A BOY Loses His Balance and is Caught
n Rock.
An accident which will probably prove
fatal happened at Highwood Park, in
Weehawken, yesterday. Since the selec-
tion of this site as one of the county
parks crowds have visited it daily. The
weather yesterday caused q great many
families to visit the park and enjoy the
cool breezes on the bluff At about seven
o'clock, when the majority of pleasure
seekers were leaving the park, shrek
was heard from the direction of the
bluff 1t was soon learned that John
Strubie, a fourteen-vear- youth. of Lib
erty street, Union Hill, had wandered too
near the edge of the bluff and fallen over.
The bluff is about $50 feet high,
but is not perpendicular. The boy was
found uncon scious with his head terribly
injured, about twenty-five feet from the
top of the bluff. He was lying on the
edge of q rock and If he had rolled an
other foot he would have been dashed
into pieces.
The lad was carried in an unconscious
condition to the Office of Town Physician
Schlemm, in Union Hill. and later to his
home. HIS recovery is extremely doubt

A HOBOKEN BEAST.
He Has Spit Tobacco Juice Three
Times on Girls Dress.

Ho5oken has not an ink singer, but it
certain stories are true it has more de-
graded specimen of humanity in the per-
son of Gustav Mechler. This morning
Miss Esther Appel, a pretty and refined
Jewess, accompanied by her father, who
is a well known man, doing business at
No. 1856 Washington street, appeared be-
fore Recorder McDonough.
The young woman told the Court that
she had been prosecuted most persistent
ly by Mechler for two weeks. Whenever
he would meet her he would curl UP his
lip amp expectorate tobacco juice on her
dress. Mechler, the young woman said,
had ruined three dresses.
Last night she was on Washington
street talking to a friend when Mechler
passed. AS soon as Mechler was opposite
her he emitted mouthful of tobacco spit
on her clothing. She did not notice it at
the time and her attention was called to
1t by her friend. The dress which she
wore at the time was an expensive one
and had been badly stained. She ac-
quainted her father, who had advised he r
to make complaint.
A warrant for Mechler's arrest was is
sued and he will probably be arrested to-
day

HIRING THEIR TEACHERS.
School Districts Rapidly Engaging
Pedagogues for Next Year.

Although the annual school meeting
was held only week ago more than
half the school districts of the county
have already engaged their teachers
and soon the belated pedagOgue who
has not an iron clad contract will have
to hustle.
The usual generosity of Dickinson
county is manifest in the liberality of
wages paid and tie length of school
terms. In almost every case the teach
ers who have had experience and
proved their ability are getting $50 per
month and it is believed that the gen.
eral average of wages will be higher
than last year. This speaks much for
the county's advancement. 1t means
better schools, more educated men
and woman and more intelligent COM
munities. Dickinson county leads the
state in her country schools and her
people take pride in keeping the stan
card high.
The following are the teachers hired
so far as we have learned to today,
withthe salaries and length of term

GREEN MOUNTAIN FALLS, Colo,
Aug. A more happy and cOntented
company of moTtals never existed than
the Abileneites VINO are enjoying the
cool mountain breezes in this delight
full spot at the foot of Pixies Peak.
There is;a good company of us, ten jim
all, and with the many friends we have
found there is no end of social pleas
ures.
We are all safely housed and tented
at this resort, Is miles from Manitou
and three from Cascade Canon. Green
Mountain Falls is not at all fashiona-
BILE like Manitou but it is just the
place for the Bohemian life we enjoy
living. Our expenses are compare
lively nothing. Each Individual puts
dollar in the common fund when
ever the necessities demand it and al
though we have been here ten days
the fund has not yet been depleted the
second time,
The surroundings are such as can be
adequately described only by general
passenger agent of railway company.
We are 5000 feet above the sea level
and tented at the Immediate foot of Mt.
Esther which towers 10000 feet higher.
l walked to the summit of Pixies Peak
last Friday and returned Saturday.
Next time 1 60, if ever, shall ride. 1
found walking to be poor economy.
After six years of unbrOken life on
the plains it is relief to see a little
land stood on end. The weather is
absolutely perfect. 1t is warm in the
sun during the day but it is cool
enough in the shade for a coat at all
times. The evenings are almost too
cool for comfort. 1t rains little each
day. The air is invigorating and in
spring. l find L can walk 10 to Is
miles day without exhaustion.
The girls are all enjoying the days
greatly. We all started to walk down
to Cascade a few days ago and the
young ladies were sure they could
stand it. Half way was enough, how
ever, and a mule team coming along
they prevailed on the driver to allow
them to ride.
Our party as at present constituted is:
Misses Gleissner, Stewart, Hoisington,
Wilson, Lewis, Mr.. and Mrs. T. E.
Dewey and daughter, W. D. MoultOn,
Levi Humbarger. All are so charmed
with the outing that predict that

Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
NAVARRO, aug. ga nice shower
Sunday which will freshen up the grass
but most of the corn will not be bene-
lited by it.
With all our discOuragements we
certainly have a great deal to be
thankful for. Although the dry
weather has spoiled the corn, there
never was a more favorable time to
thresh and take care of the wheat and
there is no sickness to speak of.
The present price of wheat seems to
suggest that the wheat crop this year
will be worth as much in cash to the
farmers as was realized last year from
both wheat and corn.
Wheat is generally yielding twenty
bushels per acre, but one man insists
that his wheat went thirty-tWo bushels.
Last fall he sowed 80 acres, and now
he has threshed the product of the
same field and had $50 bushels. Queer,
isn't it?
