CLIMBING UPWARD.
ABILENE WILL ADVANCE IN
PROSPERITY DURING 1891.
The Advent of Pure Mineral Water
and of Better Times VIII Do Much
for the Considerable Build
ing to Be Done.

The prospects for the coming yea
are something that have not been ex
celled in the past years for brightness:
and promise of prosperity. The year
will be without doubt one of the
best in the history Of the state. The
boom days have passed and the re
action which followed them has reached
its lowest point long ago. During the
past year renewed confidence in the
city has been awakened and we believe
that there is before us a most prOmis'
ing future. Events in the past week
have shown the stability Of Abilene
business houses and the friendliness
and cooperation that exits between
them, fact Which is full of encourage
meut.
1t is no more expected by the sensi-
BILE men of town that Abilene will be
a great manufacturing or wholesale
emporium like Chicago or Cincinnati,
but there has grown up faith in the
city making one of the most substantial
and pleasant home-cities in Kansas,
surrounded as it is by Q county unsur-
passed for fertility and capacity for
raising the crops to which central Kan
sas is adapted. The outlook is most
hattering for an immense crop of
wheat the present season. Never per
haps have the fields been as promising
as at present and the acreage was GER
tainly never so large. The farmers f"r
the most part are in batter condition
than ever before and are paying off
their Indebtedness at a satisfactory
rate,
The prosperity of the surrounding
country is the prosperity of Abilene and
already there are preparations going on
for improvements that will be the best
of all indications of the real pros
perity which is coming to Abilene.
Several business houses will be
built and numerous improvements
in private residences are COD
templated. With the addition to the
city of new capital aud with the conf
dence that is expressed by the added
investments of our most substantial
business men there is nothing but good
fortune ahead for the city. The Re-
FLECToR will have more to say on this
subject in day or two and will chron-
icle the now ventures that are to be
undertaken as they materialiEe.

Unsuccessful Farmers.
@ Editor OF The REFLECTOR.

| To the Editor of The REFLECTOR.
CHEEYER TWP, Jan. 20.-The cry
about the depressed condition of the
farmer seems to be general throughout
the country. There never was nor
never will be a time when many of
them will not be depressed. IL men
fail at farming, where they were born
and raised, where else would they be
likely to do any better? Men must
not expect the results of ability unless
they have it. Neither must they ex-
pect the benefits of industry, economy
and temperance, unless they practice
them.
Farming has always been, and must
be carried on forever. 1t pleasant
and profitable calling. If the farmer
does not pay too much for his land,
and his farming and trading capacity,
and gives his attention the entire year
as the successful merchant or lawyer
does his store or office, he will also find
that he is successful. If he tires of the
farm there is no law that prevents him
from selling it and becoming anything
that his capacity and inclination
prompt him to be.
1t seems to be fashionable among the
farmers just now to belong to the ALI
ance, and to declare that the laws are
responsible for their failure at farm
ing, 1 cannot help noticing that the
farmer that gives new movement the
warmest greeting and expects most
from it, is the one whose barnyard is
about the only fertile spot on his farm.
And whose fields are covered with yell
low spots which expand each year and
around which is decaying fence over
grown with bushes and briers through
which the sun never shines. This man
has destroyed the native forest, ex-
hausted the fertility of his fields and
raised a large family which is now
needy. He sees all this and imagines
that our laws are responsible for it.
AS a ruler over a small farm and a
family he has not been successful, yet
he wants to make laws to govern sixty
million people.
Disappointed or inscriptions lead
ers join these movements for the sole
purpose of getting the farmers vote,
knowing at the same time that the
only way to improve the farmers con-
dition is to teach him to produce larger
crops of every variety that his soil will
produce, and at the same time hold up
or increase the fertility of his soil, buy
and sell his stock at the proper time,
and always keep good article, and
steadily improve it. CITIZEN.

The Wheat all Right.

One Of the best informed farmers of
south Dickinson said to the REFLEC-
TOR today that the farmers are mis-
taken in charging the Hessian fly with
the injury done the wheat in some
localities. He says it is due to an
overgrowth of the blades in wet
weather and the dry weather that
followed. The spears are brown and
dead, but the roots and stools are in
good condition, as one will find upon
examination. The fly always begins at
the roots. Again, wheat in this sec
ton was sowed too late to be affected
by the fly, which here attacks only
volunteer wheat that grows up during
the hot weather. If his diagnosis is
right, the wheat which is thought to
have been injured by the fly will come
out all right in the spring.

