RECENT REFLECTIONS.

The book and stationery firm of
McElhaney s. Dickinson closed its
doors today after two months career.
The long felt want was easily filed.
The next theatrical attraction will
be Kate Claxton's well known company
December Is. The troupe is a first
class one and will have good house.
Manager Harrison is giving the people
of town a fine list or attractions this
winter.
The Walter A. Wood Moving
Machine Co., has contracted with Mr..
n. Wetzel for another years work at
increased salary as travelling agent for
central and western Kansas, with
headquarters at Abilene. 1t is highly
complimentary to Mr.. WetzeI's ability.
"A $40 bill was lost on the streets
Saturday by Mrs, Scripter of north
east Dickinson. Mrs. F. l.. Parker
found it and left an ad to be inserted
in the REFLECTOR but before the
paper was issued, this Office had dis
covered the owner. The REFLECTOR S
ads are very powerful things.
An old friend in new dress and
an article that has come to be one of
the indispensables of an editors desk,
comes 10 hand in the Columbia Daily
Calendar for 1892. The Calendar is in
the form of pad containing 366 leaves
each 5! q inches: one for each day
of the year, to be removed daily and
one for the entire year. Each slip
bears a short paragraph pertaining to
cycling or some kindred subject.
John Wilson, of Sterling, Colo,
is nothing if not philosophical.
Apropos of the arrival of his new boy
he says: MANY old bachelors remain
old bachelors because they hear so
much complaint about babies. The
fact is that baby is not one quarter
the trouble it is charged with being.
Any young couple can get along
with one if they try, Papa can
sit up half the night with it and
mamma can sit up the other half.
What could be simpler?"

Immauel Baptist church. Delegates
from the following churches met in the
Grace Reformed church at 7:SO p. M:
Mcpherson, Manhattan, Junction City,
Clay Center and Usage City. Mission
ary Secretary I. ,. Newell was present
as a delegate.
The Rev. ]. Fulton, D. D., of Nc

The Rev. J. B. Tuttle, of Clay Center,
preached the sermon, text, Acts 16:9.
The moderator then asked Bro. ]. A.
Hansbrough, of the new church, to
state the object of calling the council.
"We organized three weeks ago and
adopted articles of faith prepared by
J. Newton Brown. You know of the
rupture in the Baptist cause sometime
ago. We have been waiting three
years, hoping there would be some
other way out of our difficulties. We
have had no church privileges and now
desire to be recognized as a Baptist
church, unless there is some other
way out of our embarrassment" "
Much time was then given to full and
free discussion. a basis of cOmprO-
mise was suggested. Remarks were
made by the members of the council,
and of the old and new churches.
Finally the council voted 10 recognize
the Emmanuel Baptist as a regular
Baptist church. There was only one
dissenting vote. Brother Tuttle was
then appointed to give the charge to
the church and the hand Of fellowship.
Prayer of recognition was then offered
by DR.. Fulton. The council then
recommended that the new church
adopt some basis of reconciliation
and present to the old church. During
the proceedings prayers were offered
by the brethren and at a late hour the
council adjourned.
The Emmanuel Baptist church has
already grown from seven to twenty.
Four are ready to be bap.ised. An
unOTdained brother, Mr.. J. G. Hala-
plan, recent graduate of Colgate
university, is pastor of the church.
He is wide awake and with much zeal
is prosecuting the work. He is receiv
ing the hearty support of the church,
and the denomination will hear again
of him and his consecrated supporters.

ing nearly all branches of human inter-
est. The Independent is above all
things family newspaper, and as
such we recommend it to you. We

M'KINLEY TARIFF ACT.
Arguing Its COnstitutionaIity Before tn
Supreme Court.

Arguing Its COnstitutiOnality Before the
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The three
tariff cases involving the constitution
ality of the Mckinley tariff act came up
for argument in the United States su-
preme court yesterday afternoon. All
the justices were present Notwithstand-
ing the great Importance of the suits,
only a small audience listened to the
argument.
The three cases before the court are
those of Boyd, Sutton & Co. and Stern
bach & Co, of New York city, and
Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago,
against the collectors of customs of
New York and Chicago respectively.
Three points are involved in the de-
cision of the suits and the court heard
all the cases as one and made an order
by which to each of the attorneys repre-
senting the three firms was assigned
one of the points at issue to be reviewed
in the opening argument As the argu-
ment progressed the justices Of the
court asked few leading questions.
w. B. Smith, of New York, argued
the bounty claims, contending that
bounties were unconstitutional and
that the bounty section invalidated the
whole act
Chief Justice Fuller asked if the
record showed that any money had
been paid under the sugar bounty
clause by his clients
Mr.. Smith did not know as to that
but they had a right to complain be-
cause taxes were increased on their
goods for the purpose, as they believed,
of paying the sugar bounty.
In answer to Justice Gray Mr.. Smith
reiterated his opinion that the whole
act was unconstitutional because of the
sugar bounty.
Edwin B. Smith, ex-assistant attor-
ney-general and now of New York,
argued on the reciprocity feature of
the Mckinley act, maintaining that it
was delegation of the taxing power
to the president which vitiated the
whole act.
N U. Bliss of Chicago argued the
third point that the law was unconsti-
tutional because of the omission of the
tobacco rebate section from the bill as
signed by the ex-president. After he
had stated his objection Justice Brad
ley asked: "Your position then is that
whenever an enrolling clerk by acci-
dent or fraud happens to omit section
of law, although that law is reported
to the president and signed, the law is
invalid?''
Mr.. Bliss replied: YES, sir"
The argument will be continued to-

CHINA IN THROES.

Rebels Advancing on Pekin-General Rising
Probable-Missionaries in Panic.
PEKIN, Dec 1.-The government is
fully aware of the serious condition
which confronts it and every possible
step is being taken to break the
strength of the rebels before they get
within striking distance of the capital
There is much excitement here among
all classes of the population and the
authorities believe if they can infiict a
defeat upon the rebel forces it will
have good effect upon the people of
Pel1in and the vicinity. 1t is believed
that many of the people are secretly in
favor of the rebels, but should the i'm
perial forces do battle with the insur-
gents and defeat them the malcontents
would then side with the government.
No doubt is entertained that the
situation is extremely dangerous.
Should the rebel forces continue to
advance toward the capital in spite of
the efforts of the imperial troops to
prevent them it is feared by the
foreigners that the whole country will
rise and aid the invaders.
The garrison of Shankaikivan has
been sent to suppress other insurrec-
tionarys bodies, which are marching in
various directions throughout the
country, evidently with the intention
of joining the main body.
The most serious condition of affairs
exists at Takow, the place where the
most brutal outrages were committed
upon the Christian priests, nuns and
native converts What action the gov
ernment will take in this matter it is
hard to say.
Three hundred Europeans and native
Christians were massacred- 1t is be-
lieved that not single Christian in the
district escaped
CONSERVATION prevails among the
Protestant missionaries in the district
through which it is expected the rebels
will pass
The local officials declared that they
were powerless to protect the mission
aries and that if they desired to save
their lives they had better seek safety
in fight The missionaries therefore
abandoned their stations

is an easy speaker and pleased his
audience. There will be preaching
aud revival services at the Baptist

The Evangelical church is conduct
ing revival meetings and last evenings
