TO CONVERT THE CHILDREN.
The Sunday School Meeting Ar
ranges for County Work.

Sunday school work in Dickinson
county was the subject of last even
ing's union meeting at the opera house.
After scripture reading by Supt. j..
8. Ford and a prayer by Rev. E. d.
Walker, Mr.. w. L. DeGroff presented
the necessity of organized Sunday
school work and outlined at some
length the plans of tie Sunday School
Union in this respect. 1t was decided
to raise a sufficient sum to hire sun
day school missionary worker for the
county, to be under the guidance of the
county S. S. association. General sIb-
scrIptions were then received.
After some music under the leader
ship of DR.. NJ ii. Hewett with T.
E. Dewey at the piano, the benedictiOn
was pronounced by Rev. II. W. Hitler
and the audience was dismissed.
While the attendance was not large
owing to the storm those present were
enthusiastic in the work and took much
interest in the proceedings.
Mr. DeGroff goes to Navarro, Chap
man and Enterprise to make addresses
before leaving the county. Subscrip-
lions are being received for the county

Lost Litigation.

In the police court was decided this
morning case regarding which there
has been considerable interest excited
during the past week. On Nov. 4th
Supt. Moulton found lit necessary to
inflict corporal punishment on the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis VAIL. Al
though according to testimony the boy
had had terrific whipping at home
the night before, the parents, by the
advice of some meddling old grannies
who have been steadily employed in
trying to injure Abilene's schools,
made complaint in the police court.
For four different times the complain
ants failed to appear though Mr.. MOul-
ton was ready for trial. At last on
Thursday it was held and this morning
Judge Smith rendered decision ac-
quitting the defendant entirely. On
Tuesday the plaintiffs went to Enter
prise and brought similar suit in a
Justices court and Mr.. Moulton. max
ing no defense whatever, fine of $50
was obtained. This case has been ap-
pealed to the district court.
The whole matter is piece of fool
litigation. instigated by and growing
out of hostility to Abilene's schools
and should be condemned by every cit
IzeD. The punishment inflicted was,
as testified to by physicians who ex-
amined the boy, light and probably no
more than was deserved. The incident
will cut no figure in the progress of
Abilene's educational institutions.
Our schools are on higher plane to-
day than ever in the city's history and
Supt. Moulton is making a deserved
success.

Throwing the Dirt.

A force of 80 men is employed on
the waterworks ditch on West First
street. The ditch is being dug about
six feet deep and wide enough to re-
ceive a twelve-inch pipe. The hen are
throwing the dirt out lively and as they
are paid by the foot there is no lOiter-
ing. Another force is at work at the
springs and third at the standpipe
location on the old waterworks lot.
The work is being pushed as hard as
possible and as all the men employed
are Abileneites the laboring men of the
city are much benefited.

WOULD NOT ENTHUSE.
Abuse of ingalls, Failed to Please an
Abilene Audience.

The opera house was fairly well
filed Saturday evening at the ratiica-
ton exercises. The announcement
that Mrs. Digs, a former Dickinson
county resident, would speak attracted
many. There were bnt few farmers
present, the audience being chiefly
people from this city. The addresses
of both Mrs. Diggs and Judge PETER
were devoted to finance and ingalls,
and so unreasoning and rampant were
they that the audience utterly failed
to respond.
AS matter of fact the ''ratifica-
ton" was the tamest affair of poiiti-
cal nature which has taken place in
this city during the campaign. The
causes ought to have been apparent to
the managers of the concern. There
was really nothing to ratify. The
peoples party had played their trump
card and were only able with all the
unprecedented influences Of oath
bound secret caucuses to elect some
minor officers and FIVE congressman
who will be in a miserable minority
when they get to Washington. That
party reached its zenith on Nov. 4th,
and it not only failed to control any
thing like majority of the votes, but
with the opposition divided it actually
fell far short of enough votes to elect
a single state officer. From this time
henceforth the peoples party will be
waning. Judge PETER and Mrs. Digs
realized this in all its significance.
Hence the absence on Saturday night
of enthusiasm on the part of speakers
and audience.
The mission of Judge PETER in Abb
Iene was not to ratify past events but
to create sentiment in favor of send
ing Judge PETER to Washington.
Mis-. Diggs came to help him. But
the most unfortunate circumstance for
Mrs. Diggs was that the audience in
the opera house Saturday evening
would much prefer to see Senator In
gals go back to the senate, than such
a man as PETER. Mrs. Digs devoted
her speech to an attempted abuse of
Mr.. ingalls,. 1t fell decidedly fiat upon
the audience for two reasons: first,
because she said nothing which induced
any one to believe that Mr.. ingalls, IS
not the best equipped man in Kansas
for the United States senate; and Sc
cond,. because the audience was en-
tireiy opposed to any abuse of our
senior senator. 1t is to be hoped that
this woman will have an opportunity
10 address the citizens of Abilene
sometime in the future upon more
opportune subject and to more ap-
preciative audience.

A Pleasant W. R. G. Meeting.
pecial to THE REFLECTOR.