/, CARRIAGE WORKS FIRE.
THE MAIN BUILDINGS GO UP IN
SMOKE.
Abilene's Largest Venture in the
Way Of Boom Material Gone
Nothing Saved from the Burned
Structure-Loss $4,000.

Another lesson in Abilene's history
is ended Another anchor TO which
the town once hitched its hopes but
which failed to hold has now gone to
Join McGinty. At O'Clock this after
noon the main buildings of the Johns
carriage works were burned to the
ground. Upon the sound Of the alarm
L If the population started out for the
place Of the blaze, but before any con-
siderable number reached there the
main building was a sheet of flames
and all the brick portion of the works
went in less than half an hour. Being
outside the waterWorks limits the fire
department could no nothing and there
was no help for the entire structure
going. By hard work the paint shop
and the low shed in the rear of the
works were saved, they being covered
with corrugated iron sheeting.
The cause OF the fire was undOubted-
" incendiaIy though how it could Oe-
cur in broad daylight is hard to see. 1t
Is generally believed that fuse was
used,
The loss on tie buildings is c0nsid-
cred to be about $4,000. The losers
are holders of mortgages III Hartford,
Conn. The building was originally
put up with Abilene's bonus to l.. B.
Johns, 1t was heavily mOrtgaged,
something Ike $4,000 being known to
be on the structure and probably more.
The property is held in trust sgaiting
foreclosure proceedings and has been
in litigation for some time. The in
surance is bsiieyed to have been all
forfeited by vacancy, though it IS pos
sible that So, 900 or 81 600 remains with
a vacancy permit or mortgages clause.
The buildings were entirely vacant
and had been so for several months.
The machinery was in the iron-covered
sheds.
The expressions heard among the
crowd at the fire we're not those of
great regret. Abilene sunk a good
sized pile of good hard cash in the car
mage works and nobody will feel sorry |
to see the site pat into corn. On the
basis of having secured the great |
manufacturing establishment" Abb
Iene once aimed to rival Chicago and |
put on airs such as New York never
dared assume. The hopes decayed, the
dreams vanished, the mirage dissolved |
and now the carriage works have
burned. Sic transit gloria nulds.

SOME COLD SARCASM.
A Formerly of Chapman Minister
Gets Dose from Indian Commits:
sioner Morgan.

Gets Dose from Indian Commits.
sioner Morgan.
A dispatch from Washington says
that Secretary Noble a few days age
received the following letter from Rev.
J. w. Wright, the pastor of Metho-
dist church In Kansas, a gentleman
who was until a short time ago the
pastor of d Chapman church:
Il feel that We ought to do better
With this Indian problem.
81. They ought not to have arms at
all, now that hunting grounds aTe a
thing of the past. Put an end to the
greed of traders by forbidding sales of
arms or ammunition,
-. The agents or some Fascals
usually steal great amount of the sup
plies. The appropriations are ample,
Int the supplies are stolen. Can you
not find some honest men for agents,
rather than cheap politicians, nine out
of ten of whom will steal the supplies?
If you can get rid of the thieves in the
Indian department and the attorneys
in the pension department you will
confer lasting favor on two classes of
unfOrtunates who cannot speak for
themselves
COMMISSIONER MORGAN's REPLY.
This letter was referred by Secretary
Noble to Indian Commissioner Morgan,
and the letter replied to it as follows:
Il am glad that you feel enough in
terest in the Indian problem to write
such letter, and l am always open to
suggestions in a matter in which l am
so greatly interested and where l have
so much responsibility. In reference
to the sale of arms to the Indians by
the traders, allow me to say that
they are prohibited by law from such
sale, and so far as this Office can learn,
they obtain their arms from white
men outside. If you know personally
of such sales being made by traders,
the office will be glad to be informed
of the same. In reference to the
second statement that agents or some
rascals usually steal a great amount
Of supplies, allow me to say that
if you know personally of such
this office will be greatly
obliged to you if you will give particu-
lars as to men, places, dates, etc. The
president has taken great pains in the
of agents, and so far as
this Office knows, those now employed
are honest, upright men, who are not
open to such criticisms. If you have
other and different information |
[ cannot think you would make such |
sweeping charges on other than what |
you believe reliable information-or if |
you know personally and indisputably |
Of such state of things, this office |
will be greatly obliged for full particu-
srs, and will act accordingly. Such |
charges will be Investigated promptly,
that, if just they may be righted, if |
unjust no mans fair name maybe tar
nished. In view of the knowledge of |
the matter which you seem to have, 1 |
ask that may hear from you as soon |
as convenient. Please accompany your |
charges with affidavits.
