INSTALLED AS PASTOR.
An Interesting Ceremony at the
Presbyterian Church.

| 4C6Ey AAe@A OAA4 49,
The formal installation nf a pastor
is always an interesting occasion but
that held last evening in the Presbyter-
ian church was more than usually at
tractive by reason of the success which
the Rev. DIR. Blayney has had during
his residence here. The church. was
crowded 10 the doors before the time
of opening the service. An abundance
of flowers made the interior of the
edifce beautiful and shed potent
fragrance upon the air.
The services opened with an organ
voluntary after which the choir sang
Sonctus. The singers were Mrs. NJ. Ii.
Hewett, Miss Hoisington, Messrs.
Hewett and Brough;on, Miss Parent
being at the organ.
A feeling invocation by Rev. I. r.
Lewis, of Beloit, who had charge of the
services, followed.
Then the quartette rendered Bal
Iey's beautiful "Bow Down Thine
Earl in "a manner which was more
than pleasing to the congregation.
The scripture reading was by Rev. A.
S. Dechant, of the Grace Reformed
church. Rev. II. w. Hitler, of the
Baptist church, sang tenor solo,
Aides Hear My Prayer" t. E.
Dewey accompanying him. No COM
mendation is necessary for Mr.. Hill
lier's singing. 1t is known to all Abb
lene as equal to any the city has ever
heard.
Rev. G. J. Schumacher, of the Evan
gelical church. offered prayer; hymn
followed and the sermon was delivered
by Rev. Lewis. The address was an
able one, somewhat lengthy consider
ing the long program, but still filled
with meaty thought.
An alto solo by Miss Bonell "Unan-
swered" came next, after which was
the formal installation ceremony.
Pledges alike from preacher and con-
gregation were given and DR.. Blayney
was declared the church'S pastor.
The church has in him a careful
thinker and a man of excellent social |
qualities. His experience in collegiate |
and pulpit work has fitted him for |
building up the charge and he will do |
it thoroughly and satisfactorily.
Rev. VIM. Foulkes, of Salina, deliv-
cred the charge to the pastor. A duet
by DR.. and Mrs. Hewett charmed the
audience and then came the charge to |
the congregation by Rev. J. N. Rankin |
of Solomon. Both gentlemen made |
interesting addresses.
A solo by Miss Hoisiugton. He Will |
Forgive" and singing 10y choir and con-
gregatiOn closed the exercises.
The REFLECTOR hopes that Rev.
Blayney may long remain pastor of
the church in which be has been so
auspiciously installed.

SAYS IT Is GRESHAM.
J. r. Burton's Opinions on Presiden-
tial Candidates.

y d. Dull SOu OP4u4OOS Ou GI0Slu0u-
tial Candidates.
From the Kansas City Star:
TOPEKA, May eff the republicans
nominate him he will be beaten 100,-
600 votes in Kansas" was the parting
shot made by j. r. Burton, as he
boarded the train for Texas, yesterday.
He referred to the Hon. Benjamin
Harrison, whose chances for the re-
publican nomination for president were
being discussed by group of Kansas
politicians, of which Mr.. Burton was
the central figure.
"The railroads forced Harrison's
nomination at Chicago" was what
Mr.. Burton told his admirers, land
they are preparing to do tie same
thing again. Chauncey Depew may
probably succeed in nominating him,
but he will also succeed in defeating
him. To my mind the only sensible
thing for the republican party to do is
to nominate Gresham. don't think
Blaine will take the nomination, but,
if he doesn't want it, then Gresham is
our only show. The railroads can't
contribute enough to defeat him.
Every laboring man in the country
feels that Gresham is his friend and
the farmers alliance will support him
in a body. 1t looks as if the fight
would narrow down to contest be-
tween Harrison and Mckinley. What
can the west do under the circum-
stances but go to Gresham? Depew
knows, if he knows anything, that the
talk about strong Harrison sentiment
is all bosh. Blaine is SO per cent of
the administration and Jerry Rusk is
the balance"

DISCUSSING THE LEGALITY.
Was the Warrant Issued to Mrs.
Ramsey Valid?

The lawyAs of the city have been
discussing the legality of the warrant
issued week or two ago to Mrs. Ram
sey for damages suffered by her last
fall. 1t will be remembered that a
claim for damages was put in and the
council allowed $500 as a compromise.
Of this sum half was paid at once by
a warrant for 5000 payable to Mrs.
Ramsey.
1t appears that decision was
handed down by the supreme court
few days ago which declares that in a
similar case the wife could not put in
her claim independently of the hus-
band and a warrant drawn to her
order was not legal. That as the
husband is liable for her bills the claim
should really come from him. The
general opinion is that such a course
should have been followed in the pres
ent case.

A Grader Tested.

Liberty township made today trial
Of Western Reversible road machine,
or grader, which the township contem-
plates purchasing. A REFLECTOR re-
preventative witnessed the test and was
as well as the other Onlookers, much
pleased with the work. The machine
works right or left and is easily ham

smooth road bed seemed amply shown.
The machine is handled BY Pisle s.

bold stroke that risked such a discus

The following is by Professor Hilgard.
of the California State University:
By far the most convenient, and at
present certainly the cheapest and most
available source of nitrogen at command
of the farmer, is Chile saltpetre, which
contains about 16 per cent. of nitrogen,
in its most effective form. From $50 to
200 pounds per acre is the usual dose;
more than this will not be used by the
crop plants in one season, and a surplus
is likely to be washed out of the soil by
the winter rains. Moreover, an exces-
sive application might result in too
much wood and too little fruit, and
that fruit of sappy, favorless charac-
ter, though of large size.
Sulphate of ammonia is the other
most available source of nitrogen obtain
able in commerce.: good commercial ar
ticle contains twenty per cent. and over,
of nitrogen. 1t does not, however, act.
quite as rapidly as the Chile saltpetre
To the citrus growers, then. who at
present appear to be most concerned
about the fertilizer question, 1 would
say that, well cured stable and sheep
corral manure apart, their best resort at
present is the commercial phosphates
and superphosphates of high honest
grade, mixed, either by themselves OF
by the manufacturer, with proper pre-
portion of Chile saltpetre or ammonia
sulphate, and generally no potash what
ever.

The house committee on agriculture
has decided to place at the disposal of
the secretary of agriculture $15, 900 to be
expended in making an investigation
into the diseases of fruit in California.
So reads news item going the rounds.
Such action by congress is pleasing to
every fruit grower in California If the
right men are appointed and the work is
properly done it will be of great value.
But why California alone? Are there
no other states and territories on this
coast which do, and will, grow immense
quantities of fruits that need the assist
ance of the government much more than
California? California should have the
own fruit, tree and vine diseases, and to
look after her ever increasing army of
noxious and aggressive bugs.
With the newer states of Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and Arizona it Is
different. These have been recently set
tied by people who have no knowledge
of the diseases and insects peculiar to
this coast. Therefore they should be in
cluded in the territory covered by the
appropriation. OF course, an investiga-
ton of California fruit diseases would
benefit the whole coast. The appropri-
alton should be favored by all. AS "ha]f
loaf is better than no bread" it would
not be good policy to interfere when con-
gress makes move to help the fruit
grower. Let them have their say now,
for when the ice is once broken we can
all get what we want.
