Has a Fine Equipment.

C. W. Parker, who is making more
money than anybody manufacturing,
shipping and operating his palace
shooting galleries, has just sold the
right for the entire state Of California
and is shipping out a splendid new
gallery, handsomely decorated, to
Pomona, Cal. With it goes a Witte
gasoline engine by which the mechan-
ism is operated and which is a mar
velous- piece Of motive power. 1t
does its work admirably and ispraised
by all for its effectiveness. Mr..
Parker has more calls for his galleries
than he can easily fill. The invention
has proved one Of the best amuse-
ment enterprises now before the
public and is making every operator
splendid money.

Bought a Fine Farm.

Charles Kubach, general manager
OF the National Fence Machine COM
pany, made an extensive purchase OF
Dickinson county realty today when
he bought for spot cash the G. W.
Coble farm southwest Of the city. 1t
is a magnificent piece of property,
800 acres OF bottomland, unexcelled
in the county. For it Mr.. Kubach
paid $4,000 cash. When it is remem-
bered that Mr.. Kubach has for two
years Travelled extensively over east
ern Kansas and Missouri it is a high
tribute to Dickinson real estate for
him to finally invest in this county.
Mr.. Kubach has secured property to
be proud of and will never regret his
acquisition.

including appointments Of all kinds,
given each county. Dickinson county
is credited with al males; 2 females
8 employees receive per diem and fees
/ Of which Is an old soldier; salary II
males, t9,O5O; 2 females, t616. Total
yearly salary, $9,666." One Of these
is not properly credited to Dickinson.
-Four Of the remainder do not now
hold positions, so that the county
really has six places. 1t deserves
them though and more too and we are
glad it is getting Its innings.

Never Was in II.

Emporia Gazette: "Another poet" "
says the ABILENE REFLECTOR, "has
broken out at Empora. Abilene's
output Of versitiers will have to be in
creased II the town is to maintain its
lead as a poetry center" The truth
Of the matter is there are only seven
poets in Emporia = three women,
three men and populist. The total
capacity is only 81 quires a day, and
the output is considerably lower.
Emporia never was in it with Abilene.

MUST PAY THE COSTS.
A Kansas Statute Works a Manifest
Hardship in Court.

Sometimes the law does not accom-
plish all that it seems 1t should and
an instance came up IN district court
when In the case OF VIM. Kandt VS.. g.
r. !. & P. Railway company, motion
for a new trial was denied and judg-
ment was rendered for plaintiff for
$3.50 and $25 attorneys fees, accord
ing to the findings Of the jury at the
trial a few days ago. 1t is unfortun.
ate in this case that the plaintiff must
pay the costs incurred in the district
court. This results from the fact
that the railroad company offered in
writing before the trial in the Justices
court to confess judgment for s25 and
costs, and the plaintiff having recov-
cred only $25 judgment the statute
says the costs incurred after the offer
to confess judgment shall be taxed
against the eplaintiff, unless he obtains
a judgment greater than the offer.
Thus Mr., Kandt is considerably the
loser by having carried the case to
court, even though he secured a judg-
ment against the road.
Court held a short session Wednes'
day at which several motions were
argued, the case above mentioned be-
ing the most important But one i'm
portant case remains on the docket,
the suit against Abilene to collect gas
bonds. 1t is set for March A when
court will again meet.

NO SUCH A THING.
Parsons Sends Out Mislsading Re.

In the press dispatches Of Sunday

PARSONS, Kas., Feb, PAN order
has been issued by Bishop Fink, Of
Kansas, for the removal Of the head
quarters Of the sisters Of St. Joseph
from Abilene to this city, where the
society proposes to maintain large
college.

and Is a fact untruthful. The Re-
FLEcT0R interviewed Mother Superior
Bernard Of Mt. St. Joseph's college
and learned the true facts
in the case. There are nine
mission schools conducted by the
Sisters in eastern Kansas. Parsons
has been working for some time to
get another school and has apparent
Q
ly succeeded. The headquarters"
and college will remain at Abilene as
before and a two room school will be
established at Parsons. Four or five
teachers will be sent from Abilene to
instruct in the school. All the other
teachers and the mother superior
will remain here The Sisters are
well pleased with their location here
and Abilene is proud to note the in
creasing prosperity Of their school as
well as pleased to know that it will
remain here and continue to be
credit to the city.

for time last night. The Judge, at
the conclusion Of the trial, sent the
jury out with instructions to remain
until a verdict was found. The jury
men did not find the case easy to dis

agree. Fixing up a sealed finding
to that effect they proceeded to dis
charge themselves and 60 home with
