Recaptured.

1t will be remembered by the RE-
FLECToR readers that about eight
months ago young man, William Cum
diff, living northwest of the city was
adjudged insane and taken to the asy-
lum at Topeka The afflicted man has
been very quiet and apparently was on
the road to the complete recovery of his
mind. On this account he has been
allowed unusual privileges about the
asylum add grounds.
A week ago last Wednesday he took
advantage of his liberty and recently
made his escape from the grounds and
started for home He walked all the
way from Topeka, frequent:ng the by
ways and obscure roads, and arrived
here Tuesday night. Word had been
sent here by the asylum authorities to
look out for him and the managers of
the institution were notified of his ar
rival.
The warden came up from Topeka
this morning and with the popular
southside liveryman, George Niles,
drove out to the mans old home where
they found him and brought him to
town. lie was taken by the warden
back to the asylum on the noon train.
1t is sad to see young man so afflicted
and we are glad to know that consider
able Improvement has taken place in
Mr.. Cundiff's condition.

Taken to the ASYLUM.

Superintendent Geo. W. King, Of
the poor farm, returned last evening
from Winfield where he went with the
idiotic son of Martin Hickey and wife
of Chapman. The little fellow is hope
lessly weakminded and it was an act Of
mercy to place him, as Mr.. King did
in the State asylum for such imbeciles
The child will be cared for by the
proper authorities until death comes tx
relieve him of the burden of earthly
existence. Mr.. King deserves mucf
credit for having relieved the county
of such a charge.

Handsomely Gained.

The court house officials learned last
week that Saturday would be mile
stone in the life journey of one of their
most esteemed comrades, Col. E. 81.
Dingee, deputy treasurer. So they de-
cided to celebrate the occasion in q
manner which would impress the genial
Colonel with a sense of their respect fol
him.
Saturday evening he went up town,
going home about eight O'Clock
When he returned he was wonderfully
surprised to find his fellow-workers in
the court house gathered there and
laughing heartily at his establishment
After few minutes spent in converse
tion, Judge w. z. Seeds stepped for
ward and in neat little speech remind
ed Mr.. Dingee that they were aware Of
its being his 64th birthday anniversary
and presented him with an elegant
gold-headed cane as testimonial o.
the friendship and respect felt for hin
by his fellow officials. The Colone
was too much overcome to repl.
promptly but at last thanked then
heartily for the gift.
Afterward bountiful repast wa
spread before the guests and with re
newed wishes for their hosts long Lift
and happiness the visitors departed
Those present were: County Treasure
J.J. Cooper, County Clerk NJ. 81. Bert
District Clerk NJ. V. Brilliant, Probat
Judge w. P. Seeds, Register w. I
Nichols, Sheriff D. w. NALL, Supt. J

A CITY STORE.
A Really Metropolitan Establishment
Located in Abilene-G. C. Stsrl &
Co.'s New Clothing House.

w. . &sSW SASbkk4A6 &4SADOs
Abilene takes more pride in a truly
metropolitan establishment than in
anything that can readily be mentioned.
That she has such in the new store of
G. G. Sterl & Co. is evident to the most
casual observer. Even in approaching
it one is impressed with the feeling Of
respect for the wide-awake proprietor
who has torn down his share of the un-
slightly wooden awnings that disfgure
our streets and replaced it by a neat
canvas one, handsomely lettered by the
skillful brush of j. G. Walker. The
front of the store is painted white,
which might be taken to indicate the
purity of the goods inside.
1t is almost impossible to do justice
to the heaps, piles. bundles, boxes,
bales and shelves of new and handsome
mems furnishing goods that are crowd
ed into his store. G.. G. Sterl never
does things by halves and he has GER
tainly done his best this time. Every
thing that a man can ask for, from the
coarsest of laborers' articles of apparel
to the Prince Alberts and silk tiles of
the man of fashion are found in all
styles, prices and designs. Everything
is new, fresh and stylish. The clothing
does not seem like ready-made goods.
1t FITS like tailor-made articles and no
man need pay fancy price for tailor
made goods when he can be
Just as well suited at Sterl's. His
stock of hats, ties and under
wear is simply perfect and our readers
must look it over for themselves. Suf-
flee it to say that they will find truly
metropolitan emporium of gentlemen's
furnishing goods that cannot fail to
please by the excellence of the material
in stock and the low prices upon every
article displayed.
