Mr. Edwards informed friend of
the Herald at Azusa, yesterday, that the
occasional spots he has observed on
lemons cured at his establishment, do
not penetrate beneath the skin. As far
as he can judge they are the result OF
bruises that have broken the partitions
between the cells in the skin, allowing
the oil to escape and thus producing the
discoloratio Professor Hilgard, with

Washington Hesing, who wants to
be mayor of Chicago. must be brutal
sort of a fellow. In discussing the
question of the influence of the saloon
upon crime, he not only defended the
saloon, but went out of his way to say
that the penitentiary at Joliet has
more prisoners as the result of millin-
cry bills and dressmakers' accounts than
from the effects of the liquor traffic.
The keeper of the Joliet penitentiary
tells me that 81 per cent of the inmates
are there because of the greed of their
wives" Then what this country needs
for the morals of the people is more
saloons and fewer millinery and dress
making shops.

The joint meeting of the special COM
mittee of the council and the commits
sioners fer changing street names was
held at the city hall yesterday and
compromise ordinance was agreed upon.
The session was a stormy one at times,
and personalities were freely indulged
in. The reckless manner in which some
of the protestants assailed the commits
sioners and impugned their motives was
in anything but good taste or even COM
mon decency These gentlemen have
put in weeks of careful, painstaking
work. and while they may have made
mistakes, their high personal character
and their standing in the community
should protect them from insult. 1t is
a poor reward for public service without
compensat tion to be lampooned and
abused. and with much more of this sort
of thing it will be practically impossible
to get citizens of standing to serve in

younger man, after a second time gaug-

claimed his friend
And then. az the younger man still
claimed that he was right. they laid .
wager and referred the matter to the
keeper.
''What Is the circumference Of tho
lore foot Of that big elephant3" they
asked.
''The circumference Of an elephants
foot IL very nearly half the animals
height" replied the keeper.
''Wil you be SO good as to measure
it?" asked the amazed visitor.
And the keeper got long cord and
went in beside the monster. Bazzle, who
stands eight feet five inches in height.
''Of course I measure while the ami,
NAL is standing squerely on all fours."
Ae said. "If were to take the foot up
from the floor. it would not be quite so
large: q small part Of that size Is
caused by the spreading out of the soft
matter Of the foot by the pressure Of
the animals own weight"
He drew the cord around the monster
foot, held it up, and measured It with .

FRIEDLEY IS AT HOME.
Had Started to Eastern Kansas in
Search Of Work.

The missing Jacob Friedley has
been heard from. He had gone to
eastern Kansas in search Of work. 1t
seems that when he came to town on
Monday brought load Of his own
corn. He had target rifle also and
about 81 in money He sold the
corn and rifle and left town. His
wife received a letter last evening
from White City, Morris county, in
which he explained these things and
said he had determined to leave for
eastern Kansas and see II he could
not earn some money. He said he
had concluded that he could not
make living here and was afraid he
would fail on the farm he had rented.
He told where the team was and said
that as soon as he had secured money
enough to pay his debts he would
come back.
Today Mr.. Friedley came home,
none the worse for his trip and prob
ably willing to remain in old Dickin-
son awhile.

seats as delegates in the sessions of
grand lodges.
The rule now prevailing in the or
ders provides for such representation
and permits a man who has occupied
the chair OF secret order to seat as
delegate in all grand lodge sessions.
The proposed amendment requires
that all grand lodges shall be com.
posed of not less than two represen-
tatives of each subordinate lodge who
shall be elected at least once year,
or at such time as the grand lodge
meetings require. Abilene has so
many lodges and they have been in

DO THEY HELP Y0U9
Travelling Grocery Agents Selling
Goods Here.

A travelling grocery house agent is
selling goods in this city and vicinity.
He takes orders for everything, the
money to be paid on delivery. 1t is
reported that he is selling large
amount Of goods but it ought not to
be SO. The purchasers must take
whatever is sent them and pay cash
for it. For the same money in cash
you can buy better goods right at
home of your home merchants. When
you have eggs or poultry to sell,
when you want accommodations, you
come to your home merchant. Is it
fair to send your trade out of town
when you have to buy anythingP 1t
is lamentable fact that too many do
this sort Of thing. A leading Pop
who tried to organize boycott on all
the Republican merchants last fall
sends to Chicago for everything he
can and induces others to do it. The
farmers are injurlng themselves by
such a course. The thing to do is to
buy at home.

vIcKERs HAS GONE.
Late Pop Candidate for Representa-
tive Departs.

