GEN. MAEoNE's recent order proni0'tins
his party from running candidates for the leg-
islsture this fall doesn't seem to be agreeable
to aspiring republicans In republican ana
close counties, and some of them are openly
talking about dlsobeying 1t. Such is the
case In Henry, Chesterfield, Powhatan, and
other counties, the voters OF which are nearly
evenly divided. But, In view OF the way in
which the General last fell slaughtered
Bowden, Browne and Langston, who DISC
beyed similar order, 1t would be wiser II
republicans who have desire to 90 to the
Legislature would postpone efforts to grati'y
1t uasl! General Malone be deposed from
his place as chairman OF their State COM
mittee and the recognized head of their par
ty in the State. And this lie the condition to
which The Virginia republican party has been
brought by subjeotlng Itself to the arbitrary
cou,rol o! q man who quit the democratic
,ty because 1t was too wise to nominate
I CO for Governor, and who has furnished
the honor and destroyed the credit OF Vir-

~ do not believe that any third party will
be heard from south of the Mason aud Dixon

into 1t by working the party machinery In

A Putin Job.


John j. Berry who returned from
Texas a few days ago left last evening
for Alton, Ills, to see Mr.. Chas. II.
Hapgood in connection with their land
and cattle business both in Kansas and
Texas. Mr., Berry has met with much
success in Texas and has only been
able to make short stay in Abilene
this time. The complete vindication
of the Berry Bros. Mercantile Co. in
the FOy matter is pleasing to the men,
bers of the firm but nevertheless caused
some annoyance while it lasted. The
facts of the case were briefly these:
The confession" of VIM. Foy, a pris-
oner in the city Jail, stating that he
burned the Berry block and duplicating
members of the firm as abetters in the
matter, came out Feb. 9Th and made
considerable excitement. The Re-
FLECToR gave the story at the time
as news stating that there were rumors
of crooked doing at the time of the
Berry blocks burning. While that
was true it will be remembered that
the insurance companies investigated
the fire for sixty days and were COM
pletely satisfied that everything was all
right and paid the insurance in full.
When Foy's examination came up he
completely tangled himself in his evil
dence and showed that he had been
drunk when he made the so-called
confession and was Influenced by other
tramps who were in Jail with him.
When the case came up for trial the
man denied everything and the case
was dismissed by the judge as a petty
piece of persecution on the part of
Berry Brothers enemies. The whole
matter as soon as Foy's character and
that of his associates was known was
considered as aput-up job and without
the slightest foundation. Foy has
disappeared and his fool "breakn win
nov be forgotten.

TWO MORE PAPERS.
Abilene Will Soon Have Seven
Lively Journals.

Abilene Will Soon Have Seven
Lively Journals.
The newspaper business is not likely
to become obsolete in Abilene for want
of new ventures. In addition to the
four weeklies and one daily already
here there will soon be two more which
will attract public attention. They
are both religious in character and will
give no attention to politics. One of
these is the Evangelical Visitor, a
weekly paper published in the interest
of the River Brethren church. 1t has
been published at White Pigeon, Mich,
for some years but the church has
decided to locate it here. The editor,
II. Davidson, is here arranging for
getting out the next number. The
paper is the organ of the church and
has large list of subscribers.
The Trinity Lutheran Herald, a
monthly church paper, edited by Rev.
w. l., Seabrook, will soon issue its
first number. 1t will be more than
local in its scope covering all north
west Kansas and being the organ Of the
Lutheran synod, Mr.. Seabrook is
forcible and able writer and will make
the Herald interesting for all.
The REFLECTOR welcomes the Visi-
tor and Herald and wishes them both
much success.

Institnt.a Inklinps-

The third day Of the institute showed
an increase of only one in the list of
attendants, there being now II en-
rolled. The work is getting well under
way and all are taking lively interest
in the proceedings.
Supt. VanDyke acts as secretary of
the institute and checks up tardinesses
and absences regularly.
The dicipline of the institute is not
difficult to enforce but if any trouble
occurs Instructor Gaines will be chosen
to handle refractory students. His 1856
pounds and six feet of avoirdupois is
calculated to win for him a very
healthy respect even from those who
may be too dull to appreciate his intel
lectual ability.
The reading class under Prof. Gaines
is doing excellent work. He is a
thorough elocutionist and conducts a
valuable drill.
The teachers working for first grade
certificates are doing good work in
Prof. Wines philosophy and book
keeping classes. Mr.. Wine will return
to the State University this fall 20
complete his course of study, having
piled up innumerable ducats by teach
ing during the past two years.
W. NJ. Campbell is doing the paper
agent act and takes subscriptions for
the Institute and School Journal.
There will be lectures by Profs.
Gaines and Chichester during the term.

FIGHTING FACTIONS.
All Is Not Serene in the Peoples
Party Camp.

Party Camp.
There is no serenity in the alliance
ranks just now. The time honored
motto that the Office should seek the
man has taken tumble and there is
something like half the members of the
members of the order chasing down
offices. Last Saturday the central
committee took action on the names
submitted by the various alliances for
nomination and found more candidates
than there were alliances. They re-
manded all the names to the alli-
ances for another decision but there
has arisen grOwl of dissatisfaction.
The kickers allege unfair action,
'jobs" and wire-pulling and have
called another convention for next
Saturday when there is anticipated a
lively monkey and parrot time. The
brethren seem to be greatly worried
over the matter and attempt to keep it
quiet but enough has leaked out to
promise lot of fun, Great is reform!

BRIDGE BOND TALK.
The Council Discusses the Latest
Subject of Interest.

SUBJECT OF interest.
The matter of the settlement of the
bridge bond controversy between Grant
township and the city of Abilene bids
fair 70 loom up as the next subject for
the council to handle. Last evening at
the council meeting ]. H. Mahan as
attorney for the township addressed
the board and wanted satisfaction at
once. No official action was taken but
the council will look over the matter
with the township trustees and take
action at the next meeting. The sum
which Abilene is asked to assume will
probably amount to nearly $4,000.
The council ordered two new side
walks. One is from A street on the
east side of Cedar to the north side of
Second; the other on tie north side of
north Seventh out into east Abilene.
There was the usual large grist of
bills allowed, nearly all being for street
work, though our streets remain in
pretty much the same undrained and
rough condition as ever.
A committee consisting of Cosad,
Dunlap, and Metzger was appointed to
make an estimate in the approximate
cost of the drainage system proposed
last week by Mr.. CoWles. The commit
tees report will be discussed at the
next meeting.

going to Navarro to attend a meeting

chilled, to the residence Of L. Tisch-
hOuser who gave him some dry clothes
and rescued the cart from the swollen
stream.

Mr.. TAYLOR would hear no excuses
