Dr.. Mex eehan Resigns.

Rev. DR.. J. L. McKeehan, who has
so ably presided over the Presbyterian
church as pastor during the past four
years, has sent in his resignation. The
church has accepted it though DR.. Nc
Keehan has not yet been notified, he
being at present in New York City.
The cause of the gentleman's action is
throat troubles, which will probably
retire him from the rostrum and pulpit.
We, in common with his hundreds
of friends here, regret this action. DR..
McKeehan has proved himself faith
full pastor and perfect christian gen.
tleman. His work in Abilene has
resulted in the upbuilding of the cause
of Christ and has been characterized
by a whOle-sOuled earnestness and
faithful performance of duty that has
made DR.. McKeehan loved and re-
spected not alone by his own congrega-
ton but the people of the entire city as
we'll. We wish him health and abun-
dant success wherever his lot may be

Another Jointest Pulled.

Marshal Powell has another laurel
added to his rapidly frightening list.
Saturday morning occurred the trial of
David Town, a Southside jointest whom
Mr.. Powell had captured. The express
company's books traced large amount
of liquor to Town, who held forth in
conjunction with the man Gordon. and
in this case as in Gordon's, the mar
shal's correctness of suspicion was cas-
lily proven. The trial was held before
Judge Dewey, and Town got $15.75
and 80 days in the bastile where he
now makes his headquarters.
Marshal Powell is proving himself
the right man in the right place.
His untiring investigation and prose-
cution of sellers of liquor stamps him
as friend of justice and sobriety of
whom Abilene should be proud.

Some Fine Stock

W. G. Cowles, of the Kansas Farm
Mortgage company, returned this
morning bringing with him two of the
finest stations ever seen in Kansas, OF
indeed west of the Mississippi.
One is a French coach horse, bred in
the French government stables and
imported in July, 1883. He is cross
between the Arabian stock and the
English thoroughbred, dark bay, three
years old, sixteen hands high and of
elegant style and action. suited per-
fectly to his purpose-general purpose
roadster. He is the first horse of the
kind ever brought into this part of the
State and will attract wide attention.
The other is black Norman thor
oughbred, two years old, about fifteen
hands high and superb animal with
wonderful promise of future develop
ment.
The horses were purchased of W. L.
Ellwood, DeKalb Illinois, and are among
best stock Of that of that Justly famed
horse farm.
Mr.. Cowles is doing Dickinson county
much good in importing such animals.
1t is in stock raising that this part of
Kansas will find its surest prosperity
and anything that aids in this direc-
ton is a benefit to our people.
The horses are now at Mr.. Gowles'
stables in Fairview but will be exhib-
tied on the streets next week so that
all lovers of perfect horse flesh may see
and admire them.

A Change in Managership,

The theater-going public, and indeed
all others, will be interested in learning
of the change which has just been
made in the managership of the Bone
brake opera house.
Mr.. r. NJ. White, who for five years
has ably and satisfactorily filled the
position, is succeeded by Howard E.
Bonebrake.
Mr.. White has made hosts of friends,
not only among theater-goers, but
among the dramatic profession, by his
gentlemanly and business-like manage
ment of the opera house, and good
judgment in the selection of troupes.
He has, by his careful catering to the
public's taste made Abilene rank
among the first theatrical cities of the
State, and given us some of the best
attractions in the West. In resigning
the position he only does so because of
the press of other business matters
which demand his time.
MIR. Bopebrake, who succeeds him,
is q young man of push and energy and
viii keep up the alreacy high standing
of the opera house. We congratulate
him upon his accession to the position.

A Lost 0vercoat.

Frank Ball went last week to Illinois
to bring back the horses belonging tc
w. G. Cowles. Of course he wanted
to impress the people along the route
with Abilene's greatness and 30 in
vested, before going, in one of those
magnificent fur -collared $3.50 over
coats of Sterl's.
That the people were impressed can
not he disputed, indeed there seems to
have been awakened wild and I'M
governable desire to possess the hand
some garment. At least when going
through an Iowa city Frank left the
car and sauntered aronnd the depot
yards for little exercise the coat was
distracted from the car and Frank is
just $3.50 out. He Is undecided
whether to buy another or have his
linen duster lined with sheepskin and
use it for an ulster.

inson Stricken by Apoplexy-Hope
Notes.
Special to REFLECTOR.
Hope, KAs., Nov. 29-The startling
information was received here this
morning of the strange death of one of
south Dickinson's most prominent cit
liens, Col. A. S. Jarnigan.
Mr.. Jarnigan has been living alone
on his farm south of Dillon. This
morning neighbor going by went into
the yard to see him and found the
house deserted. Proceeding to the
stable the dead body of Mr.. Jarnigan
was found near the stable door,
stretched upon the ground. 1t was
dressed as usual and in the overcoat
pocket was found the dead mans Tues
day evening mail. He had probably
returned from the pOstOfice at Dillon,
put out his horse and started for the
house when he was Frustrated. The
indications are that he died of apoplexy.
A considerable sum of money was
found in his pockets, conclusive
evidence that there had been
No foul play. He had lain in the place
where found at least forty-eight hours.
Col. Jarnigah was one of the Oldest
settlers of Dickinson county and was
the 'father" of Dillon. He had long
been a prominent figure in business
and political life and his loss will be
sorely felt. Large numbers of people
visited the scene of the death today.
The Hope G.. A. r. begins this even
ing three nights rendition of the pop.
ular "Blue and Gray" 1t is sure to be
success.
Mrs. W. P. Robinson leaves next
week for visit to friends in Illinois
and Wisconsin.
A delegation of Nebraska capitalists
is in town looking up the creamery
project. A reorganization of the
creamery company is probable.
DR.. Ketchersid and E. L. Martin art
among the prominent citizens who have
gone to Colorado to enjoy the benefits
of the mountain air and the cheap ex
curslOn rates.

Winger Winged.

An interesting police court case oc-
cupied the attention of his honor Fri
day morning. Marshal Powell coralled a
certain Benjamin Winger, who had in
dulged too freel, in the material which
not only cheers but inebrlates. On the
way jailward, however, Winger made
break for liberty and being much
stronger than the marshal escaped.
This morning the officer, armed with a
new warrant, attacked the enemy in
Shockey & Snider's store. The man,
after a tussle or two, locked himself in
room and it was only after consider
able hard work that he was captured.
At last he was escorted to the police
court and given a dose of 1854 as a
sedative to quiet his nerves after his
hilarious Thanksgiving spree.

bert has long been leader in the do
ings of his vicinity and leaves a

loving husband. He was aged about
As years and came to Kansas several
years ago. He had large farm and

Taken Home.

Thursday about six o'clock Alphon-
sus, the nine year old son of John and
Mary Sullivan, left this world for a
better one beyond. The child had

his gentle nature has left record OF
dutiful devotion behind that it will be
a pleasure to remember.
The funeral services were held at 4

A large invoice of new books, nearly
800 in all, were received today for the

recent extensive purchase. Among
the books which have been carefully

fine an opportunity for its children to
become acquainted with good literature.
