Easter was not a complete success
from a weather standpoint, as the
spring winds which succeeded the
early morning storm were chill and
raw. However the churches were by
no means deserted. They had all been
appropriately decorated with cut flow
ers and plants and the exercises were
all especially adapted to the day.
Large audiences we're in attendance
at all the Lutheran services. A good
company assembled at the sunrise
prayer meeting and the attendance
kept increasing until evening when
many were turned away. The pulpit
and organ were banked with flowers,
crowned with beautiful Easter lilies.
Sevarel persons united with the church
at the morning service. 1t was day
of gladness all around. The pastor
was never more inspired, Miss HoisiDg-
ton never sang more sweetly and the
children's hearts and voices were filed
with joy.
In the Methodist church the Sunday
school hour was given up to a special
Easter service in which all took part.
Rev. J. T. Mayor preached in the

The Rings Wants to Continue in the
Future as in the Past.

future as IN the fdSL.
The demagogical character of the
rings campaign has never been more
strikiDgly illustrated than in the void
ing of Mr.. Hallam's announcement for
city treasurer. Mr.. Hallam says that he
is candidate ION the straight Matte
son platform and will # elected con-
tinue in the future as in the past to
guard well the interests of the city"
Just what city treasurer can do
astride of Mr.. Matteson's reputation
platform is..not apparent. Heretofore
it has been supposed that city treas
urer was neither an executive nor a
legislative officer. His duties are
simply to take care of the money paid
in to the treasury by the taxpayers.
He has heretofore had no more to do
with the repudiating of the city's
honest obligations MOI the making Of
public improvements than any private
citizen. 1t is only since the boodler's
ring was organized on North Second
street that city treasurer has been
required to announce himself as being
on the same platform with his chief.
1t is probably true that he is ION the
straight Matteson platform" So is
that other ring leader, Thomas Kirby.
These three gentlemen have been run
ming on the straight Matteson plat
form" for the past year, and as Mr.,
Hallam says they Twill if elected con-
tinue in the future as in the past" and
the ring will still keep the money pro-
vided by Mr.. Lebold's administration
for sinking fund and for water rentals
closely in the vaults of Thomas Kirby's
bank and the ringst3rs will continue
to draw their monthly installments of
per cent interest. The people and
taxpayers of the city may have some
thing to say as to whether the ring
shall continue in the future as in the
past" to run bank and a money
brokers' establishment with the peo-
ple's money.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS.
North Dickinson Suffers from Sc
we're Storm.

NOAO SbOAAAs
The storm which swept over the city
early Sunday morning was sufficiently
severe to brighten many people of town,
especially as it was accompanied by
considerable hail. No damage was
done in town however.
The country districts of north Dick
inson did not fare so well. The wind
took on cyclonic tendency in Buckeye,
Willowdale and Hayes townships and
the damage done will amount to thous-
ands of dollars. The especial food of
the storm seemed to be windmill tow
ers and it is estimated that at least %
are stretched PROSTATE in the townships
mentioned.
Among the many losses reported are
the following: D. B. Martin and John
and Chris. Carver, windmills destroyed;
j. Eiseline, a 80 foot shed blown
down and an s by Is corn crib de-
stroyed and material carried 40 rods,
also roof torn from the horse barn; at
Elmer Hoyt's, the granary, barn and
windmill were blown down, the debris
being scattered in all directions; at
Mr.. Fishburn's the windmill was torn
down and carried about 50 feet; at
Mrs. Minister'S the mill was destroyed,
A. b. Cunningham barn, w. j. Ar
nold's barn. John Gugler's mill, Jacob
Browns mill, John GOodwin's mill
and Mr.. Shocks tower all went to the
ground, while Mr.. W. Scott's house
had the entire north part twisted OF
and fiattened to the ground. The barn
of Mr.. Reese near Talmage was COM
pletely demolished. In Willowdale
township and in the neighborhOod OF
Detroit other damage was done, of
which the particulars cannot be learned
at this writing.
Taken altogether the storm was the
hardest the vicinity had seen in years
and it is a wonder that no ons was in
iured, That it was not a straight
wind but tornado is proved by the
fact that at the various farm yards the
debris was scattered not in one direc'
ton but to all points of the compass,
adjoining buildings being moved in
opposite directions. The wind was
accompanied by hail and rain.

SUGAR SWEET AND CHEAP.
The Reduction in Price About Il
Take Place.

Eighteen and perhaps twenty pounds
of the best granulated sugar for ST.
that's what the grocery advertisers of
the REFLECTOR will be announcing
hereafter.
On April LIST the new law goes into
effect, allowing the raw sugar to enter
America without the payment of any
duty. Not long since the treasury
department issued an order which
permitted refners to work over the
raw sugar before April 1st, the raw
material being shipped in bond. By
this provision large amount of sugar
will have been refined though not a
pound is allowed to be sold without
the duty before that date.
At present the wholesale merchants
are selling sugar at an average OF s.:
cents per pound. 1t is believed that
at some points in this country further
east, the wholesale price will be as low
as Al cents per pound. This will be a
marked reduction and the consumer Is
the one who will reap the benefit. The
best granulated sugar will soon sell in
Abilene from IS to 20 pounds for a
dollar, and there seems to be no imme-
date prospect of any change from that
rate.
The leading merchants say they will
make the reduction tomorrow most
pleasant April fool joke for their
patrons. While taking advantage of
the reduction remember that the Nc
KinleY bill did it.

NOW THEY'RE MARRIED.
The Advantages of Advertising as
Applied to Matrimony.


The readers of the REFLECTOR will
recall the item in this paper taken
from the Kansas City Star in which an
Abilene man advertised for a wife.
With the usual success Of advertising
in wide awake newspaper he was
successful and a quiet ceremony per-
formed few days ago by Elder Clark
made the twain one.
The hero in the case was gentleman
living on West First street and his
wife Kansas City lady who saw the
notice, and so impressed the advertiser
in the correspondence that followed,
that an engagement and marriage
were soon gone through with.
The affair vas kept very quiet but
now that it is over with the REFLECTOR
congratulates the parties and hopes
that the their good sense in trusting
the newspapers may not prove to have
been misplaced.
