The Official Vote.

We give today the official count of
he vote of Dickinson county. II will
be seen that the majorities are band
some ones, being larger than were ever
before known in the county. The total
vote of the county is 5000. an in
crease of nearly 500 over four years
ago. The Republican candidates, with
one exception, had pluralities OF about
1000. MIR. Seeds ran nearly 1000
votes ahead of his ticket and was only
defeated by Is votes.
The Union Labor vote surprised
every o iy. The leaders of the party
bad made such loud boasts of their
that many actually believed
heir claims. The vote of the party in
Ciis county was variously estimated at
from 200 to i 500. The true figures
are however, as will be seen, 473- a
gain of exactly 100 over the Greenback
vote of 1884.
The pronibitiOnists gained 120
votes over 1854, but as their vote then
was only thirty-six they have much
more reason to be elated. The table is
correct with the exception that Kirby
80 scattering votes for COM
missioner not therein reported.
The result of the election emphasizes
what the REFLECTOR has prrsistently
lrged-the desirability Of Republican
unity. By presenting united front to
he enemy. as was done this year,
Dickinson county is ours by clean
majority of 1000 for every name on
ne ticket. Let Republicans remember
his in the future.

Emigrant travel on the L. p. is as
heavy as ever. 1t is a wonder where
the people are bound for.
A large amount of coal from south
eastern Kansas and Colorado is being
shipped in over the Santa Fe.
The passenger traffic is much lighter
than during the early fall. The visi-
tors to the East are nearly all home.
w. N. Hendricks presides over the
Union Pacific destinies with so much
success that he is likely to grow aged
in the service.
A new sleeper over the U. p. carries
passengers to St. Louis without change.
1t goes by way of the Wabash from
Kansas City.
The racing between Salina and Abb
lene on the three parallel roads is
never failing source of amusement for
the overwoked trainmen.
Mr., O. p. Liston, the new Rock Is
land agent, is conducting the duties of
his Office in a business-like and genial
manner that is winning him hosts of
friends.
j. c. Lyeth looks closely after the
comfort of the passengers at the Santa
Fe depot. He has spared no personal
efforts to make the company's custom
large one.
The U. P. has just put on sleeping
car which runs through from Abilene
to Chicago via the G. & A. without
change. This will be a great advan-
tage to eastern travellers.
The Rock Island will have a new

at all unlikely.

A Field for Investigators.

It was stated thirty years ago that an
ordinary battery would impart to q per-
feet electric motor only one horse
power of energy from consumption
Of two pounds Of zinc per hour, while
q good steam engine would give an
equal power from two pounds per hour
of the much cheaper coal. Prof. Ayrton
now asserts, however, that zinc batter
les may yet be made an important and
economical source of mechanical energy,
and that they may furnish solution of
the problem of converting the energy
of coal into electric energy without the
wasteful steam engine. Before this can
be accomplished it will be necessary to
find process of unburning the oxi7
died zinc at n cost comparable with
the cost of an equal weight of coal, SO
that the metal may be cheaply used
