of value. Ayers SarSaparilla is con-
centrated and pOwerful; requires a
smaller dose, and is more effected, dose
for dose, than any other Sarsaparilla. 1t
is the best of all blood medicines.
Kansas beats the world, Bro. Strother. 705 dOz-
en- eggs from three COWS cannot be equalled out
side the empire of Observation-Disclosures.
And such a phenomenon can exist
only in the fertile brain of our esteemed
brother of the quill. The REFLECTOR
disclaims all responsibility of such
statement.

Major Bowling, w. Hallowell and c.
Stevens returned on Tuesday from a
visit to New Orleans and the South.

The "high-fyer' and bigamous
masher. Colonel j. J. Tucker, was
sentenced at the late District Court, In
Morris county, to a two years term in

some lady in nearly every state in which
he travelled. Girls beware of these gay
men.

Squire John r. Warnock of north
Dickinson was in to see us last Saturday.
He says that the farmers III his neigh
borhood will build wagon bridge across
Chapman creek, seven miles above Chap
man. and that Junction City will help
build it. This action, he informs US, is
due to the refusal of the commissioners
of this county to build the bridge asked
for, and that the farmers are interested
in the matter because the grain market
at junction is so much better than at
Chapman or Abilene.
The parties who left that portable engine in
front OF the Abilene Bank, on Second street, on
oughfareS have not become a warehouse. Our
city marshal should see TO 1t that the like does
not occur again.-Rochester Daily.
The next time Sheriff Miller has farm
machinery to sell he will take it outside
the city limits. But we trust that our
esteemed Rustlers from the cultured
! East will allow the farmers to continue
to hitch their horses to awning posts as
heretofore. 1t might be paralyzing to
trade to insist that our ''main thorough
fares" are not so many stable yards
| We take the liberty to suggest that the
powerful batteries of our aforesaid es-
teemed Rustlers might be turned with
profit on the grasping railroad power.