HERINGTON, Kas., Nov. 1.-THE
G. A. +. post and the w. r. G. corps OF
this city had very enjoyable enter
tainment and campfire at their hall on
last Saturday evening.
In the afternoon the Relief Corps
was inspected by Mrs. o. L. Moore, OF
Abilene, an assistant inspector of the
department of Kansas.
In the evening the Grand Army boys
met with the ladies in the hall. The
ladies had prepared sumptuous bas-
ket supper, and an interesting feature
of the occasion was the casting of lots
by the boys to determine with what
lady, and out of which basket he should
take supper. A regular program &C n
sisting of music, declamatiOns and
recitations contributed TO the en-
joyment of the occasion, after which
rehearsal by the old soldiers of thrill
ling, stirring and amusing incidents of
army life kept all in good humor until
the boys came near violating the Sab
bath.
Both the post and corps of this city
are in prosperous condition. A. NJ.
Crary, post commander, is the right
man for the place. He is an untiring
worker, thorough Grand Army man
and believes implicitly in the boys.
He can make as much enjoyment and
get as much fun out of campfire as
any man. The w. r. G. only crgan-
lied last spring, and has already thirty
SIX active, whole-souled members, who
are in reality as well as name proving
themselves auxiliary to the G.. a. r.
The post and the corps have rented
a fine, large and commodious hall in
which to hold their meetings and both
are in good financial condition.

plifed.
The much advertised ratification of
the people S party was on the tapis for
this afternoon. There were a number
of farmers teams in the city but hard
ly more than are seen any Saturday.
Indeed the old excitement which neryed
the workers before election seemed to
have died out and the Indifference ad-
| ded to the feeling that there was little
reason for any ratification made the
occasion rather fiat than otherwise.
The Abilene band played several
pieces on the streets after dinner and
then led the way to the opera house
where the speaking was to be held
where they discOursed several more sell
ections. The opera house was about
one-thiId full, the audience being IN
marked contrast to those which met
before Nov, 4th.
7. D. Rice presided and introduced
as the speaker Of the day the senatorial
applicant,
JUDGE W. A. PETER
who spoke for about two hours. He
recalled the fact that the peoples party
in Kansas is about four months old.
1t was only eleven days ago that it
elected man on the state ticket and a
majority of the legislature which will
| put man of its own choosing in the
U. S. senate.
The new congressman, he predicted,
will work wonders at Washington
when joined with their southern lead
ers.
In Kansas the legislature will also
work wonders unheard ola state
ment that is likely to be carried out.
He took up the question OF what it is
proposed to do. They will take up
taxation AMI make everything prosper
GUS; will examine public building
matters; viii re-adjust salaries all over
the state; interest laws are to be re-
vised; collection laws changed-in fact
there is to be
A GENERAL OvERHAULING
of the whole state. There are TO be
redemption laws passed. Our interests
rates are too high-outrageous, in fact,
though the statement does not agree
with the judges own remarks in the
Kansas Farmer. as given on our edi-
tOrial page. He then fished for a reply
to he question, "What are the fameIs
making?" Some one said Nothing"
and the judge branched out on a stere-
otyped calamity howl which again is at
variance with himself as he talks in
the Kansas Farmer.
/ We want low tariff and we are given
so per cent when we should have so or
So. He failed to remark that the Nc
K1nley bill average is % per cent.
His demand for low Tariff was again a
deadly parallel with his Kansas Farmer
talk. b large. proportion of the re-
mainder of his address was devoted ito
his fayoIite / per cent money theory
which seems to prove so attractive to
the peoples partyites and may make
the judge senator.
Mr.. PETER is pleasant and gentle
manly speaker. He is however evident
ly talking for PETER and hence his in
consistency and poor logic. There win
be another meeting tonight in the
opera house when Mrs. Anna Digs,
of Lawrence, one of the editors of the
Alliance Advocate, and Judge PETER
win speak.

EMBARRASSING.
The Cost and Profit of Wheat Pro-
ducing in Kansas and In Dickinson
County-Large Percentages on the
TnvastmenG Realized.

Secretary Mohler recently sent out a
circular to leading farmers in each
county of the state asking for informa-
ton on the cost of wheat producing
and the profit made. He received an
swers from one hundred and sixty
seven farmers, distributed through
seyenty-four counties of the state.
These show that the farmers who have
reported have had profit this year IN
wheat growing ranging from six to
over two hundred per cent. on the
money invested. Those reporting the
high percentage of profit are in the
western portion of the state, where
land is rated at from three to four dol
lars per acre. Kiowa and Haskell coun-
ties report the highest percentage OF
profit. Morton county also, the eX-
IRENE southwestern county of the state,
shows a high percentage of profit. In
Leavenworth county, with land rated
at sixty dollars per acre, profit OF
twenty-three per cent. is reported. In
Pottawatomie county, with land rated
at seventy-five dollars per acre, profit
of twenty per cent. is reported
The reports from Dickinson county
are taken from three representative
