k8EThe address of Hon. J. R. Burton
at AsSaria on the Fourth of July is
highly spoken of by the state press.
His remarks were both interesting and
along original lines and made some
thing of a sensation by its bold criti-
,cism of the cause of Kansas senators
IN the HalStead and other matters.
ESThe REFLECTOR is indebted to
Mr.. Jesse n. Engle, of Hayes town
ship, for its excellent reports of the
doings of the normal institute, the
best reports that have been given in
any paper in the county. Mr.. Engle is
one of DickinSon's rising teachers and
his work shows that he can handle a
faber as well as ferule.
1RThe latest news from Bessev is
that he was seen in Omaha last week
by printer who formerly worked in
Abilene, and who sent word here to that
effect. The officers were, however, as
on previous occasions, unable to catch
the rascal. The indications are that
Bessey, like many another scoundrel.
Will hang himself if given rope enough.
BEThat public-spirited rustler, W.
S. Badger, has been taking an interest
in improving the approach to the driy-
ing park and has raised good sum by
subscription for that purpose. The
bridge is to be raised several feet and
the hill cut down so that there viii be
little or no danger in driving through.
Everyone who enjoys drive cut to
the park should assist in the work.
