A Probable Santa Fe Extension.

A special 10 the Abilene REFLECTOR
from Manchester, Dickinson county,
revives tie Santa Fe project to extend
its line westward from this city through
Junction City and north Dickinson to
that place when it would connect with
two branches of its road. The dispatch
states that The Santa Fe will purchase
a section OF land adjoining the town
site of Manchester, and that the con-
templated improvements Indicate the
extension above mentioned.
1t is only q question Of time-aud
possibly brief time-when the Bur
Iingame branch will be extended 10 a
union at some point with the western
branches of the Santa Fe. In this way
some revenue wnuid be derived, where as
the branch il ;.2w self supporting.
Originally il was intended that the
Buriingame read should follow the
route over which, the Rock Island was
afterwards constructed, but various
things prevented the consummatiCn If
this project. We would not be sur
priSed if Tie Santa Fe did, within d
year or two. Just @Eat the Manchester

a VERY WICKED WIFE.
She Tried to Put Her Hush md in an Insane
Asylum, But Failed.


Asylum, But Failed.
The Vicstnik of Riga reports that
early in June there arrived in Riga DR..
L., with his wife, from st. Petersburg.
The doctor was of feeble health, and by
the advice of his wife intended to spend
the summer in MariOnhoffer, in Du-
belna. The pair stopped at hotel in
Riga. Mrs. L., who has an old widowed
sister in that city, very often absented
herself from the hotel. Every now and
then she tried to draw the hotel waiter
into her confidence, and to persuade
him to testify that her husband was
noisy, and that he treated her badly.
But the waiter would not, since he had
never noticed such department on the
part of the doctor. One day she came
in a carriage to the hotel accompanied
by a stranger, whom she introduced to
her husband as an old friend, who
would take them for q drive in
the suburbs. The doctor refused
to take a drive. The stranger
made a sign in the window, and two
strong men appeared, who wanted to
take him forcibly to the carriage. At
the noise that enSued the proprietor Of
the hotel came in with two Of his clerks.
The stranger told him that he was the
superintendent of an insane asylum,
and that he had come to take the de-
mented doctor into custody. But he was
not allowed to do this. Notice was sent
to the police headquarters A captain
and two men soon appeared, and instead
of the poor doctor his scheming wife
and the superintendent of the insane
asylum were arrested. On examination
it was found that the doctor was per-
fectly sane, and that his wife and sister
in-law were planning to put him IN an
insane asylum with view of getting
possession of his property. The most
curious feature of the story is that the
wife of the doctor is an elderly woman,
and had lived with her husband over
forty years, and had always been treated
with great consideration. Even now
the doctor refuses to prosecute her, and
for her sake he refused to make COM
plant against her accomplish, the su-
perintendent of the asylum.

RECEIVED IN STATE.
Abilene Gives Thomas Kirby a Cor
dial Reception.

Irrespective of race, color or previous
political conditions the citizens of Alb
ilene rendered Thomas Kirby last even
ing their most cordial congratulations
upon his preferment in being put on
the democratic state ticket as candi-
date for treasurer of Kansas.
The Santa Fe train from Wichita
was two hours late but large crowd
headed by the band was in waiting

w. Z. Seeds then mounted a conven-
lent box and in his usual impassioned
manner expressed the citizens welcome
to Mr.. Kirby, assuring him that Abb
lene was unanimous in congratulations
and good wishes. Then with a hope
fulness that was truly inspiring when
considered in the light of 49, 900 repub-
lican majority he predicted Mr.. Kirby's
and Mr.. NicholsOn's election.
A line of march was then taken up,
banners and transparencies being car
ried between the carriages. Notices
such as Dickinson county will give
/ 900 majority for Kirby" "Resubmis-
sion and Robinson" ETC., were on the
canvas.
At Mr.. Kirby's handsome residence
an hour or more was spent in c0nver-
satiOn. nearly a. many republicans as
democrats being present. The band
discoursed music and the crowd went
home leaving SIR. Kirby feeling well
satisfied with the honor paid him by
his friends and neighbors.

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN.

When the sun goes down
And across the fading lea
Like the grooming of mother,
Comes the murmur Of the sea,
The golden clouds Of sunset
Change to sober, restful brown,
And soft Peace unfurls her mantle
When the sun goes down.
When the sun goes down,
And from out the glowing West
The evening breeze comes signing,
Like whisper from the blest.
Come the little ones, awearY,
Clinging TO their mothers gown.
And they nestle IN her bosom
When the sun goes down
when the sun goes DOWN.
Cries the toiler DER the sea,
Sweet thoughts, by labor banished,
Will came trooping back to me,
And the smiles of those who love me
Take the place Of duty's frown,
For in dreams shall be with them.
When the sun goes down"
When the sun goes down
The ills Of life recede;
flushed is the voice Of evil,
And the selfish cry Of greed;
Then, happy homevard footsteps
Echo through the quiet town,
And rest comes to the weary,
When the sun goes down.
When the sun goes down
On this busy life for aye,
Perhaps the night that follows
Will be better than the day.
o, may its rising shadows
Find US ready fer q crown
And the rest that surely comcth
When the sur goes down.
