,..ocia,ed Press Dispatches
 Yrw YORK, May 22.--W. c. Edgar ,odE J. Phelps arrived on the steamer columbia last evening, their trunks Hlsd with mementoes of their visit to pos.ia. MT. Phelps left immediately ior Minneapolis via Philadelphia. Mir. r5var, with Mrs. Edgar, who came to Now York to meet him, will leave We'd nesdsy for s. Lous and reach Minneap. ois in about & week.
 Mr. Edgar's room at the Imperial is .,rewn with Russian curiositiee, Among ,Sem % are two carved wooden platters on sSirh symbolic bread and salt were nresented him by the newspaper men ES Petersburg and citizens of Libau. 0n the border of each platter is carved tbe motto, Bread is the Staff of Liie," in Russian. The salt dishes are exceed l. inrIy dainty pieces of workmanship. He has also samples of Russian black hraad made from weeds and containing scarcely any nourishment. They are orcjble reminders of the famine.
 Dr. Talmsge consulted Mir. Edgar to- day with reference to the cargo of grain abou, to be sent to Russia by the Chris tian Herald. Mr. Edgar suggested brip,iug Russian articles to America to sell, Ievoting the proceeds to the relief d Russian peasants. He says the Russian women are very skillful with inc loom, and samples of their work brought with him verified the asser- ton.
 Mir. Edgar travelled through the fam inc districts experimenting the distri- button of the Missouri's cargo. He says the suffering from hunger, typhus and smallpox is intense. The government and private systems. of relief arc well orpanized. No one is now actually starving except in districts distant from the railways which cannot be reached. Some remote districts cut of from com mlnicatiOn during the winter can now be reached by way of the rivers. The government, through village councils, gives out rations as loans to able-bodied adults, one pound day. Children and old people depend on private benefac- tions in some places. All young chil- dren have died. Some of the landed prOprietors have made themselves bank rupt in their effort to feed the peasants On their estates.
 American contributions have been only a drop in the bucket, though Americans sent much more than any other country. The English Quakers contributed generally. but Mir. Edgar could not get free transportation oi
 ..h
 The cargo of the Missouri was received with the deepest gratitude and sent to the famine districts by the government. It took precedence over other freights on the railroads. Mir. Edgar says the suffering will continue till the harvest in August, at least. Even if the har- vests are good, he believes it will take five years for the country to recover from the effects of the famine and be- come self supporting.

Mistakes of
 Advertisers.

h not employing brains enough, when brains are sadly needed. It lsa very common error for adver- users to put second class produc- tlons in first class space in a news paper and confidently look for ex- 'raordinary results. You cannot
 expect a mans work from boy, neither must you anticipate profit table returns from poorly construc- ted, stupidly written advertise ments meant to appeal to the intel- iigent public. The wording of an
 advertisement is an all-important factor. The make up, style, attrac- uVeness, snap and strength of catchiness, all have their strong polnts-but a successful writer of advertisements will concisely state 'he truth in pleasant manner and safely calculate on fruitful results.

BUSINESS DEMANDED IT.
The Benefit to Have Double Store
for It's Large Stock,

II Ia always pleasant to report the
success of deserving business house
and its enlarging sphere of usefulness.
Hence there will more than the usual
interest attach to the news Of the lease
by the Benefit Of the old Pinkham
store next door and the announcement
that 1t will occupy two large store
rooms instead of one. All know the
small business MIR. Hrsch found when
six years ago he took personal charge
of the Benefit. From that time 1t
commenced to grow and soon a single
floor was not large enough for the
stock. A "double deckn was the next
venture. This too has proved too
small and the result is the opening of
this additional store room. In 1t will
be put a complete clothing stock while
the present room will be devoted to
dry goods. Mr., Ilirsch and his six
assistants will endeavor to please every
customer and will as usual dispense the
great bargains for which the Benefit is
noted.
The Benefit has built up its present
large business strictly on merit, 1t has
won the confidence of the public by
always doing what 1t agreed to and
never advertising what it did not have.
The fact that it has special buyer in
Chicago in the person Of MIR. llirsch's
brother has enabled it to get bargains
that no other house could approach.
1t has secured bargains in drygoods
and clothing 80 unexampled and has
placed them on sale at such remarkably
low prices that its patronage has not
only extended TO the remotest portions
of the county but far beyond Dickin-
sons limits. Large bills IRE even sold
to merchants Of surrounding towns
who know what bargains are.
With the new double store and a
larger stock than ever the Benefit may
be expected to give its patrons still
greater advantages and as ever no one
will be disappointed in the returns
received.

