London, June 21.-The Washington

reiterates his previous statement as to
the alleged instructions given by Presi-

be permitted to exercise merely a tit

be compelled to withdraw her troops
and to permit the Cubans to make
their own laws, to raise their own reve-

that Cuba must ultimately be annexed

WORK OF EXPERTS.
F. ]. Murphy's Store Entered and
Money! Taken.

Last Friday night, thieves enter.
ed the store of F. }. Murphy on North
Broadway and stole$lS.05. Entrance
was gained by wrenching the upper
sash on one of the west windows from
its fastenngs. The window is To-
Gated in the alley and the thieves had
plenty Of time to effect the entrance.
Whoever took the money knew
exactly Mr. Murphy's doings and
habits. He is the clerk of the
Modern Woodmen and keeps money
collected through the day in cigar
box and hides it at night in different
places in the store. Last night it
amounted to $1S.O5 and was put
away as usual.
Mr.. Murphy can discover nothing
else taken and the thieves must have
known Of the money and where it
was kept.

PRATHER IN EVIDENCE.
Abilene's Former Preacher Wants a

anxious public has heard from an old
Abilene citizen who was particularly
in evidence here at one time. Every
body knew that it was only question
Of time when Rev. Z. l.. Prather
would wake up again. The Salina
Republican says that letter has been
received by Capt. C. W. Banks, Of
that city, from Rev. J. Nj. Kendall,
of Dana, Indiana, asking what Cap
tain knows as to the standing Of one
Rev. E. l.. Prather, a former resident
of Abilene. Prather is established a
footholder in that place. An ex-party
council of the Baptist church has been
called to determine Prather's minis
terial standing. Capt. Banks evil
dence is called for. The Captain is in
a position to know about the Rever-
end gentleman's standing, as he was
prosecuting attorney when Prather
was tried for public indecency and
convicted and sentenced to Jail
for 80 days and to pay a fine OF $l.5O.
After languishing in Jail for period,
he furnished bond He was then dis
charged from custody, and when Dis
trict court convened, he was missing.
He drifted off to the south, and his
fragrant presence was heard of in
Indian Territory, Texas and Arkan-
sas at intervals. He is thus fugi-
tive from justice and the captain can
furnish the certificate that is needed.
The warrant stands against him and
he can be arrested at any time that
the county attorney wants him.

Suit Against Kansas Grocers.

Thursdays Capital says that there
was commenced in the district court
at Marion Wednesday a suit, filed by
the county attorney, in which the
state is plaintiff and several wholesale
and jobbing grocery firms are defend
ants. The petition alleged that a
trust has been formed to control the
prices of groceries in this state. The
dispatch further says that temper
airy injunction was granted by Judge
Moore. As the Judge hasn't been in
Marion for some time, and had not
heard Of the case until it appeared in
the Capital, the injunction must have
been granted by Marion county's pro-
bate court.

BEHIND THE BARS.
Abilene Jailbreaker Again Playing
Checkers.

Sheriff Robson returned from Ar
gentine last Saturday with Orvillt
Mitchell, the eighteen-year-old boy
who escaped from Jail Tuesday
night.
Young Mitchell says he was liber.
ated about u o'clock by man on the
outside who threatened him with
death unless he consented to escape.
Only short crowbar was used. the
man chiseing away the brick while
the boy removed the window sash.
The hoy says be was partly out of the
hole when the west bound passenger
train went through, but had to 60
back to enlarge the opening. Every
time a noise was made the man pre-
| pared to welcome intruders with a big
revolver he carried. After the escape
was made, instructions was given the
boy to take the first train out and not
allow himself to be recaptuGed under
penalty of death. A freight went east
Immediately after the westbound pas
senger, stop was made at junction
and at Manhattan, the Rock Island
was taken to Topeka; A wheat car
afforded transportation to Kansas
City. A full description had been
sent to the authorities of the cities at
the Kaw's mouth, hence the easy APP
prehension. The boy was spotted as
soon as he had dropped from the cars.
The man who helped him escape gave
him 80 cents and offered a big revol.
yer, which the boy declined.
1t was the intention Of the man to
release Morgan, with whom he was in
partnership, and declared that he
would yet do so.

lated upon the securing of Mitchell,

Irrigation Again In Evidence
To the Editor of the Reflector.

