FOUND THE BODY.
Tho Victim Of the Drowning Acct
dent Easily Recovered.
From Tuesdsy's Dally.]

The searching party which went to
the river to find the remains Of James
Ackley, drowned yesterday afternoon,
was successful in recovering the body
about ) o'clock. II was found n few
feet upstream from the point where
the young man went through the ice,
20 feet from shore and in A to 3 feet
Of water. It seems ine1plcable that
the youth should have drowned in 80
shallow place, especially as the ice
was only one inch thick and he might
have broken his way TO shore. But
bundled as he was In a heavy overcoat
he was doubtless hampered in his
movements and quickly chilled by the
Icy current.
A real bravery was shown by the
drowning boy, as related by his
younger brother who was with him.
The tive boys had been with their
father on the southsidc Of the stream
The father started to drive the team
around by the bridge home to town
while the boys undertook to walk
home, crossing ON the Ice. When
James fell in the little brother ran
back and held him Il stick TO pull him
out but James refused to take it say
ing; Il will pull you in too Run
and tell father to come and help me
out" 0bedient to the order the little
fellow ran at his best speed but long
before he had given the alarm the
cold waters had closed over his
brothers form,
1t Is remarkable that OF the drown
Ing accidents in this vicinity in the
past decade all but one have been
within a mile Of the same spot. Harry
Hunton, Charlie Sauers, Clarence
Reynolds, the two Rohrigs and James
Ackley have persisted In the waters
there. Young Sexton was drowned
farther upstream
Funeral services were held at the
M. 4. church at 8 p. m. today, Rev.
+ +. Tarbl officiating.

Treasurer G. A. Hodge reported
$4,S57 on hand in the treasury and

He was instructed hereafter whenever
the treasury has $500 on hand to adj
yertise in the REFLECTOR for the
presentation OF warrants TO that
amount by precedence of num-
Der and stop interest thereon from

save considerable sum to the dis

J.R. BURTON AHEAD.
Topeka Correspondents Concede That
He Is Leading.

The following from Topeka today
indicates how Abilene's statesman is
coming to the front in the senatorial
race:
Topeka journal. In the senatorial
situation today, j. r. Burton Is re-
ported to have gained three votes
which had up to this morning been
conceded to Mr.. Ady.
These are said to be the votes OF
Seventh district members but their
names are not given.
Kansas City Times; There is no
material change in the senatorial
situation. None of the candidates
will give out any figures although
each claims to be in the lead. Repre-
sentative Seaton stated In CONVEX
sation with the Times correspondent
today that John J. ingalls, was not in
the senatorial race.
Kansas City Journal; The senator
ial situation remains practically as IT
was yesterday, except that the arrival
Of members has strengthened the
the position of each of the candidates.
The managers for Major Hood dispute
quite spiritedly today that Mr.. Ady
Is second in the race. They claim an
accession Of votes which puts the
major in that position, but the Ady
men are just as confident as ever that
he stands next to Mr.. Burton. The
first place is generally accorded to
the latter gentleman, but the othel
candidates affect TO believe that this
Is no indication Of what the final out
come may be.

A BIG MONTHS BUSINESS.
The Excelsior Fence Machine Com
pany's Splendid Success.

The Excelsior Fence Machine COM
pany held stockholders meeting
last evening and all were agreeably
surprised at the report Of tho past
months business by Manager Charles
Kubach. Its profits were so large
that dividend Of 800 per share was
declared. making $ls7 dividends on
each. share since last spring. 1t Is
doubtful If any business enterprise in
the city ever paid so handsomely
and it is largely due to Mr. Kubach's
splendid management of popular
and valuable machine. The machines
sell themselves and hundreds Of pur-
chasers Of them and Of rights to sell
them testify to its excellence.
Mr. Kubach not only is sole owner
of the right to sell the Excelsior
machine but has some new patents on
a similar one, the Little Dandy, which
will prove equally popular The new
machine has several improvements
on the Excelsior and will henceiorth
| be handled instead. All should take
notice that the Little Dandy Is the
first chain machine patented and any
chain machine similarly made is an
infringement and,parties selling the
same are liable to prosecution and
damages. The company will vigor-
ously prosecute any infringement.
II anybodywants to make money
place on the ground floor with Mr..
Kubach would seem to be q mighty
good way and it would be the height
of foolishness to invest in any untried
patent engineered by inexperienced
persons.
Composed as it is Of Abilenc's best
business men and handling an article
of recognized merit it is a pleasure to
commend The Excelsior Fence Machine
company and its wideawake and sue
cessful manager.

