The Republican is quite right in holding
that it is time to pay attention to the quality

more vigorous means to keep the source pure
becomes more urgent as population increases
on the Upper Potomac and its tributary
streams. Even if the water is as yet fit to
drink, it will not be many years before
Washington must follow the example Of
other cities and have its supply filtered

II seems strange that anyb body, American
or foreign, should think that the marriage
of a President calls for any "oiiicial' recog-
milton, or that the forms of European
monarchical ceremony in any way apply to
it. The marriage of a King is of national i'm
portance because it concerns the succession to
the throne, and his spouse may even become,
az We see now in Spain, regent and actual
sovereign of the country. The people of the
United States have no more practical concern
with the marriage Of the Executive for the
time being than they have with that of any
private gentleman. They have at most a
sentimental interest, for the idea that his
being married instead of single will affect

have had right to complain. As the cloud
of gossip and malicious fault-hnding clears
away, ii will be seen that the President acted
throughout with becoming modesty and
good sense. The simple wedding at the
White House, with no more privacy than
prevented the intrusion of uninvited guests

Washington is well provided with parks,
but owing to an absurd law or a forced con-
struction of the law, these parks ara compar-
atively valueless. The clause which pro-
hibits public reservations from bsing used
"for any private purpose" is held by those
in authority to mean that public ground
cannot be occupied for suitable racreations
like lawn tennis or croquet. The parks of
other cities are made picturesque by hundreds
of these games, but at the National Capital
alone many hundred acres of handsome lawn
are kept simply to look at. There can be no
doubt that the parks wonll be immeasur-
ably more beneficial to the health and morals
of the people if they could be made more use
of. And surely few dozen games Of lawn
tennis would make the White Lot far more
attractive than ever. BY opening the parks
under proper restrictions, TO such games
thousands of persons could bs provided with
innocent and healthful recreation, and the
damage would not amount altogether to more
than a few hundred dollars year.

Pleyser Not Dead.

The Topeka Journal, of Monday, June
21st, in speaking of the base ball game
at Salina between the Abilene and Sa-
lima clubs, and the accident which hap
pened, says:
During the fifth inning short fly
was batted into right field and amid the
shouting of the crowd on the grounds
both the right fielder, Pleyser, and the
second baseman, Neisley, started to-
gether for the ball, being unable to hear
their captain. They ran together with
terrible shock and both fell as if life
less. Niesley made an effort to rise,
but dropped back to the ground insen-
sible. Time was called by the umpire.
Pleyser was struck over the heart, and
when picked up and carried off the field
was bleeding at the nose and ears. He
lived until Saturday night, totally I'M
conscious, when he died suffering great
agony"
Instead of Pleyser dying the next day,
he came to the front and reported him
self as feeling "bully" and ready to
play ball again, and the way in which
he handled himself in the game at En-
poria, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of this week, one would consider
him very lively corpse.

We learn that the leading managers
Of the new town, Kanopolis, in Els
worth county, made Abilene visit last
week for the purpose of offering induce
mentS to MeSsrS. Wishart & Knapp to
move their machine shops to that place.
The terms which they offered are very
liberal and it is likely they will be
accepted unless the leading moneyed
men of Abilene take steps to keep
them here. This company employs on
an average about twenty men, making
their pay roll about $500 per week, thus
it will be seen that it would be big
loss to Abilene should the shops be
moved away. The REFLECTOR would
suggest that the Board of Trade look
into this matter, for it is of much i'm
portance to this city and county.
While encouragement is being offered
to manufacturers to come here, encour-
agement should also be offered to re-
lin those which are now here. This
is no trifling matter, but is worthy i'm
mediate attention by our business men
and the Board of Trade.

Carlton Chips.

Wheat harvest is here, but farmers
are not very jubilant over the favorable
returns.
S. NJ. French is quite sick at present.
C. T. Bear, his accommodating clerk, is
kept busy in the store on account Of it.
From the sound of the Ratchet and
the saw and the number of buildings
being erected, one would be lead to be-
lieve that Carlton is destined to be a
young city in the near future.
Yesterday was big day here. Be
sides the usual number of citizens on
the streets was seen quite number of
jolly fellows from Abilene, amongst
them Maj. Bowling, B. II. D'Huy, Cy.
Liggett and lawyer Biting.
Geo. Haley is erecting a new building
for hotel and restaurant business. John
Watt the same but from a larger pat
tern. A store room is just completed
which will be occupied by Bonebrake &
Rice with hardware. l.. A. Peck is
having erected new and commOdiOus
room which he will occupy as soon as
completed, his old one not being large
enough for his business.

