The I months old daughter Of
MIR. and Mrs. G. 4. Waters Of Man
chester died this morning and will be
buried at Keystone tomorrow. The
parents have the sympathy Of many
friends.
1t is favorite claim Of the Pops
that Jack Andrews and Will Allison
stole the First ward from them. Jack
and William wonder where the First
ward committeeman, Mr.. Kane, was
while it was being done.
According to the rating Of our
Pop contemporaries the town is divid-
ed into two parts, one Of which con-
sists Of "the Masons, Workmen, the
REFLECTOR gang and the churches"
This is pretty tough on the other part.
The remains of Chas. Parmenter,
the insane tramp who died about
a month ago at the county jail, have
not yet been buried but are at
Eicholtz's undertaking rooms. 1t
was hoped that Identification might
result but such seems unlikely now.
Ten couples Of young people had
a merry time at a masquerade hard
times party at the home Of Herbert
Howard last night. The costumes
were very poverty stricken and the
lunch had mush and milk for the
chief feature. 1t was jolly evening.
Brother Rice is now trying to get
The council to appoint lot Of special
police with him at the head. 1t was
generally supposed that he was not
elected even as an assistant to this
administration. George W. G. Rohrer
should advise his fellow worker Of
his.
Garden City Imprint: For the
,utter fat from the milk of $4,000
lows the creameries Of Dickinson
county pay $4,000 per month. This
s better than round house and rail-
Dad division. II Finney county will
,ut make the start she can do as we'll
n few years.
The debt OF $4,000 that has been
hanging over the Methodist college at
Winfield has been wiped out. Banker
robinson, Of Winfield, came down
With $4,000. One Of the oppressed
armers Of Reno county Clipped in
5000 and the balance was gathered
Up at a conference collection.
Some Of our exchanges are past
ng pieces Of wall paper in advertise
nents and sending them through the
nails, evidently not knowing that
hey are violating the postal laws.
An Abilene paper tried II and paid
Tor extra postage to hush the matter
up. OF course the circulation being
very small 1t was not large sum
but well circulated papers should be
careful.
Hicks indicates that the 18th to
The 18th will constitute the most pre-
,arious storm period Of the month.
A wave Of great warmth will develop
1t this time, phenomenal heat and
'old will stand over against each
'ther in close proximity, and violent
storms Of rain and hail, with lorna
1oes, probably will visit many Sec
ions Of the country, followed by
heavy frosts.
"A quartette Of good-looking rail-
way men spent last evening in the
city. They were H. D. Dutton,
Of the Burlington but now
general travelling agent Of the Pitts
,urg & Gulf; j. +. Bramball Of the
Burlington; W. f. Morphy Of the
Northwestern; c. L. Grice Of the
Burlington. Four jollier travelling
passenger agents don't often strike a
own at once The REFLECTOR re-

Rev. A. s. Dechant's pleasant
ace looks out from the front page Of
he Reformed Church Tidings, there
'eing an excellent portrait Of the
Of the Synod Of the
Interior. During February he preach
ID 80 sermons, besides riding several
hundred miles on train and In
wagons, making scores Of calls, writ
ng articles for the church papers
md answering about % letters day.
Mr.. Dechant may not exactly be busy
tut 1t would be interesting to know
When he finds time to sleep.
