ventllntIon. Water nnd FOOD.

There arc three things every one should
attend to who has neutrality-suspicious..
puro water and unadulternted food Dif
fcult as the food question is. with duo
caro- 1t can be mastered. Pure dir, also,
can be ~measurably secured, cven II the
residence be in a malarial district. But
the problem Of all most difficult is how to
be sure Of pure water. Tho bacterial
germs that produce malignant diseases
are most easily introduced into the system
by means Of apparently puro water. New

lake system is now receiving the sewer

densed milk factory in the world. 10000
cows, 1900 horses, 5000 hogs and forty
factories. The absolute seltishness and

nothing moro than their readiness to pol.

The very sweetest orange and richest is
the black or rusty coated fruit. PICK out
the dingiest oranges in the box and you
will get the best. Another way to choose
oranges is by weight. The heaviest are
the best, because they have the thinnost
skin and more weight of juice. Thick
skin oranges are apt to be dry; they
either weigh less because of having 90
much skin. or because Of tho poverty OF
the juice In these particular specimens.
A slight freezing on the tree causes this
condition In otherwise fine fruit. Tho
kid glove oranges arc the two varieties
Of small fruit grown in Florida from
stocks respectively brought from China
and from Tangicrs. They arc called
Mandarin" ard 'Tangerine." They
may be eaten without soiling q kid glove,
because tho skin is loose and the little
''gores" or pockets Of juice come apart
very clearly and without breaking. All
tho above applies TO Florida oranges The
Jamaica and Havana oranges arc much
palor yellow, and their juice is usually Of
more acid quality.-The Caterer.

During an acute attack Of Bronchitis, a

sufferer, Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease IL also
attended with Hoarseness, And some

of New Mexico and the surrounding coun-
try.
It will be in the hands Of and read by
most of the StOckmen and cowboys in this
portion of tho territory.
AZ stock is liable to stray It is desirable
for owners to have their brands widely
known, so that stray stock can be recog-
lied and owners notified.
In order to have brands widely known
they must be well advertised.

City Council Doings.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last night. Little business of i'm
portance was transacted.
The water and light business was re-
ferred back to the committee on that
subject.
The city clerk was instructed to
draw warrants for payment of judges
and clerks of the last election.
Mayor Lebold sent in the nomina-
ton of A. d. Tannyier for street COM
missioner and marshal. The nomina-
tion was unanimously confirmed.
Capt. Tannyier will make a first.
class officer. He was captain of the
seth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry
during the war and for years had
charge CT the police force of Osceola
Pa. Abilene can expect a strict en-
forcement of the laws.
The outgoing marshal and commits
sioner, John Powell, will no doubt fee
relieved to be rid of the duties which
he has performed so long. He hal
made a good commissioner and turns
over to affairs of the Office to his sue
cessor in good shape. The streets
never were so fine as they are today.

ABILENE DECIDES TO CELE.
BRATE INDEPEND-
ENCE DAY.
Arrangements Are Perfected for the
Grandest Celebration In Central
Kansas - Everybody Invited to
Come and Enjoy the Day.

Abilene will celebrate the Fourth of
July. The Driving Park & Fair asso-
citation in connection with other citi-
zens of the city has decided to have a
glorious, old-fashioned day of rejoicing
and pleasure.
The program which will be issued in
few days includes races of all kinds
from sack races, wheelbarrow races,
firemen's races, to some fine trotting
at the Driving park.
There will be also an Grafton by
some prominent speaker and music in
abundance. Fireworks will illumi-
nate the heavens in the evening.
Everything will be done to make the
day enjoyable and with the usual en-
thusiasm exhibited by Abileue's citi-
zens when they take hold of anything
there is sure to be most successful
occasion.
Invitations will be extended to the
neighboring cities, special trains will
be run and Abilene will entertain Cen
trail Kansas from early morning until
late at night. As it becomes known
that Abilene will celebrate extensively
no other city in the vicinity will be
likely to arrange for display of en-
thusiasm so that all can adjourn and
spend the day within our gates. They
will be more than welcome and Abb
lene will see that they are entertained.