F. V. Closes Hog Ranch.

Last Thursday in company with Mr..
F. V. Close, We editor took a ride
through Willowdale township. All
along our route we noticed fine farms
with beautiful fields of corn, oats, rye,
and in many places large fields of way
ing wheat, in fact all the farms indica-
ted good management at the hands of
their owners. On arriving at Mr.. Closes
cattle and hog ranch we were surprised
for we found it much larger than was
anticipated, containing over six hundred
acres, well fenced with from six to
eight wires, making it one of the best
enclosed ranches in the state. Mr.. C.
has on his ranch the finest lot of pure
bred Poland China hogs ever brought
to or raised in this county. He has
several fine breeders from the blue rib
bon hog ranch of B. F. Dorsey & Son,
Perry ILL.,, which speaks volumes for
his stock, for Mr.. Dorsey has taken
more premiums with his stock than any
other ten breeders together in this
country. Mr.. Close was the first gen
tleman to successfully introduce this
fine stock Of hogs into this county, and
by dealing strictly in only pedigree
stock the REFLECTOR is glad to state
that he has been successful in awaken
ing an interest among the farmers of
Dickinson and adjoining counties to

Athletic Tour.

The Athletic 3. B. c., returned from
their western trip this morning all feel
ing in good shape and well satisfied
with their trip. The first stopping
place was Abilene, where they met
their only defeats to the tune of II to 2
and to Z. They were treated to the
best the town afforded and left feeling
satisfied, and also on Abilene's trip
here, they would reverse the score.
The next game was at Salina, where
they met Cook and Ford as battery,
formerly of the Topeka league. They
defeated Salina by a score of 9 to 3.
The treatment afforded the boys here
was not cOmmendable in the least.
The boys next tackled Minneapolis,
the supposed champions of that section
and defeated them in a score of Is to 10.
Of the treatment here the boys cannot
say too much, as it was perfection.
From here they wendell their way
toward DelphOS, where they played
their last game, which was a walk-away.

Last Friday morning the Abilene
Base Ball club, accompanied by several
of their admirers, left on the early train
for Salina. The game was called at
o'clock. Abilene was entitled to the UNI
pire and L. A. WEIGH, of this city, call
ed to that position. The Salina kickers
began to show their sweet disposition,
to-wit: the disposition of a mule by
braying and kicking, and one Powers,
who is pulled up with the great and
powerful position of superintendent of
the grounds, wagged his official tongue
In very coarse and contemplate man
ner which showed him to be perfect
boar. Salina has many honorable,
gentlemanly men that ought to fire
such cattle as are attempting to run the
different amusements held at Oakdale
park, and save the reputation of the
town. The different Topeka papers
speak of the bad treatment shown the
Athletic club. Weaver, who played
with the Olathe club last year, said
that Salina mistreated the Olathe boys
in manner that would not soon be for
gotten. The objection made to WEIGH IS
umpiring was an insult to the entire
club and its management. 1t was yir-
tually charging them with an attempt to
steal the game. Capt. Baker, Dan
Wagestaff, L. G.. Hamilton, Harper
Cunningham, Col. Palmer and several
others acted the part of gentlemen and
endeavored to give our boys fair play,
but the bulldozers showed themselves
to the front. The Abilene club becOm-
ing thoroughly Disguised with their
treatment gathered up their bats and
were leaving the grounds but finally
consented to play after the Salina club
withdrew their objections to Welch
and out of respect for the wishes of the
better element of the Salina people.

THE ATHLETICS RETURN.

The Athletic Base Ball club have re-
turned from their trip through the
western part of the state. They played
five games of ball and won three of them.
The first two were with Abilene,
which were lost. They defeated Salina
by a score of 8 to =. and Minneapolis
by a score of Is to 10, and Delphos by a
score of 10 to 2. The boys say they
were treated very courteously at all
these places, except Salina. The next
game game will be played at Topeka on
on July 8 with the Wyandottes, and

club has played eight games and lost

then give particulars in full.
We don't pretend to be either a pro-
l'het or priest but if the present indi-
cations mean anything and the citizens
Il this vicinity keep up their energy,
there is hardly doubt but in the near
future Carlton will be a thriving little
town. Good water is found easily, it
is surrounded by fine farming and
stock country, the people are honest,
industrious and intelligent, and barring
the present wheat crop everything bids
fair for happy and prosperous future
for this entire community.

would have shut Salina out, but TO l
an unfortunate accident in the last halt
of the fifth inning, the game had to be
called, Neisley, second baseman, and
Pleyser, right fielder, both attempted
to catch the same fly ball which was
batted by one of the Salina players,
with their eyes on the ball and running
at nearly the top of their speed they
struck each other with a sickening thud
and both fell as though struck with
canon ball. Neisley revived in about
ten minutes, but Pleyser was uncon-
sciOus for nearly an hour and unable to
come home until the next day. At the
time of the accident the score stood to
0, in favor of the Abllenes. Our club
was playing magnificent game, some
of the catches, stops and throws being
brilliant. No further games
will be played with the Salina club I'M
less there is a radical change in the
of that nine.
