore has been at or near LIE
Mars, Iowa, and Mrs. Varnum's place OF
residence, until recently, was Rock Island,
Ill.
They viii make their home in the neat
residence of T. j. Losing, in the eastern
part of town. Mr.. Varnum will engage
in the real estate business and in practice
before the government land Office, with
the further object in view of practicine
law In the near future. He will, for the
present. at least, have his Office in the
bank building.
The WoRLn believes that Mr.. and Mrs.
Varnum will find no reason to regret hav-
ing selected Wa Keeney for their home.

OUGHT TO BE SUPPRESSED.

There is a sort of plagiarism INDUCED
in by the weekly press of the country
that ought to be suppressed. Fol
instance, If the Atchison Champion re.
ceives monthly report from the state
board of agriculture, and takes great
deal of care in review of it for its readers
that paper ought to have credit for its
labor when others copy it. It is mis-
taken idea which some people have that a
credit is attached to an article simply to
give an author credit for his thoughts;
not this only, but it is done to show the
enterprise of paper to show who en-
deavOrs to get live news for his columns.
The tone of newspaper may easily be
determined from the extent to which its
columns are quoted agricultural COL
ieee fndnSfrs0iisf.
The /ndnst,ralia is right as far as it
goes. 1t does not 60 far enough. We
have on our exchange list certain papers
in whose editorial columns we look for
nothing original. If, in this class of
papers, we see purported editorial
article whose sentiments meet our ever so
hearty endorsement, We generally let it
alone. We do not have to do injury to
some working journalist by giving lazy
or incompetent one undeserved notoriety.
But the agricultural college organ does
the weekly press great wrong when it
limits to them this contemplate stealing
OF thought. There is not daily paper
on our exchange list which does not do
great deal of this class of stealing, and
the theft is just as likely to be committed
in an important murder article as in an
item on the increase of the hotel arrivals.
We are almost afraid of being laughed
at for saying il, but our demands of any
journalists qualifications, briefly summed
up, are these: He should speak and write
with correctness the tongue in which the
type for his paper is set; he should be the
hardest worker in his community, to the
end that his paper may compare, at least,
with the average book in neatness of
makeup and general grammatical purity.
No paper OF this character is ever filed
with stolen thought.
Laugh now, Il you will This is the
ideal newspaper goal Many things, such
as patent prints, incompetency, laxiness
and general cursedness, are in the way of
the full realization of this ideal; but our
faith is complete. nevertheless, that we
have not misjudged the true journalistic
road. And what royal road it is!