In the campaign last fall the RE-
FLEcroR exposed the fact that j. r.
Vickers, the Populist candidate for
representative, had arranged to move
to Oklahoma before the end of the
legislative session and would do so.
The Popu.ist papers vigorously denied
this and denounced the REFLECTOR
for what they termed "persecution
and falsehood." Nevertheless the
REFLECTOR knew what it was talking
about and the people believed 1t and
the expose defeated Mr.. vickers. On
Wednesday Mr.. Vickers started from
Manchester by wagon for his claim
nine miles southeast of Enid. His
family goes by rail this week. This
is exactly what the REFLECTOR said
would happen and every assertion
made in the matter by this paper has
been exactly fulfilled. When the
REFLECTOR makes a statatement 1t
can be depended upon as correct.

COUNCIL DECIDES ON STRINGENT

Sidewalks, Alleys and Trees Are To

Will Know the Reason Why.

The city council session Friday even
ing was largely devoted to discussion
Of the needs Of the city to make 1t
more presentabe. The sidewalks
condition was the cause OF large
amount OF talk and it was the sense OF
the council that enough abuse from
the citizens because Of the dilapidat-
ed walks had been endured. D. Mat
teson was appointed special COM
mittee to order repairs of walks and
see if something cannot be done to
improve matters. The city has a
considerable sum in the treasury and
it was voted to spend it SO far as nee
essary in rebuilding and repairing the
walks. The council says 1t means
business this time and things must
be fixed. An order was made that an
official notice be published, which will
be found in this issue.
All members of the council were
present except Upshaw.
Bills to the amount of about $40
were allowed. No other important
business was transacted. Election
clerks and Judges will be announced
later.

NEWS" AGAINST FOLK.
Denunoiation Of His Administration
as Rotten"

wv esvSSSss'
The anti-Republican forces seem to
be getting intoa pretty mix-up and
one that promises to cause some hard
feelings. The News comes out this
week and says Of the present admin
istration that ave believe four-fiiths
of the citizens Of Abilene will join us
in saying that it is about as rotten
as it could well be-" As the admins
tration is now "non-partisan" and G.
Folk has been acting mayor with all
the power Of the mayor for nearly
two years and Is responsible for the
city's management this attack upon
him Is a bomb in the "non-partisan''
camp. Mr.. Folk is a non.partisan
candidate for mayor and although it
has been well known that the News
was secretly knitting him such open
warfare and abuse was not looked for
at this time. II the non.partisan
organ denounces his administration
(for he has really been at the head Of
alfairs) us "rotten" what Is to be ex-
pected Of any further management Of
the city under non-partisan ruler
The News is furnishing some good
arguments for Republican ticket

ANDREWS MUST WAIT.
Even That Penitentiary Guardship
Is in Name Only.

The Pops Of the county have beer
doing good deal Of cheering during
the past ten days on account Of the
reported appointment Of j. F.
Andrews as guard at the penitentiary
$3.50 a month and find yourself.
They were premature in their rejoic-
ing. Mr. Andrews received word
last night that his appointment had
been hung up and it is probable that
he will lose the position after all.
When he went to Lansing to see
Warden Lands he was given a prom
Use Of the job in about two weeks
Since then 1t seems that fight has
been made on him by some Of the
bosses of this county in the interest
of a candidate from northeast Dickin-
son and the result is that he may be
shut out entirely. The fact that Mr..
Andrews was the only Dickinson
Populist with strength enough to put
up a winning fl 5ht for any kind Of a
job seems to be NORWOOD to some Of
the disappointed hunters after pie and
they have entered into a scheme to
drag him down. This has been the
policy of the party's leaders in this
county all through the fight for places
since the incoming Of the Leedy adj
ministration and the result is that
probably the county will not get even
guardship. Mr.. Andrews will
make another effort and see il the
failure OF his recent attempt cannot
be retrieved. If it is not Abilene as
pirants may as well quit.
