The Chronicle Retracts.

A few weeks ago the Chronicle de-
libelately and with malice afore-
thought insulted two of Abilene's most
estimable young business men, Messrs.
Broughton. The gentlemen without
hesitation entered a suit for criminal
libel and had Mr.. Claiborne under
81, 900 bonds. When he saw that he
had no leniency to expect he COM
menced to weaken and this week in
order to escape trial and settle the
matter, does the grand crawfish act by
publishing the following card:
We have discovered on close inquiry
that Mr.. Broughton took the robe al
luded to in the Chronicle some time
ago, by mistake, and that he had no in
tention of doing anything criminal.
We make this notice in justice to the
boys.
In addition to this he pays all the
costs of the suit.
Messrs. Broughton have always con-
Quoted themselves in a straight-for-
ward manner and the sentiment of the
city has been entirely with them dur
ing the Chronicles unproyoked and
malicious persecution. Now that that
paper has had to eat its own words SO
ignobly it will probably be little more
careful how it gratifies personal spite
at the expense of business mems char
acters.

was celebrated the 54th birthday ami
versary of the births of Mr.. Campbell
and James Adams, of Abilene, both
having been born on the same day.
Mrs. Heindel who was present also
celebrated birthday though she is
some score of years younger. The
families of the hosts united and there
were forty-four other guests from the
vicinity. There was some fine guitar
music by Rev. Sharpe, of Abilene, in
strumental music by Frank and Flora
Adams and bounteous dinner pre-
pared by Mrs. Campbell and her, daugh-
tiers. The day was spent in the fine
grove near the house where dinner was
spread, games played and pleasure en-
joyed fully by every guest. AT last
when at sunset the guests departed it
was with hearty good wishes for the
hosts and regrets that day of so much
enjoyment was over.

Kansas Weather.

The signal service says of the Kan
sas weather for the week ending yes
terday:
In all sections the weather has
proved favorable for wheat, rye and
oats, leaving them in prime condition.
In the southern counties wheat con-
tinues heading out finely. Ryeis head
ing as far north as the Kaw. The rain
fall has been very favorable to all crops
except the corn, proving too cold for
that cereal, and exhibiting the same
effect on the chinch bug.
Farm work is being seriously retarded
in the southeastern counties by the
excessive rains. The hail stones did
some damage to growing crops and
to window glass. On the 30th, ice
formed in Greeley nearly half an inch
thick, on the 1st and I'd, it formed in
water troughs an ] of an inch thick as
far south as COffey. The frosts cut
down beans, tomatoes and sweet
potatoes plants and other tender gar
den plants in the central and western
counties including the corn in some
of the latter. Tame grasses are max
ing a rapid growth while the wild
grasses are slow.

For Painting the Town.

The police court had the exquisite
pleasure this morning of sentencing
two miscreants who started in Satur-
day to paint the town red. They COM
menced on Judge Quinn's fence, whose
beauty they spoiled with several daubs
of paint that they were carrying. The
men were Peter Altrof, an old offender,
and Chas. Sewers. Although the law
is very strict on such matters, they
were let off with fines of $25 and $15
respectively. Many persons have an
mate mania for marking and defacing
fences when walking along the street.
They should remember that they there
by subject themselves to severe pun
ishment.

That misfortunes never come singly
was well shown Friday evening
when the second fire in twelve hours

Though the fire department was
promptly On hand little could be saved,
even Mr.. WIS. carriage being destroyed.
The barn belonged to J. Thomas, of
Topeka, and was partly insured. The
carriage was DR.. Welsher's and was in
sured for $50.

COUNCIL MEETING.
An Important Session Last Evening
The Daily Reflector Made he
Official CITY Paper.


The city council met in regular ses-
sion in the city hall last evening. The
meeting held late owing to an adjourn
ment to attend the fire. All members
were present except Councilman Hoff-
man.
The minutes of previous meetings
were read and approved.
Two petitions on side walks were
read and referred to committee On
streets. Several bills were allowed
and warrants ordered drawn. Ex-
Commissioner Powell's report was read
and clerk ordered to certify before
county clerk.
The committee on light and water
which has been examining the electric
light plant and trying to prepare plan
of Improvement submitted the follow
ing report in writing, which was re-
ceived and ordered placed on file:
Mr.. Mayor and Gentlemen of the City
Council:
Your committee on electric light
has carefully and thoroughly investi-
gated the matter of lighting the streets
of our city by the various methods now
in use throughout the state, and after
due elaboration and consultation with
the manager of the electric plant in
our midst, believe it to be for the best
interest Of taxpayers to continue the
present system with the promise of
Mr.. Bonebrake that the adjustment of
new globes and inverted refiectOrs will
at least produce One-third more volume
of light than at present obtained.
The readjustment of several lamps and
the addition of three new ones will
give satisfaction to various localities
now in darkness, and will provide for
the creek bridges, the Santa Fe and
Rock Island crossings, ETC., as will be
seen by map of the city-now in the
hands of his honor Mayor Lebold-
which was marked for the purpose,
all this at an additional expense of
only $21.
Your committee also believes that if
satisfactory arrangements can be made
with Mr.. Bonebrake, the addition of
three arc lights judiciously located in
the business centre of our city, will
prove beneficial to our commercial in
terests and fill a long-felt want that
our pride and standing with other
municipalities demand.
In a word 81 incandescents will cost
the city S1296 yearly, or 8 arc lights
and AZ incandescents will cost SASS,
just S213 more than is paid at present,
and will give, we belive, universal sat-
isfaction. Ali of which is respectfully
submitted. w. J. WINFIELD,
j. n. SHANE,
JOHN READ.
On motion the DAILY REFLECTOR
was awarded the city printing for the
ensuing year at so per cent of legal
rates and was designated as the "ofa-
cial paper of the city,"
The report of the city treasurer was

ordered published.
