The American public will be likely
to know the truth in regard to the
Panama Canal within short time.
The New York Chamber OF commerce,
in response to an invitation by De
Lesseps, recently selected John Bige-
low and Nathan Appleton to join the
former in his tour Of inspection at AS.
pinwall. These two gentlemen sailed
for Aspinwall recently and will accom-.
pany De Lesseps in his trip. over the
proposed route Of the great waterway
and report on their return. The high
character Of Messrs. Bigelow and APP.
pleton renders it certain that their
report when made may be accepted
by the public without question.

The workingmen Of this country are
sometimes disc ntented at their con.
-dition during the seasons OF depres.
sion, but if the reports from England
are to be credited, all the distress
among our working people is trivial
compared with the priyation existing
among the lower classes in Great Brit
ain. IN this country the stoppage Of
mills and manufactures means seri-
Gus inconvenience to the employees,
together with considerable loss at.
tending the removal to another local.
ity, but in Europe the closing OF indus.
trial blishments is to those EN-.
ployed an awful disaster, for every
other place is as badly crowded as the
one they leave, and most OF the work
men are not able TO save enough from
. year to year to provide for season
of idleness, or to emigrate from the
country. So, although there is com.
paratively little consolation to be de
rived from the fact that others are
u q worse situation than ourselves,
we have whatever can arise from that
sBotiree. 4.

When the death OF Gen. Hancock
was announced the project was i'm.
mediately preached to erect asuitable
monument to his memory but when
it became known that he died com.
paratively poorit was rightly deemed
most important that before the mon.
ument was erected his countrymen
should make it their duty to suitably
provide for his bereaved widow. The
monument will rise in due time, but
at present, the best tribute that the
American people can pay to the pa.
triotism, heroism and unsullied public
and private character Of General Han
cock, would be by a prompt and lib
eral provision for his family.

1t is officially estimated that the
milling capital Of Kansas is $8,Oo0,,
600, with an annual product valued
at So, 1888, 900. In 1874 the milling
capital was but 100000. It is
further estimated that the total daily
capacity is 32,670 barrels. At five
bushels Of grain to the barrel of pro.
duct, with running OF mills 800 days

equal 48,OO5, 900 bushels per annum,
The returns, however, would indicate

Dangerous Counterfeit silver Dollars

Dangerous Counterfeit Silver Dollars.
La Crosse Special: Teller Hankerson,
of the La Crosse National bank, discover
ed counterfeit silver dollar that is pro-
nounced by all bank people in the city
absolutely the most dangerous bogus that
any of them here ever saw. 1t is a stand
ard dollar OF the coinage OF 1881
The outside is silver, and the die is
in every substantial particular as clear
as the original. It stands all microscope
cal tests, having the secret "M' on each
side, the only variation being that under a
powerful microscope the 81 in "E Pluribus
Unum'' is little misshaped, being larger at
the top than the bottom. The only posi-
BILE means Of discovery is by weight, it be-
ing exactly forty seven grains short Of the
standard. and about forty three
grains short OF the average. The
lack OF weight is not sufficient to
be noticeable by any one except an expert.
The bank gave notice to all other banks
it the city, and one appeared on the State
bank counter. This warrants the belief
that somebody is showing the counter
feits here. Cashier Burton thinks it posi-
BILE that the coin is pure silver, the differ
ence in weight yielding a profit OF 20 per
cent. to the manufacturers.

Abilene, to-day, is one of the best
towns in the State. Her business men
are wide-awake and energetic. Size
has labored under the disadvantage of
only having one railroad, and has kept
pace with the majority of towns that
have had the advantage of several lines.
Tile stamina of her citizens, and the
beautiful and fruitful country in the
vicinity, settled by intelligent and i'll
dustrious people, have made her the
pride of our county.
But her future prospects are indeed
most brilliant. Bonds have been voted
for three trunk lines. namely the
Chicago, st. Joseph & Fl. Worth, the
Santa Fe and Chicago & Rock Island
The Santa Fe will be running into Abb
lene in less than four months, giving
us railway connections with one of the
greatest railroad systems in the world.
The Fort Worth and Rock Island will
be throwing dirt in this county before
many months and then Abilene will
boom as no city, outside of Wichita, has
ever equaled. With four great trunk
lines reaching out in every direction,
giving us first-claSS shipping facilities
TO every part of our country, with coal
fields as near us as Wichita, factories
and mills will be established on the
strength of competition in rates and
cheap fnel.
Every town in the county on the
lines of the new roads will receive a
new impetus, and the farmers and
stockmen will enjoy the benefits of
numerous markets and a large town
population to feed, giving them good
prices for everything that they raise.
This will be the reward for energy,
activity and progressive ideas, success
fully carried out. All hail to Abilene !
the queen city of the Golden Belt"
Her present population is five thousand
inhabitants, but the near future will re-
cord twenty thousand.

From the above we should Judge that
the Gazette has lost many subscribers
within the past twelve months, in fact,
we know that it has; but, on the other
hand, the words ''every newspaper
man" does not fit our case, for the Re-
FLECToR is prepared to wager two
dollars to the Gazette'S one, in any sum
which itmay name, that the subscrip-

increased during the past months of
