SINGERS DID WELL.
Presbyterian Concert Pleases a Large
Audience.

The concert given at the opera house
in the Presbyterian course Thursday
evening by the church choir assisted
by score Of the city's best musicians
was greeted by large and admiring
audience. The program was SO ex-
cellent that every number deserves
praise and each was accorded merited
applause. DR.. M. H. Hewett, choir
master Of the Presbyterian church,
directed the choruses and his excel
lent training was manifest in the per-
lection Of the music. Only one selec-
ton was followed by repetition,
"The Spider and the Fly" a charm
ing part song, the composer Of which
is Theo. Mosher, formerly of Abilene
but now Of Chicago. This evoked the
most applause Of the evening. The
solos by Mr.. Speer, Mrs. H. J. Hodge,
Mr. Upshaw and Mrs. Stambaugh
were charming; the piano duets by
Misses Hawk and McInerney and by
Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Glimpse as well
as Miss Hodges piano solo were in
the performers usual talented man
ner; while DR.. and Mrs. Hewett's duet
was of course delightful. The church
may well feel proud of the success
which has attended its course thus
far. 1t has been pleasing and salts

GONE TO HER REWARD.
Mrs. A. F. Oswald, Loved as Wife,
Mother. Friend, Ia Daad

Quietly as the falling Of the winter
frost came the touch Of the death an
gelThursday night to the Oswald home
on North Spruce when the wife and
mother, Mrs. A. I. Oswald, crossed The
river to the heavenly land. For six
years she has been afflicted with rheu-
matism so as to be unable to walk,
but during all her suffering she has
exhibited remarkable Christian pa
thence. Her last moments were very
peaceful and she died in the triumphs
Of her Christian faith-to quote the
expression she so often used, she "fell
asleep in Jesus"
Sarah A. Oswald was born in New
York City July 6, 1928. When about
20 years Of age she moved to Brook
lyn, N. Y. She was married to A. I.
Oswald April 20, 1851. She with her
husband lived in Brooklyn until they
moved to Russell, Kas, in 1883.
From Russell they moved to Abilene
in June, 1896. TO them were born
six sons and three daughters, all of
whom except the Oldest son and
youngest daughter are living: Arthur
in Brooklyn, N. Y; Alfred, Staten Is
land, N. Y; Edward, Wood River,
Neb. Frederick, Salt Lake City, Utah;
Amos, Jr., Vinland, Mich; the two
daughters, Sarah and Estella, are at
home in Abilene. Mrs. Oswald was
converted Feb. II, 1864, uniting with
the M. L. church, and has been CON
sistent and devout Christian. Her
devoted Christian life was the means
Of her husbands conversion. She
was loved as wife, mother and friend,
and her acquaintance made during
her residence in this city will sincerely
mourn her decease.
Funeral services will be held at the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, Rev. +. E. Tarbill oific-
iating. Interment in Abilene Gem
etery.

Having the needed merit to more
than make good all the advertising
claimed for them, the following four
remedies have reached u phenomenal
sale. DR.. Kings New Discovery, for
consumption, coughs and colds, each
bottle guaranteed-Electric Bitters,
the great remedy for liver, stomach
and kidneys. Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
the best in the world, and DR.. Kings
New Life Pills, which are perfect

teed to do Just what is claimed for
them and the dealer whose name is

ABILENE REGIMENT NO. /.
Of Course Volunteers Can Be Found
for the Venezuela War.

1t is natural that Abilene should be
at the front in the new war scare and
we understand that a thousand men
can be found in short notice to take a
hand in case the Venezuela troubles
make any such action necessary. The
organization will be called Abilene
Regiment No. |, and the material for
officers is abundant. Some think
that D. X. Gorden or Dave Matteson
ought to lead it but the young fellows
want a hand and Ed Little, Harvey
Scott, George Rogers and Sam Smith
will be active candidates for the
Office Of colonel. John Preston
Campbell will be color bearer and
poet "lariatN to the regiment.
The captains are likely to be dis
tributed among the young crowd,
too, and you need not be surprised
if Charlie snider, Frank Glimpse, Pitt
Halleck, Harry Lifts, Ed Malott, Ar
thur Cowles or dozen others are
listed to lead the charge to the can
mons mouth. Below captain there
are no candidates and nobody is yet
mentioned for private but some one
can doubtless be found for that office.
The REFLECTOR will send a special
correspondent with the troops and we
hope Grover will call them out as
soon as possible. The coming three
months are going to be mighty dull
times from news standpoint and we
would like nothing better than thrill
ling account from the front Of the do
ings Of the Abilene veterans. Then
think Of the home-cqmihgl There
would be bigger reception and ban
quet than the football team had--and
all the boys would draw pensions.

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev, j.
