What the People of Woodbine and
Vicinity are Doing.

| Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
WOoDBINE, Aug. Slowing to the
dryness and hardness of the ground
farmers have been obliged to suspend
blowing, and are now engaged in hay
making. The grass is excellent and
the quality and quantity of hay has
seldom, if ever. been surpassed.
Misses Bertha Foulke and Anna
Ziebell start for school today, the
former to attend the Chapman high
school and the latter TO the State Nor
NAL, at Emporia.
The population of WoOdbine is in
creasing. The latest arrival is a boy
at the home of August Janicke.
Next Monday school will begin to
continue eight months. We have able
and competent teachers in the persons
of o. w. Folsom for principal and Miss
Agnes Smith as assistant. With these
parties at the head we look to see much
advancement during the coming year.

cient help to run them, in fact several
machines are idle and the farmers
wheat is unfinished.
Several of the Woodbine KNIGHTS of
Pytlfias have recently joined with the
Harrington boys and organized a Uni
form Rank to be known as Harrington
Division, No. 20.
James Gillett is accommodating quite
a herd of milch COWS and will try TO do
his part toward supplying the cream
cry with milk. He has recently sunk
well and erected a wind engine to
pump water for the herd.
George Folsom has ordered New
Mail bicycle and as be has had but lit
tie or no experience in riding we may
expect a free show at his expense.
While speaking of bicycles it might be
of interest to say that Clarkson Hol-
ingswOrth anC. Frank Cossnd, OF
Russiaville, Indiana, two high wheel
riders of some note, stopped here few
days with friends. They rode their
wheels the greater part of the way
from Russiaville, Ind, to Glen Elder,
this state, whence they started on their
hOmeward journey by way of Kansas
City, st. Louis and Louisville.

ALMOST A SCRIMMAGE.

A Lively Talk in the HarbOr COmmls-
sioners' Rooms over Small Bill.
The proceedings of the State Board OF
HarbOr Commissioners yesterday began
quietly and ended in the same strain, but at
one time it looked as if there might be Serl-
Gus trouble
After some dry routine business was dis
posed of, Mr.. Martin Of the Stockton Trans
pOrtation Company came before the Doaru
with several small bills for docking bargeS
and for storing merchandise on the dock;
lie asked that the bills be corrected, ana
that one Item of $40 be disallowed.
1t appeared from his statement that the
charges were made by new Wharhnger
who was too Jealous In enforcing the rules
of the office. The members OF the board
stood by the employe, and claimed that II
the employees of Mr.. Martins company had
followed the rules, there would be no occa-
sion for trouble
MIR. Martin insisted that the charge of SIG
was not proper, when Commissioner Alex
ander said the board was the only body TO
judge on the right or wrong of any bill. He
also informed Mr.. Martin that he need not
attempt TO bTowbeat the members OF the
commission, as he had done frequently IN
the past two years.
Dir. Martin became excited at this, and
denied any attempt at brOWbeatlng. lie
claimed to be gentleman at all times. ana
referred to commissioner EngllSh, VINO
sat in the third house.
Mr.. Alexander insisted that he was cor
rect IN his assertion ana rose to his feet
Chairman BaSSett called the gentleman to
order, and tried 10 proceed with the routine
business.
All the bills of Mr.. Martins company
were Strengthened out, except the one Tor
SIG. This the Commissioners refused to in
terfere with, and Mr. Martin left the room
to his company. After approving demands
OF $500 80, the board adjourned.

LLOYD'S ARGUMENT.
Reasons Given Why Dama's Body Was
Hastily Embalmed.

Reasons Given Why Dama's Body Was
Hastily Embalmed.
When Attorney Kiley was arguing Tor
the contestants in the Dana will case he
laid great emphasis on what was consld-
cred uncalled-fOr expedition in the embalm-
ing of the dead musician.
Attorney Lloyd replied yesterday, main
tanning that the expedition displayed was
due to the advice of DR.. Brigham who said
that if the body was to be embalmed, the
sooner it was done the better.
MIR. French suggested that the operation
should be performed in the most skillful
manner trst-class job''-aud it was
necessary that the Job" should be done as
speedily as possible. because the deceased
was victim Of Brght's disease, and it was
essential that the process should be perfect,
as the corpse had to be transported 10 the
East.
LLOYD denied that Burtis & French were
in great haste in seiZlng Dama's papers.
The proceedings were regular ard orderly.
The counsel then took uD the alleged Will
and argued that it was genuine. He COM
pared 1t with other documents that were
admitted to be in Dama'S handwriting, i'll
sisting that there are the same mistakes IN
spelling and other pecullarltieS in the dOcu-
ment that lie sought to prove is genuine
ana the documents that are known To be
genuine.
