SUBMARINE BOAT.
The Holland Craft Quietly Launched ut
Elizabeth, n. j..

The Holland Craft Quietly Launched At
Elizabeth, n. j.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May lS.-The Hol.
land subm airline torpedo boat was
launched at the Cresctnt ship yards in
this city. The inventor Of the boat,
John p Holland, has closely watched
the construction of the vessel. The
Vessel was chrisened 1.-The Holland"
by Mrs. Nixon, wife Of Lieutenant
Lewis Nexon, the constructor. There
were few present at the launching.
Inventor Holland says there will not
be any attempt at submarine evolutions
for several weeks. The construction
of the boat has been eagerly watched
all over the country. The boat is CYL
indrical in shape, is so feet 3 inches
long, with 4-foot screw protecting
extension. The diameter is the same.
The boat can travel under water eight
knots an hour for Ell ght hours and ten
knots an hour on the surface The
power comes from a gasoline engine,
and dynamo, the former to be used
when the boat is sailing along
the surface and the latter when she is
submerged. 1t will take less than a
minute to submerge the boat, and
about the same length, of time for her
to rise to the surface. The armament
consists of three torpedo tubes which
will discharge high explosives. Six
men will constitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern
ments to allow a representative on
board during the trial trip of the boat,
but he refused the request. After a
trial trip, he says he will allow an en-
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which, it is
believed, will revolutionize warfare.
Several foreign, nations have bid for
the vessel, but it is likely Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.

CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Herington Real Estate Is the Subject
Of q Bitter Suit.

E. G. Sutton, formerly of this coun-
ty and still interested in Herington
real estate, was sued Saturday by j.
P. Good of Ottawa in the court there
asking 500 damages for alleged fraud
practiced upon him by Mr.. Sutton.
Mr.. Good claims in his petition that
Mr.. Sutton was owing him $3.50 about
year ago and that he offered to
secure him by deciding him lot in
Herington but before making the deed
required Mr.. Good to promise to deed
the lot back upon payment Of the
$3.50. The petition says that Mr. SUIT
ton represented the lot to be a valu-
able piece of property and to inspire
confidence in Mr. Good called atten-
lion to the fact that there was q bona
fide loan upon it Of $3.50 and required
Mr.. Good to assume the payment Of
that mortgage in the deed, also that
after Mr. Good had held the land for
about two months Mr.. Sutton pre-
tended to have an opportunity to sell
the same, but stated that the pur-
chaser was a peculiar man and would
not purchase until the $3.50 mortgage
was fully paid, and urged Mr.. Good
to advance the $3.50 for a few days
only until he could complete his sale.
Whereupon Mr.. Good advanced the
money. Mr. Good further states that
he has recently discovered that the
lot is Of no value and that the mort
gage was sham, and held by Mr..
Sutton and that the $3.50 so advanced
went into the pocket Of Mr.. Sutton
and has never been returned.

ROASTING WEBB M'NALL.
Populist Monitor Down on His In.
surance Rulings.

The Populists Of the county are
surprised and indignant at the action
of the Monitor in giving Webb Nc
Nall, the Populist insurance commits
sioner, a two column roast. 1t re-
views the cases on which he has ruled
insurance companies out of the state
and shows that all his charges were
frauds. The article is from the Kansas
City Gazette e>but is none the less se-
we're. 1t is rumored that the bosses
will demand that the Monitor retract
it next week. The article is so incon-
testibly true and shows up the injus-
tice, inconsistency and unfairness Of
one Populist state officer so clearly
that it will open the eyes of a lot Of
Populists who take only their party
organ and ordinarily see only one side
of the question.

DAVE DON'T KNOW.
Mr. Face May Appeal and Then He
Nav Not.