CHILDREN ENJOYED IT.
A Bonfire That Was Larger Than Ex-
pected Navarro Notes.


Special REFLECTOR Correspondence,
NAVARRO, July about O'Clock
last evening the barn and granary ON
Walter Messing's farm near Belle
Springs was burned to the ground.
The little children thought it would
be nice to see a fire, but when the fire
began to spread they became frightened
ard called 10 their mother to come aud
put it out, but by the time she got
there a hay stack near by was on fire
and she could do nothing to save the
barn, There was very little grain
burned but all the farming tools slowed
In the granary were destroyed, such as
plow, lister, corn planter, drill and
many other small tools. There was no
stock in the stable at the time. Mr.
Messing was away from home harvest
ing, The loss can hardly be estimated
at present but we understand it is
partly covered by insurance.
George Stiles and wife returned from
Idaho Wednesday. George says Kansas
is a better place to live and has come
back to make this his future home.
Several people from this part of the
county attended the picnic in NottoIf's
grove near Dillon on the 4th and report
a pleasant time. Q, s. Crawford and
q. Wine from Abilene addressed
the people. Their remarks were VI II
chosen and listened to with interest.
Wheat is being harvested In all parts
Of the neighborhoOd, most of it being
cut with binders thus far but the
b aders will be at work this week.
Some damage WAS done to windows
by Wednesday, hail, but little damage
to crops is reported.
The rain Friday night will greatly
benefit oats and corn,
Robert Gaffney came out from Abb.
lene to spend the 4th with his parents
Several Of the.young peopls: intend
going to Abilene to attend normal this
week.
1t seems as though school teachers
would be plenty this fall, some districts
having had several teachers looking foI
schools. They seem to think IL best tC
apply in time and avoid the lush after
school meetings have been held.

A HUSBANDS TRIALS,

I've been doing womAns work for at least .
week, or more;
And III own II isn't any thing like fun
For when you try to think that your iabor's
nearly DER,
You will often ind you've only just begun.
There IL boiling and there's bakingi
There Is sweeping and bed making;
And thousand other things not understood
by such novice as L,
And so won't deny
That would not be woman n could.
This Is how It came AbOuu My wife was taken
sick,
No help was to 30 had, 30, like Ounce,
thought I'D try my hand, but l found out very
quick,
That couldn't think Of everything At once
The IRE was slowly dying
When put the steak a-frying,
And the cat was making havoc with tho bread
had prepared for toasting
While the apple that was roasting
Was plaything for the pug, upon the bed
When went to wash the dishes, found the
kettle dry;
The spout was melted on, and on the floor
II lay perfect wreck, that awoke a ponsive
sigh,
As I thought upon the happy days Of yora
REFLECTED on the bliss
OF domestic scenes like this,
And couldn't hit on any other plan.
II might be called bewitching,
But the work done in q kitchen,
Is not within the scope Of common man.
So ia like TO mention this to every friend and
ncighbor,
That woman's work is never ovcrdrawn;
Ny respect is something greater for the house
wife's daily labor
Since the trials have lately undergone.
Their woes arc not misstated,
For I've been initiated
And I'm bound to help them every time can
There's rocompense in doing
What alone IL worth pursuing,
And woman's loving labor Is a blessing unto
man.

Dickinson County Farmers Keep on
Reducing Mortgages.

s"SAhNAab AAVANbooNes
Nothing can stop Dickinson county
farmers in their onward progress in
reducing mortgage indebtedness. June
was busy and Improbable month but
here was the record:
Farm mortgages fled 81, 6lT
Farm mortgages released .......... .... IS,lii
Excess OF releases. .........t......... 81 SCI
City mortgages filed ................. e. 1891
City mortgages released ............... sea
Excess Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. SOC
Total excess OF re easos ..... .......... 35,4is
So much for June. Remember that
the releases were none Of them by
foreclosure. The clerk of the court in
addition released g., $50 by foreclosure.
That land is in demand is shown by
the fact that IL farms were sold for
1898 At least SO per cent of the
mortgages fled were for purchase
money, hence that much increasing the
advance in getting out of debt.
