An Appropriate New Years Present.

One of the most useful and appropri-
ate New Years presents which you can
make to a friend who lives at a distance
is years subscription to some good
newspaper or magazine. 1t is con-
slant reminder each week, or month, as
the case may be, of the giver, and if a
proper selection is made is worth many
times what it cost. If it be Kansas
publication sent to some of the eastern
states it will not only be read with in
terest by the person to whom it is sent.
but also many others during the course
of the year, and will thus help to adver-
tise the advantages of our state and be
the means of bringing in new and USE
full citizens. If more newspapers were
sent east regularly in place of the over
drawn real estate bulletins and semi
grant guides,'' better returns would un-
doubtedly be secured. A newspaper is
always looked upon as sort of reflex
of the town or community in which it
is published, and good, live, we'll
patronized paper the year around be-
speaks a healthy condition of business
and society. As our citizens here are
made up of those who come from every
section of the country, papers sent to
their relatives or friends would reach
every state in the union and would be
an advertisement to the state that
would pay as such, to say nothing of
the pleasure and benefit to be derived
by those who read them. Already
quite a number of copies of the various
papers published here are being sent
"back east" but many more could be
sent with profit during the coming year.
The REFLECTOR will only cost SI.5O a
year, and better present could not be
made. Try it.

A noted local Kansas tough, Bud or
Jim johnson, has finally reached the
end of his rope. He gained consideIa-
BILE distinction in Abilene and vicinity
a few years ago, with his tough ways
and a swift running mare called ''Sor-
rel Nell" Among his other pleasures,
some three or four years ago, he be-
came involved in serious shooting af-
fray at country lyceum near Abilene,
for which, in company with two partie-
ipants-the Foreman boys-he was
obliged to flee the country. He came
to the South Platte valley, tarried
short time, and then drifted to Wyoming
Territory, where he became noted as
one of the questionable characters of
the hour. A short time ago he was
''diskivered'' with several head of
horses in his possession the property
of peaceful ranchman-and now lies
in Wyoming Jail awaiting trial, al
though it is doubtful whether he will
ever be judicially convicted of the
charge, as report says that Judge Lynch
has powerful hankering" to try the
case on its merits and general princi-
pies. "-At,cood AdUOcdte.

The Washington Register calls John
A. Anderson a Maverick" which it
says means "Texas or Colorado steer
that bears no brand, has no home, fol-
lows no herd, is claimed by no one and
that nobody knows where it came from,
whom it belongs to or where it is going
to-" That may all be so, bnt it should
not be lost sight of that Mr.. Anderson
had wonderful endorsement from the
people in this district in November.

Jim Cummings, the noted express
robber, who rifled safe on the st.
Louis and San Francisco road of S53,-
600 in October last, has finally been
caught by the Pinkerton men, through
his love of writing letters. Even the
greatest rascals have some weak spot,
which, in spite of all their cunning,
brings them to justice. A dishonest
man is either fool or a knave, and in
the case of Cummings, be showed him
self to be both.

way, is in ashes. Not half dozen
HOUSES remain, ont of 800, ard, worst
of al, there is large loss OF lie. I, n
bodies have thus far been recovered,
and a number OF persons are missing

One short hour did the whole work.
Toe property saved is insignificant; a
"clesn s6eep" describes the 81 uston.
A thousand men are at work cleaning
up the debris for the railroad COM
pany. Twenty contracts for rebuild
ing have been already let. Many men
lost their all, but ara determined 10
start in again. The property loss
falls directly on the pioneer
element Of the city. Hundreds of
people are camped out. There are
mesg-r facilities for relief of the suf-
tererS, but the people Of this city are
IS, eel lily open-handed in their efforts
to relieve the distress. Prompt aid
from the Can ,dian Pacific raj road is
exp 3cied. Families were compelled
to abandon their homes at a moments
warning and flee for their lives. Bust
ness men in search Of valuables were
forced to rush through flames and
rmoke or perish. The whole p pulacs
were panic-s rcken. A number of
persons S usht refuge in the water,
One man was found in well, where
he had low red himself 10 escape the
flames. Few Of the people have more

the ten bodies recovered only three

burned frame buildings will be re-
placed with brick structures. Con-

tens,vs bulldogs, representing $780,
