DIDN'T STOP HER.
A Lively Elopement Which Was
Amply Successful.

Those who were at the depot as the
midnight train pulled in last night may
not have noticed a carriage which
drove up on the south side of the track
OF the young man and young woman
who alighted there from and stepped
aboard the train without purchasing a
ticket. Tbs train had scarcely gone
out of sight when another vehicle
drove up this with only a man in it,
a grizzled farmer and he was more
than disappointed to fluid that he could
not also get aboard.
81 chased them for 90 miles, he
said this morning as he was starting
for home, "OutI was just too late.
The young Teller is no good and 1
know it. He came to our place about
three weeks ago and pretended to be
looking for work. l employed him
and 1 must say he did we'll
II sent him to Abilene two or three
times with produce and he always
brought back all the money. But one
day he was seen down near town by
neighbor and was riding with my
daughter whom L supposed was going
to school in our district. l scolded
him but it was no use. They went
together several times and last night
just after had gone to bed l heard
noise in the barn. 1 didn't pay much
attention for awhile; then got uneasy
and went out. Sure enough the car
riage and team were gone. l hitched
up the open buggy and went to the
Justices, for l saw that Lettie was
gone too. He told me that he had
married the two and they had started
toward Abilene. 1 saw their wagon
ahead several times but they had the
best horses and 1 could not catch them.
L suppose they are headed for Dakota.
He says he has claim there
The farmer refused to give his name
but said he lived near the county line.
The young man gave his name az Win
throp and was tall and good looking.
He and his bride are probably happy
somewhere over the state line.

ON CANDIDATES.
The Alliance Machinery in Motion
for the Campaign.

This week has seen a beginning of
the alliance campaign for next fall. The
nominating machinery in the alliance,
both farmers and citizens, is somewhat
complicated and takes some tine to
accomplish its work. First the sub
alliances vote on their choice for can
didates for each Office. The returns
are sent in to the central committee
which selects 2 or having the largest
number of votes and remands those
names back to the alliances to be again
voted on. The result of this ballot
decides who shall be the nominees.
The first step in the process is now
going on and the last will come in July,
when the ticket will be named in tull.
Several alliances have already declared
their preference and others Will soon.
The citizens alliance of Abilene voted
last evening. A REFLECTOR repre-
sentative who gained admittance on
the strength of his good looks says that
the lodge expressed its preference as
follows: For treasurer, w. L. Nixon;
county clerk, DR.. c. w. Brooks; sheriff,
B. NJ. Wallace; register, w. D. Mich
OILS; surveyor, S. Phillips.
1t is said that in alliances which
have thus far voted Wallace, Nixon,
Nichols and Phillips have a walk
away.
W. A. Birch wants to be sheriff
badly and B. N. Anderson and G. G.
Hutchinson, county clerk but it can
not yet be tod how the thing will turn
out.
The peoples party candidates are
putting in their time electiOneering
around among the various townships
and keep their boot soles warm looking
up supporters.

TWO DIVORCES GRANTED.
District Court Resumes It's Grind
of Business.

Of Business.
The proceedings of district court
which commenced again today had
little to enliven them except the con-
sideratiOn of two divorce cases which
came up for trial. The first was that
of Mary y. Chronister VS.. John II,
Chronister in which she put in plea of
abandonment. She was given the
divorce asked for.
Margaret Reich also wanted to get
rid of Fred Reich because Of his cruelty
to her. A divorce was granted.
The remainder of the day was taken
up with court cases. In the long con-
tinued case of Latto VS.. Latto re-
quest to have written argument sub
mitted to the court was granted.
A petition for a divorce was filed
this afternoon by Nancy Ann Jukes
who AYERS that Jefferson Jukes, her
husband, has been in the habit of
swearing at her, calling her names,
chasing her with butcher knives, shoot
ing at her, and otherwise amusing HIM
self at her expense. Jefferson lives in
Salina and seems to be a pretty hard
case,

Down in Lyon county the county
commissioners have called a special
election for June 9Th, to vote the nee
essary money for Lyon county's quota
to the Worlds fair fund. Lyon is a
hummer.
Tom Wilson's Abilene friends are
surprised and panied to see that he is
endorsing the new third party foolish
ness. Tom used to be a pretty good
republican and we believe that he is at
heart yet. What is it you are after,
Tom, blood or Doodle?
Ed Malott has patent lung tester
of his own invention that he is sam
ping the boys bronchial cavities with.
He expects to take in the Hope and
Abilene fairs and all the alliance pic
MICS this fall. He will find the most
lung power at the latter
CLAY Center Times: A young man
in Sabetha advertised for a wife and
his sister answered the advertisement;
and now the young man thinks there
is no balm in advertisements, and the
old people think it pretty hard to have
two fools in the same family.
The heavy rains in western Kansas
have caused very high water in the
Smoky Hill, Yesterday afternoon the
water commenced backing into the
old river bed near Enterprise and the
boys had an elegant time capturing
fish. The great cat and buffalo fish
went wallowing along through the grass
and were knocked in the head with
clubs or rocks. Some of the fishermen
had guns aud took their game that
way. 1t was not spOrtsman-like pro-
ceeding but it brought plenty of game.
Kansas City Gazette: A lot of
alliance men, mostly from Abilene,
were interviewed in Kansas City on
their return from Cincinnati, and each
and all were very rabid on Jerry Simp-
son. They accuse Jerry of being luke
warm on the new party movement, and
they say he is at the end of his string.
Jerry has been feasting down east,
gathering some good clothes, and other
wise shows that a 81, 900 salary. is cor
rupting and debasing. He no longer
displays his stOckingless shins, and
hence, as they say, he cannot be
elected again.
The Dickinson county delegation
returned from Cincinnati Saturday
evening covered with perspiration and
glory. Although the mighty patriots
were able to save the county if neces-
sary they were easy prey for sharpers.
They say that George Livingston had
his pocket picked of all his money and
some valuable papers the first day be
was in the city. Some sharpers got
him excited in explaining the currency
question and while he was wrestling
with the millions and billions they
went through him. George tele-
graphed home for money and didn't
talk 50 much after that.

