Harvest Outlook.

This week has seen many harvesters
at work throughout the county, thresh-
ing will commence at once and then
will come the tales of big yields of
wheat. From all parts of the county
records of favorable crop outlooks are
given. The following items are taken
from our county exchanges:
Harvesting has commenced, and the
wheat is reported to be better than
last year. Manchester Sun.
Just as some of the most apprehen-
sive of our farmers were beginning to
fear the possibility of hot winds and
dry weather, a splendid rain came
down and washed them all away. The
corn is in splendid condition and the
prospects for a magnificent crop is al
most assured Enterprise Indepen-

MOULTON is REELECTED.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Sc
LECTS A SUPERINTENDENT.
Miss Miller, of Indiana, Chosen As
sistant Principal-Teachers Will
Be Selected in July Board of Ex-
aminers- Business Transacted.

The board of education met last
evening pursuant to adjournment and
reelected Prof. w. D. Moulton super
intendent of schools for the coming
year. 1t has seemed almost impossible
to get the members of the board to.
gether since the present organization
entered upon its work. Mr.. Stoddard
is in New York and Mr.. Baker has
been in New Mexico. However, last
evening nine members we're present,
and on the first ballot with full vote
Supt. MoultOn was elected. The sal
airy was fixed at $1,000, that amount
being the same as last year, when it
was reduced from 81, 500.
We believe that the board, as well as
Mr., Moulton, is to be congratulated
upon the result of the election. The
schools have already been conducted
one year by the newly-elected superin-
tendent and although he had grievouS
difficulties in the way of prejudice to
work against his success has merited
the endorsement given.
The examining board for the ensuing
year will consist of Prof. Moulton, } .
S. Ford and T. E. Dewey, there being
no change from last year.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL.
Upon the recommendation of the
committee on schools, rules and regu-
Iations, Miss Anna Miller, of Jefferson
vile, Ind, was chosen assistant prin-
cipal to succeed Miss Wilder. Miss
Miller is highly recommended. She
was educated at Bedford and after
ward took normal work at Lebanon.
During the last five years she has been
doing high school work at Jefferson
vile, Ind.
TEACHERS TO BE SELECTED.
At the July meeting teachers will be
chosen. Right here we desire to say
to the board of education that the city
should have so far as possible ex-
perienced teachers. We can afford to
pay for good work and are entitled to
receive it. With very few exceptions
the schools of this city have never had
the benefit of teachers with profess
sional training. We believe in pat
ronizing home talent, but there is to be
considered as well the welfare of a
thousand children and a thousand
homes and it is a false economy not to
employ the most skilled and best
trained educators. Especially should
care be taken in selecting primary
teachers. Let the salaries be raised
and let the best possible work be Sc
cured. The expense can be afforded
and in the end it will be economy.

Heck Curtis makes a pathetic plea
in the Chapman Courier that he may
be laid to rest on Indian hill, just west
of Chapman. Life must be good
deal of burden to a man when he gets
so discouraged that he wants to be
buried in the midst of lot of greasy
redskins.
Owing to the extreme warm wealth
er it has been thought best to defer the
rendition of the Cantata which our
musical people have been rehearsing,

surprised than any one else and author
lied us to state that not only was the
report absolutely false but he had not
the remote5t idea of entertaining such
a proposition. DR.. Felty's practice is
too large to allow of any such move.

BONDS REPUDIATEO.
THE COUNCIL DECLARES THE
FUNDING BONDS VOID.
City Treasurer Instructed Not to
Pay the Semi-Annual Interest
Which is Due July 1st Five Thou
sand Dollars Involved.

The special session of the city coun-
ell held Monday to discuss the bond
matter was attended by all the men,
hers except Sherwood who is out of the
city.
After the call to order the petition
for the meeting was ordered spread on
the minutes after which the funding
bonds issued in 1855 were discussed by
all present and by the city attorney.
Finally on motion of Hendricks
seconded by Metzger the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the City treasurer be
and hereby is instructed not to pay the
semi-annual interest falling due July
!, 1889 on funding bonds Nos. ], 2, 3,4,
5, 6, Z, ., 8 and 10, issued July 2, 1888,
the same being the bonds pretended to
have been issued by the city to fund
bonds known as the gas bonds, for the
reason that said bonds are void.
Ayes Metzger, Folk, Shane, Keel,
Armitage, Reed, Hendricks; absent
Sherwood.
WHAT THE BONDS ARE.
The bonds referred TO are for $500
each. making $1,000 worth in all.
There were issued at the same time
So, 900 i'll funding bonds numbered
from IL to Is, the whole $4,000 being
in one issue. The grounds upon which
the gas bonds are declared by the city
attorney to be void are two. First the
state statutes says that the bonds for
the developing natural resources can
be issued only upon vote of majority
of the voters of city or county so vot-
ing and while the gas bonds received
majority the ballots cast at the cleo
ton it is claimed that they did not re-
ceive the sanction of a majority of all
the voters of the city. Then the su-
preme court has made decision re-
garding such gas bonds which it is
thought makes invalid those voted here
and it is held that funding bonds can
not be issued to fund an indebtedness
which did not legally exist.
The bonds, however, have been sold,
the money used in the various wells
dug in Abilene's suberbs and interest
on them has been kept up until the
present time. 1t will now be in order
to test their legality, an action which
is rendered necessary by the councils
resolution. The higher courts will
have to decide the question.

The Gas-Prospecting Project.

Concordia is arranging to put 81 800
into an experiment to see what is be-
meath the city and proposes to dig a
2,000-foot hole. Abilene has three
mis-called gas wells which it will sell
cheap. 1t also has some good advice
which it will give away. That is:
Don't. Nine thousand dollars has been
expended by this city and we have
nothing to show for it but the three
holes aforesaid. Whether it has been
owing to the incompetency of the con-
tractors or not it has certainly resulted
in the waste of money invested. Half
of the time the tools have been stuck
in the wells and no hole has been sunk
beyond about 200 feet. We are in
formed that the money is now gone
and no more drilling will be done
There was sufficient cash to have put
down a 3,O00-fOot hole, and if this had
been done no one would have found
fault even if nothing was struck As
it is, the whole matter has been worse
than failure. Concordia had best go
slow

HOPES sLuGa1Na CONTEST.
A Three-Round Battle Fought on the
Pair Grounds.
SD scial to HE REFLECTOR.

| Special to The REFLECTOR.
HOPE, June 2O.-The much looked
for glove contest was witnessed by
large crowd of spectators at the fair
grounds last night. The principals
were S. A. Bennington, barber of this
place weighing about 40 pounds, while
the other, Simon Rasler, railroad
man, is well muscled and built in pro-
portion, weighing 200 pounds and who
claims the championship of Colorado
and Kansas as heavy slugger. The
fight was a one-sided affair and in
Rasler's favor from beginning to the
finish. Only three rounds were
fought, darkness putting an end to the
battle. At the end of the second round.
however, Bennington was weak and
fell to the ground at nearly every blow.
Eight ounce gloves were used.
Neither of the contestants are severely
hurt, but it is reported Bennington had
a rib broken.
HOPE, June 22.-Warrants were
sworn out yesterday by Jacob May, of
this city, for the arrest of S. A. Ben
ningtOn and Simon Rasler, the princi-
pals of the recently-fought glove con-
test. The men are charged with prize
fighting, which Is violation of Kan
sas law. Deputy Sheriffs Ellison and
May served the warrants last night and
took their prisoners to Abilene and
placed them behind the bars, where
they will undoubtedly remain until
after preliminary trial, bail being re-
fused them.
