No Indications That the Electric
Light Works Will Go.

The people Of the city, especially
the businessmen, are growing weary
waiting for the building Of the cleo
trio light works, the foundation OF
which remains untouched on South
Spruce street ust as it was left last
fall. The plant was to have been in
running order by this time but it is
not even begun and it is generally
considered that |! will never be com
pleted. Yet Abilene wants lights for
houses and streets and is willing to
encourage the company or firm that
will put them in. A home company
could accomplish more in this matter
than any outsiders. The talk Of put
ting in an acctylene gas plant is not
likely to materialize as it has been
found that it will cost far more :han
was at first contemplated. The city
should, however, have something in
the way Of lights and now is a good
time to begin agilating the matter
again.

Special to the Reflector.
CHAPMAN, March AT. J. Kelly,
one Of old settlers OF Noble township,
living near Chapman, died this morn
ing aged 6S years. The cause Of bis
death was as peculiar as it was re-
markable. About six weeks ago
while taking ice from Chapman creek
he started to lift piece when the
tongs slipped, catching him in the
calf of one leg. Both points of the
tongs penetrated the flesh and blood
poisoning followed. For two weeks
it panied him but did not seem seri.
Gus, then it was too far advanced for
the physicians to check the trouble.
He was a respected citizen and had
many friends. Funeral services Sun
day at 10 a. m. at the Catholic
church, interment in the Catholic
cemetery.

ICE IN PLENTY.
Abilene Creamery Begins Erection Of
an Ice Plant

An important step toward the sup
plying of an abundance of pure ice
was taken today when the Belle
Springs Creamery Co. began the
erection of an ice plant at the
creamery in the eastern suburbs Of
the city. The Barber company Of
Chicago is erecting the plant and it
will have a capacity of three tons a
day, sufficient for the creamery's use
and considerably in excess. Manu-
featured as it will be from pure Sard
Springs water it will be the purest
ice ever sold in Abilene. With such
supply of water as the city has it
should never lack for ice and indica-
tions are that henceforth it will never
do so.
