The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1885-02-12

Civil service reform works nicely in
Kansas. Last Thursday Gov. MARTIN
nominated and the Senate confirmed a
large number Of persons to different
state offices. 1t is needless to say that
a large majority of the removals were
CLICK appointees, whose terms did not
naturally expire for one, two and three
years. Mayor MCDIvTTT, of this city was
made Quartermaster- G eheral Of militia
In the light Of these nominations the
love and respect entertained for the
civil service law by Republican federal
office holders in this State may be re-
garded as a StupendOus and magnificent
joke. Republican federal Office holders
in Kansas should go.

Mr.. CLEVELAND has been receiving
calls during the past week from the
leading democrats of the nation. He
has been sitting at the feet, as it were,
of the many broad and patriotic states
men who so signally honor and dIstln-
guish the democratic party. He is learn
ing wisdom from them, and is laying up
stores of knowledge for future USE
GROVER is singularly attentive to the
remarks of his distinguished visitors,
and it may be said with al confidence
that his administration viii be success

The present Speaker Of the Kansas

taken. The day of the "blOody shirt

A CLAIM To BE SETTLED.
The States Swamp Land Claims To Be Ad-
iusted Without Further Examination.

A istter was received yesterday by State Aud
itor Rice from William A. Meloy, the Indiana
claim agent at Washington, stating that the
Secretary of the Interior had given formal
written consent to the adjustment of Indianas
swamp land claims on the basis of the pats of
survey and field notes, without recourse
10 an examination or the testimony
of witnesses. Mr.. Meloy says that
he will nov push the business forward with all
possible dispatch. and it is altogether probable
that the State will soon secure the money due
on these claims, which cover about forty thou
sand acres of swamp land valued at about 81 25
per acre, making total of $4,000 or more. It
was feared that the State would lose this money.
through the failure of the last Legislature to
make any allowance for the collection of the
claims, but Dir. Meloy has undertaken the work,
trusting to the next Legislature for his pay.

PRICE OF SECONDHAND PIANOS.

Determine the amount you will invest in a
piano according to your means, and the serv-
ice expected Of the instrument.
Fifty dollars will buy piano of about six
octaves, with light tone and action, the in
strument being of old style.
Seventy-five dollars will buy a or 10
octave piano. somewhat better than the above
One hundred dollars will buy a very good
. IL or 3 % octave piano that has been used
long, but is still very serviceable, or maybe
some octave piano of old style.
One hundred and twenty five dollars will
buy fairly serviceable octave piano. of
plain legs and case, but with fair tone and &C.
ton.
One hundred and fifty dollars will buy a
good octave piano of modern style, with
good case and very serviceable instrument
in the family. One that will give much pleas
ure Tor many years.
One hundred and seventy-fve dollars will
buy very good piano of modern style, with
carved legs, an instrument almost practically
as good as a new one, costing 1919 or $500.
The tone and action will be good; the case
handsome and in fair condition.
instruments of celebrated makes in good
condition will, of course bring higher prices,
those named above applying to the general
run of secondhand pianos.
Pianos at the above prices may be pur-
chased on installments, by paying one-ffth of
the price down and the balance in twelve
equal monthly payments.
In buying a piano or organ many persons
have the idea that they must pay all cash.
There are thousands of families who have an
income of fifty to one hundred dollars per
month who can easily spare from five to ten
dollars of it and scarcely miss it. To all such
we would say, do not wait to lay up enough
to pay for an instrument before buying, but
see OF write us at once for our terms We
furnish hundreds of homes every year with
pianos and organs, and take our pay in small
installments. All letters of inquiry cheerfully
answered. We have men for that purpose
alone, so do not hesitate to write and tell us
just how you can afford to buy.

AEACORTES, -. .LULY II 1888

In Oysterville, last Monday evening, a
Chinaman and an klootchman were unit
ed In the "holy bonds of matrimony."
The name of the groom is Jung Dakc,
and Mrs. Jung Dske's name was Sally
Peet. The marriage ceremony was per.
Toned by Rev. II. Hadley, in the sitting
room of the Pacific House, and there was
larger crowd out to witness the wed
ding than was eyer known to be gathered
together IN Oystervile. A large crowd
of Indians and the Cbinaman came over
from South Bend in canoe in the fore>
noon, and IN the afternoon nothing but
the prospective wedding was mentioned
on the streets. At 8 o'clock young and
old commenced focking to the Pacific
House, and in about an hour the loving
~ couple appeared and were seated.
The costumes were unique, to say the
least. and we will not attempt to describe
them. The Chinaman persisted in being
married with bis coat Off in his shirts
sleeves, and was looking around as self
possessed as if being married was nothing
new to him. But the bride was the very
picture OF bashfulness, not even lifting
her head to say YES. Dake paid $3.50
for bis wife to her father. Kissing the
bride was omitted, although every one in
the room called for that part OF the cerc-
mony. No one not even the happy Chi
naman, wanted to be first. Immediately
after the ceremony the bride ran away
from her husband aud refused speaking
to him for day or two, and Jung Dake
became highly indignant, and demanded
the return of bis money. He says $50
is pretty high price for a wife these
hard times. One thing is sure, that the
worldly affairs of "Sally" will be much
bettcred, as Duks is a "Boss" Chinaman
and has accumulated considerable money.
He formerly worked in the Hoquiam mill
as boss of the Cinnamon, and holds the
position in the South Bend mill now, we
are informed. The boys around town
made. the night hideous for few hours.
with tin cans and other "instruments" but
they finally Quoted down when Oak e
gave them some silver. This wedding
was undoubtedly "the event of the sea-
son.. May the queerly matched couple
live long and prosper.

Joseph looked at her; his face turn

burst out into a curious, hysterical

When Joseph took his leave, as he

to himself, with quiet little smile,

Tessy was there alone, playing and

A Hungarian Bridal Procession.

The bridemother greeted the little
rosy bride cordially, and the count
after speaking with the groom handed
her into his carriage, where she was
seated at the right OF the bridemother,
the count sitting opposite to her. She
showed some emotion, but bore her
self with simple graceful dignity
which would have done credit to a
fine lady. Then began our progress
to the church, at the other end of the
little town; the Bridegroom and bride
maids walked near the counts car
rage Young beech trees had been
cut down and set in the ground, form
ing an alley of tender green foliage,
from house to church, through which
we passed. At least a thousand peo-
pie were on foot about us, throwing
torpeaoes beneath our horses feet,
singing and shouting, and sometimes
dancing in couples. [ can give you
no idea..of. the noise and confusion, and
of the discordant music; of the mad
plunging of our horses, of the wild
capers Of the ponies of the banderium;
and, but for the continued and smil>
ing omplacency of those beside me, [
should have experienced terror rather
than enjoyment OF this very novel
and un~American bridal procession.
