The Sixth Ward Enumcrator.

HELENA, June 21.-To the editor of The

word in reply.

given to enumerators at the beginning.
visited each and every residence, tent and
lodging house, and enrolled the names of
every single individual who was making
that his home. The law requires only one
visit to each house by the enumerators,
when they are authorized to gather the re-
quired information from the then most
available source. Yet in the Sixth ward
made three and at times four visits, when
the persons were almost stranges to their
neighbors and the answers incomplete. In

composed SO largely Of those men who have
no fixed place of abode. but who
occupy the different lodging, houses,

even three times our allotted time. This
being true it naturally follows that many
are upon our lists without their personal
knowledge, and a word from few of these
Is not, by any means, conclusive evidence
that the enumeration was not thoroughly
taken. For two days after the completion
of the work the reports to the supervisors
were kept open in readiness so that any who
might think themselves missed could re-
port and be enrolled. No one came, and
the papers have been forwarded according
to instructions.
The people of this ward. almost without
exception, found to be courteous. l had
no difficulty in gaining admittance, and the
business in hand was treated with the ut

The original package house has not
re-opened, the manager having gone to
Topeka to receive further orders. Sa-
lima made it so hot for Ferd Helm, the
millionaire proprietor Of the brewery
which is backing the denominations,
that he walked and drove from that
city to Solomon to take train, in so
much of hurry was he to escape being
put in Jail. Abilene has spared harsh
measures so far, but if the rascals re-
turn to this city and attempt to infict
their abominatiOn on Abilene, they
should be given a reception that will
forever keep them at distance.

its place of rest for final disposal or
use and is commodity in the city of
Abilene. 1t might continue in that
condition for year or two years, or
only for a day. 1t has become a part
of the general mass of property of the
state of Kansas. 1t is subjected to
no discrimination in favor of goods
which are the product of Kansas, it is
treated in exactly the same manner as
such goods are treated; and as such is
amenabIe to all the laws of the state.
The Iowa case just decided does not
determine that man can come into
Kansas and sell in violation of Kansas
laws, even IN original packages, and
the poor, deluded wretch who imagines
that it does will find himself behind
the bars on short notice.
Justice Bradley i'll this Louisiana
case says that the original package,
upon its arrival in the state, has
reached its destination as an import
and at once becomes part of the COM
mon mass of the property of the state.
We believe it to be the duty of every
court in the state of Kansas to impris-
on and fine every man who sells orig
inal packages in this state without first
complying with the laws of the state,
and we have no doubt that when the
case reaches the United States supreme
court it will adhere to the decision
made in the case of Brown VS.. Houston.

BradshaW-Crary.

A pleasant wedding party met Tues
day evening at the home of A. NJ. Crary,
editor of the Harrington Times, in
Harrington, the occasion being the mar
riage of Miss Mabel Clare CraTy, only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Crary, and
Charles Bradshaw, of Hope, the Rev.
S. E. Belts officiating. There were
present many guests from Harrington,
Hope and Abilene and all enjoyed the
evening most heartily. There were
showered upon the young couple
numerous valuable presents as well as
abundant good wishes for life of hap
piness and prosperity.
The bride resided in this city with
her parents for some years, is gradu-
ate of the Abilene high school and has
recently filed most successfully the
position of teacher in the Harrington
schools. She has many friends here
who will extend earnest congratula
tions. Mr.. Bradshaw is one of Hopes
prosperous young business men and is
also well-known in Abilene.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradshaw sensibly dis
penSed with the stereotyped wedding
tour and are at home in a cosy resi-
dence in Hope which was prepared TO
their occupancy. The suspicious be
ginning of their married life promises
a bright future, fortune that is EN-
inently deserved by the happy brid
and groom.

HANDSOME APPOINTMENTS.

Elegant Furnishings and Fine Ar
rangements of the Miller House.
Abilene has not for a long time seen
a greater transformation than has
taken place in the making of the old
Midland hotel into the new and elegant
Miller house. Mr.. S. w. Miller, late of
Topeka, has had large force of work
men engaged in the retitting for some
weeks and has now one of the best ap-
pointed hostelries in central Kansas.
The greatest change has been the
placing of the Office and dining room
on the first floor. Both rooms are
handsomely papered and decorated in
the latest style by S. w. Guist and are
very attractive. The dining room seats
Ga persons and is bound to be famous
alike for its airiness and the quality
of the meals served. H. Wibralski,
formerly of the Coates house, Kansas
City, is chef and he is assisted by the
well-known John Shannon in the su-
perintendence of the kitchen.
An entire new set of furniture was
purchased today from Upshaw's for the
rooms of the upper floor and nothing
will be spared to make the entire es-
Enlistment thoroughly first-class.
Mr.. Miller is a model host, genial
and thoroughly conversant with his
business, and is being favored with a
good patronage from the start. Stu
ated near the depot and attractive in
all its arrangements, the Miller house
is sure to become a favorite with the
travelling public.
