Declared Insane.

The jury in the Brechbill case
brought in verdict of insanity against
the unfortunate man and he will be
sent to the asylum. He was there
once before but was discharged as
cured. A number of the witnesses in
the case ascribed his actions both in
previous instances and in the shooting
of Vollstadt to pure eussedness, but
there seems to be little doubt that the
mans brain is affected.
After the verdict had been declared
the question of the costs came up and
was argued by County Attorney Bit
ting and c. s. Crawford. Mr.. Biting
severely criticised tie Brechbill family
for allowing the man to be at large
when they knew his mental condition
The fact that he has mereilessly abused
his children and wife proved him to b
better fit for madhouse than for /;
civilized community. The court ais
censured them strongly. The costs o.
the trial, etc., were finally assessed
against the estate.

EDITOR REFLECTOR: l would say
in reply to Mr.. A. Ii. Ryon's letter,
about the New ChillicOthe pOstOffice,
published in the Dickinson County
News of last week, that of the seventy
families who have been patrOnizing the
office fifty will continue to use the
same office, and about ten families can
patronize the Neumiller office and ten
Or twelve will patronize the Sutphen
Mills office. And would further ask
Mr.. RyOn when he says that the post
master refused to violate the postal
laws, if he is not in the habit of swear
ing and using all kinds OF vulgar lall-
guage in the postoffice in the presence
of patrons, ladies and children? He
also says that the worst charges that
he has heard against him, are that he
sells tobacco and allows the neighbors
to play cards for amusement in his
private rooms. Mr.. Ryon, honor
bright, is it not fact that L. j. Cook
plays, and allows playing, cards for
cigars in the room that patrons have to
go through for their mail and which is
lllO Ollll way W SCG lIlIO ClIC OLlCC.
| would just say in regard to the re-
monstrance, that several only signed it
for their convenience and not for the
good will they had for Mr.. Cook. 1
T. Leatherman, w. r. Thomas and
VIM. Drain, all living within a very
short distance of the office, refused to
sign the remonstrance. They all know
L. j. Cook just as well as Mr.. Ryon.
1t is absurd to call L. j. Cook model
postmaster. There could be worse;
but there could be good deal better.
Alice Wilson has received her COM
mission as postmaster and will take
charge of the Office in few days, and
l.. J. Cook can go to farming then.
While Mr., Ryon is counting so often /
would ask him if he is not particular
friend of l.. J. Cook and working more
in his interest than the interest of ths
patrons? And when Mr.. Ryon says
that L. J. Cook is an average man in
the neighborhood. is he not a little
| absurd?
Mr.. Ryon and Mr.. Cook tell Mr.
| Hodge that the parties circulating the
petition said that Mr.. Hodge told them
that the postoffice would be discon
tinued if some one did not take the

such inducement used to get signers

Under New Management.

Yesterday the Stanton house passed
into the hands of the Union Pacific
Railway company by which it will here
after be managed. The road now has
twenty hotels under the management
of the superintendent, Mr.. Thos.
Swobe, and the assistant, W. c. Ilett.
Mr.. 1. was here yesterday formally tax
ing charge of the hotel in the name of
the U. P, returning today to the head
quarters of the hotel department at
Omaha, Neb. The house will remain
under the old name for a time.
The company las wisely retained
Col. Jamison as manager of the house.
He is one of the best hotel men in the
West and makes a friend of every
guest, Under his efficient personal
management, backed by liberal and
wealthy company, We may expect to
see the Stanton take higher rank than
ever before among the best hotels of
Kansas.
Mr.. w. E. Moore also remains as
clerk. He has, by his universally
genial and accommodating man
ner, made among the travelling
public hosts of friends who will be
pleased to know that he continues be-
hind the desk. The old corps of en-
ployes will for the most part be re-
tanned for the present.

DR.. Hodge Gets 1t.

Yesterday the President appointed
DR.. J. NJ. Hodge of this city as register
of the Salina land Office, vice S. NJ.
Palmer deceased. The Doctors semi
weekly visits to Manhattan have borne
fruit and he is doubtless happy in the
possession of his old position again.
The salary attached to the place is $500
and fees which count up well into the
hundreds.
The appointment of Mr.. Hodge to
the place removes him as personal ap-
plicant for the position of postmaster
at this city which he probably could
not secure. The other fellows will
now have a chance to see what they
can do toward knocking down the
larger plum.

