ST. PATRIcK's CHURCH.
Easter Sunday at st. Patrick's Church on
Mission street was a notable one, for the
mission, which had been attended by more
than 1000 men during the week, came to
close last night, and the earnest mission
aries were rewarded by seeing nearly the
whole number partake of the sacrament of
the altar
There was a solemn high mass at 1920
o'clock in the morning. The music was as
follows: Haydn's Third Mass; 'Vidi
Aquam," by Novello; "Veni Creator" by
La Hache; tenor solo, sung by Sgnor
Lana; "Indie Celebrates" (offerIory), by
Dlabelli; soprano solo and chOrus-solo by

1880 o'clock Rossi's Solemn Vespers were
rendered; ReEinia Cell" by NovelIo !;
80 Salutaris" aud "Tantum Ergo" for
benediction-sOprano solo by Bassiui and
chorus by Rossi The following singers
under the direction of j. III. DohrmaHn
took the solo parts, which were really beau
tlful: SIgnora GioYanna Bianchi, Alicia
Canning, SIgnor Lana and Sgnor Bellapie-
ira. Nespers was attended by nearly 5000
men, when sermon was preached by one of
the missionary fathers.
The only decorations were clusters of
flowers among the Gothic candelabra on
the altar and two stars of immorteIles In
the sanctuary.

Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.

Special BE FLECTOR respondence.
The religious services held at River
Brethren Zion meeting house on last
Sabbath, were specially interesting
The fore part of the meeting was spent
both in social exercises and in consider
ing the case of an applicant for bap-
tism.
The occasion was intended for an
opportunity to administer the sacred
ordinance of baptism. There were two
candidates and one for reunion to full
church fellowship.
The preaching services were opened
by Rev. Noah ZOok. His text was
taken from Acts VIII, So.
The speaker dwelt principally ON the
time for the rite to be administered
and the qualification" necessary for
the candidate; after which Elder Sam
uel ZoOk read from Matthew.
After receiving satisfactory answers
to the accustomed questions the audi
ence dispersed to meet at the water at
8 in the afternoon where the sacred
rite was administered. The services
were well attended, the day being very
pleasant. b

Burton and ingalls,.
rom the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Hon. J. Ralph Burton, the young
politician of Abilene, Kas., who has
for the past ten years been dubbed by
the Kansas press the "silver toDgued
orator from Abilene was in the city
yesterday en- route from Tecreative
sojOurD in Colorado to visit to New
York and Washington, and while at
the latter place he will watch carefully
the national political lines. Mr.. Bur-
ton revived some of his past fame last
spring by coming out as an aspirant
for Senator Ingalls, seat, and his ad-
mirers and bosom friends proceeded to
boom him in a manner most satisfac-
tory to the ambitious gentleman and
amusement of the balance of the popu-
lace of the state.
Mr.. Burton's opinion of the situation
has changed within the past few weeks.
AT the time of former visit Mr.. Bur
ton declared that the farmers alliance
and combined opposing forces would
teach Senator Ingalls, severe lesson
in American politics and drive him
from the senate by an overwhelming
majority. Mr.. Burton's opinion has
changed, as the following will indicates:
"What is the political situation in
Kansas" questioned a Journal repor-
ter.
81 don't know just what the situation
is, as have been in Colorado resting
up for month, :" replied Mr.. Burton,
"but there will be something drop in
Kansas this fall"
''Do you mean that Senator Ingalls,
will be defeated?'
mo, because have arrived at the
conclusion that nothing on earth will
defeat that man."

Waterworks Company, was crossing
between two cars of freight train in
front of Union Pacific depot Monday
night about o'clock his foot slipped
and the cars coming together it was
crushed between the bumper and the
car frame. He was carried to his
rooms and DR.. Steelsmith attended
him. Though badly injured the effects
will not be so severe as was at first
thought and it is likely that Mr.. D. will
be out in a few days. The bones are
not broken. John says he will hereaf-
ter be strictly moral man so far as
obeying the railway company's COM
mands to stay away from the cars is
concerned.

TRIMMING UP A SUCKER.
How an Ablleneite Did It Out in
Pueblo, Colorado.

