Hail to Freeze Ice Cream.

Mir. Rob't Duncan, of Fragrant Hill
township, was in the city this morning
and told the REFLECTOR of the havoc
done by the recent hail storm in that
section. On Gus Sauter's place the
hail drifted in places two feet thick;
the roof of Henry Steinforth's house
was beaten in by the force of the fall
ling hail stones. Windows were
broken everywhere and crops were
seriously injured. Cattle went wild
and broke through the wire fences. An
ice cream social was held at Mr.. Sau-
ter's last evening at which the cream
was frozen with hail gathered from the
drifts yesterdays week after the
storm. Mr.. Duncan casually remarked
that the REFLECTOR is the best, news
lest and brightest local paper he ever
proves that his head is
not hilly.

An Interesting Case.

ohe Of The most interesting cases Oh
-~rm Of court is that OF Il.
trlal at tfllS e. ~oaiust the G.
r. Nu.SeI, or THIS city, a.. Tha
K. & n. Il. II. (ROck Island). -
circumstances are that Nh. Russell last
May was at Enterprise and wished to
return home. He went to the depot
with plenty of time to purchase a
ticket but the agent was not III his
Office and Mr.. Russell could not get the
desired bit of pasteboard. The agent
remained on the outside platform until
the train started and Mr.. Russell
boarded the cars without Il ticket.
When the conductor took Up the fare
he wanted Is cents excess because tie
passenger had 10 ticket. Mr.. Russell
explained the matter and refused to
pay the excess. The conductor was OBJ
durate and stopping the train put Mr..
Russell off four Or i've miles east of
he refusing Gust for the prin-
ciple OF the thing to pay the money.
The walk home was hard one for q
gentleman as far advanced in years as
Mr.. Russell, and he thinks he is en-
titled to damages i'll the sum of 81 900.
The case came up for trial this
but was thrown out Of court
owing TO an error in bringing suit.

VIII Not Celebrate.

at meeting Of the directors of the
Driving Park and Fair association held
last evening, il was decided to cancel
all arrangements made for Fourth of
July celebration and concentrate the
efforts of the society upon the August
race meeting and perhaps an agricul-
tural fair in October.
The association is induced to take
this action chiefly by the lateness of
the season, which will throw the
busiest part of wheat harvest during
the first of July. This will, of course,
prevent the general attendance of
farmers and farmers families, which
is necessary to be successful celebra-
uon. Farmers will not give up a day
Tor pleasure when there is pressing
work at home-especially when a gen.
erous wheat harvest is 10y no means a
common thing in Kansas.
The association, upon carefully con-
siderlng the matter, thought it better
10 devote more attention to the sum-
mer race meeting, August 21-22- 23d.
and make that huge success. 1t also
contemplates an agricultural fair in
October if the season seems to warrant
1t. Upon consideration we believe this
action will De accepted as a wise one. |
The arrangement of good celebration
means the expenditure of several thous-
and dollars and it is undoubtedly a
wiser course to use the money in some
other manner, especially when large
sum Is necessary for the race meeting.

A Case for Solomon.

An exciting incident took place at
the Santa Fe depot this morning.
David Town and wife, living on South
Third street, have failed to get on well
together and it was finally agreed that
they should separate, Mrs. Town to go
to her home near Manchester. She in
tended to start on the morning train
and her husband was determined that
he would retain their child, three or
four years of age. He held the infant
all night so that the mother could not
secure it, but in some manner, along
towards morning, she obtained the
little one and ran for the depot. By
mistake she boarded the train on the
