DELUGED AT HOPE.
Plenty of Moisture Has Fallen in
South Dickinson.

Plenty OF moisture has Eallen IN
South Dickinson.
Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
HOPE, March 1.-THE late rain has
put our city in most miserable cOndi-
ton. The side streets and cutters are
filled with water and in many places
pools of water are in the main streets.
1t seems as though no better use of the
S6l5 which the city has in the county
treasury could be made than to supply
our city with a thorough drainage sys-
TEN. We have had much wet weather
this winter and spring and the stand
ing water from previous rains and
thaws should have shown the city how
our drains are neglected so that prepa-
rations could be made for the future.
The late rain has filled many of the
city cellars full of water and in private
cellars much damage has been done to
the cOntents. Il is said that the
ground has not been 50 thoroughly
soaked for several years.
People are awakening to the coming
of the city election. As yet no ticket
has been put in the field. 1t is widely
rumored and generally believed that
the alliance will put out a ticket,
which will not be announced long
previous, but will be sprung on the
people Just before election. Outside
of this there will be no party strife and
as we have no important questions to
argue the election will be quiet. We
have much good material in the per
sons of old citizens, successful business
men and mechanics who have the good
of the city at heart and to some of
these should be trusted our offices.
George Channon, the largest and
most successful hog breeder of south
Dickinson, is at present experiencing
a heavy loss of hogs. His hogs are 1y-
ing from poison caused by eating the
carcass of a calf which had died from
black leg or some similar disease. He
has lost about fifty of his hogs and
more are dying every day,

The Beet Man Gets Hard Name in
Manhattan.

Manhattan Republic: A recent
Abilene associated press dispatch con-
tains some utterances about proposed
beet sugar experiments In central
Kansas by DR.. Scheidtweiler, of Ger
many. We feel in duty bound to
caution the people and press of the
state about endorsing this gentlemen.
The authorities of the experiment
station at the Agricultural college had
an extended conference with the doc
tor and after partially arranging with
him to work under their direction,
were compelled by reason of his intern
perate habits to withdraw all en-
dorsement of his efforts" The follow
ing authoritative declaration in the last
Industrialist should be a sufficient
warning to all:
The station council has found il
impossible to work with DR.. Scheidt
weller in the beet culture and with
draws all endorsement of his efforts
Although apparently well informed, ht
cannot on account of personal habits
and peculiarities, render the service
which is desired.

HOW THE RING" THRIvEs.
The Sinking Fund Returns Them
Good Profit Each Month.

4uC 94A6Au6 uGu 4SCbAA 40 @AS@~~
Good Profit Each Month.
In 1888, the city administration
levied tax for the purpose of creating
sinking fund with which to pay the
future maturing bonded Indebtedness
Of the city. According to the report
of the city treasurer just published,
this fund now amounts TO 81 500.
Every dollar Of this fund was derived
from taxes levied long before Mr.. Mat
teson was elected. Neither Mr.. Mat
teson nor any of the ring ever had the
rsmOtest connection officially with
either the levyiDg or the collecting OF
a single dollar Of this sinking fund, as
it was all received from J. J. Cooper,
county treasurer, whose term expired
before any of the taxes levied by Mr..
Matteson's administration were due or
collectible. Yet the ring is trying to
hoodwink the voters by claiming credit
for the presence of this sinking fund in
the city treasury. This sinking fund
cannot be applied to the running ex-
penses of the city, nor to any other
purpose than that for which it was
collected, viz, the payment of the
future maturing bonded Indebtedness
of this city.
By all means fair and equitable to
the taxpayers of the city, this $1,000
of a sinking fund ought to be invested
or deposited where it would be bring
ing in some interest. We are informed
that either one of the responsible
banks Of the city will take the money
and allow the city a reason able interest
thereon. But the money still is lying
in Kirby's bank on deposit, and the
CITY is deriving no benefit whatever
from it, but the ring is probably loan
ing it out to the taxpayers of the city,
10 whom it really belongs at 2 per cent
a month, and putting the interest
down to the credit Of th individual
members of the ring. We areinformed
that neither tho economical
mayor nor the city treasurer has ever
asked the city council for permission
60 place this sinking fund at interest
for the benefit of the city, and if the
ring succeeds in re-eleeting itself, it
will probably have the use Of this
money, without interest for two years
longer.
We do not know nov long the tax
paysrs of this city will consent to fur
nish Meesrs. Matteson, Hallam and
Kirby money on which to speculate but
so far as the REFLECTION is concerned
we propose to show the taxpayers the
character of the ring which now has
control of the city, and if after being
fully informed in the matter, the
voters are still willing that these gen.
tlelnen shall continue fOF two years
more to feast at the public expense,
then we shall haVel To- bow submits
sively, il not gracefully.

