Farewell.

On the 28th ult., Philip Krohn sent
a letter addressed to Rev. Joseph Den
niSon, presiding elder of the Methodist
church, in which he withdraws from
the church and ministry which he has
so long diSgraced. In his withdrawal
he stated that he did so because the
church would not give him a speedy
trial, which he very much desired. (?)
Now the fact in the case is, Philip was
afraid of trial, for he KNEW that the
Bishop had the matter in hand and
that the case had been Investigated and
set for hearing on the Goth Of May be-
fore the following committee. Revs.
James Marvin, S. Nc Crone, w. r.
Davis, Geo. l.. Dearborn, C. Holman,
j. r. Simpson, J. r. Madison and VIM.
Friend.
Philip realizing the fact of his guilt,
and knowing that a trial would only
prove to the public that his character
was Gtdcker and more damnable than it
now appears, took advantage of tech
nicality, before the charge reached the
hands of the Bishop, and sent in his
letter as above stated. Notwith-
standing Philips attempt to leave the
church and pulpit as a much abused
and innocent man he is guilty of all
the charges made against him as pub
lished by the REFLECTOR, and the
evidence to that effect can be had at
any time.

Birthday Party.

EDITORS REFLECTOR.-Af few of the
older friends of the Hon. R. NJ. Hewett
accompanied by their pastor, Rev. DR.
McKeehan, met at the pleasant home
of his son DR.. Hewett, in West Abb
lene, on Saturday afternoon, May 1st,
to tender congratulations on the SD an
niverSary of his birth. Among them
were Benz. Crane, aged 10; r. f. Rus
sci, aged sc and wife; L. II. Lifts, aged
66 and wife. 1t was one of those So
cial gatherings that comforts and
cheers the heart along the path of life.
Father Hewett was born in the county
of Herkimer, and state of New York,
on the I'd day of May, 1904, and though
his head is frosted by the storms of
more than four score years, he is well
preserved and bids fair to be remem-
bered among the centenarians, though
his hearing is somewhat defective. His
sight is good, keeps well posted on
passing events, converses freely and in
diligently on all subjects. the writer
being anxious to learn something of
his former habits of life was informed
that at the age of % he signed the
total abstinence pledge, had faithfully
kept it 50 years; has never used tobacco
in any form and has earned his bread
and competence by the sweat of his
brow. So labor does not kill if alcohol |
does. Father Hewett is man of |
strong religious convictions and without |
fear approaches the dark valley and |
shadow of death, leaning on that arm
that is mighty and able to save. At |
O'Clock the party sat down to bounti-
full supper. After the innerman was
satisfied, all returned to the parlor, and
for three hours most enjoyable time
was had in discussing the religious and
political questions of the day. A few
questions were settled without differ
ence of opinion-that it is a good thing
to fear God and keep his command
ments. The thanks of the party are
due to DR.. Hewett, his good wife and
their visiting friend, Miss Ray, for
their kindness and attention.

Ready for the Fight.

"Where is the Democracy Of Kansas?"-Topek,
Capital
Here, there, everywhere. Don't for a momen
delude yourself into the belief that the party Il
dead, or even sleeping. 1t will give you the hard
est tight you ever had this fail. 1t will charp,
all along the line, and the DEVELOPMENTS OF tn,
past year have given It more ammunition than 4
ever had before. You will encounter the solit
and aggressive forces Of the Kansas Democrat,
this fall in every county, township and schoo
district In the State, and before the ballots ri
the November election have been cast. Won,
question VIII be, "where is not the Democracy o,
Kansas9"-Atchison Patriot.
The Democrats of the State can count
on some good work from the Demo-
Gratis of ex-Republican Douglas county
this fall. The old Republican ring in
this county received a stunning blow
last fall and it will be broken into so
many pieces this fall that all the kings
horses and all the kings men can
never put it together again. Never
was the Democratic party of Kansas in
better condition for an aggressive cam
palgn than now. The farmers. the
lab0rlng men and all friends of liberty
and enemies Of monopoly are on the
side of the Democracy, for they know
that that party is their friend and in
its victory is their salvation.
The Democratic party, the party of
the people, will give the Republicans
of Kansas such brisk fight this fall as
they have never known before. The
Gazette assures the Democrats of Kan
sas that they can look for victories in
Douglas county at the coming election.
II every county in Kansas will do as
well as Douglas we shall be content

