RECENT REFLECTIONS.

F. J. Murphy says the farmers Of
Illinois and Missouri whom he saw on
his trip last week are much worse of
than those Of this county. They COM
plain more and really seem to have
more cause for it.
W. H. H. Bonebrake's many
friends will be pleased to read this
excerpt from letter to the REFLEc-
TOR Just received from him at st.
Louis: 81 am on with the Majestic
Steel Range Co. for another year with
Ohio and Pennsylvania for territory.
My wife is spending the holidays with
me here and is enjoying it. | wish
you big 1897 and all the good things

Had a Small House.

A painfully small audience was al
the Bonebrake Tuesday night to SCI
mesmerism show given by 0. L.
Boucher. The performer is very
young but he accomplished severa
interesting demonstrations of hypnot
ism that those present enjoyed.
A petition is being prepared for pre-
sentation to the opera house manager
asking that for period Of five years
from date all shows with threshine
machines, railway trains, self binders
and traction engines in the play, OF
that have ever been here before OF
that include hypnotism and sleight Of
hand performances, also Uncle Toms
Cabin shows, be barred from the
opera house. By that time the town
will be ready for them again.

ABILENE LEFT OUT.
Dickinson Pops Don't Like the Ap'
uellate Court Deal.

pellate Court Deal
II there was one thing more than
another that the Populists Of Dickin-
son counted on it was two clerkships
out Of the three in the appellate
court northern division. Indeed it is
claimed that Judge Mahan was under
pledge to bring here those aforesaid
clerkships, the central and eastern
division. Mr.. 'rroxel was positive
that be was to have one and there
were others who counted on some
thing. But Mr.. Mahan did not con-
suit the wishes Of the Abileneites and
nobody from Abilene is fixed yet
The appointments went to Mr..
Thompson Of Seneca, Democrat,
for the eastern division; and to Mr..
Gates Of Mankat0 Tor this division, IS
the REFLECTOR predicted it would
sometime ago. Mr.. Mahan has but
one other place to give out-the posi-
ton Of stenograpter in his own
court. 1t is reported that J. ".
Miller Of this city has lead pipe
cinch on this but he may be mis-
taken. Most Of the boys seem to be
getting left this year.
A new candidate for state grain in

SALARIES OF ACTORS.
some of Them Are Even FabulousIy
Large.

Sarah Bernhardts salary is $1,000
week. Yvettc Guilbert receives. under her
present contract. 1000 week, and Calve
earns $1,000 for each OF her appearances.
Olga Nethersole ea rms $3.50 week What
with his salary and percentage OF the re-
ceipts. John Drew makes i'm good times
$500 week. 4 competent leading man or
woman, like Henry Miller or Herbert
Kclcey. Viola Allen or Isabel Irving. can
he had for $500 a week.
The only player that has ever received,
even in this prodigal country, a salary
equal to that of Bernhardt was Nine. Nodes
ka. Edwin Booth, who knew nothing bout
the value OF money, once engaged the Polish
actress at a salary OF 81 800 week.
Mr.. Graus contract with Gulbert lasts
only two weeks, after which she returns to
the cheap prices of Paris. Calves contract
lasts five months. but during that time she
sings only twice or three times a week,
after which she returns to the moderate
salaries Of Europe.I [:
Melba receives $500 a night in this
country, but in Paris she is content with
$500 pcrforma nee. But Sarah Bern
hardts contract continues through summer
and winter, and every Saturday night she
another, the actress is better off than the
singers.
Averaging the entire income OF each per
formance, we should say that Calve earns
$4,000 year, Guilbert about S35, 900,
while Bernhardt is sure of $4,000 an
nually for five years.
