DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 2.--Frederick
W. Stevens disappeared two years ago
from his home IN Detroit and his wife
concluded a short time ago that he was
dead. She married John Roster and
resided at the old place on Illinois street.
They have lived together happily. Yes
terday morning her first husband,
Stevens. walked in. The lady greeted
him affectIonately and when Roster
arrived for dinner he found his wife and
Stevens chatting pleasantly The second
husband is good-natured and when the
matter was explained all sat down to a
good dinner. Roster and Stevens went
out together for the afternoon and re
turned To supper. Mrs. Steveus-Ko ster
retired with her first husband and Roster
sought his bed alone. Notwithstanding
Rosters good nature and generosity MIR.
and Mrs, Stevens took occasion. after
they believed him asleep, to say I'M
pleasant things concerning him, which he
overheard. He sprang out of bed aud
elected Stevens. scant'ly attired, from the
house. Stevens brought a policeman, to
whom each man loudly claimed the
woman as bis wife, the woman having
nothing to say. Roster is holding the
fort and the woman is evidently satisfied.

one revolver so he loaned them his.

wound dangerous but it developed

nicely and pushing things as usual.
Mr.. Shane evidently has more pluck
than comes to most men in this world.

CLOSING EXERCISES.
The County High School Ends Its
Successful Year Well.

Special REFLECTOR Correspondence
CHAPMAN, June 5.-The second an
nual closing exercises of the county
high school occurred last evening.
Despite the excessive rainfall and the
almost impossible roads a large
number drove through the rain and
mud to be present at the closing exer-
cises. Long before it was time for the
entertainment to begin every seat was
occupied and standing room was at a
premium.
The hall was tastefully decorated
with notices, eyergreens aud flowers
and looked very pretty in its evening
dress.
This being only the second years
work, there were no graduates, Gene
raj representative students from the
different classes were chosen to present
orations, declamations, essays, etc.
The following is the list of speakers
and their subjects: Chas. Halbert,
Liberty" Miss Anna Sanborne, Isl
lent Pages of History" Peyton Carter,
THE Rights of the Minority" Miss
Grace Kugler, marie Antoinette;"
John Meserve, Restricted Immigra-
tion;" Miss Nellie Fraser, "Scotland's
Heroes" essay, Miss Lily Noble,
"Being not Seeming" defamation,
Frank Erwin; Jacob Hamaker, "Uncle
Daniels Prayer" Miss Callie Rugh,
"ToO Late for the Train"
The speakers acquitted themselves
with great credit and all did admirably.
The music was especially fine.
Thus auspiciously closed the work of
the second year In the high school.
The past is but prophecy of the fu-
ture. No longer will Dickinson have
the honor of maintaining the only
county high school in the state, for
Atchison county opens its school next
year. One hundred and seventy-fiVe
students have been enrolled during the
year just finished and both accommOda-
tions and teaching force have been
taxed to their utmost to take care of
this number. No institution in the
county is more popular or pays better
dividends on invested capital than the
county high school of Dickinson.

A STORMY JUNE.
Prof. Hicks Says the Month Will Be
a Hummer.

The predictions made for June's
weather are not conducive to an out
look for pleasant days. Prof. Hicks
claims that he had predicted the storms
just over. He says: These disturb
ances are apt to be prolonged beyond
the normal time by the fact that the
equinox of Mercury falls on the 18th,
that of Venus on the 18th, with the
moons first quarter on the 14th-all of
these added to the fact that the June
solstice reaches its electric crisis about
this time. The best outlook for heavy
rains during the whole summer is dur
ing this, and the storm period next
following. Among the results natur-
ally to be looked for will be many
startling displays of lightning, down.
pours of rain-frequent and heavy
hailstorms with phenomenal drops from
hot to cool, and earthquake shocks in
different parts of the globe. Careful
observers will detect a natural
tendancy of clouds and air currents to
whirl suddenly backwards from the
east, recipitating drenching down.
pours of rain and hail upon localities
which they have apparently passed.
The 18th is the central day of the
next regular storm period. Within
forty-eigbt hours of p. m. on the 18th,
before and after, very warm wave
followed by heavy storm disturbances
will pass over the continent from west
to east. About the evening of the
22nd, an unusually cool wave will be
announced for central parts Of the
country which viii spread later to the
Atlantic, and abide in cooler, fresher
atmosphere until displaced by warmer
days and 'reactionary storms on the
18th and 26th. -
Pleasant days and nights viii sue
coed up to the last day Of June, when
the temperature will again begin to
grow hot and oppressive, and storm
forces will begin to show in the west,
which are sure to sweep eastward dur
the LIST and 2nd of July. During the
month Of June there ara reasons to
expect dangerous storm Developments.

PURSES, NOT STAKES.
The Fair Association Makes Changes
in Program.

The directors of the Fair association
held a meeting yesterday evening for
the purpose oflooking over the arrange
ments for the race meeting next
September. 1t was decided to change
the stake races to purse races, making
the purses $500 each. The stakes were
put too high for some owners who
desired to come in. The entries on
the purse races will close July goth.
Every indication points to the most
successful meeting in the Abilenes
tracks history. The classics are filing
well and it is likely that 200 horses
will be here in September. From
Chicago, st. Louis and all over the
west are coming inquiries regarding
the meeting and the officers of the
association are more than pleased with
the outlook. Everyone i'll the city and
county should make every possible
effort to help the races and make the
meeting the success it should be.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
An Aged Man Killed by the Cars on
the Santa Fe.

