MIR Rice's Announcement.

As will be seen in the proper column
A. W. Rice has concluded to become a
candidate for mayor of the city to fill
out the unexpired term. Nh. Rice
needs no introduction. He served as
MAYOR of the city for four years, is a
large property owner and longtime
resident of Abilene. The Office OF
mayor is by no means a sinecure. Its
possession calls for much time, money
and trouble with payment in criticisms
and glory. There are but two gentle
men at present who have indicated a
desire to hold the Office and as election
is but a little over two weeks distant
the probabilities are that there viii be
no more candidates and a choice will bt
made between Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Mat
teson.
So far as can be judged at present
the sentiment of a majority of thu
citizens is in favor of the former. H'
will receive large proportion Of TIT
ladies' voUes and that means his prob
able election.

decision in the examination of OrriT
Buchanan, Of this city, who was arrest
ed on a charge of robbing the mails

That New Arc Lamp

For three nights Ar. j. \. Mosher' S
newly invented arc lamp has been hang
ing on the corner of Third and Cedar
streets and all who have seen it pro-
nounee it pronounce it to be of much
promise. 1t certainly burns steadieI
than any are lamp heretofore placed
upon the market and for simplicity 1t
is claimed there is 20 other lamp made
that can equal it,
Mr.. Mosher is receiving inquiries
from all over the country in regard to
to the time the lamp will be ready fol
sale, and there is no doubt in the minds
of electricians flat this lamp will great
ly aid the revolution of electric arc
lighting.
In this lamp is found intensity OF
light without the least danger to human
life, which alone is sufficient to make il
one of the most popular lights known
to the world, as one can hardly pick uT
a daily paper without seeing a notice Of
some one having been killed by acci
dentally touching an electric light wire
Mr.. Mosher is a thorough electrician
and can not only make an arc lamp bui
can make an entire electric light plant
which fact can bt proven to any one
who will stop at the shops of the White
Mosher Machine Co., where such
plant can be seen running. Mr.
MosheT's skill as an inventor deserves
recognition, and we hope he will MAKE
a million out of his venture.

Sad News.

Alderman D. w. Howard received a
telegram this morning from his old
home, Gettysburg, Pa, announcing
that his mother had died and was
buried. She was about 81 years of age
and Mr.. Howard did not know that she
was in danger of immediate decease,
a fact which intensified the sorrow felt
at her death.

The Abilene REFLECTOR cant
understand how Kansas banks fai

twice as large as the liabilities. 1t i;
the character of the assets that explains
the mystery. Estate Journal.
Alderman D. W. Howard of the
Fourth ward, says he is in no contin-
gency a candidate for reelection. Il
will not take it if they will give me
$500 a year, are his words. Mr.. How
ard has worked hard for the cityls in
terests, and it is to be regretted that he
will not continue on the board.
Among the curiosities of the pro-
bate judges Office is an inventory OF an
estate which Mrs. Haskell is now copy
ing. 1t is painfully accurate. Among
other things it enumerates: l lot of
dish rags, lot old corset strings, several
old shoes, 6 coffee pots, 10 bibles, old
parasol. Nothing like attention to de-
tails.
"A large meeting of the miliers OF
Kansas was held in Topeka Saturday
to take action toward inducing the
railroads to lower the rates on wheat
and flour to Texas. The REFLECTOR
was the first paper in the state to call
attention to the matter, and we are
glad to see that a thorough waking-up
is going on.
The Kansas conference of the
Evangelical association will convene
next week at Holton, Kas. Bishop
Thomas Bowman, of Chicago, who
dedicated the new Evangelical church
few months ago, will preside. This
ends the Iabors of the present pastor,
NJ. C. Platz, on this charge, three years
being the limit Of this church.
"A Salina girl found a horseshoe
in the road the othOr day and took 1t
home with her for luck. At night,
upon retiring, she placed the shoe be-
meath the pillow with her false teeth,
and when she arose in the morning in
haste she placed the shoe in her mouth
instead of teeth and did not discover
the mistake until she returned to her
room to make up her bed.
The governor has set apart April
10th as arbor day. The Importance of
its observance cannot too often be
urged. Abilene has many trees, but
we need more. How often have tray
elers between this city and Enterprise
wished that the magnificent cotton
woods along the road near the City OF
Mills had been extended to Abilene.
1t would have been one Of the notable
drives of the state. In a few years
there may be miles Of such trees II the
proper work is done now.
The First ward voters apparently
have but one choice for the long term
member of the council from that ward
and that is their present representative,
Acting Mayor w. j. Winfield. 1t is
not saying too much to assert that no
man on the council has done more eff
fective or satisfactory work during the
pasttwo years than Alderman Winfield.
He has persistently insisted upon a
businesslike transaction Of affairs and
has performed his duties to the salts
faction of his constituency. As presi-
dent of the council he has made so good
a record that he has been urged by
many to become a candidate for mayor.
This he will not be, nor is he d 'candi-
date" for anything, but the First ward
will give him a hearty call to retain his
present place il the council.