"a 1AS GA46ASo &OAPAo1os
The Abilene COnmandery, Knight
Templar, had most enjoyable evening
at the asylum last night, the occasion
being the installation of the newly
elected officers, those who will preside
over The lodge for the ensuing year.
The installation services were impress

P. E. c., g. G. Kenyon who was del
egate to the triennial conclave at
Washington, presented the lodge with
an elegant framed collection of badges
from all parts of the nation, gathered
by him while at the cOnclave. The
gift is beautiful one and much appre-
ciated.
After the installation the members
of the order were invited to the AIham-
bra dining rooms where an elegant
banquet was given them by the cour-
tesy of the new commander, w. q.
COwles. The tables were loaded with
the delicacies of the season and the
guests were loud in their praise of the
caterer, Mr.. Z. w. Allen.
The evening was one long to be re-
membered by those fortunate enough
to be present.

him; it says: The foundation blood

that gave to the world that famous sire

SunOl, three year old record 2:l0! and

HOGS Dying in South Dickinson.

Reports from south Dickinson are to
the effect that large number of hogs
are dying of hog cholera and similar
troubles. The lateness of spring and
long diet on dry feed is given as the
cause of some of the trouble while
carelesSness in giving the hogs i'm
proper food has caused more. George
Channoh living at Hope has
had nearly SO of his herd die in the
past week from the latter cause. Other
losses are reported from north Dickin-
son. 1t is to be hoped that the disease
will soor run its course.

Prairie Stars ability as a sire. He
sired Laura B., who as a two year old,
with only three weeks training,
trotted in road cart, full mile in

she trotted quarters in IS seconds, a
2.2O gait. A prominent Kansas horse
man, seeing her trot number of times
said: There seems to he no limit to
her speed" Taking everything into
consideration, do you know of her

A Card from DR.. Ross.

To Al Whom II May Concern:
There is a report in circulation to
the effect that l refused to visit and
treat the old lady Marble living with
Mrs. Crozier for her recent unfortunate
injury a few days ago, for no other rea-
son than was afraid that would not
get pay for my services: And further
more that 1 advised DR.. Felty TO dc
likewise. 1 positively state that there
s not one word of truth in the report.
1 refused to visit her for no other
reason than the following: In accord
ance with previous arrangements the
old lady is under the medical care of
county physician, DR.. Boutin, and as
evidence of the fact 1 can produce a
note from DR.. BOutia to me to that
effect. When the messenger came for
me to 60 and see the old lady referred
him to the doctor as the proper one to
visit and treat her and advised him to
again see the doctor and have him go.
1 Learned at the same time from the
young man who came after me that
DR.. Boutin was at home. If DR.. B
had been out of town or not in reach
certainly would have visited the ole
lady and done all in my power to com
fort and alleviate hersuffering, and thu
pay would have been only a secOndar!
consideration. But under the circum
stances 1 was not at liberty to go.

There was question that came up
on Monday between G.. G. Thorpe
and our friend Thos. Mills, which for
convenience of the interested parties
was left to the Judge for a decision.
It was something like this, Mills said
if any person was bitten by dog and
the dog afterwards went mad that the
person bitten by said dog was liable
to have hidrophobia. Mr.. Thorpe
took issue with Mills and referred the
matter to the Judge, who took matter
under sdvisement and reserved his
decision until the costs were paid
cost before judgment.
