RECENT REFLECTIONS.

Dickinson county is success as q
hOrse-prOducing center.
There is one good thing about Feb
ruary weather-it can't last only q
days.
-Thirty-seven cars of Colorado cat
tie brought here for feeding have been
shipped in this week.
Enterprise has the only frst-class
vinegar mandatory this side of Chi
cago. The people of the town do not
feel sour about it, either.
&C. C. Kreider, formerly manager
of the Continental hotel and an old res
ident of the city, is seriously i'll at his
residence on north Buckeye.
On account of ill-health. Miss Ella
Thornton has resigned her position as
teacher in the city schools. Miss Mar
garet Wilson is her successor.
The Union Pacific took one car of
horses to st. Louis yesterday and four
cars Sunday night. Dickinson county
can furnish horse power for the world.
-HirSch & Co. have papered and re-
fitted their store room occupied by the
Benefit in a way that reflects credit
upon their taste. 1t is now one of the
handsomest in the city and will attract
attention for its neatness.
Every other man in Abilene has
already made up his mind to attend
the world'sfair in Chicago. One young
man puts every ten-cent piece that
comes into his possession in an old
stocking and calls it his worlds fair
fund.
John Wilson in the Logan County
(Colo.) Advocate comes to the front
with a long. article on the killing of
Tom Smith here in the early '70's, en-
tirely contradicting the REFLECTOR
historian and giving different version.
AS we haze, since the article in ques-
ton appeared in this paper, inter-
viewed seven old-timers and each has a
different account to give-all different
from ours or Wilson's-we are con-
WINGED that all people do not see with
the same pair of eyes.

Wa -hdG Wuen sne HULL Uon'
.nfield Scott Stambaugh visited To-
peka last week some son of a gambOlier
stole his high, shiny, silk hat from the
hat rack of the Throop. To say that
STAN was mad is but family express
ing it. He searched in vain for the
thief and finally, as be needs that kind
of a hat in his business went into
a Kansas avenue store to buy another.
He made several trials and at last
seemed suited with glossy s. beaver,
when he spoke to the clerk, "yOu make
allowances for the cloth, do you 1ot?''
The clerk glanced doubtingly at the
persuasive face and melancholy lips OF
his customer, but was in moment re-
assured when he felt the pious depth Of
those benevolent eyes.
Yes SIR" he said, "we allow one
dollar off to clergymen. You may
have the hat for seven dollars"
Thank you," was Mr.. Stambaugh'i
mild and gentle acknowledgment; ''but
don't you think the hat just trife toC
fy-ahem, too fashionable, as it were
too stylish, go to speak. My brethren
might disapprOve."
"Oh, not at ALL the clerk wa
prompt to say. "It looks quite sedate
very becoming"
"Ah, We'll, will take it at all haz
yards" sighed STAN, counting out tn
requisite bills, land if rnY congregation
don't like it they can go to -"
The clerk swooned and the distin
guished purchaser coOlly lighted a ciga
and strolled up to the capitol.
