Followed Her Husband.

Herington Times: Mrs. Budd, of
Peoria, sister of Mrs. W. ID. Hart, of
our town, lost her husband last week,
the remains being taken to Russell
this state for interment, and on her
return to Illinois she designed stop
ping at Kansas City to visit friends.
She was taken very i'll on the train
before reaching there and died soon
after, and even before she reach
ed her sisters home. Mrs. Budd was
the lady who was so much interested
financially in the McNaspy failure a
little over a year ago, She leaves con-
siderable money and other property
with no heirs except her sisters, Of
whom Mrs. Hart of Rerington is one.

THIEVES ARE WARY.
Cattle Takers Still at Large and
Tracks Covered.

Under Sheriff Hutchinson arrested a
man at Salina yesterday thinking he
was one Of the cattle thieves, but
habeas corpus proceedings were
brought and was he released, evidently
being the wrong party. The thieves
are very "slick" and have their tracks
well covered. The money that the
cattle were sold for is still in the
hands of the Omaha commission firm
to whom the stock was disposed 1t
is doubtful il it will ever be called
for and as the cattle have been identi-
fled by their rightful owners it may
be turned over to them.

ABILENE n CHAMPION.
ATCHISON BADLY DEFEATED A
SECOND TIME.
Heavy Batting Wins the Game for
the Home Team Excellent Play.
ing All Around By the Abilenes-
Atchison Feels Badly.


The opening game of the series with
Atchison was won by Abilene. Ragged
playing marked both sides, but Abb
lene fairly earned victory.
A fair crowd saw the fun and cheered
as the states giants went down before
Abiene's experts. Atchison had its
famous yellow kid" in the box, but
he was no match for the home team
which touched him up for twelve hits.
There was good deal Of ragged
playing, especially in the opening in
nings, Abilene really throwing away
three runs. Atchison did wild throw
ing throughout. Sickle made star
catch in center that won great APP
plause. Hughes also did some good
work though Stricklett's balls were
hard to get.
Stricklett, Abilene's new pitcher,
did fair work in box and scored four
hits at bat. He struck out five to
Jones six.
The score: Abilene s, AtchisOn Z.

novelty. 1t is like an open sided box

up from the hand. 1t was put up on
the hill near the college and SCARED

This marvel Of scientific perfection
is the invention of H. H. Clayton,
Chief Observer at Blue Hill Observa-
tory. near Boston. 1t is used at the
famous Blue Hill weather station, and
at other stations for sending up in
struments in making observations.
Kites Of this type have attained the
wonderful height Of 5000 feet, nearly
two miles. 1t will fly in a moderate
breeze, and yet no wind short of a
gale is too strong for it. This kite is
made by E. |. Horseman, 5l2 Broad
way, New York, and the Abilene
sample is from his mandatory.

Very Frisky Lightning.

Manchester News: Clate Cramer's
residence was considerably damaged
during the storm Friday afternoon.
Lightning struck the chimney and
ran down into the house, tearing
of plastering in all the rooms and
badly scorching the carpets. The
stovepipe was knocked down and SCOT
scattered all over everything. After
skipping from room to room the bolt
went out the south door tearing off 8
portion Of the screen frame and run
ming up a board from the porch. The
north wall Of the cellar was also cavet
in. The family was away.

There Was No Abuse.

We understand that A. B. Seelye is
endeavoring to create sympathy for
himself by the circulation of report
that this paper abused him in its re-
port of the Huffman trial. The re-
port contained abuse of no one and
people who read it are laughing at
the charge. The REFLECTOR is glad
that Mr.. Seelye is making money, and
hopes he may become millionaire.
If there is anyone to blame in this
case it is the county attorney who
allowed the suit to be brought at the
expense of the tax payers. The RE-
FLECToR is not the kind Of paper
that abuses people for so much per
line.

Third Grades Are Barred.

Supt. Humbargar has issued the
following notice. "The standard for
a third grade certificates will in the
future be the same as that for a sec
ond, viz, general average Of so per
cent, with minimum Of 10 per cent.
The examining board Of this county
has also adopted a special rule to the
effect that no third grade certificates
will be issued after January /, 1898,
until the close Of the Normal" Az
examinations are by law set for jan
uary and April, it amounts to barring
beginners in order to compel attend
ance in the normal. You will sec

rule is enforced.

From Saturdays Daily.l

Atchson has all the season laughed
at Abilene for wanting to meet its
champion team. Well, they have met
three times and twice has Atchison
gone down in the dust. If there is
any champion of Kansas it is Abilene.
Heavy batting won Fridays
game for Abilene. Atchison put its
"terrible Swede" Jameson in the box
and the home team found him no
great puzzler. While there was no
large number of hits off him his slow
ball gave opportunity for heavy bat
ting, and with lead of four home
runs any team ought to be able to dc
the rest. Stricklett did not show
much Improvement on his Wednes-
days throwing, but it was swift and
crooked. At the bat Re was a terror,
making two home runs out of four
times up. Wakefield and Dunn also
made home runs, as did L0man for
the Atchisons. Atchison was weak
IN us shortstop Perry who had four
errors charged up to him yesterday.
The visitors worked hard throughout
the game, but to no purpose. The
three games have been among the
best played here.
Mr.. Nesley again umpired and his
decisions were carefully made and
showed thorough understanding of
his position.

From Fridays Daily.]

Two nice long hits that were daisies
won the second game for Atchison.
They were in the fourth inning. The
bases filled up and Krebs went to bat.
He hit long center to the farthest
corner Of the grounds, three men
scored. Then there were two more
on the corners and Perry put it over
the fence. That made six and added
to the two made in the first and Sec
ond gave the visitors a lead Abilene
could not overtake. Abilene started
with whirwind and ran up three
TALES in the first-then nothing more
happened on that side Price, Ash
and Matteson made the scores.
Eyler, the Kansas City pitcher,
threw for Atchison. He put up a
puzzling variety of balls, SO puzzling
that Abilene failed to hit it just nine
times. Augusta did not seem to be
in his best form for he was touched
up for eleven hits and struck out only
five. Abilene, however, played a re-
markedly clean game, and for more
than half the game no one scored on
either side.
Price was the hero of the day for
his field work. A catch in the fifth
where he tumbled in the dust with
the ball and catch in sixth when he
bumped the fence to get the ball won
rounds of applause.
The score: Abilene 3, Atchison s.

The only living rainmaker on earth
spent couple of weeks in GOodland

nearly week after the o. l. T. ms. de-

samples Of his work which, to say the
least, are fine. His pictures show more
than practical ability, for in each is
the sign manual Of art, something that
is generally lacking in photography.
Mr.. Steele has been in business at
Oberlin for years and bears a reputa.

needs no other recommend. The peo-
pie of Goodland and vicinity can con-
graduate themselves that Mr.. Steele
has given them an opportunity to
