The Elko Water Company.

The new Water Company will soon
commence laying mains through the
town, and they desire to know the
pleasure of the property owners on
the following proposition:
The Company propose to build q
reservoir at the crossing of the ditch
by the road that leads to Kittridge
canyon; to lay finch pipe from that
point to Lloyd Buffers stable; to lay
street mains on Commercial and Rail
road streets of 4-inch pipe, and on
Idaho and Court streets of 3-inch
pipe; to put in twenty, or more, by
drants at such points along the pipe
line as may be selected by q Commit
tee; to furnish water Summer and
Winter from the ditch, or when that
is impracticable from hreakage or
accident of any kind, from pumping
engine. Total fall from the reservoir
to the foot of the flag pole, as as
certained by survey, 81 feet.
For this service the Company asks
that the town pay the sum of $500
annually, and a Committee OF five,
consisting Of +. F. Muller, j. Hender-
son, v. G. Bartlett, James Clark and
A. w. Hesson, has been appointed to
ascertain the sentiment of the people
on this proposition. The Company
is DESTROYS to ascertain the feeling Of
the taxpayers as soon as possible, for
unless this proposition is accepted
the public hydrants, for the protection
OF property in case Of fire, will not be
put in,

lect to attend the practice meeting at

A lively runaway occurred this
morning, though fortunately without
damage. A two-horse team belong
ing to an italian took fright at the
incoming train and let town in a
hurry in the direction of the Hot
Springs. Jimmie Rnssell headed
them off just before they reached the
lower bridge and they were returned
to town in good order.
Because man is an infidel it does
not necessarily follow that he is dis
honest. Some of the noblest men
that ever lived were infidels, while on
the contrary some Of the most COM
plete scoundrels that ever cursed the
face Of the earth were firm believers
in the doctrines of Christianity. Mans
actions, not his belief, makes the
man. An infidel may be, and often
is, good man; while believer in
Christianity may be, and often is, a
very bad man.
A large excursion party passed

vided and the manner in which it

tains it's reputation for being one Of

Death Of q. H. w. Crockett.

A dispatch was received here from
Austin last Saturday announcing the
death of g. II. w. Crockett, formerly
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s agent at Tusca-
rora. The Times-R Review says:
Deceased was a native Of Maine
and about 65 years Of age. He came
to the Pacific Coast in 1850, and with
the exception Of a few years, has
since that time been engaged in the
express business. He was with
Freeman & Co. in the early fifties,
and when that concern sold out TO
Wells, Fargo & Co. he entered the
employ of the latter firm and re-
NAMED with it continuously up to a
few days preceding his death. He
was express agent at Austin from 1864
until last April, when he came to
take charge of the office here. He
leaves wife and several children.
He was o member OF the Austin Ma
sonic lodge, and his funeral will
doubtless be conducted under the
auspices Of the fraternity" =.

Reflector Supplement.
MADE AN ASSIGNMENT,
LEBOLD AND FISHER ASSIGN TO
C. T. MEAD.
No Business Transacted and No Ad-
mission to the Bank-New England
Creditors Said to Have Forced tho
Action.

Considerable excitement was caused
about 3 o'clock this afternoon by the
news that Lebold s. Fisher had made
an assignment. The REFLECTOR
found the report to be well founded
and the fact was stated upon call at
the bank. No details could be secured
but it is said that New England cred
itors began legal proceedings and the
firm was compelled to make the assign
ment in order to protect themselves and
the other creditors.
Over 500, 900 worth, perhaps nearer
$3.50, 600, of creditors claims have been
settled individually since Monday
morning and it is probable that as the
real estate owned by the firm is very
extensive all might have been satisfied.
The assignment, however, puts a
stop to all proceedings of that nature
and makes it extremely doubtful if the
bank will ever open up for business.
Mr.. c. F. Mead, the assignee. abso-
lutely refuses to be interviewed, and
no one but employees and the attorneys
are admitted to the bank rooms.
The proceeds secured By creditors will
depend upon the prices brought by the
banks property.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Some Treats Which Abilene Will
Have This Season.


1t seems as though Abilene will sure
" have very pleasant theatrical sea-
son with such attractions as are now
booked for dates in the next few
months. Among them are John Dillon,
the famous comedian in WANTED, the
EARTH zone of the Finest" "a
Bunch of Keys" Gan American Prin-
cess" W. @. Coup's "Equesquericu-
lum,n ga Noble Outcast, Hilarity,"
Drawing the World" Sentenced for
Life" and many others.
With such list of first-class attrac-
tons surely the most metropolitan
taste must be satisfied. The people of
Abilene no longer need CRY for stars for
we are going to have some of the very
finest, and it is 10 be hoped that Abb
lene people will avail themselves Of
their splendid opportunities and give
each attraction the liberal patronage it
deserves.
Everybody has heard of John Dillon,
for no greater comedian lives, and peo-
pie here must realize that it is exceed
ingly rare that such an attraction can
be seen outside of the large cities.

s400, OOO W0RTHoF REAL ESTATE
SOLD.
Abilene Property Changes Hands in
Huge Chunks Opera House, Wa
ties Works Plant and Post Office
Block Sold.

