Spring Importations.

We have received from A. w. Har-
greaves, Abilene's leading merchant
tailor, his announcement of the arrival
of spring and summer importations of
gentlemen's suitings. An inspection
of his handsome assortment of goods,
of foreign and domestic manufacture
and in all styles, colors and weights
will delight the soul of any man who
likes to be well dressed. Mr.. Har-
greaves' stock is equal to anything to
be found in the large cities and is of
the latest patterns. His workmanship
is recognized among the best ill Kan
sas, as his large orders from other cities
show. Every gentlemen of Abilene
who needs an addition to his wardrobe
should examine his choice assortment
before it is broken.

passing a term in the recesses of a
dungeon dark, dank and dreary, the
disgrace to parents, friends and best
girl, all conspired to nerve him to des-
perate deeds. With sturdy pace he set
out for the county seat, fifteen miles
away, his arms tapping around his
shoulders like the sails of windmill
as he attempted to warm his hands, oc-
casional cuss words bubbling over his
lips as he thought of the narrowness by
which he missed ride, and now and
then quake of fear lest he should be
too late. AT last Enterprise was
reached and from there he got ''lift'
into town so that he was able to pre-
sent himself footsore and weary before
''his honor" on time. He vows that il

CITY Election.

The electors of Abilene will have
quite lengthy list of officers to choose
at the coming city election, April I'd.
Owing to designations, ETC., the officers
to be elected are more numerous than
before in the history of the city.
There will be in all nineteen names
on the ticket, as follows: Mayor, seven
members OF the school board, four
councilmen, police judge, two justices
of the peace, two constables, city treas
urer and treasurer of the board of edu-
cation.
If that is not good chance for a
eight it will not be the fault of circum
stances for with nearly score of can
didates on side the fur should be
made to fly somewhere. The fact that
the women have a voice this time will
add to the interest.
The books of registration close March
22d. Be sure and have your name en-
rolled thereon before that date if you
wish to vote-and of course you do.

Another SWindle.

An ingenious swindler is going the
rounds and passing off two dollar bills
for five dollars. With stamp or die
he cuts out the large figure 2 and re-
places it with 5, cut out with the
stamp and exactly fitting the opening,
slight tear is made on the bill and a
piece of pink paper is pasted over this,
holding the figure in its place. The
small figure 2's are then blurred and
the bill is passed off as genuine. An
Abilene business man was roped in on
the scheme this morning and warns
people to look out for a repetition.

A SIGNIFICANT CALL.
Catholic Total Abstinence Society at
Work for Prohibition.
A GREAT CONVENTION TO BE HELD.
Very Rev. Father Garrigan to be Here and
Aid in the Work.
CHANCE FOR DIFFERENCE IN VIEWS

Rev. Reyes F. Canevin, President of the
Diocesan Union of the National Catholic
Total Abstinence Society, has issued a cir
cular calling convention of all the local
societies in the Pittsburg diocese, to be held
in LAFAYETTE Hall March u.
The convention will be attended by about
100 delegates. There are 40 societies in the
diocese, and each one will be entitled to
three representatives. Included in the bust
ness to be transacted will be the election of
delegates to the national annual conven-
ton of the union, to be held at Cleveland in
August next. The annual reports of Presi-
dent Canevin and other officers will be
read, the work done by the different So
cieties during the past year will be re-
viewed, and what is to be done during the
coming wear will be outlined.
The convention this year will be of un-
usual interest in view of the fact of the
submission Of the
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
to a vote of the people in June. 1t is said
that between one-third and one-halt of the
members throughout the State will vote for
the adoption of the amendment. While
the others are total abstainers, they will not
vote for the prohibitory law. A great many
of the members in this city believe in indi-
vidual prohibition, and take the liberal
Catholic view of the matter when it comes
to the issue of stopping the manufacture of
liquor entirely. An effort will probably be
made by some of the radical members at
the convention to pass a prohibitory reso-
luton.
Among the prominent people to be present
at the convention is the Very Rev. Father
Garrigan, Vice Rector of the new Catholic
University at Washington, D. c. He will
make an address on "Higher Education.
Father Garrigan is we'll known in this city
from his writings, and there will be great
desire to see and hear him.
TO BE DELIGHTFULLY."- VARIED.
In the evening of the first day of the con-
vention a musical and literary entertain
ment will be given in the hall. A special
effort will be made to secure the best talent
to be obtained in the county.
The Catholic temperance societies
throughout the diocese are taking an active
interest in temperance matters, and, if the
work being done now bears any results in
June, thousands OF Catholic families will
vote for the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment. For the past two or three
weeks Fathers Canevin, Sheedy and Nc
Tighe, of this city, have been making things
smoke in this direction. Next Sunday
evening the former will speak and organize
a new society at St. Kyrian's Church, But
Ter street. On the same evening Father
Sheedy will make an address at the Holy
Cross Church, in Brownstown, and every
Sunday Father McTighe is adding new
members to his temperance society. On
March Father Sheedy goes to Wellsville,
where he will make an address Nearly
every Sunday evening they will hold meet
ings at some of the different churches and
organize new societies.

29 DISTRICTS TOO BIG.
Petitions to Court to Redivide Election Pre-
cincts Having Over $50 Votes Each
Who the SiSuers Are.

Petitions to Court to Redivide Election Pre-
cincts Having Over ESQ Votes Each
Who the Signers Are.
A petition was presented to Judge Collier
in the Quarter Sessions Court yesterday
asking for a division of a number of the
districts in various wards throughout the
city, the number of voters having increased
until they reach above $50 in each of the
districts given. The State Constitution
provides that, when the number of voters in
district reaches $50, the Quarter Sessions
Court can, if it sees 6t, redivide the district
for the sake of convenience to voters. The
following named districts, with their vote
at the November election last year, are
shown:
SIKH ward-Second district 26S votes; Eighth
ward-Third district, 254 votes: Eleventh ward
Fourth district, $50 votes; Twelfth ward
Sixth district, go votes; Thirteenth ward-Sec-
ond district 256 votes; Fourth district, 265 votes
Fourteenth ward-First district, 300 votes: Sec
ond district 255 votes Fourth district, Ais votes
Sixth district, $50 votes; Sixteenth ward-Sec-
ond district 299 votes; Third district, 267 votes
Fifth district, 25S votes; Seventeenth
ward-Third district 2S6 votes; Fourth
district, 261 votes; Fifth district,
279 votes; Sixth district. $50 votes, Eighteenth
ward-First district, 1863 votes: Nineteenth
ward-First district. 2s9 votes; Third district,
267 votes; Twentieth ward-Fourth district,
265 votes; Fifth district, 2S4 votes Twenty-first
ward-First district. $50 votes; Twenty-thlrd
ward-First district, SlS votes; Second district,
344 votes; Twenty-fourth ward-Second district
27 votes; Twenty-seventh ward-Second dis
trict S23 votes Third district 96z votes; Thirty
first ward-Second district, 355 votes.
The petition states that the commission ap-
pointed in 1855 to redivide the districts of the
city was not in a position to estimate the rapid
growth in population, and suggests that, if
commission should be appointed in this case,
care should be taken to so redistrict the wards
as to render another commission and the at
tendant expenses unnecessary for many years
TO come. The document is signed by e. L.
John ]. McCaffrey, ]. E. McCrickart and
number of others
