A New Music House.

Abilene is to have another commend
able institution in the new music house
OF Broughton Brothers, who are fitting
up an establishment in Kelley's jewelry
store. Messrs. Broughton have had
five years experience in handling must
cal instruments in Clay Center and
Clifton, Kas., and know how to
give the public fair treatment in
their line. They propose to handle
pianos, organs, violins and indeed
musical instruments of every kind
and at such prices as will discount those
of travelling agents. The fact that
they are located here to stay makes it
safer to purchase of them than of tran
silent travellers. They will also take
orders for tuning and repairing instru-
ments of all descriptions and guarantee
first-clasS workmanship. We are glad
to see the enterprising firm locate in
our midst and wish them abundant
prosperity.

First Ward Election.

The election held Thursday in the
first ward to select councilmen to fill
the unexpired terms of Messrs. Barcus
and Myers, deceased, was of consider
able interest to the people of that ward,
though the fact that the officers elected
only fill out short terms robbed it of
most of its Importance. The Repub-
licans made little or no contest, voting
irrespective of party for their personal
preferences, while the Democrats
worked like beavers for the Cleveland

Obituary.

Died-In Abilene, Aug. 2Sth at tie
family residence, corner Third and
Mulberry streets, Anthony Berry, aged
sc years.
Mr.. Berry, who was one of Abilene's
most highly respected citizens, was
born in County Mayo, Ireland, and
spent his youth in the land of his birth,
As his children grew to manhood they
removed to the ''land of the free" and
when he was left alone he decided that
he too would come here. So four years
ago he moved to Abilene where he has
since made his home. He was
brother of our well known merchants
J. J. and p. J. Berry, and father of
two of our younger merchants, Francis
and 2. A. Berry. He leaves large
circle of friends and relatives to mourn
his decease.
Of the direct family are the widow
and seven children three SONS and
four daughters; of the latter. F.

A DEADLOCK.
The Senatorial Convention Takes 355
Ballots and Adjourns Without Max
ing a Selection of a Candidate
Meet in Clay Center Sept. Sd.

Special to REFLECTOR.
INDUSTRY, Kas., Aug. 29.-The Sen
atorial convention settled down to
steady balloting with little probability
of a choice or change.
Monday night after eating supper the
delegates balloted SO times and then
adjourned. On Tuesday morning until
noon 80 more ballots were taken with
no change in the monOtony of the re-
suit.
A motion was then made and carried
that the candidates be requested to
come before the convention and state
their positions on the U. S. Senator
ship. A committee was appointed to
bring the candidates before the CONVEX
ton.
Senator Hardness and DR.. Hodge
both appeared and spoke briefly, stating
each for himself that he had nothing
but the highest regard fOl both of our
present Senators, ingalls, and Plumb.
A recess was then taken for dinner.
The delegates were in the best OF
humor and each side apparently deter
mined to stay until doomsday to elect
its candidate.
Upon reassembling, the balloting pro-
ceeded throughout the afternoon.
In the evening rousing Republican
meeting was held and was addressed
by w. S. Stambaugh, F. P. darkness
and others.
After the meeting the convention
took five more ballots, making $50 in
all and adjourned to meet in Clay Cen
ter, Sept. Sd. The understanding is
that if no nomination is made at Clay
Center an adjournment will be taken to
Abilene in an attempt to conclude the
contest.
DR.. Hodge and Senator Hardness
are both confident of success and are
holding their respective delegations
solid. The result of the convention is
a good illustration of the folly of put
ting two counties of nearly tie same
size alone in one Senatorial district

We are Informed that some mistakes
have occurred in the delinquent tax
list. 1t is said that several pieces OF
property in Hope are advertised for
sale on which taxes have already been
paid. 1t is quite probable that some
mistakes may occur, but it is the duty
of every one to look over the list and II
there are any lands advertised on which
taxes have been paid, to attend to 1t at
once and save costs.-[Hope Dispatch.
The taxes referred to were paid after
July 10th, on which day the tax list
was made up. No lands upon which
taxes were paid before that time have
been advertised.

BLAINE SURELY COMING.
a Dispatch From J. E. Burton An
nounces That The Maine Statesman
Will Certainly Visit Abilene.

