These EXPLANATIONS were drawn from the

window of an uptown club house the other
day. when they saw an unusually fine look
ing young girl passing the club house win
dows.
The girl did walk like grenadier. Her
shoulders were square. She carried what
resembled short riding whip, her cheeks
glowed and her eyes sparkled as she swung
no the avenue with long, easy stride
until she was lost to sight to the young
men in the club house window. Then they

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
LITTLE MARY CECILIA BRUNOLD

Has just been cured OF the worst Ecze-
ma ever seen by the doctors who
treated her. From head to feet a
mass of diseased skin. Several physi-
clans, a medical college, and all rene
dies fail. Cured by Cuticura Rene
dies.
MY little daughter, Mary Cecilia Brunold, was
afflicted with the worst case of eczema ever seen
by the doctors who treated her. She was liter
ally covered from head to foot with scabs.
These physicians tried their best to cure her,
but l believe they were only experimenting.
They kept on experimenting for over ten
months, but, instead of getting better, the child
got worse and did not know what course to
pursue. My wife took her. after we had paid
all we could afford for medical treatment, to
medical college where there were some twenty
or thirty doctors assembled, but the case baf-
fed them all. My wife had to go every day,
and sometimes twice day. In fact the medi-
cine they gave my child did not have time to
act, even il there was any virtue in it, it was
changed 80 often by orders of the doctors. The
latter part of January, after everything had
failed, and patience and money were both eX
hausted, | made up my mind to quit all doctor
ing and try the CUTTCuRA REMEDIES / did So
and now can say that my daughter is cured
sound in health, and well, to the surprise of
hundreds.
The druggist, Mr.. II. NJ. Kruger, corner Chau-
teau and Ewing avenues, who sold us the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, is as much astonished as any OF
u.s. The CUTICURA REMEDIES have worked a
complete cure, and We have used but little
more than three-fourths of bottle of CuTIcURA
REsoLvENT, and a proportonate amount of
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP | am ready at
any time to make affidavit that my daughter
had the worst case OF eczema, as the doctors all
admit, ever seen in This city. and that she had
been cured solely by the CUTIcURA REMEDIES,
after the best physicians aud remedies failed
shall be glad TO have any one call upon or write
me who has child similarly afflicted or any per-
son who is troubled with a skin disease, that he
NAV see for himself what yonr CUTICURA RENE
DIES have done. | do this in gratitude for the
cure tnat has been effected in my child's case

Volume Six.

With today's issue the Weekly RE-
FLECToR enters upon volume six.
During the five years that it has dis
pensed wisdom, morality, information
and comment to the citizens of central
Kansas it has never seen so prosperous
q period in its career as now. Since its
purchase by the REFLECTOR Publish
ing Company in February last 1t has
steadily increased its circulation and
influence until it stands today the lead
ing paper of Dickinson county.
1t Is staunchly Republican in politics
and believes in no halfway measures.
1t always advocates the cause of the
bestmen, the best parties and The best
principles. 1t has no sympathy with
croakers, but has an abiding faith in
the county and city in which it is 10
Gated. 1t is a newspaper in the best
and highest sense of the word.
Being the official paper of both county
ard city its words are more widely
quoted and carry more weight than the
utterances of any other journal in
Dickinson county.
Through the volume upon which we
are just entering as well as through
the one just completed, we will be
found in both daily and weekly editions
working first, for the best interests of
the REFLECTOR and its readers; second,
for Abilene; third, for Dickinson
county; fourth, for Kansas, and all
the time for the success of the Repub.
lican party and its principles.

The Candidates.

This week will see the end of the
contest for places on the Republican
county ticket, and will decide who are
to fill county offices for the next
two years. 1t is imperative that every
man both at the primaries and at the
convention on Saturday (if he should
be delegate) cast intelligently and
carefully his vote. While every man
aspiring to position on the ticket is
worthy of confidence, we want in every
case the BEST man among the candi-
dates. The grand old Republican par
ty, the party of Lincoln, Grant, Blaine
and Harrison, cannot afford to take
less. We want men who will serve the
public interests as though they were
their own, men of tried honesty, album
dant capability, and men in whom the
fullest trust can safely be placed.
That such men will be selected at the
primaries and at the convention we
do not doubt; and when the cOnven-
ton has made its choice, it will be the
duty of every Republican in Dickinson
county to devote his best energies for
the success of the Republican ticket.
The REFLECTOR has impartially
commended the various aspirants for
denominations. All cannot be Sc
lected, but whoever are so fortunate,
we will be found on their side ready to
work twenty-four hours day for their
success at the November election.
Since we so strongly believe that the
ticket selected on Saturday will be
elected, we urge careful, thoughtful
and in telligent preliminary work.

blaine For Abilene.

The Importance of procuring Mr..
Blaine to stop over in Abilene cannot
be too highly appreciated by our citi-
zens. From business point of view
it will be the greatest advertisement
our city could have. The presence of
so distinguished gentleman as Mr..
Blaine, whose name is in the mouth of
every man ON two continents, will at
tract the attention of the nation for the
time being to Abilene. Abilene will be
named in every newspaper from Maine
to California as the only city in Kansas
which Mr. Blaine favored with an adj
