THE DAIRYMEN's ASSOCIATION.
Abilsn ne Should Secure the Next
Quarterly Meeting.

Abilene Should Secure the Next
Quarterly Meeting.
The Kansas State Dairymen's associ-
alton at its Topeka session early in this
month, passed a resolution that the
county having the most members and
reporting the same by Feb. Goth, would
be entitled to the next meeting.
The association will meet in the lat
ter part of March and the dairymen of
this county are endeayoring to secure
the meeting sfor Abilene. Dickinson
county has large number of enthusi-
astic creamery men and others inter-
ested in the development of the dairy
interests, and it would be a decided
benefit if the meeting could be held in
this city. Since the union of the but
ter and cheese manufacturers with the
dairy association it is a strong organi-
cation and has large attendance at its
sessions.
Mr.. J. E. Nissley, of the Abilene
creamery, is one of the prominent
workers of the state and a leading
member of the association. He will
endeavor to secure the meeting here
and if assisted by sufficient number
of the county's daiTymen will succeed.

Chicago Groceries.

A large shipment of the groceries,
etc., contracted for by the farmers OF
Dickinson county through agents
during the past few weeks arrived this
morning and the farmers have been
anxiously inspecting their goods, pur
chased "unsight unseen" 1t is need
less to say that not only could they
nave purchased most of the articles
lully as cheap of hCme merchants, but
many of the articles were vastly in
ferior to the home goods OF the same
price. Besides this the scheme OF
buying of shrewd agent leads pur-
chasers into buying things they do not
need, which is not the case when they
Guy goods at home. Abilene's and
Dickinson cOunty's merchants will be
found always giving their patrons the
best they have and nothing will be
made by sending away for goods.

A Brace of Burglaries.

Two forcible entries of business
houses occurred last night but little
damage was done in either. The first
was the breaking into the Abilene
Bridge Company's works on South
Second street. Some tools only were
taken. Then the rascals, undoubtedly
the same gang, broke into Kenyon's
store, entering through the rear window
from the alley. They were after cash
only and found SOL in the drawer
which was the sum of the haul Con
siderable tobacco juice was spit upon
the floor which shows the burglars were
no gentlemen as a spittOon stood near.

An Old Resident Dead.

Rev. Jordan, who has for many years
been a resident of Chapman, quietly
breathed his last Thursday evening.
Father Jordan had reached the ripe old
age of Sc years. He was greatly be-
loved by the whole community, who
heard with SORROW of his decease. For
more than a quarter of a century he
was Congregational pastor in one OF
the churches in New England, but
when old age, though not diminishing
his enthusiasm for the work of the
Master, rendered the work too burden
some. he came to Kansas to spend his
declining years with his daughter, Mrs.
Scott Poor.

Getting ont of Bondage.

The people of Dickinson county are
getting out of the bondage of chattel
mortgages. Register of Deeds w. D.
Nichols informed the REFLECTOR this
morning that during the present month
he has released 1S7 chattel mortgages
and it will run to over 200 before the
month is ended. This is double OF
triple the number ever released in any
one month before in the history of the
county. And this is not all-the plac-
ing of mortgages is also decreasing.
One year ago the registers Ofice
kept four clerks busy all the time; now
Mr.. Nichols and one assistant are aOie
to do all the transcribing. This shows
well for Dickinson county, and the ratt
at which chattel mortgages are being
released proves that the tide Of pros
perity is setting this way stronger thai
ever and the farmers seem to be reap
| ing the first fruits of it.