To the Editor of the Reflector
In view of the general suspension
and discredit of irrigation in central
Kansas, because of more favorable
climatic conditions for the past season,
it is interesting to note and contrast
the difference in crop results between
those who have discarded and those
who have practiced this system of
culture. 1t is conceded that vegeta-
ton and growing crops have suffered
more or less deterioration this season
from drouth conditions at intervals
between periods of rain fall. Most
notably the tomato crop is practically
failure in Dickinson county.
In this connection it is worthy of
notice that the practical irrigator who
understood his business was exempt
from these conditions, and rewarded
with bountiful crops. Among the
beneficiaries of this exemption our
fellow townsman Mr.. Jas. NJ. Tinker,
late Of Washington, d. c., now of
Abilene, is probably the most highly
favored and successful. He is easily
the champion tomato grower in the
county, and is entitled to the belt.
On patch ofground 2lxl5 feet he has
grown forty-eight tomato vines of the
prize Champion variety, these vines
are trailed on detached trellis, have
attained maximum height of ten
feet and produce from the first INSTALL
ment Of bloom yield Of 800 pounds
OF fruit Of fine quality and great size,
reaching a maximum weight Of six
teen and an average weight Of ten
ounces each-fne grained, solid meat
and superior flavor. This product
was sold in the Abilene market at 5
cents per pound or sum total of sl5
for the product off Sl5 square feet or
a ratio Of s2,074.2S per acre. These
vines are still growing, august 20,
are full Of green fruit and bloom, and
II frost holds off another month will
add 25per cent to the output.
Comment is unnecessary.

SEES THINGS CLEARLY.
The Hope Dispatch Editor Knows a
Thing or Two.

True to the predictions of those
who advocated the principles of the
Republican party last fall, prosperity
is here. From all sides come the
whistle of the factories, the rumble of
the mills and the busy hum Of the
wheels which have long been idle.
In hundreds of the towns and cities, as
shown by the reports, the manufac-
turing industries are running to full
capacity and over time, something
unknown for many years. In many
places labor is in great demand, and
enforced idleness is thing Of the
past. A perusal Of the reports shows
that crops in most sections do not ex
coed those of '96, but the prices are
almost double, which makes every
body happy.
1t was heard on all sides, by Pops,
Democrats and in fact all kickers,
that If the Republican party gave us
what it promised, they would all be
with us this year. Gentlemen, the
pledges have come true We have
nominated one of the strongest county
tickets that has ever been nominated
by this or any other party in the
county.
John B. Favor, sheriff, has long been
a resident of this county. His cleo
ton is assured. }. Il. Van Worst.
for register of deeds, is too we'll known
to need any further mention. W. H.
Staatz for treasurer, was born and rails
ed in this county, and will also be
elected by large majority.
r. b. Jacobs, candidate for clerk, is
an old timer His acquaintance is not
so large as that Of other candidates,
but all who know him are a unit for
him regardless of party His clean
upright, manly way pleases every
body whom he meets. All those who
have the best interest of the county
at heart should not only vote for r.
B. Jacobs, but take off their coats and
get out and 60 to work and have this
Office filled with credit for the next
two years.

ASK THE DEMOCRATS.
The News Playing a Very Small
Game.

The News would like to have it ex-
planned why the Republican members
who sold the books did not place the
money in the treasury Of the school
board.-[News.
Ask Pearl Ross, Jay Harding and
Jones Hornaday why they didn't place
the money they received for the books
in the school treasury. The reason
why they didn't turn the money into
the treasury is doubtless why the Re-
publican members retained their
money.
In this respect the News man has
been acting the part Of demagogue
and pot house politician. He has
sought to discredit the honor and in
tegrity Of every Republican member
Of the board in face Of the fact that il
any wrong was done as many Demo-
Gratis were concerned as Republicans.
The trouble with the News is that
politically its fortunes are in bad
shape and it wants to distract the at
tention Of the voters from the obvious
fact that prosperity is at hand and
that it has followed on the heels of a
Republican victory.
II the News man really wants TO
know about that book money, let him
seek the information from members
of his own party who were concerned
in the affair.