just now need striking against. Intel

for their G. o. p. editors, and against
the columns of drivel given them on
the labor problem by writers as ignor-
ant of the first principles of the subject
as Jay Gould is of the moral law.

mouths without putting their feet in
them, or learn to keep them Shut

The Knights of Labor are rapidly or
ganizing all over the country, every
town will soon have an organized as
sembly. After the country towns have
organized their assemblies, there is very
little doubt that the movement will
spread to the country itself. In Texas,
the Farmers Alliance became knights
OF Labor in a body. They numbered
10000 members at the time. The
Farmers Alliance of Michigan has
done the same. The order will have a
wonderful growth in this state during
the summer.

There are now fOrty-One convicted

in the penitentiary of this state, who
could be hung any day by order of the
Governor, as the law entirely places
this responsibility upon the executive,

shall be sent to the penitentiary, there
to remain until the governor of the

has gained an absolute and unquestioned
title to Room No. u that man is
Allen G. Thurman. The manner of

The most curious fact in connection
with the question of protective tariff is
that the hostility of the protectionists is
directed chiefly against the foreign
country which is our best customer
Great Britain. Free trade is denounced
as "British free trade" as if the name
Of one of the most enlightened nations
Of the earth were sufficient to condemn
any cause it is attached to; and as if the
less We can have to do with that en-
lightened nation, the better for us. And
yet, when it comes to selling our own
products, we find in that nation our
best customer. OF every 500 worth of
products we send abroad, S54worth, or
more than one-half, goes to Great Brit
ain. She buys more than all other
countries beside.

Gazette Boycotting Knights Of Labor

Last Friday morning the Gazette con-
tanned the following sentence:
Every employer ought to say at
once to his employees that he wants no
Knights of Labor in his shop, and that
if there are any such they must get out
Of the order or out of work"
To fully carry out the above principle
one of the employees in the Gazette Office
was asked by the managerif he intended
to join the K. of L., to which he replied
that he did, so on Saturday morning,
this same emplOye upon going to work
found the following note on his case:
Gazette office, April 30th.
For various reasons L
have decided to dispense with your
services. This is imperative.
w. j. WINFIELD,
Foreman"
This shows conclusively that the
Gazette is not only making war on the
Knights of Labor through its columns,
Out Is practlclng what IL preacheS.
Again this narrow minded sheet says in
speaking of the order.
''There is only one way to deal with
these people. Let them have enforced
idleneSs until they come to their senses"
Further comment upon such edi-
torials and the action taken to not en-
plOy Knights of Labor is unnecessary,
as the REFLECTOR is willing to leave
the above evidence with the public, be-
lieving that a just sentence will be
given at its hands.

They bask In the suns warm shadow.
Pink daisies there be, adown in the lea,
That nod in the waving grasses,
And seem to greet the spring breeze sweet
As over them all she passes.
But of all the daisies, in all the places
Where daisies are wont to be.
The sweetest that grows steps on ten slim
toes,
And she's Daisy enough for me.
The blue of the skies rests in her tender eyes;
She has stofn the peach blossoms bloom,
And the mesh of her hair is as silky and fair
As If woven from an elflin's loom.
Oh. daisies there be on every lea,
That nod and bloom in the sunshine;
But I'd give them all, could only call
This dearest and daintiest one minel

found that their daughter Annie, aged
15 years, bad been shot dead by Isidore

cause is assigned for the tragedy.
Benjam' n Cooper, young man, was
yesterday found dead in the woods neal
