HAVE A FINE FARM.
County Has an Excellent Place fol
it, Poor.

The county commissioners when
they visited the county poor farm
found the place in excellent condi-
ton. The farm is not only a valu-
able one but under the management
of Supt. G. W. Kelley is making a
good record in productiveness. There
are now 10 inmates being cared for
by the county, of whom two are in
the insane department, they not be-
ing dangerous. There are all ages
represented, from one who is said to
be 100 years old to babies. Many Of
these assist in the farm work and Mr..
Kelley keeps things in apple pie order.
He has some Of the finest chickens
to be found anywhere and they are
cared for IN proper style. Last year
he raised 800 and will probably do
better this year. The stock on the
farm is producing good returns. 1t
is of high breeding ard another fine
bunch will soon be ready to turn off.
A common experience with county
farms is to have their expenses be-
come very large and the treatment OF
inmates be very bad. Dickinson
county is reversing this. Supt
Kelley is good farmer and not only
is the farm showing good productive
ness but the unfortunates in his
bis charge have good care. The
county has reason to be proud Of the
work that is being done and the COM
missioners gave Mr.. Kelley much
praise for his good work as an official.

Pension Examining Boards Not
Likely to Be Disturbed.

Unless President Mckinley sees fit
to revoke the order Of Grover Cleve-
land there will be no change in the
personnel Of the United States pension
examining board in this city. In a
letter received a few days ago, Con-
gresham Curtis states that all pen
sion examining boards are included
under the civil service order issued by
President Cleveland, and that unless
this order is revoked by President
Mckinley, or sufficient cause shown,
none OF the members Of the present
board can be removed, There are a
number of Republican physicians
here who expected places on the
board. The present board consists of
Drs. Scarf, Brooks and Lefevre, all
Democrats.

Saw Lights Again.

A number Of Abilene people last
Friday from 10 to II O'Clock saw a
mysterious light pass over the city,
going in northwesterly direction.
1t was directly over town when first
discerned and moved rapidly, disap-
pearing in about 2 hours. 1t seemed
very high and could not have been a
star. Some who saw it agree that 1t
had all the characteristics Of a light
under a paper balloon but to others
it seemed like an airship light. Abb.
lene will not be strictly in the swim
until it sees the form Of the ship and
catches sight Of man on the back
platform.

FARMING THE FARMERS,
Populist schsmers Arc Fixing Things
Up for This Fall.

w AVA AuAe Go1A
The professional farmers who farm
no farms but do farm the farmers Of
the Pop party are liking up a pretty
scheme for the fall campaign. There
are three candidates put up for treas
urer-Will Matteson, Of Abilene; W.
7. Harris, president Of the Solomon
bank; G. A. Rogers, Of Abilene, bu,
cashier Of the Solomon bank. (The
present treasurer, Mr.. Pattison, Is
also leading owner Of the Solomon
bank in connection with his uncle Mr.,
Harris, and his brother-in.law, MIR.
Rogers.) The Democrats will meet
Saturday, April "a. They will NOM
mate Mr.. Harris for treasurer. Then
they will say to the Popnlists; "You
must endorse Harris or nominate
Rogers. Either willsuit us but don't
you dare nominate Matteson. Seep'
The farmers will probably tumble
over each other to obey orders and
will have to get down on their knees
to a Democrat or silver Republican
for the best office in the list.
For sheriff N. B. Robson will be re.
nominated by the Pops.
For register Walter Nichols is
working day and night and has been
for six months. He takes two OF
three farmers home to dinner every
day and is bound to have the Job. He
had it six years and will try to farm
the farmers again. Walter don't
want to 90 back to work il he can
help it and the farmers candidates,
J. M. Stewart of Buckeye and John
Heller Of Newbern may as well get
out Of the race.
Grant Kietfer will be named again
for clerk. The farmers can't bea,
him for nomination-but for election,
just see.
j. M. Shepherd is out again fol
coroner. This is an important office
1t has paid about &lS in the past two
years-but the farmers cant have i
P. j. Quirk of Noble and Johr
Marts of Hayes are candidates fol
commissioner.
c. B. Hoffman announces himsel
foa high school trustee again. 1t il
understood that as soon as the boar(
is safely Populist there will be thu
same overturning of teachers tina
there was at the State Agriculture
college last week under Mr.. Hoffman
leadership and everybody who will
not subscribe to Populism and tn
Leedy administration will get out.
1t is not visible anywhere along tn
lines where the farmers are to com
in. The reform party is getting t
be very sly, so it thinks, but 1t i
making people very tired.

the following firms were represented:

1t was determined that mines in the
Pittsburg district should be started and
operated without further delay, on the
grounds that the miners have taken
high handed position that nothing but
an unreasonable price for mining will
satisfy their demand. and that they
have been unwilling TO treat with the
operators on any fair grounds. Also