For THE REFLECTION.

For THE REFLECTOR.
In spite of bad roads a goodly num-
Der of people gathered at Banner City
to take part in the quarterly cOnven-
ton of the Southwest District Sunday
School association.
After the opening exercises by Rev.
J, D. Cole the program was taken up.
Rev. Ford being absent, his was
dropped.
In the absence of J, w. Gibson,
County Worker Wood started the dis
cussion on the duties of the superin-
tendent. Mrs. NJ. 2. Cooley being
absent, A. S. Phillips presented the
the topic assigned to her.
County President J. H. Engle gave
an excellent normal lesson on the Sun.
day School lesson for May "a. Rev.
Palmer opened the question box which
seemed to be of unusual interest and
brought out some lively discussions.
Although some rain began to fall
before the opening of the evening ses-
sion a well filled house greeted Rev.
Seabrook and listened to his lecture,
which was interesting and inspiring.
So closed what was said to be the best
convention ever held in the southwest

RECENT REFLECTIONS.

"A marriage license was issued TO
Chas. NJ. HOrnecker and Annie NJ.
Cleveland, both of Manchester.
1t is proposed that the few demo-
Gratis left in Dickinson county be ex-
hibited at the Worlds fair in 1898.
The third party scheme does not
seem to be very enthusiastically re-
ceived by the alliance republicans of
this vicinity.
The next scare according to the
Wichita Eagle will be that the catfish
are injuring the corn by gnawing the
young stalks.
"A new band is being formed.
1t will make its appearance on Memo
rial day as drum corps appendix to
the procession.
We are indebted to the county
Sunday school worker, c. d. Wood,
for a copy Of the proceedings Of the
State Sunday school convention.
The North Dickinson Sunday
school institute has been postponed
until next Sunday, May 31st, at which
time the program as previously given
will be carried out.
The city scales are ready for bust
ness aud if the boys want to see how
much their best girls weigh all that is
necessary is to drive over on southsids
and have the figures put down.

Bert stanton's New Hotel.

The many Abilene friends of the
Stantons, formerly of this city, will
read with interest this from the K. c.
Star:
o. B. Stanton, who has been asso-
ciated with his father, II. II. Stanton,
in the management Of the Centropois
hotel, has leased the Livingston hotel
at Dwight, Ills, and departed for that
city with his family last night. The
Livingston is new house of about 100
rooms and is thoroughly furnished, Mr..

from Kansas City and are experienced
hotel people. II. Fl. Stanton will con-
tinue in charge of the Centropolis. He
has just finished the first year in the

history of the house that it was sue
eessfully run. He recently secured a
long lease of the Centropolis.

Will Not Be Closed.

The rumor has been current that the
Pacific hotel would be closed soon.
We are glad to be able to say that it is
entirely unfounded. The Union
Pacific railway company will give up
its lease on the expiration, June 1st,
but the hotel will continue to run and
in first class shape, too. Further par
ticulars can be given later. Abilene

close. 1t is one of the best hotels in

The Month of Mary.
To the, o. Queen, we bring
Springs blossoms sweet and fair
And lay them at thy feet
To breathe their fragrance there.
The lIlac's purple bloom,
The modest violet blue,
The lily and the rose,
With the buttercup's golden hue,
The geranium's fragrant glow
And-the daisy's simple flower
All blossoms fresh and rare
Gathered from field and bower.
But a richer gift than these,
Sweet Mother, by thee was won
Meath Calvary's sorrowfuI cross.
Twas man to be thy son.
Then dearer than Mays sweet blooms,
Are souls by grief opprest
And child.lIke hearts all pure
These gifts thou lowest best. NJ

A Great Victory for Campbell.

The Ohio democratic state convention will be
held in Cleveland July IA and Is. Tho state
central committee has decided that the ratio Of
delegates apportioned to each county must be
made on the vote of 1890, and not that Of 1889,
which was the Campbell vote. This knocks out
the primaries Of Hamilton county democrats,
which were held last Saturday, and makes legal
the primaries Of several other counties which
have already Endorsed Gov. Campbell. Tho
committee also decides that no mass delegation
will be recognized. Allen W. Thurman will DO
temporary chairman Of the convention. This
Is q great victory for Gov. Campbell
