p@EIjah Patton, living on North
Buckeye, was somewhat injured by a
kick from a horse Monday. No bones
were broken and he is able to be around
the house now.
STHose company No. held a meet
ing last night and formed temporary
organization. 1t will report to the
council Friday night and be received
as part of the Fire Department.
ETThe Free Methodists have COM

BILE.
@The REFLECTOR is the only
paper that has thus far been able to
secure report of the meetings of the
10. DO. H.-the Independent Order
of Disappointed Office Hunters-and
the complete proceedings of today's
convention are given on the second
page.
@Dr. C. H. lakewood performed a
difficult surgical operation today,
setting badly broken arm for a gen.
tleman from Vine Creek. The Doctors
fame as an expert surgeon extends
throughout Central Kansas, and his
eminent success shows that it is not
undeserved.
gOur agricultural editor says a
woman has discovered that if cream is
put into thick cloth and buried in
the ground for twenty-four hours it
will turn into butter without the
trouble of churning. This discovery
may change the process of making
butter, and save much time and trouble
for farmers wives.
E9rThe Washington dispatches say
that T. A. Perry, of Abilene, was
granted patent last week for trough
for watering stock. 1t is not stated
whether it is street-car or gas-well
stock that is to be watered, but if
either one can stand expansion, Mr..
Perry is welcome to the money he will
make out of his patent.
gOne of the greatest surprises
recently sprung On an Abileneite was
in lawsuit this week. A pump man
wanted to recover S65 for windmill
sold to farmer. The farmer proved
that the mill wouldn't work and he
had to haul water for his cattle, and
the jury brought in verdict for $50
against the windmill vender. He is
still trying to figure the thing out.
%We learn that W. W. Day, one
of the pioneers of South Dickinson,
eontemplates renting his farm in Ridge
township and moving to Abilene to
take advantage of this city's educa-
tional advantages for his children.
Mr.. Day was one of the members of
Gen. Harrison's regiment and islands
i'm with the president-elect. He will
be valuable addition to AbileDe's list
of stalwart Republicans.
|W. z. Seeds and II. E. Seeds
are having Billings old rooms over
GleisSuer's reftted and will soon open
a loan and law office. FL. Z. will con-
duct the loan and insurance business,
while w. 2. will take up his law prac-
tice again. He has every qualification
for a successful attorney, and with his
extensive training in the probate
judgeship he will take a front rank
at once in the county capitals legal
fraternity.
Wanted-an editor who can read.

historical at will, write 20 please every

or being told, always have something

9rC. c. Biting, county attorney,
has been fitting up an elegant suite of
rooms in the Hodge Bros block. the
old Republican headquarters. The 10
cation is fine one and he will no doubt
be able to do better work with the in
spiration of the campaign which fingers
in the apartments to inspire him. He
has certainly made good selection of
position and those who visit him in his
new location will find him well-fxed,
@The man who does not take a
