of one volume year DHri5sg the
speculation era OF iS3l-lS3S the in
crease was one yolunie a month. In
1865 the recorded deeds filled 800 vol
umes, just one-balf their present
number At the time of the boom OF
1872 q new volume of deeds was be-
gun and finished every ten days. In
1880 sixteen more volumes were added
to the already crowded shelves. These
figures do not include the mortgage
records, which number $50 volumes.
THE INDEXES.
The records are digested by means
Of name index. The deeds made by
the city of Newark number $500, so
that the conyeyancer who wishes to
search the records against am AQueduct
Board lot or Clinton hill lot needs
intimate patience and application in
undertaking the task.
There is no way to determine the
gross annual sum spent for conveyance
ing in the county. Various estimates
have been made, the lowest which
place the figure over 100000. Various
schemes have been devised to reduce
the expense and to facilitate real es-
tate transactions. Large corporations
have been partly successful in Phla-
delphia and New York in sharing the
profits ofsconveyaneing. 1t is believed
that no permanent relief may be ex-
pected from corporate influence.
THE BLOCK SYSTEM.
An improved plan not yet adopted
in Essex county is to record and index
allreal estate transactions by reference
to maps, and to group all entries by
block and lot numbers. This rule, If
fully applied, would secure cheapness.
accuracy and despatch. The pnr-
chaser could be fully protected, for
there could be no tax or assessment
lien, no attachment or execution
under a Judgment, until the entry was
first made in the Registers Office.
Under the present practice it is
necessary to examine the records in
the office of three courts in Trenton.
the City Hall. and sometimes in the
Office of the County Road Board, be-
sides the county records, before the
purchaser has any security in his
title. The present scheme grew up
partly by accident and partly under
the influence of practical politics.
Land is now commodity and
should be dealt with as any other
commodity.

Buried.

In Hayes township, north of De-
troit, Yesterday morning between the
hours of 8 and 8 o'clock large crowd
convened at the home of Rev. ID. II.
Brechbill to pay the last tribute OF
respect to his deceased wife. The pro-
cession left the house at a. m. Owing
TO the illness of J. H. Brechbill, brother
to ID. H., the procession halted at his
residence and the corpse was carried
to his bedside for the last view; after
which the procession again proceeded
to Bethel church, where large con-
gregation had already gathered, there
being in all about 800 people, $50 OF
whom we're relatives.
The services were conducted by
Elder Samuel ZoOk, assisted by Rev.
Noah Zook and Rev. Eli Martin. An
appropriate text was taken from
Matthew XIII, %: "Well dole, thou
good and faithful servant; thou hast
been faithful over few things, L will
make thee ruler over many things.
Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord, ="
and was the basis of an ably-delivered
sermon. The occasion was solemn
one.
The deceased left kind husband,
four children, father, mother and many
dear friends to mourn her departure.
The loss of so kind wife and devoted
a mother has caused an aching void
not to be filed Oy man. The bereayed
have the sympathies of all acquainted.

THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE HOUSE
DECAMPS.

souri-A Suggestion to the Mayor.
From FRIDAYS Daily.I


The original package nuisance has
loaded its beer and whisky Into a box
car and shipped it back to headquarters
in Kansas City. About o'clock last
evening the quondam manager, Harry
Douglass, received a telegram from
Ferd Helm to pull out, and by night he
had every bottle of the stuff in the
store loaded into box car and ready
for shipment home. No more
COMPLETE FIZZLE
ever was seen in Abilene than the
original package house. From the
moment of its inception until the last
vestige of its material disappeared
behind the eastern horizon last night
on its way to poor, old rum-cursed
Missouri the people of this city have
made life a burden for the manager.
1t is doubtful if during the days the
infamous institution was open enough
beer was sold to pay the houses ex-
penses.
Then County Attorney Biting came
down upon the establishment with an
injunction closing it as nuisance and
the doors have been closed for week.
They could not be opened until Judge
Foster acted on the matter and the
managers, becoming convinced that
aYen then there would be little use in
attempting to do business in the face
of an overwhelming public opinion,
gave it up.
Abilene is to be congratulated upon
its vigorous policy against
AN INFAMOUS DEN,
which, if allowed to do business, would
have been disgrace to the county and
city. Only because of the universal
deteStation has it been driven cut.
The REFLECTOR now has this sng-
gestiOn to make to the mayor and other
city officials: If there exist in this
city any other places where alcoholic
liquors are sold in violation Of the laws
of the state, do not hesitate for
moment to do your whole duty as Off
GERS and in manner not to be mistaken
CLOSE THEM UP.
Public sentiment has been expressed,
plainly enough so that he who runs
may read, in favor of a clean city,
unpOlluted by any whisky infamy, and
you will meet with the hearty support
of all the best citizens and a large ma
jority of all the citizens of Abilene if
you take prompt and severe measures
to prevent the sale of single glass of
liquor unlawfully.
We are glad the Ferd Helm institu-
ton is gone and want to see Abilene in
every respect the model city in Kansas,
as it has proved itself clean one in
being the first to get completely rid of

The abuse of the title professor"
has become so notorious that the term
has almost ceased to carry with it any
added distinction. Its application to
country school teachers and principals
is among the more ridiculous of its
uses. There are in attendance on the

work are not honored in being called

Death at Hope.

Special to TIE REFLECTOR.
HOPE, June 5.-Mrs. w. w. Kendall -,
of Oklahoma, who was brought here
last week for medical treatment, died
Yesterday morning at 6:l5. She had
been suffering for some time with a
ibroid tumor, which was removed last
Monday by Drs. Ketchersid and King,
assisted by Miles and Blesh. The
operation was one of the most critical
ever performed and the fatality in such
cases is so per cent. Rev. Kendall was
once pastor of the NJ. E. church here,
and he has many friends to sympathize
with him.

UNDER THE WATERS.
A Young Man is Drowned in Lyons
Creek,

Greek.
An unfortunate accident occurred
on Lyons creek last Sunday by which a
young man lost his life. The Herring
ton indicator relates that three Of the
Kellogg boys and William Belman AMI
brother decided to seine a portion!of the
creek near where they lived. After
SEEMING the shallow water for time
they undertook to swim across a deep
hole and pull the seine after them. In
this they failed, as they struck strong
under current which drew one of the
boys, J. Kellogg, down out of sight.
VIM. Belman who was near caught the
unfortunate boy and was himself
nearly taken down, escaped only by
getting loose from Kellogg. After
going to the bottom, young kellogg
rose almost to the surface twice, but
his friends were unable to rescue him
and he was drowned. The deceased
was the 19-year-old son of NJ. S. KEEL
logg, one of Dickinson connty's most
respected farmers, and the young man
stood high in the esteem Of all who
knew him. The funeral was held
Monday from the German Lutheran
church.
