Taken Home.

Tuesday at her home three and
one-half miles southwest of the city,
Mrs. Mary Bradfield passed from this
life into. eternity. She died at about
2 a. m, after long suffering from
paralysis. She was born in Dark coun-
ty, Ohio, Dec. 2, 1880, and hence was
nearly sixty years old. When only
years of age she moved with her pa
rents to Indiana where she passed her
young maidenhood, marrying E. w,
Bradfeld in June, 1851. Seven years
later the young couple moved to Dick
inson county where they have resided,
being among the oldest and most re-
spected residents of this section of the
state, for there are few who have lived
here SO long. Mrs. b. was the mother
of 13 chileren, seven of whom survive
her, three boys and four girls. They
mourn the loss of a kind parent and
an earnest sympathizer.

Solomon Sentinel: In the last two
issues of the Eope Dispatch, Topeka
lawyer named Bennington has lawful
occasion to fifty describe the fellow
who claims to be editor of the Hope
Hereld, for since his advent there he
has been known as the Ishmael of
Dickinson newspaperdom, and his
Kentucky billingsgate has disgraced
the profession, He thinks others must
be like himself, as he always has his
filthy paw out for s., or threatens
blackmail. The people require a con-
gresham with backbone enough to
dispense with such Fellows services in
the postal department and they voiced
that sentiment at the republican prim-
aries at Hope last week.

Abilene a Racing Center.

Solomon Valley Democrat: The ADJ
lene races last week were striking sue
cess. 1t has become settled fact that no
track in the state can equal theirs, and
no management is better. Horseman
from all quarters look upon Abilene as
the most enjoyable place and their
dates are closely watched. We under
stand that each year shows a growth
over the preceding in receipts and en-
tries. There is a harmony among the
horsemen of central Kansas which
gains force with each Abilene meeting.
Judge Culbertson, Hon. w. S. SIAM
baugh, Mr.. Geo. A. Rogers, in the Of
fees, and Roe Hollingsworth as reg
ular trainer deserve great credit for
placing Abilene at the front in matters
pertaining to the noblest of animals
at this writing we cannot except man.
Tiny Rogers was bred and
raised in Solomon. Her dam, lone land
sire, Prairie Star, are both owned IN
Solomon. She is four-year- old FLY,
weighing about 500 pounds. Last Fri
day at Abilene she won the fourth heat
in holly contested race, in 1885,. In
the first heat her time was 2:38l; il
the second heat she was a close second
in 2::341; in the third her time wa
2:363: in the fifth heat she was a close
second in 2:37!. She is credit to thu
| town, to her owners, to her sire anC
especially to her trainer. Roe Holdings

WATER TO BE ARRANGED Fol
A Receiver Appointed for the Water
works Company.

a receiver AppOluGeu lOI Gne w dGeI-
works Company.
The United States court at Topeka
yesterday appointed George A. Rogers,
of this city, receiver of the Abilene
Water s. Electric Light company, act
ing on an appeal from the holders of
the first mortgage bonds. Mr.. Rogers
has taken charge of the plant at once
and will have the management in his
hands. Consulting Engineer Pearson
is expected tonight when arrangements
will be perfected for the immediate
bringing of Sand Springs water to the
city if the contract therefor can be ar
ranged.
That the city must have water and at
once is the universal sentiment of every
good citizen of Abilene. If we do not
secure it insurance rates will be raised
on our property and the good name of
the city will suffer abroad. Now that
there is an opportunity to secure an
abundant supply of absolutely pure
water the council will be exceedingly
derelict in its duty to the city if it
does not arrange to place the city i'll
perfect condition as regards water sup
ply. The people demand and expect
it and there is feeling that we cam
not afford to lose the opportunity now
given.
The expenditure of $4,000 or $780,
600 in making the addition to the
plant, three-fOurths of which sum will
be spent in labor locally, is not to be
forgotten and we trust that there will
be no hitch or delay in the proceedings
on account of narrow and false view
of economy.

Selling for Taxes,

County Treasurer j. J. Cooper began
this morning, according to announce
ment, to sell the lands advertised for
delinquent taxes. A large proportion
of the farms are found to have been re-
deemed already and hence were not
sold. The city lots in worthless lad
ditions," which by the way made up
the bulk of this years tax list, are the
properties which go for taxes and they
bring little or nothing.

A ROW IN THE CAMP.
The Alliance Leaves the Monitor to
the "Polkites.

the "PolklteS.
The newspaper venture in which the
Dickinson county alliance embarked
when it imported a union labOrite from
Manhattan to start and run the Moni-
tor has come to an end. A large-sized
row has resulted and the poorly edited,
worse printed union labor sheet will
probably be a peoples party organ I'M
der D. G. Smiths personal manage
meDt.
A meeting of the alliance central
committee was held Saturday afternoon
and 50 Disguised we're the members
with the way the paper has been run
by Van Dyke, Southworth ct al. that
they repudiated the entire concern, and
ordered the publishing committees
names from the Monitors columns and
the alliance will have 10 more to do
with it.
The farmers of Dickinson county are
fast awakening to the ''POlkites"
schemes and do not propose to be paws
for the union laborites any longer.

