A Despicable Theft.

County Treasurer Cooper, upon his
return from Topeka yesterday, received
a most unwelcOme surprise. He had
on Saturday set out about fftT choice
pear trees. a dozen cherry trees and
two hundred apple trees, on his farm
northwest of the city. All this week
he had been away from home, and
when he returned he found that in his
absence some low-minded villain had
pulled the whole orchard, except about
about half the apple trees, from the
ground and departed forparts unknown.
To say that John J. was angry is put
ting it very mildly. All his hopes of
bountiful bushels of fruit were shat
tered at blow. The tree-planting ad-
vocates must have been urging their
their case a little too strongly. 1t
seems strange that any human being
can stoop to such meanness. We pity
the thief if he is caught, as he will be,
if a fifty dollar reward will assist any.

Funeral of Mrs. J. r. Madison.

Tn" Methodist church was filled to
oYerllowing this morning by the con-
gregatiOn gathered to show the last
tributes of respect to the memory of
Mrs. j. r. Madison. The church was
tastefullY and appropriately decorated
with flowers for the occasion and a
large cross of white immortelles lay up
on the coffin.
The principal address was delivered
by Rev. Embry, of Manhattan, who
spoke tenderly and trustfully of the
deceased, pointing to her noble Christ
ian character as ore which all might
safely look to and strive to attain.
Though we are saddened by our loss it
is comfort to know that she is where
suffering is no more. He was followed
by Rev. j. l.. Mckeehan and Rev. w.
II. Zimmerman, who spoke brief but
.cOnsoling words to the sorrowing
friends.
The interment was made in the Abb
lene cemetery, whence long process
sion slowly followed the remains.

A Possible Bon anZa.

On the farm of Samuel Bricker
northeast of the city, has been discov-
cred vein of calcareous rock, reddish
brown in color, which promises to be
of great value to Abilene. No atten-
tion has been paid to it until the loca-
ton of the Pottery works here induced
some gentlemen versed in pottery max
ing to examine it. They pronounce it
a valuable material for the making
and coloring of pottery and it may
prove pure enough to make good ar
ticle of red paint. A careful analysis
will be necessary before this can be de-
termined.
TIE vein is from fur to six feet
thick and indefinite in extent: so that
if the proposed uses can be made of it
Mr.. Bricker has a rich find Oh his
hands.

A Social Event.

Yesterday afternoon occurred one of
the pleasantest social events CT the
season, at the residence of Mrs. o. L.
Moore, on West Third street. Mrs.
w. P. Seeds, Mrs. Charles Newhall
and Mrs. o. l.. Moore, gave an After
noon Tea" to about seventy lady
guests.
To say that the reception was ele-
giant and enjoyable would be only stat
ing what everyone knows must have
been the case. Dainty but substaE-
tial refreshments were served early in
the evening. Music, vocal and instru-
mental, helped to pass the time away
until the departure of the guests.
This afternoon the hostesses give
another reception to as many more of
their friends, thus entertaining larger
number than could be done in one re-
ception..

Communicated.

EDITOR RKFLECTOR-An article in
last Saturdays Gazette seems to reflect
on the motive of the soldier of the late
war in taking up arms, and seems to
be kind of covert attempt to put the
old veteran in bad odor with the pub
lie. When one is in doubt whether the
soldier fought for principle or for
MONEY, he entertains the thought that
his motive might have been a very low
one, and this is 1.-The unkindest cut of
ALL. To doubt ones honesty is to &C
cuse him of dishonesty, and herein lies
fearful libel upon the patriotism of
the grandest body of men of this or
any other age. You may, in fact, you
you must, judge of mans motive by
his deeds, his sacrifices and his forti-
tude in time of defeat. What wonder
full pecuniary inducement was there in
soldiers pay-Sl3 per month in de-
preciated currency-to make a man go
South to be shot at by the T. T. VS.,
to be starved in Andersonville by the
heathens, or poisoned in New Orleans
by the (S)heathens, to say nothing of
the other items of toll, danger, sick
ness. hard-tack, etc, and of leaving
family at home to suffer by his absence.
To doubt for moment that the thOuG-
ands of names of men who died for our
country are imperishable shows de-
gree of obtuSeneSs that one is not pre-
pared to find even in Democratic
daily. There is no doubt an adequate
compensation for duty done in the con-
seriousness of having performed well
their part" (God save the markl) but
that will not keep disabled soldier
warm when coal is 81 ton and the
mercury % degrees below zero, nor buy
him cork leg to, in a manner, supply
the place of the robust one he left on
the battlefield.
No! That ungrateful soul, who
would question the patriotism of the
soldiers who saved this Nation from
the worst rebellion the world ever
knew would question the virtue of the
mother who bore him and by her labor
and tender regard tried to make man
of him. 1t is enough for him to know
that that woman is his mother to COM
mand his hearts best affection, and it
is enough for this Gazette man to know
tudl LILO SOlQlOl oohCu Wills COuuli1 duO
made it possible for him to write
"About Pensions to cause him to
take off his 81 hat in deepest reverence
to that same old veteran without stop
ping to ask about his motive" AS
though one could be paid i'm dollars and
cents for risking his life. All the
''clamor" comes from just such ''me-
tive" talks as this. If rebels were all
dead, there would be no more clamor-
the needy soldier would have been pen
stoned long ago. "We do not believe
they fought for base and mercenary
ends" Believed Don't you know
that they planted our flag in heaven
and whipped all hell to do it. And
now after that flag has fioated twenty
five years to the glory of God and the
administration of the nations. 1--WE
are prepared to do them the honor to be.

principle"

Another Murderer.

Sheriff NALL arrived in the city this
morning with Tom Morgan accused of
the murder of John Goul near the
Marion county line last fall.
1t will be remembered that Morgan
was captured in Kentucky and brought
back here and then turned States evil
dence against one Shaner. Shaner
proved an alibi and now Morgan will
be tried for the deed. In the course of
Shaner's trial, it transpired that the
murder was committed on this side the
county line. So Morgan will be tried
at the next term of the Dickinson
county District Court. The prisoner
will be kept here until his trial.