FROM OKLAHOMA.

Special to REFLECTOR.
GUTHRIE, 1. T., April 23-We are
on the ground in good shape, got
through easily though somewhat
crowded. The rush yesterday was
something wonderful. The townsite
of Guthrie which yesterday morning
was clean prairie now has a popula-
ton of over $1,000 people all living in
tents, though the ready made houses
are going up rapidly. The city is To-
Gated on beautiful undulating prairie
in the midst of most delightful sur
rounding country. The first train load
of boomers which got in here about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon found the
best places already taken, the railroad
employees and those holding govern
ment permits having come in days be-
fore and grabbed their claims at Il
o'clock sharp.
The Abilene boys are all here and all
well, none OF them have yet had thGll
scalps raised though one OF two were a
little worried yesterday.
There has as yet been no serious
trouble. The immigrants are as gen.
eral thing gentlemanly and straightfor-
ward and inclined to be business-like,
When once on their claims they pro-
pose to defend their rights, and others
are sensible enough to understand it.
In dispute over a claim one man
was killed yesterday, the only fatal
scrimmage. The better class of settlers
are taking immediate steps to organize
a temporary government and it seems
likely that peace will, after a manner

PROMISED Land.
The Santa Fe passenger train took
out Sunday quite company of abb

and as they had through coach they
will roll through in delightful style.
A number from Salina and points
north of here were aboard, crowding
the train. At Strong City the trains
on the main line were filed so that
there was not even standing room.
The Abilene party was made up of
the following gentlemen who are pre-
sumably at this writing cavorting
around in grass near Guthrie, lodging
bullets and looking for lunch: P.Van
Dyke and E. w. Wray, who have
formed partnership and will open a
bakery at Guthrie. They have load
of flour from the Abilene city mills on
the way and Paul s. Jacobs are making
tables, trOughs, etc. j. G. Walker
will paint signs in all colors. styles and
sizes for the boomers. Joe Sexton will
take birds-eye views of the situation
every three hours for the next few days
commencing at O'Clock today; Shipe
will furnish advertising matter to put
on the back of the views booming abb
lene, the future capital of Kansas. NJ.
NJ. Shipe is after street car franchise
and will show the Oklahomaites how to
boom town. G.. G. Newcomb will
engage in the flour and feed business.

The finest building in course of cree
ton in the county at present is un-
doubtedly the new bank building being
put up by J. F. Staatz & Son at Enter
prise. The structure is now up to the
first floor and gives promise of much
beauty. 1t will be of cut stone, the
front of broken asher, native rock,
with heavy Corinthian columns of
Lake Superior red sandstone ON either
side the vestibuled corner entrance.
Plate glass windows, handsome mould
ings ami mansard roof will add to the
appearance and as the interior will be
furnished most elegantly and expen.
sively it will make a veritable gem of a
building of which Enterprise and the
ucky owners may well be proud.

TWO BAD WAYS
Of Getting Money Reported from
Rope-Safe- Breaking and Passing
Counterfeits.


Special to the REFLECTOR.
HOPE, Kas., April 21-The Missouri
Pacific Office was broken into last night
and an attempt made at cracking the
safe. The burglars were frightened
away before they could complete their
work and there was no money secured.
Their tools were left in the Office and
show that the marauders were used to
the business. No trace can be found
of the rascals nor is it likely that there
will be. The HeriDgton Missouri
Pacific Office was robbed of 5000 some
weeks ago, evidently by the same gang,
and nothing regarding the thieves has
ever been discovered.
An Eastern man, T. j. Guest, own.
ing property north of this city, was
ar rested last evening on a charge OF
passing counterfeit money. He gave
NJ. c. Hemenway a bogus silver dollar
in payment of subscription, for which
action he was arrested Under Sheriff
Ellison came down and took him in
custody but he gave bonds in the sum
of 81, 900 for appearance. He viii

and says he took the money and passed