A New Creamery,

The Abilene Creamery Co. has ar
ranged to open new creamery at Tai
mage next week. 1t will be of about
the size of the one at Dillon and will
handle several hundred pounds of milk
daily. The Abilene institution will as
for the Belle Spring and Dillon cream
cries be headquarters and from it all
shipments will be made. The cream
cry business is steadily growing and the
Abilene creamery is making an envi-
able record and is doing much for the
creamery interest. The shipments
from here are among the largest from
any single house in Kansas and attract
attention from all markets.

Handsome ChinaWare.

The bazaar of J. G.. Armitage, corner
of Third and Broadway, has just re-
ceived some decorated chinaware that
will delight the most fastidious. The
dinner and supper sets are as handsome
as can be found in any city and are in
the newest designs. 1t will well pay
every one in the city to step in and
look at these beautiful dishes and see
what the new styles are. A complete
line of chinaware of all kinds has been
put in and is well worth examining.

There were by actual count just fifty
four persons in the court room this
afternoon to attend the great demo-
cratic mass convention. They were
about equally divided between demo-
Gratis, republicans who were lockers on
and casual observers whose politics
we're not discernible. There was not
even so much enthusiasm as at the
ordinary democratic Obsequies IN this
county and the brethren seemed en-
tirely at a loss as to what was to be
done. For three-quarters of an hour
before opening they had stood around
in mournful array waiting for crowd
to gather, hut the people did not come
they would not mass so the leaders
finally went ahead.
The convention was called to order
at o'clock by the president Of central
committee, V. b. COsad.
T. J. Foley, of Chapman, was chosen
temporary chairman and B. l.. Strother,
secretary. Mr.. Foley called attention
to the fact that it was mass conven-
ton and on motion he was empowered
to appoint committee on permanent
organization. He drew out a prepared
slip of paper which had been properly
fixed and after little well feigned
hesitation announced the following
committee: A. NJ. German, Chas.
Coggeshall, George Laundy. Oh the
Committees advice the temporary Or
ganization was made permanent.
Mr.. Foley then tried to make a
speech. He said his feelings were
all narrowed up by the large crowd ~
present and he hoped the democratic
eagle would float from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. He had evidently got the
eagle mixed up with the native flag
but the brethren kindly overlooked 1t
and at least seven distinct but mild
hand acts were distinguishable as en-
couraging the speakers mixed meta
phor.
On motion T. F. Smith, V. B. Cosad
and Col. Gore were made committee on
resolutions. D. D. Hornaday, G. w.
Brooks, W. n. Hendricks, o. F. Scarf
and Pat Sheeran were made commit
tee to select delegates to the Concordia
and Wichita conventions, after which
action a recess was taken.

NAMES INDUSTRIES.

A Very Gratifying Progress the Past Year
A canvass shows that Maine has made
grand record in the increase of manufac-
tories, ETC., during the year. Over 200 new
enterprises have been inaugurated, in which
the capital invested amounts to nearly "a ,OO0,-
600, and which give employment to over
5000 additional workers. a noticeable Tea
ture in the returns is the great variety OF
manufactures carried on in Maine. In these
200 or so new industries were SO different

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Prof. Phelps Takes Strong Ground Against
NeprO SUFFRAGE.

Negro Suffrage.
Prof. Austin Phelps of Andoyer, Mass,
writes as follows to j. c. Hemphill, editor OF
the News and Courier of Charlestown, s, G.
/ wish to thank you for the courtesy and
candor of your criticisms on my remarks up
on Mr.. Grady's speech at the VendOme at
Boston. II 1 were able 1 should like to pursue
the subject in your columns. / should admit
some things, and it seems to me at L could
prove some other things to the satisfaction OF
such a man as yoI must be. But live with
more than one foot in the grave. 1t is seldom
that can use my pen with any force except
when / breathe the ozone Of my summer
home at Bar Harbor. i have never believed
in negro suffrage. Senator Sumner never
committed a graver blunder than in driving
the act which legalized it through Congress.
It was not an act of craftsmanship. 1t was a
furry of desperation. The only palliation is
the fact that in the struggle for its existence
the nation was brought INTO a supreme ext
gency in which everybody felt that something
must be done, yet nobody could tell anybody
what to do.
Everything which was done struck nature
blow in the face, and for that she always
gave a return blow in grand rage. We are
sure in such an encounter to get the worst of
it. That is what we are suffering to-day, and
what the end will be God only knows. l
shall not be here to see it, but it would not
surprise me if ii cost the nation more blood
than the Civil War did. The retributions of
national wrong-doing are on great scale.
You thinking men of the South have the
sympathy of every thinking man at the North.
Fifty years ago Prof. Moses Stuart Of An
dover Theological Seminary, personal friend
of Mr.. Calhoun, foresaw just the present
deadlock OF affairs, and told me that he saw
no final solution but the surrender of two or
three states to the exclusive possession of the
colored race. But have never been able to
see that Christianity cannot make two colors
in prolific races live peacefully together, as
nature adjusts colors i'm the rainbow.
