MOREC COUNTY STATISTICS.
INTERESTING POINTS IN DICK
INSON'S PROGRESS.

Prosperity of the Farmers of the
County-Acreage of Grain Sown-
Railroad Valuations Carefully Ar
ranged.
The REFLECTOR takes pleasure IN
again being the first paper in the coun-
ty to present the statistics of Dickin-
sons growth collected by County Clerk
Bert since last week from the assessors
reports.
The figures given are encouraging
and show that in material progress
Dickinson county is more than holding
her own. The years through which
Kansas has recently passed have been
too severe for a complete reformation
to be made in one season, but the past
twelve months have been well improved
by the people of this county and the
indications are for an unexampled adj
vance during the coming season.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
The number of acres of winter wheat
sown last fall was 6S,685. This is
nearly 81 900 acres more than was re-
ported the previous year. There were
2, 1853 acres of rye, l AIS spring wheat,
121 ,O21 corn $4,000 acres less than q
year ago), 1859 barley, 32,51S oats, 9O2

The diaries produced 1855 pounds
of cheese and 462 1867 pounds of butter,

acres. There are in the orchards bear

cherry 3O,711. Of small fruits: Rasp-
berries % acres, blackberries So, straw
berries 26, vineyards $50. 1t will be

gallons of wine were made last year.

sold was $69,2OS. Of honey 1915
pounds were produced. There are
about 800 acres of artificial forest.

to say 5000 are utterly and hopelessly |

ton of the railroad mileage in each

Alderman Cassidy Refuses to Let Up on
Alleged Speak-Easies.
The prosecution of Patrick McDonough
a saloon keeper at No. 20 Penn avenue, by
Patrick O'Donnell, who lives at the Point,
is stirring up anew the First ward conflict
between the rival factions there The suit
appears to be result of the recent bitter
contest between Alderman Cassidy and
Councilman Donahoe. The information
against McDonough, charging him with
selling liquor to minors. was made Thurs
day afternoon. The hearing was set for 4
o'clock Yesterday afternoon.
Before the hour for the hearing arrived,
Alderman Cassidy said that he had heard
that certain persons, at whose identity he
strongly hinted, had been calling on the
witnesses or sending other persons to them.
trying to induce them not to appear against
Mr.. McDonough, He said that if the wit
nesses did not appear he would not dis
charge the defendant, but would set another
time. He did not mean to see Justice
thwarted by any crooked methods, if he
could prevent it.
AT 4 o'clock Mr.. McDonough was present,
but no witnesses appeared, although the
Alderman waited liberal time. The sase
was continued for one week. Afterwards
Alderman Cassidy said: "Persons connected
with the city government sent word to
ODonnell to withdraw the charge. l will
not allow it to be DONE"

MYSTERIOUS DAMAGE TO BAGGAGE.
The Jefferson Florence Compnny's Propert,
Evidently in n Railroad Fire.

The Jefferson. Florence Company's Property
Evidently in n Railroad Fire.
Those of the audience at the Grand Opera
House on Thursday night who are in meas
ure conversant with the conventional cos
tuning of "The Rivals" may have noticed
that on several occasions jefferson, Florence
and several others of the cast were minus
hats, canes, etc., when circumstances seemed
to warrant these little details. Their absence
was not the result of either change of
method or neglect as far as can be under
stood, but of rather mysterious accident to
the baggage which must have taken place at
some point on the Nypano road. When the
property man received the trunks at the
Opera House he was astonished beyond
measure to find that curious change in
their appearance had taken place since they
had left his hands at Cincinnati Black
trunks were bleached white, others were dis
colored and one was apparently scorched by
fire An examination showed that number OF
articles in the trunks had been badly dam
aged by some sort of liquid, evidently con-
tanning acid or other destructive material.
How the damage occurred is not known.
The supposition is that fire took place at
some point, and hand grenades or fire ex-
tinguishers were used upon it.
The damage is not very great, but how
and when it occurred has been kept so quiet
by the railroad people that the management
Of the Jefferson-Florence Company are
thinking seriously of bringing suit against
them for the loss.