a Dwelling Entered and Several Val
uables Appropriated-No Clue to
the Robbers. -
Last night about midnight the resi-
hence OF. DR.. G. W. Brooks, on North
Buckeye, was burglarized, a gold
watch and chain and $500 in money
being taken.
Another instance of the numerous
larcenies and burglaries that have
taken place in the city during the past
few months occurred last night. DR..
G. w. Brooks woke up about O'Clock
and found that someone had entered
the house. Looking further he discov-
cred that his clothes had been over
hauled and his gold watch and chain as
well as about $500 missing. Some
valuable papers had been scattered on
the floor and abandoned while his
clothing had been carried as far as the
yard. There is no clue whatever to
the robbers.
This thing is becoming altogether
too frequent and severe measures
should be taken at once to prevent fur
ther REPETITION of such crimes. 1t GER
tainly appears as if there was an Or
ganized band of robbers in the city as
their depredations are becoming so
common. 1t is certain that large num-
beers of tramps, Migrants, ETC., are max
ing their headquarters here and becom-
ing more numerous daily. The police
authorities should take stringent meas
ures to rid the city of their presence
and at once, too. The favorite gather
ing places of this ilk are the old build
ines on the south side, about the stock
yards aud along the creek swest of
town, in the vicinity of the Union Pa
cific water tank.

taken at once to clear the town of all
disreputable characters,

The special meeting of the board OF

are as follows:

of balloting for superintendent. One
hundred ballots were taken. With few
exceptions, when third party received
one or two votes, the result was: Prof.
II. F. Graham, 5; Prof. Rannells. of
Delaware, Ohio, 5. AS the thing was
growing monotonous, and there seemed
no likelihood of either side giving way,
an adjournment was taken until Satur-
day evening next when the voting will
be resumed.

Crops and Weather.

The signal services weather report
for the week ending yesterday says
that one and one-eleventh inches of rain
fell ON an average over the State. The
temperature was unusually high, and
the sunshine abundant
The seeming damage to wheat and
oats by the severe winds of the 4th,
5th and 9th in Harvey and Butler is
about all repaired by reasonable rains
and generally favorable weather since.
Over the State generally the crops are
reported in a flourishing condition.
The very favorable weather of the
past week has brought all vegetation
well forward, except in the extreme
west and southwest, in which sections
rain is much needed.
The heavy rains caused washouts on
some of the railroads, delaying trains.
In Johnson, near Morse, one and
twenty-five hundredths inches of rain
fell in ten minutes. In Clay, on the
river bottoms, the water remained fol
several days, thus necessitating a large
amount of replanting. The hail storms
cut much corn, bruised wheat badly ir
narrow belts and damaged gardens; in
Coffey the hail stones measured from
one to two inches in diameter. Chincf
bugs are doing much damage in Wood
son, while in Coffee and Lyon the rains
have checked the young brood. Ii

Strange Arithmetical Methods.

EDITOR OF THE REFLECTOR: In the
May number of the Western School
journal, the problems given to the
teachers in the April examinations are
solved. Two or three of the answers
are, as it seems to me, wrong; and as
many of the Dickinson county teachers
read the Journal, it seems only right
that some correction should be made,
l therefore take the liberty of using
your columns for the purpose of MAX
ing these corrections. The Journal, in
the following problem, uses 31f gallons
for barrel:
If :: inch of rain fall, how many barrels of
water will flow into u cistern which drains a
roof 25 by 50 feet!
In the solution the quantity of water
is given as 25x50x172S=90, 900 cubic
inches of water. This divided by
231x314 1.-THE number of cubic inches in
gallon and the number0of gallons
given as one barrel.) gives II 1917 bar
r6lS as Tie dDSW0I.
If mistake not, all the text books
agree in using az gallons instead of
314. giving as the correct answer 1924
barrels.
In the 9th example the solution is
correct, but II per cent. has been
used instead of l2I per cent. The cor
rect answer is $177.77 10 instead of
s17S.565.
| A sells horse to and gains 121 per cent
| B sells to G. and gains IL per cent. If pays
s236 for the horse. how much did it cost A!
AS buying price=100 per cent;
gains II per cent; selling price 112
per cent.
BIS buying price=112 per cent;
gains IS per cent. of 112 per cent
2O.16 per cent.
BIS selling price=112 per cent. plus
2O.16 per cent.=132.16 per cent.
| C's buying price=132.16 per cent
1896. 1872 IS per cent.=S236.
Canrot for moment imagine why
the seventh problem should be solved
by a method which went out of date
80 years ago, and is found in none Of
our modern text books.
Mr.. Is IS years of age and his son is II
years of age; in how many years will the ag'
| of the son equal one half the age of his father
A solution much simpler, and more
logical than the one given by th'
Journal and in accordance with modern
methods is as follows:
35=age of father.
1O=age Of SOD.
35-10=25=age of father at birth O
. son.
+ 25x2=50=age of father when double
age of son. -
5O-S5 present age of father=15
. number of years before fathers agI
/. will be double that of son.

l other solutions, but will only notic'