| Tom Wilson never truly strikes his
gait except when he does up an abb
leneite. He is then in his best form"
! The following from the current Rocky
Ford Watermelon is self explanatory:
About two months ago there arrived
in Pueblo, from the ragged edge of pro-
hibitivn at Abilene, Kansas, an old
pioneer of the grasshOpper village
named Ira l.. Smith, who at once pro-
ceeded to hunt up his old cOmpadre,
w. A. Hansbrough, who took him in
for auld lang syne days, and elevated
him to to the position of suit of new
clothes and head hostler and coach
man at the family stables. Flat
busted and very dry" was Ira's almost
perishable condition when he landed in
Pueblo town. Years on the thirsty
prairies of Kansas had cracked his hide,
torn his clothes and sun-bliStered and
parched his tongue. He was a dry
wreck-leaking at every pore and port
hole. Gus took the eX-alderman out
to the Rocky Mountain brewery and
soaked him for three days, until his
system would hold plain pint cock
tail without oozing through and spoil
ing his shirt. Awful dry, Gus, wasn't
I?'' Ira was wont to remark, as he
would again disappear in tie brewery
vat and lower the same about six fin
gers. After Ira had recuperated and
became accustomed to his new paradise,
Gus ordered him to take the carriage
and drive the family to COloradO's Spa
-Manitou-which Ira did most
willingly, remaining several days
and enjoying mountain life and
trout with Zest and appetite. Re-
curing about $4,000, Hansbrough drew
his personal check on a Pueblo bank,
but in which at the tims he had no
funds, but expecting to meet it with a
payment that was promised him that
same evening on a real estate deal,
and which he promptly received, CIV
ing the money 10 the trusty Ira, and
bidding him HE himself at once to
Pueblo and bank the wealth against
the check. Ira hied and banked. But
first he got roaring drunk and then put
the money in faro bank! His SOLDERING
up period brought remorse and con-
viction that Gus would kill him on
sight, so to get his precious carcass out
of troubles path, he sold an option on
Gus household goods for S25, and hit
the breeze for Kansas, passing through
Rocky Ford last Saturday evening,
riding the trucks of the Santa Fe pas
senger, to keep concealed from Hans
brough, whom he imagined was upon
the train. Ira used to announce that
he would trim up a sucker" before
leaving Pueblo, and it looks sOrter that

A Mistaken Statement.

The Dickinson county delinquent
tax list is the larges. We have seen for
years. The people generally manage
by hook or crook to get the most of it
satisfied before the sale which will
come off this year Sept. End Herring
ton Times.
The Dickinson county delinquent tax
list is the largest ever published
Hope Dispatch.
We do not believe our cOntempOr-
aries quoted above would Intentionally
misrepresent the actual situation of
the taxes of Dickinson county, es-
pecially when the error was likely to do
the county harm. As matter of fact
the delinquent tax list is less than it
has been for at least two years. Fur
Their back we have not the files of the
official paper to consult. In 1888 the
tax list lacked but two or three inches
of covering seven full columns of a
seven column paper. In 1889 it made
seven columns of a six column paper,
something less than the year before.
This year as seen in this issue it is
only five columns and three inches, or
considerably diminished from either of
the two preceding years. Dickinson
county is one of the most prosperous
of the counties of the state and we
hope the Times and Dispatch will cor
rect the impression which their state
ment has produced.

A drive through the country shows
one that prairie chicken shooting is al

ton regarding the game laws of Kan
sas: Prairie chickens or pinnated
grouse may be killed from September l
to January l. Quails, November l TO
January l. Sharing and trapping is
prohibited. Pursuing or hunting game
of any kind on improved or occupied
land, without consent of owner, is pro-
hibited. 1t is unlawful to catch black
mass, eroppies or wall-eyed pike except
with hook, rod and line. All other

WILL USE THE CITY HALL.
The High School Pupils to Be All
Accommodated.

|
The meeting of the city council Fri
day to consider the matter of allow
ing the use of the west rooms of the
city hall for high school purposes was
unanimous in consenting to the same.
The movement is good one and will
meet with the approval of the entire
city. The rooms will be at once fitted
up with single desks from the central
building and all the high school pupils
will be accommodated. The rooms are
handsome ones, well located and will
give most pleasant place for the ses-
sions.
The Buckeye school and the old stone
building will be abandoned and the
pupils accommodated at the central and
First ward buildings.
1t is probable that no other gentle
man principal will be elected. Two
ladies will have charge of the high
school. The taking of the high school
pupils from the central building will al
low the abandonment of one or both
the basement rooms, o desirable result.
The city schools are in most excel
lent and capable hands and the indica-
tioDs are for the most successful year
in their history during 1S90-91.

A Successful Implement.

A call at the shop of Paul & Jacobs
found them turning out the Williams
corn cutters. They can hardly do it
fast enough to supply the demand for
them from the farmers who want them
to save their corn for fodder. The
cheapness of the cutter, its durability
and simplicity, will readily commend it
to every farmer. The intrinsic value
of corn fodder for feed is so well under
stood, and the demand for it so great,
laborious, and often the procuring of
help so difficult to obtain at the proper
time the fodder should be cut, that
farmers are usually compelled to allow
the largest share to remain uncut, and
often their whole crop. Wit h the aid
of this valuable invention the diSa
greeable labor of cutting is entirely
overcome. The implement does the
cutting; the man simply stands on the
platform and gathers the stalks, as they
are cut, in his arms and when he gets
the distance of fourteen hills the horse
stops, the man steps off and places the
corn in the shock, steps back, the horse
moves on and the man gathers fourteen
more hills, and so on.
Paul 81 Jacobs are manufacturing
these machines for John Hill & Sons.
We are glad to see that they are prov
ing a success.

late for reporting, was bound over for
trial in the district court on a charge of
rape. In default of the bail fixed, ST.

the thieves break not through and
steal. He will be remembered as the
