THE average freight tariff per ton per
mile on eighteen leading trunk railroads
in 1870 was zoos cents. In 1891 the
average tariff on the same roads is not
quite 1 cent per ton per mile G$0.929.)
In the same period there has been a
very marked increase in the government
tariff. Both facts are worth remember
ing in any connection, and especially in
reduction of the railroad tariff has made
trade easier, the increase in the federal
tariff has made it harder. Railroad
tariffs are not half as high as twenty
years ago, while the federal tariff is
over third higher.

Chilli is in some respects a land Of
surprises to the visitor from North
America. He discovers, for instance,
that the Government theater in San
tiago is a finer playhouse than any in
the United States-a magnificent
structure with four tiers of balconies
sumptuously upholstered with crimson
brocade and decorated in white and
gold. When the great auditorium is
filed with a representative audience Of
Gillian beauty and manliness, the Pa
risian toilets of the women, their bare
arms, futtering fans and blazing jewels
bewilder the visiting spectator. It is
more gorgeous than anything in Paris.
The average price of seats on the floor
of the house Is four dollars.

Simon Lenhart and wife were visit

Isaac Shockey came out from Abilene
to see if it had done raining so he
could thresh.
The township board was looking over
the roads this week. 1t has been too
wet to do the usual amount of work on
them this year and consequently they
are not in very good condition.
Wheat is reported to be rotting badly
in the shock and in some fields the
weeds have grown so high as to almost
nlde the SHOCKS.
Most of Frank Ramsey's threshiDg
crew have concluded to go homo.
They could only work one day and a
half last week and that would not pay
their board while they are idle.
As the day of school meeting ap-
proaches the teachers begin to put in
their bids and most of them claim that
teachers will be scarce this year on
account of so many failures.
Mr.. Shaflrer has rented part of d. ].

Which is the most discouraging to
farmers, not enough rain or so much
that they cannot take care of their

COMING OUR WAY.
NEW INVESTMENTS PROBABLE
FOR ABILENE.
Hon. ]. R. Burton Gives Some Inter
esting Pointers on Business
T. G. Henry Suit Not Compromised
Obstacles to Advancement.

1t was rumored last week that a
compromise was about to be effected
between the Travellers Insurance Co.
and T. G, Henry. The REFLECTOR
this morning interviewed the Hon. j.
r. Burton on the subject. He has
Just returned from Colorado and incl
dentally in the interview gave some
interesting pointers on increasing Abb
lene prosperity.
"Mr. Burton said the reporter,
There was a rumor here that negOtia-
tiOns were pending between the
Travellers Insurance Co. and Hon. i.
G, Henry looking toward settlement
of their lawsuits. Is there any truth
in the Tumors"
"None whatever so far as know"
was the reply, land should certainly
know of it if it was true.''
"YOu are reported to have said you
expected good news for Abilene soon.
Can you tell US what it is?''
mo, not at this time, except l will
say in general way that capitalists
have been riding through Kansas this
summer and they have been amazed at
our crops and evidence Of thrift, and
quite recently have been approached
by some of them about investing
in an enterprise in Abilene. 1
expect the matter take definite
shape this fall. The only thing
I have to contend with is the fear of
unfriendly legislation. They, of the
far east, greatly magnify the rabid
talk of certain individuals like Mrs.
Lease, Judge Doster and others. For
merly we boosted too much about GU
state and now some of our people
like PETER and Simpson are abus-
ing the state, by calling especial
attention to and magnifyiug every
mistake we made in boom times.
But they cannot hide our big crops
and the sub-stratum OF common sense
among the people will shortly silence
these croakers and slanderers-Kansas
is all right if only all good men will
think so and say so,
Yes, You may say L think l see
$50, 900 to be invested in Abilene this
fall"
Mr.. Burton and wife leave tomorrow
fora months stay in the mountains of
Colorado, which they will spend in
company with friends from Chicago.

dickinson county has taken advan-
tage of the law passed by the legisla-
ture last winter allowing counties to
dispense with sale of lands for delin-
quent taxes and to take the same for
the county instead of allowing private
bidders to make a profit on all re-
deemed tax certificates. Dickinson is
the first county in the state to take
advantage of the law and is only able
to do so because of large surplus in
treasury.-[Salina Republican.
The exposure of the Home Fasci-
nator company, of Montreal, CaEada,
as noted in last evenings dispatches,
probably saved a good many Abilene
people from being swindled out of their
$3.50 ''to cover cost of packing" as We
are informed that quite a number of
ladies received notice that they had
drawn the third prize. 1t takes a
sharp person nowadays to steer clear
of all swindling schemes.

from two weeks trip through Texas
and Arkansas. He reports the pros
pect for crops as very fattering Corn
is a great crop and cotton has every
indication of large yield.
He visited Hot Springs and no
doubt-derived great benefit from his
short stay. 1t is rumored that lie took
a Turkish bath to reduce his avoirdu-
pois.
While in TexarkaDa he attended
reunion of Confederate soldiers, The
occasion was just about like similar
gatherings in the north and showed a
spirit quite like that which animates
the G. A. r. No great evidences of the
alliance were seen and not much heard
beyond few inquiries as to the con-
dition in Kansas. Mr.. Stoddard reports
wheat as scarce and none moving yet,
There are certainly indications of a
good price this fall.