When we stated a few days ago that
Mr.. Blaine might favor Abilene with a
speech during the campaign, it was
with the condition attached that he
would do so if he entered Kansas. Mr..
Burton, ever alive to Abilene's inter-
ests, has at last secured positive as
surance that Abilene will have an OPP
portunity of seeing and hearing the
man who, more than any other, repre-
sents the typical American of ahis
century.
The following telegram received
Tuesday explains itself:
BRUNSWICK, Me-, Aug. 2Sth.
REFLECTOR, Abilene, Kas: Success
at last. Blaine will be in Abilene SURE
in October. Hip, hip, hurrah!
BURTON.
Another telegram corrobOratiDg Mr..
Bnrton's was received this afternoon
from F. n. Dow, a member Of the
Maine Republican central committee
and one of the leading Republicans of
the New England States. The tele-
gram was sent to G.. H. Barker, and
is as follows:
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 2Sth.
Hon. G. II. BARKER, Abilene, Kas:
Burton, who is doing splendid work
here, has been induced to remain by
promise that Blaine will be in Abilene
before November. This has been Sc
cured and Burton remains.
FRED. n. Dow.
Abilene can now prepare for such an
assemblage as was never witnessed in
central Kansas, if indeed in the State.
No man living can draw such a crowd
as Blaine can at this time, and now
that his coming is assured barring I'M
forseen accidents), we must prepare
for an immense throng,

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
A Prominent Citizen of Solomon while
Horseback Riding Meets with
Fatal Accident.

Special to the REFLECTOR.
SOLOMON, Kas., Aug. 24.-Last
evening about sunset Joseph johnson,
a citizen of this city, had occasion to
take two horses from one field to an
other, on the west side of the Solomon
river in Saline county. He jumped
upon one of them, leading the other.
Instead of sitting on his horse in the
usual manner, he sat in "side-saddle"
style, carelessly letting the horses take
their own gait. A strand of barb wire
lay across the path and the horse he
was riding stepped safely over it. The
other animal struck its foot against the
wire and pulled back. Mr.. Johnson
was pulled off his horse and in falling
his side came in contact with a post.
The blow was directly over the heart
and so severe was the stroke that the
man died in few minutes. Two wit
nesses were present and the Saline
county officials deemed coronerS H.
quest unnecessary.
Mr.. johnson was man well thought
CT and highly spoken of in the cOmmu-
nifty. He was about thirty years of
age and leaves wife and family who
are thus bereft of a protector and
father. He was member of the Fire
department.
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon at five o'clock, Rev. Geo.
Merriam, of the Baptist church Officiat-
ing. The Fire department will turn
out in full force to show their respect
to the departed member of the organi-
zation.

Col. l.. l.. PoLK.-Dear Sr:-Our
Alliance is moving on slowly, but [
think on a solid basis. We have sent
Bro. w. A. Graham some money for
the State Agency Fund. Crops are
very near a complete failure-more
especially the necessaries of life. We
all are anxious to see what the Legis-
lature is going to do for the farmers.
We are getting tired of taxing the
whites to educate the blacks. Not only
that, but there is great room for
several changes that would benefit not
only the farmers, but every one else.
One of our Representatives, Bro. Ed
wards, is a good Alliance man, and [
think Bro. Wilson is; if he is not, [
think he ought to be-dont you? [
send you a copy of the resolutions
adopted by our Alliance, No. 526.
Hope you will publish as soon as pos
sible, as we have delayed rather too
long in sending them for publication.
Wishing not only all the Alliance
brethren good luck, but III organ also,
| remain, W. d. HOOKER, Sec'y.

lone but farmers be placed on said
committee-those whose leading in
terest is farming and are actually en-
gagged in agriculture, and hat legisla-
tive committee ask the cooperation of
members of the Farmers Alliance in
said demand, and that we respectfully
ask that the Hon. w. r. Williams be
made chairman of the agricultural
committee in the Senate.
This is a step in the right direction
and the Grange could have gone far
ther with propriety and demanded that
the great agricultural interests of the
State should be represented on the
Judiciary Committee.

suited as follows:
Master, w. r. Williams, reelected;
