To The Teachers of Dickinson County

The final arrangements for the An
nual Normal Institute have been COM
pleted. The Institute will convene
Monday, July 9th, and continue in
session four weeks, closing with the
regular quarterly examinations.
1t is the aim of those having charge
of the Institute to avoid the frequently
routine work and to present to the
teachers new work and new methods.
The great demand of the times is for
more zeal and energy, better scholar
ship and for more thoroughly qualified
teachers in the common schools. 1t is
believed that the teachers of Dickinson
county appreciate the Importance Of
their work and that they will lend their
assistance in making the Institute this
year the most successful ever held in
the county.
Arrangements have been made with
a sufficient number of hotels and private
families to accommodate all who wish
to attend. Respectfully,
d. d. HoRNADAY, Co. Supt.

ton until Tuesday last, on the farm of
Mr.. Hunton, east of town. The ma
chine is on the plan of a header with a
thresher attached to the left hand side.
1t cuts and threshes the wheat at the
same time. Some three men and about
eight horses are required to run the
machine and take care Of the wheat.
The machine is manufactured at Enter
prise and farmers should see it and
Judge for themselves whether it is the
machine they want or not.

Last Monday we went out to the hay

Mr.. Wishart's patent hay rake and
stacker. This rake and stacker is I'M
doubtedly the best thing for thepurpOse
ever invented, and to show the utility
and economy of the machine Mr.. Eli
son told us that the same forty acres
cost him last year nearly one hundred
dollars to cut, rake and stack the hay,
but with this rake and stacker the eX-
penses would not exceed twenty dollars.
They are manufactured at the Abilene
Foundry and every farmer who has
any pretentions at making hay should
have this rake and stacker, which is so
simple in its construction that twelve
year old boy can handle it with ease.

The foregoing is one of Harris jokes,

little to commend it to discriminating
public. Instead of throwing out a
basely humorous insinuatiOp, he should
have said with emphasis and decision:
I'VE know that this does not refer to

the movement of virtue as well as in
telligence is from the towns to the cit
les. Perhaps when Mr.. Hart gets too
old to live he will know enough and be
good enough to move to Kansas City or
some other city. And the editors of
the Times are christian, GOd-fearing
men and forcible writer's. The st. Louis

The question of voting the $4,000
bonds for city Improvements is now the
general topic of the day. 1t is fact
that our streets need grading and drain
ing. but to make standard grade as
the one recently adopted five thousand
dollars would not be more than drop
in the bucket. And to vote bonds for
an amount which would only enable
the city to do a small portion OF the
work required would cause more
grumbling and dissatisfaction among
our people than when the streets were
flooded with water. Taking this view
of the matter it seems to us that the
best plan is to fix the dyke, grade and
ditch the streets similar to Broadway,
and in many places lay sewer pipes,
and if the grade lately adopted is to
he strictly adhered to let it be done as
our finances will admit. By working
the streets in this manner we believe
the CITY could be put in a safe and
proper shape from overtiows with the
present financial income of the city
without voting bonds or even resorting
to the unpopular plan of levying an oc-
cupation tax which the council now has
under contemplation should the bond
question fail to carry. The REFLECTOR
does not Jump at ideas and run them
upon the public without any judg-
ment as does the Gazette, but rather it
gives all questions careful study and
whenever it advises its readers upon a
matter rest assured that it is in the
lead and on the right side. The RE-
FLECToR has always advocated that
which would prove the most beneficial
to the interest and prosperity of our
city and we believe that on the 31st of
July that the people will say amen to
the views of the REFLECTOR.

The Bond Question.
For the REFLECTOR.

For the REFLECTOR.
Will you allow constant reader of your paper
to say word through its columns in relation to
the bond question that is now agitating the minds
of the voters of our city:
-Four years ago A. W. Rice, then Mayor of the
city, cut dixie in the northwestern part of the
city to cut the water that comes down a ravine,
and which formerly flowed through what is now
the central part of the city, and turn it into Mud
creek, and it answered the purpose well. Mr..
Brown at the brick kiln, says that if the dixie had
been kept in order it would have carried off all the
water that fell during the recent heavy rains. The
ditch is filed up, the grass and weeds have caught
the sediment till it is in places nearly full, and
each returning shower must bring accommodating
filth collected for miles northwest of the city down
through its streets, spreading disease and death
among our people. And the drain east OF the city
is also in poor condition TO carry off the stagnant
water from our streets. Now can the Mayor and
Council make the necessary improvements on our
streets, cut off the water above, and head that
which collects in the city to the river, without
funds Come, let us reason together. There are
no funds on hand and none can be collected be-
fore next December By that time the prObabili-
~ is the ground will be frozen, so that the work
must lay over for one year. The statement Is
made public that the Mayor and Council can issue
street bonds to do necessary work. As ! write
have the statute before me, and there Is no author
itv to do anything of the kind. A stranger walk
ing around and taking in our town a few days ago,
remarked to one of our citizens, your town has Il
building boom, but your streets would be dis
grace TO any town. Voters will yOu allow this
disgrace to remain, will you vote for bonds and
have our Streets put in a condition 80 that we may
point TO them with pride: CITIZEN.