A fatal accident occurred On the
Santa Fe north of Manchester yester-
day afternoon when Charles George,
an aged resident of Chapman township,
Clay county, was killed by the engine
of the southbound freight. Mr.. George
who was almost totally deaf, stood on
the track as the train came around a
bend on the down grade. The wet
track made it impossible to stop and
though the engineer made every effort
and blew the whistle he could not
attract the old mans attention or stop
the train.
Mr.. George was thrown some dis
lance, a leg was broken, his skull was
crushed and death followed in a few
moments. He was aged 81 years and
was the father of the famous Eli
George we'll known in this county.
The funeral was held at the late
residence of the deceased today.

INSTITUTE COMMENCES.
The Annual Month of Study Begins
at the Central Buildinp

The Annual Month of Study Begins
at the Central Building.
The annual normal institute began
its months session this afternoon at
the central school building. There
were present at 2 o'clock about so
young ladies and gentlemen from all
parts of the county, gathered for study
in the science Of pedagogy.
The personnel Of the institute is
about the same as that of past years
some new faces, many old ones. There
is perhaps less percentage than here
tOfore of Abilene residents but not
much difference is noticeable. The
veteran William Campbell, who has
attended every institute since the
grasshOpper times, occupied a front
seat and a number of visitors were
present, mostly ex-school teachers who
enjoyed seeing the institute begin bus
mess.
Supt. VanDyke called the gathering
to order aud after opening exercises
the instructors were introduced and
made.brief speeches, outlining work of
the session and expressing their gratif-
cation at seeing SO many present, in
spite of bad roads and threatening
weather, The instructors are: NJ.
Chichester, conductor, for the past year
superintendent of schools at Concordia;
]. G. Wine, late principal of the Hope
schools; II. N, Gaines, assistant in the
county high school; Geo. Jones, teacher
of penmanship in the Abilene schools.
The gentlemen are all competent edu-
Gators and will make the institute a
success.
The program for each days work
was then discussed by Mr.. Chichester
while about fifty students enrolled. 1t
is as follows, the rooms being those of
Chichester, Gaines and Wine respec-
lively:
The normal institute went to work
on its regular course at s o'clock this

BLOCKS oF-FIVE.
The School Board Contest Continues
as Usual,

as Usual.
The board of education met last
evening for the usual series of ballots
on city superintendent. The full board
was present and the work went on with
that regularity and ease which long
custom has made part of the boards
characteristics. There were about 80
ballots taken, all being the same
Moulton 5; McClain 5. The fact that
McClain has been elected at Yelling
ton has no effect on the Opposers of
Mr.. Moulton and they seem to be
hankering for the election of somebody
other than the present superintendent.
The petitions for and against Mr..
MOulton were not presented, it being
understood that the anti-faction which
started the petition business was not
successful in securing a very long list
of names.
The board will meet again next
Monday night when it is sincerely
hoped that there is will be an election.
This contest is proving injurious to
the schools and not at all conducive to
future harmony.

cert and Reception.
The spacious and handsome home of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Hurd was a scene
of pleasure last evening when nearly
one hundred guests were entertained
therein. Mrs. Hurd was assisted by
Mrs. G. A. Rockwell and Mrs. Thurs

enough to be present were delighted
with the evenings enjoyment.
A leading feature of the evening was
the rendition of the following musical
program, each number of which was
excellently given:

The solo of Mrs. Thurston, of juno
ton City, was particularly enjoyed, her
voice being notable for its sweetness
and strength. Following the selection
on the program she gave in response to
an encore "Sleep, Baby, Sleep"
After the program came delicate re-
freshments and later the floors we're
devoted to dancing. The entire even
ing was one Of elegant hospitality and
will be long remembered by the guests.

Would-Be Burglars Spend a Night
FruitlesslY

4u4G4SoOAy
The burglar profession evidently
contains as consummate chumps as
can be found anywhere. a couple of
the chiefs of that variety spent Satur-
day night IN wild goose project that
must have made them ashamed of
themselves when they reached the end
of the game.
The safe in B. F. Nelson's store
stands in the rear room. Some one
conceived the idea that it contained in
exhaustible wealth and Saturday night
proceeded to investigate. 1t is
thought that two men were in the JOB.
The rear window of the store was pried
open and with finely made drill work
was commenced on the safe. With
much labor which must have occupied
several hours the work went on and at
last the lock was pierced by two holes
when it is supposed that the burglars
turned the safe handle. Presto, the
safe bolts flew back and the door
swung open. The safe was not locked
at all and had not been for over year,
being used only as safe place for
books in case of fire.
The intruders took out few pack
ages of receipts, invoices, ETC., and
scattered them around, then fled so
suddenly as to leave their drills, ham
mers and chisels on the floor. Mr.
Nelson can discover nothing missing
and as he has the burglars tools thinks
he is several dollars ahead on the
transaction.

Good Work in Penmanship.


By far the best feature about the
coming normal will be the opportunity
enjoyed by all to receive instruction
from Prot. Jones. He will conduct
classes during the entire term.
Special classes will be organized
sufficient to accommodate all. The
terms will be such as to place it within
the reach of every teacher and the
present indications are that he will
have a very large class, His success
in our public schools during the past
year proves beyond a doubt his ability
as a superior teacher of penmanship.
