BELLE SPRINGS, March 2l.-The

days session In the church at this
place.
The meeting was organized Friday

Zook moderator and Elders II. David.
son and Joseph, Of Lost Springs,
assistant moderators. II. N. Engle

Eshelman and Rev. Noah Zook as his

counties.
The attendance was the largest of
all similar meetings yet held In
the state The delegates were enter
tained by the brethren In the vicinity
In their characteristics hospitality.
Luncheon was served at moons in the
commodious basement OF the church.
This conference was remarkable for
the unusual amount Of important work
done. A question relating to the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
precipitated somew hat animated
discussion. Although the church tabled
the matter for the present, the fact
was developed that there is strong
sentiment Of teetotalism among its
members.
A committee Of whom b. Gish was
chairman reported most commend
able set of rules for the organization
and management Of the church's Sun
day schools throughout the state. They
are beautiful combination of the
Chautauqua, Congregational and Meth
oiist plans.
lnitiatory steps were taken toward
placing an evangelist in the field. A
tent will soon be purchased to he used
In preaching the gospel throughout the
state and elsewhere.
The treasurer Of the home mission

than in any preceding year, with con
siderable surplus in the treasury.
Several points Of doctrine were dis
cussed with some degree Of interest.
Elders Samuel Iook, II. Davidson
and Joseph Fike and Rev. Jacob Engle
will represent this state at the general
conference to be held at Stevensville,
Ont, in May.
The evening sessions which were de.
voted to preaching aud social worship
proved most profitable, and they were
well attended, Revs. J. II. Eshelman,
N. Zook, s. Richardson and the others
broke the bread Of life to the multi
tudes.
The services Of Sunday were largely
attended. A liberal Offering was made |
for the Russian sufferers. The SUD
day school Mt Belle Springs was reor-
ganized in the evening. The new
board Is energetic and intelligent and
will push forward the work at this
place.

at last the original small pictures began

SAND SPRINGS MEDICINE.
Advantages for Invalids In Drinking
Abilene Water.

To the Editor OF THK REFLECTOR.
1t is questionable whether our citi.
zens fully appreciate the value Of this
great boon at their doors in the Sand
Springs water. Although neither
citizens nor owners of the waterworks
system have ever made any claim for
medicinal properties in this water, 1t
Is well ascertained fact that a num-
Der Of our people afflicted with kidney
trouble and kindred diseases have been
greatly benefited and relieved by its
use. In this connection / am author.
lied TO use the name OF DR.. j. n.
Hodge, Mr.. Morley, Mr.. Norman and
numbers Of other beneGciaries, who
are prodigal In their acknowledgment
for benefits received. Some Of these
parties have spent months at the cele-
brated springs In Missouri, others have
been importing water from Missouri
but have now ceased their shipment,
all averTing that the water from Sand
Springs meets almost every condition
of the Missouri product.
In view Of these facts may we not
indulge the hope that in the near
future some opulent Esculapus will
inaugurate the establishment Of
sanitarium for the better and more
efficient utilization OF this water.
Invalids passing from tide water to
the higher attitudes Of Colorado in
quest Of health, find II necessary to
to stop off at intervals for several
weeks to accllmate their system to the
changed conditions Of atmosphere.
Why not make Abilene one Of the
intermediate resting pointsY
With an altitude OF 1866 feet above
tide water, with pure appetising water,
dry, invigorating atmosphere, freedom
from mud, immunity from malaria,
almost perpetual sunshine, dry, smooth
and level roads, we believe 1t is within
the range Of possibility to make Of
our city one OF the most healthy, desIr.
able, and widely known residence
towns in the west. Why not make
1t suchp II.

WHEAT Is ALL RIGHT.
Benefited Rather than Injured by
the Snow.


Reports which have been circulated
in the Kansas City papers that the
cold wave through central Kansas dur.
ing the past week has injured the
wheat have been entirely unfounded.
The best farmers of Dickinson county
say that instead of there being any
injury there has been positive benefit
to the fields Of this county. 1t has not
been cold enough to injure by freezing
and the large amount of moisture that
has fallen has put the ground in better
condition than in any March for years.
The wheat acreage OF the county is
large and throughout has an excellent
outlook. The winter has been far
above the average in point Of benefit to
the plant and unless there is an unex-
ampled devastation during the next
three months another magnificent crop
will be harvested.
Dickinson county farmers have
learned how to farm. There is every
year better and more thorough work
being done in putting out grain and it
is having its effect in more certain and
regular returns at harvest time. Every
thing points to season of prosperity
this year and the REFLECTOR believes
that none will be disappointed.

REPORTS FALSE.
Secretary Foster Denies There is q
Shortage In the Treasury.
SOME CHANGES IN The METHODS.
"Ihe Treasury is In n Healthy Condition
and No Ground For Fear That the
Government Cannot Meet ITS
Obligations Promptly"

New York, March 2l.-Secretary
Foster was seen in reference to a dis
patch from Washington published here
to the effect that payments OF money
were being withheld owing TO the ex.
haustion OF the treasury surplus, and
that there was danger that the reserve
OF sl0O, 200, 900 In gold would have to
Dc crawn on to tide over tho
present emergency. The secretary
said; ut Is an old story and 1t is no
nearer correct now than when II was
first told. While II is not the policy Of
the present administration TO have
locked up In the treasury a large amount
OF money which should be circulated
among the people, yet there are ample
funds TO meet all obligations They
are being met and the business Of pay.
Ing salaries and claims is being expe-
dited as rapidly as possible. There are
30 many departments for which money
has been disbursed that IL is impossible
for every one TO be paid on the same
day, but there Is no unusual delay.
Some changes have been made in
methods which formerly obtained. For
instance, over $50, 600, 900 belonging TO
the government which has been lying
In national banks has been withdrawn
and covered into the treasury. This
represents an amount which has been
drawn by the different depart
ments which have heretofore
drawn their annual appropriations
In lump and deposited It to
the credit Of the respective depart.
ments TO be used by the distributing
agents when needed. There being no
necessity, the practice has been discou-
tinued and only such amounts as are
needed are allowed to be drawn. The
treasury is in healthy condition and
there is no ground for any fear that
the government cannot meet all its OBJ.

A Fake on Abilene.

The Wichita Eagle Is responsible for
little fairy tale In which Abilene
democrats figure. Speaking Of Oliver
L. L. Ewell, the prominent democrat
and capitalist Of Kiowa, it says that he
went to see President Cleveland in
Kansas City when he visited there four
OF i've years ago. Oliver, 1t seems, is a
very strict temperance man. Those
who accompanied him were average
democrats who had no objection to
taking drink on the slightest proyoca-
tion. They made their headquarters
at the Metropolitan which had very
excellent bar room attachment. Mr..
Ewell had no objection to accompany
Ing the boys to the bar but he steadily
refused to join them In bowl Of good
cheer. About o O'Clock at night the
Abilene delegation arrived In town,
and when they filed into the bar room
1t was discovered that their leader was
actually a colored man. Mr.. Ewell,
being a Virginian, was Of course as.
tonished, and stepping up to the
colored man, who was dressed In the
regulation linen duster and white plug,
he asked him If he was really demo.
crat' The colored man emphatically
answered "yes" ard then loud hurrah
shook the house and in five minutes
thereafter Mr. Ewell was settling with
the barkeeper for the round. lie never
before saw colored democrat and he
was so glad to meet this one that he
was bound to "set em up" il it cost
him his ranch.