Chapman Don't Like 1t.

Our neighboring city Of Chapman
Is not pleased with the notoriety given
it by the Christian Herald's appeal
for help for starving (P Kansans and
naming that town as a place to send
supplies. A leading citizen Of Chap
man writes us:
ut is a shame that an article like
that in the Christian Herald should go
out; people will think we are suffering
here and send contributions for starv-
ing farmers Of this county. Eastern
papers should repudiate it at once.
The agent who's receiving the con
tributions is comparatively stranger

ago from Ohio. There sno suffer-
ing at this point whatever and don't
see what they are going to DO with
the contributions. 1t is an outrage

JANHs ACKLEY LOSES HIS LIFE
N THE SMOKY HILL.
While Crossing the River an Air Hole
Took Him Into the Treacherous
Current The Body Not Yet Re-
covered.
From Mondays Daily !

About $3.50 this afternoon terri
BILE fatality occlrred on tho Smoky
Hill, in which James Ackley, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs, W. $. Ackley, living at
North Mulberry and Sixth streets,
lost his life. The young man (he was
aged 1877 had been busy much OF the
winter cutting wood along the river
southeast OF town and today was as
ssting in loading a sawmill south OF
the river opposite the Case 4 Bing-
ham farm, one and a half miles east
on the Enterprise road.
His brother, a lad Of about 10 years,
was with him and they started to
cross the river on the ice coming to-
ward the north side. The younger
boy crossed safely but James eNi-
IDENTIFY walked into one Of the air
holes which, because of the swift cur
rent, are so common along the river
below the dam. There was a crash
and shrek from James as the ice
gave way beneath him and he went
down into the icy current. Tie could
not lift himself by the edges of the
frail Ice and soon was seen no more.
The younger brother came home and
gave the sad news.
The event was u fearful blow TO the
stricken parents who were depending
much on the help given them by their
sou just entering on manhood
The ice above the dam is not con-
sidered at all dangerous, water there
having been without a current. II is
only where the stream is flowing
its natural course that tho air holes
are found.

Elder Il. Davidson Writes Of Them In
a Church pAper.

The Independent Of New York, the
greatest family published in America.
has for the present week asymposium
Of IS columns on the work Of the var
ious denominations during 1894, each
sect being written Of by a leading
member. Elder H. Davidson, Of the
Evangelical Visitor Of this city, writes
Of the River Brethren as follows;
regret to say that nothing appar-
emily has been done during the year
In reference to a closer union between
the different branches Of what was
once the United Church Of the
"Brethrenin Christ"(River Brethren);
but there is not any doubt that there
is a large number in the different
divisions that very much desire a re-
union.
Some years ago efforts were made
in our general conference to remove
certain existing obstacles, and meas
urably the way was opened; but 1t
has not resulted in winning any great
number back, tho We are hopeful that
in some way God will bring about the
much desired result.
There is really no ground for divi-
sion, lho doctrine is the same, and the
same general appearance ofself-denial
is apparent in the different divisions;
and believe a union would be hailed
by all who love God as great bless
ing.
With regard to the work Of the last
year, by or within the church, MS re-
presented BY the Visitor, think not
rs much has been doue as duty re-
quires should have been accomplished,
yet some progress has been made,
especially in the mission field, largely,
however, in the West, During the
last summer efforts have been made
by use Of gospel tent work, and con-
siderable progress has been made dur
Ing the fall and early winter; this has
been followed up by efforts in many