There was closed last nj one Of
the largest real estate deals yyer known
in the history of the county, it being
no less than the sale of nearly $500, 900
worth of Abilene property.
The property sold is the Opera house
block on Second street valued at $50,
900, the water works and electric light
plant valued at $500, 900, and the post
Office block valued at $50, 900 making
total of sSSO,O0O. The property was
owned by ]. E. Bonebrake, of this city,
who has been the ereetor of the build
logs and one Of the earliest residents of
the city.
The new owners are Messrs. E. L.
Gage, of Decatur, Texas, and Peter
Bell, Lawrence, Kas. They turn in
100, 900 acres of land in exchange for
the property. The land is raw prairie
situated in central Texas and is valued
at 81 per acre,
The deal was made through J. Fl.
Brady & Co.'s land agency and is a
rich thing for the firm. There will be-
for the present no noticeable change in
affairs as Mr.. Bonebrake will retain his
management of the local property for
while. Though the Texas land is en-
tirely unincumbered Mr.. b. will not
leave the city but will remain here
where he yet has much larger interests
than he has disposed of.
The exchange of so much real estate
shows confidence in Abilene by outside
parties and there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will not be disappointed.

"a Deluded Farmer. T"

EDITOR OF THE REFLECTOR: My
attention has been called to the above
entitled editorial from the JeffersOnian,
an anarchist, socialistic, free love, free
whisky, free trade, democratic paper
published in Topeka by one Wakefield
in reply to my article on tariff on wool
in a recent number of the REFLECTOR
It is fair sample of democratic argu-
ment against protection.
The learned gentleman inadvertently
states truth, viz: That there is abOr t
one sheep to each family in the st, lie.
That is just where the dispute ~ ises,
five years since there were greater
number of sheep in Kansas tina, inhab-
itants and the number has d. minished
more than eight hundred. thousand.
What has caused this wt,nderful di-
intuition in numbers al. valueP Will
some democratic STATESMAN arise and
explain2 ..aii
/ wish briefly to call attention to the
remarkable ma.nner in which this
statesman maDipulates figures.
The price OF light MEDIUM wool here
prior to 1884 was about % cents per
pound. 1t seems TO me that tariff
reduction of cents per pound would
be Is per cent. and deduct % per cent.
from a profit of 40 per cent. would
leave II per cent. profit on wool grow
ing. Evidently the astute editor and
statesman of the Jefiersonian has
soaked his head a little to much with
something stronger than water.

CONFIDENCE FELT.
Abilene's Business Houses not At
fected by the Bank Failure.

The stranger in the city is surprised
that so little effect Of the bank failure
is noticeable. Business goes on much as
usual and the firms have no apprecia-
bly, change in their affairs. This is due,
partly to the confidence that is felt in
Mr.. LebOld and Mr.. Fisher. T.hey
have torso long proved upright, lIonest
and deserving of trust that W. EN- thew
say their estates are worth enough to
pay off the creditors the pee pie general
ly believe 1t.
Of course, now since an assignment
has been made it will lake some months
to straighten matters out but all will
share alike and as the company has so
much property taero is every reason to
believe that they will be able to pay
very close to 100 per cent. to all cred
itOrs.
Another reason for the business
houses firm standing is that the firms
of Abilene are not dependent one upon
another. The weak firms were frozen
out in the boom days and those remain
ing are firms with money to back them
firms that have been conducted OF
straightforward business principles ar d
are ready to meet all due obligations,
The immense crops which have
blessed Dickinson county make tb peo-
pie independent Of any fDancb Il crash
that can come. With 900, COZ. bushels
of wheat and 6 200, 900 BUSH els of corn
there is no reason why We should not
go on to a prosperity mCre successful
than ever before known here.
Whatever rumOrs may gain eireula-
ton there is no trouble noticeable here
and anything to tie contrary is false
hood, With good backing and conf
dence in one another there is nothing
that can interfere with the merchants
progress and we anticipate a satisfac-
tory acceptance of the situation and no
diminution in the volume of business,
the fall trade of which is unusually
large.

The Wait Libel Suit.

The finding of W. S. Wait, editor OF
the Lincoln Beacon, guilty of criminal
libel in wrongfully accusing Senator j.
G. Mohler. asswas done at Salina yester-
day was somewhat of surprise. The
penalty for the crime is not more than
one year in the penitentiary or $1,000
fine, or both. Mr.. Wait is quite feeble
and will probably be let of easily.
Wait charged at the time the murderer
Cleary was killed by q mob that MOhler
had "6xed" the jury and robbed
Cleary's family and was responsible for
Cleary's death.
