Special to the Reflector.
HERINGToN, July 29.-The reports
circulated during the past few days
about the disappearance Ola business
man Of this city seem to be dong a
wrong to worthy citizen and are be-
lieved by those who are in a position
to know to be entirely untrue. That
he has heen absent from the city for
several days is true, but it is under
stood that he is away on a legitimate
business trip and will return when he
has transacted the business on which
he went. He has loaned considerable
money which it is difficult to collect
and has had in his charge much
money of other parties becoming due
His absence is for the purpose of ar
ranging for the payment of this paper
until collections can be made.

The Gaines delegates were TOO
mad to talk on their return from

Sheriff Robson will not even ex-

washouts. Judge Hutchinson spoke
Of one the other day and Nick anzi'

the Judge pointed to the tapping lines
of linen that was hung out to dry.
1t is not believed that the Union

which was merged with the Denver
Republican, earned for its share, six
per cent interest on $3.50, 0O0., and
today in spite Of the hard times could
not be purchased for $25o'ooO. But
for the steady shrinkage in the other
large investments | made here which
consist entirely Of land and canal
properties, they would be worth many
times more than their original cost.
So much in explanation Of the way
| have "done business" as you say.
| do not need any mans encourage
ment to be brave and courageous.
Those, | think, are my characteristics.
Do not imagine that | am embittered
or regard life as failure | DO not
happen to be constructed in that way.
| desire merely that our laws shall be
corrected SO that | may share pro-
portionately with the people OF the
State Of Kansas, for instance, in the
restoration Of general prosperity
which should suppose in common
with your fellow.citizens, you would
ardently pray for. I. G. HENRY

WHOLESALE GROCERY.
NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
PROBABLE FOR ABILENE.
As q Result Of Jobbers' Rates q Large
Establishment May Begin Business
Here This Fall Splendid 0ppor-
tunities.

One of the first results Of the
iobbers' rates ruling is likely to be
establishment OF wholesale grocery
house here this fall by local and out
side capitalists that will rival the
Lee establishment Of Salina. Abb
lene is far better location than
Salina for all the Solomon valley and
Santa Fe lines and with iobbers rates
will have the same chance at western
Kansas. There is plenty OF money
available for the venture and 1t is
likely to be go. 1t is one Of the
first fruits OF the new rates. Others
will follow.
