TO FLY The FLAG.
subscriptions for the School Flags
Coming in Rapidly.

The pupils of the city schools have
taken an active interest in the fund
for United States flags to be placed
over the school buildings of the city.
The cause is d noble one ard one
which none will regret working for.
With the beautiful stars and stripes
flying over our school houses, Abilene's
schools will inculcate patriotism with
success never before attained.
The schools have taken individual
contributions of few cents each from
the pupils and the amounts raised are
quite large in the aggregate. Outside
subscriptions will now be taken. The
mattsr is one in which the REFLECTOR
is particularly interested i'll the matter
because it was the originator of the
movement SO far as Abilene is con-
cerned.
The amounts up to date are as fol-
lows, the teachers name Indicating the

a series of meetings, conducted by
Rev. s. E. Belts, were commenced here
Monday evening. Rev. Madison, the

be hoped that these meetings will be
productive of much good.
A few days ago one of our citizens
thought he would infict some John L.

County High School Notes

CHAPMAN, Kas., Oct. 24.-[Special
correspondence Miss Mella McCurdy
to the regret of all her friends, has been
compelled to drop her studies for a
time. She hopes to be back in school
as soon as her health will permit.
The Garfield Literary society debated
the question, Resolved, That immi-
grafton to the United States should be
prohibited at its last meeting. AS il
was decided in the affirmative no doubt
the matter will receive the early atten-
ton of congress.
Nearly thirty of the high school stu
dents are taking the Normal course
THIS department bids fair 10 be the
most popular, and in direct benefit to
the county, the most important of all
the courses. Everything will be done
to render the work in this course as
practical and profitable as possible.
Prin. S. NJ. Cook and Messrs. Poor,
Kimmerly aud Hanson were high school
representatives at the southeast Dick
lnsOn county institute. They report u
delightful time. They were especially
pleased with the generous welcome OF
The people Of Enterprise.
The members of the literary society,
recognizing the fact that Supt. j. 5.
Ford has done more than any other per-
son to open the county high school and
thus make possible their organization,
have elected that gentleman to honor
AIRY membership i'll the society. Mr..
Ford in a neat letter has acknowledged
the compliment and given to the soci-
ETY. many expressions of his interest in
its work. The teachers of Kansas and
every friend Of education III the state
should be profoundly grateful that
among our officers we have a county
uperintendeTt who dev0teS his time TO
lie interests Of the country schools.

county superintendent is alive 20 hia
du;y il is possible fer him to ;.tcum-
piish much in unifying and Sy StematiZ-
ing The work of the schools. Every
teacher III Dickinson county knows
how Supt. Ford has aided him in the
past, and now by providing a graded
course of study and putting it gratu-
itously into the schools, he has done
still more to make the work OF grading
easy and effective. If the teachers do
their part. and they will, the schools Of
Dickinson county will be second to
none in the state.

Abilene near the old Henry farm house
where another hole will be bored in the
ground until the remainder of the gas

been put up and work will commence

About thirty members attended the
meeting of the county Alliance in the

CENTRAL KANSAS KING.
THE CAsE-BIsHOP STORE OPFN
ING.
The Most Comprehensive Mercantile
Establishment in Central Kansas
Formally Opened Throngs Of Wis
itors In Attendsnce-The Store In
'Detail-Its Employees.

The city talked of little else today
than the opening of the mammoth con-
solidated store of ]. B. Cose and A. E.
Bishop, corner of Broadway and Third
street. This immense establishment.
the largest by far in central Kansas, is
one of the mercantile firms of which
Abilene is proud.
For years J. B. Case has been one of
Abilene's leading merchants, beginning
business back in the 7O's on Southside
and about 1880 moving into the double
store on A street. MIR. A. E. Bishop
was for years his bookkeeper but finally
opened dry goods store on Broadway
which has increased in size with the
development of the city until it was do
ing nearly if not quite the largest bust
ness in TIE city.
This spring the two merchants con-
cluded to consolidate their stock and
make one of the largest stores in Kan
sas and the west. Three stores were
purchased and carpenters put to work
in fitting them up, over $4,000 being
spent in the work of re6tting. For
months Faul & Jacobs. the contractors,
have had their entire force busy there
on And the result is the most perfectly
appointed store in central Kansas and
one surpassed by none in the state.
THE GREAT OPENING.
Today was advertised as the formal
opening of the establishment and it
was attended by a crowd of ladies and
gentlemen from the city and the sur
rounding towns that almost OvertaXed
the ability of the proprietOrs and the
large force of clerks to entertain and
show about the rooms. Three floors
are occupied by the firms goods, and
every one is loaded with a new and
complete stock of everything that goes
to make upa successful and perfect dry
goods and grocery establishment. Over
$50, 600 worth of new goods were spread
out for the inspection of the public and
a dazzling display it was.
The visitors were the elite of the city
and as the elegantly dressed tiIrong
poured through the rooms it was evil
dent that they appreciated the location
CT metropolitan house i'll this city.
DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT.
Occupying the northeast corner of
tie ground floor, two large store rooms
thrown together, is the dry goods de-
partmelt. 1t has complete stock Of
everything, from pins to elegant silks.
The goods ara arranged in par&lleiio-
grams arched with lace curtains and
In one corner d fine Italian

mer and is located Immediately in the
rear of The dry goods room. Here
everything in the shoe line is found,
ladies' fine shoes specially, The ar
engagements are very fine 10 one can
fail to find just what they want.
GROCERY DEPARTMENT.
In the grocery department which is
also OH the same floor the REFLECTOR
representative found Mr.. TheO. Nusz
in charge, assisted by j. S. Shiyeley,
Clinton Golden and Clarence Funk.
The gentlemen were busily engaged
placing some of the later arrivals of
the immense grocery stock. The store
is furnished with oak. walnut shelving,
counters. etc., and is veritable beauty
in its line, as indeed is the entire store
which is finished in natural woods with
handsomely papered ceilings.
In the rear of the grocery depart
ment is a large freight elevator which
connects the three floors of the build
ing.
THE OFFICE.
On this floor is the oak finished
private Office where Miss Mildred
Lewis, bOOkkeeper and stenOgrapher,
sits, being in close connection
with all parts of the establishment by
Chapman's cash railway system.
Messrs. Bishop and Case also have
their Office here.
MILLINERY DEPARTMENT.
Up flight of stairs we find the mil
linery rooms presided over by Miss
Emma Stevens assisted by Misses
Anna Berry, Maude Denote and
Daisy Robb. We hardly feel capable
of discussing this department but from
the bewildering display of hats shown
and the absorbing interest taken in
them by the ladies we judged that the
department must be complete. This
will be one of the chief specialties of
the firm and all ladies can be sure Of
finding as fine goods as any city store
can show.
THE DRESSNAKING DEPARTMENT.
Further along is large room occu-
