A Telephone Line TO the Springs.
The WaterwOrks company is putting
in telephone line from the city to
Sand Springs in order to have quick
connection with the engine. When
completed the engines here will be
taken to the springs and the stand-p pipe
erected. Considerable trouble has
been experienced from broken pipe
between the city and springs. One
carload of pipe was wrecked in transit
from the mandatory to Abilene and
certain lengths were cracked. When
high pressure was put on these bursted
and had TO be replaced. The railroad
company on whose line the wreck
occurred pays the damage. Five
breaks have occurred. 1t is believed
that there will be no further trouble
as a pressure of 165 pounds has been
successfully withstood all along the
line.
The engineer of the waterworks
plant here, W. II. Teed, will go to
the springs today. Messrs. iced and
Pingery will be the engineers at the
works.

Selling Wheat.

More Dickinson county farmers are
selling their wheat now than for long
time past. This may be taken as q
sure indication that the farmers are
confident of a good crop else they
would not sell. The wheat prospects
could not be improved upon and unless
all signs fail the coming year viii be
the best known in the history Of the
county. Farmers can afford to sell as
they are practically certain Of having
an immense crop this year.

ONLY ONE REPRESENTATIVES,
Dickinson County Loses Strength II
the Legislature.


Much indignation has been expr I'D
by the business men of the city al
farmers who learned of it regGi c
the loss of one representative in 1. 4,
legislature by Dickinson county, n
related III the REFLECTOR last even
ing. 1t was expected that we might
lose one but also be made a senatorial
district by ourselves, thus partly COM
pensating; but the law as passed
leaves us with Clay county on senator
and gives but one representative to the
whole of Dickinson county. Marshall
and Washington counties, having al
most exactly the same population. each
has a senator and representative. Mr..
Harvey, of this district, who was Oh
the committee which made the appOr-
tionment, told the REFLECTOR last
evening that he had expected this to
be made a senatorial district and the
committee had promised such action
but that at the last moment went back
on him,
1t is unfortunate for the county that
its representatives did not have little
more realization of the necessity of
giving Dickinson county her deserts.
1t may be years before another appor-
tionment will be made and little more
firmness AMI wide awake push on the
part of our representatives would have
been to our advantage. But what
could you expect of an alliance house
of representatives?

You won't need to be a clothing ex-

offered. You couldn't improve this
appearance, but they can and will i'm
prove yours. Another point you will
appreciate-while the quality has i'm

DANBURY, Conn, Sep. 22.-The body
Of w. j. Lucas of Brooklyn, N. Y, was
found in Balls Pond yesterday. The
body was badly bruised and there was a
deep cut in his scalp, which was proba-
bly, caused by a bullet.
Lucas, who was formerly an official in
the New York Custom House, has been
spending the summer with his sister,
Mrs. A. R. Wilkinson, who lives on the
shore of The pond.
Last Thursday night Lucas went to a
ball at William Durgy's, on the oppo-
site shore, rowing across in a boat.
About midnight he started to return and
several companions went down to the
pond with him.
Shortly afterward those who remained
at Durgy's heard shouts and a pistol
shot, but thought nothing of it.
1t is now believed that Lucas was
murdered by those who accompanied him
to the pond. The police are investiga,
ting and several arrests are expected.

was startled yesterday by the announce

Bank Qimited), an important establish

in the metropolis had been robbed.
The money stolen consisted of a large

closely for an opportunity to accomplish
the robbery, and to have gained access
to an apartment near the main entrance
to the bank.
This apartment was easy of access
from the street, and the parcel of bills is
supposed to have been stolen while the
bank officials were busily engaged in an
other apartment in going over the ac-
counts of last weeks settlement.
The amount stolen is not less than