David Face was found guilty Of
drunkenness in police court this morn.
ing, was fined 50 and costs and gave
notice Of appeal to the district court.
The complainant, John Verbeek, was
positive that David was wrong some.
where. Verbeek's children went over
to David's and were ordered away
then Mrs. Verbeek went after them
and received rough language. Then
came the complaint. There was tes.
timony that David had been drinking
and that his breath could be smelled
5 feet away, but he declared he was
not drunk and wanted to test the
matter in higher tribune.
Up to 4 o'clock Mr.. Face had not
arranged his appeal bond and it may
be that he win appeal to the streets
and work out the fine.

SUNDAY SCHOOL GUESTS.
What 1t Means to Entertain the State
Association.

To the Editor of the Reflector
If Abilene should extend an invita-
ton to the State Sunday School asso-
citation to hold its next convention in
this city | believe the same would be
accepted. In case the convention
should be held here our people would
be expected to furnish lodging and
breakfast to the delegates free Of
charge but dinner and supper would
be paid for by those who attend the
meeting. | believe the convention
would be a great help, not only to the
Sunday school workers along their
line Of work, but to the business and
social relations Of our city as well.
II it is the desire of our citizens
that the next state convention be held
here will be glad to extend the invi-
tation through the Dickinson County
Sunday School association.

Walking Did Not Work.

The average bright scheme does not
work twice the same way. The Min.
neapolis Messenger calls attention tc
one that did not Harry Tucker Of
that place was an applicant for the
West Point cadetShip. At an exami-
nation for the West Point cadetship
in the Sixth district about a year ago
the successful candidate walked from
his home to the place where the ex-
animation was held The act Of the
young man caused him to be made
quite hero and gave him considera-
BILE notoriety. The Messenger says;
Tucker tried the scheme Of walking
to Clay Center, but somehow the COM
bination did not work for him and the
other fellow from Abilene got the
prize. Young Tucker is a Populst
and can't see how he failed when the
other fellow out in the Sixth district
won on the same combination. He
should remember that his walking to
Clay Center could hardly be popular
with Populist leaders who ride on
Pullman passes and with a party
whose governor spends the greater
portion Of his time taking excursions
at the expense Of the railroads. Times
have changed with the Pcpulists, Har-
ry, since the young man in the Sixth
district walked himself into q cadet
ship at West Point.

DISCUSSED ATTORNEYS FEES.
G. W. Hurd Argues a Question in
Railroad Suits.

At session of the appellate court
at Wichita yesterday in the case Of
the A. T. 4 S. F. r. r. Co. VS.. David
Emmerson, novel question was ably
discussed by G. W. Hurd Of Abilene
and R. P. Kelly of Eureka. 1t has
been the custom in many cases to take
a judgment against the railroad COM
pany for damages and for an attorney
fee fixed by the jury under the statute
of the state. 1t was disclosed by the
discussion that the statute provides
for an attorney fee to be taxed up
against the railroad company if the
Judgment shall be against it but does
not provide for one to be taxed in its
favor if the company should be sue
cessful. Our own supreme court has
held that in certain cases this may be
done, holding that such attorney fee
Is in the nature Sf'S penalty where
damages occur by reason Of the COM
pany failing to comply with some
provision Of the statute, such as
building fence to prevent stock from
getting on the road, but the statute
makes provision for the recovery Of
attorney in cases of negligence by
which fires occur and other damages
may arise, and in these cases it was
contended by Mr.. Hurd that the
statute was contrary to the constitu-
tion of the United States and the Kan
sas bills Of right, because it makes a
discrimination as to the rights
of the parties and imposes an
obligation and duty on one class Of
persons that it does not on another
class. And he cited Justice Brewers
decision lately handed down in the
supreme court Of the United States
sustaining his position. Mr.. Kelly
also made a strong presentation Of
his case.

NEW LITERARY WORK.
7. E. Dewey Doing Editorial Work
on K. C. Journal.

The readers of the Kansas City
Journal have noticed an added feature
in its ever excellent editorial page
which has been particularly pleasing to
lovers Of literature. 1t has been due to
fact that Mr.. Thomas Emmett Dewey,
Of this city, is new member of the
Journals editorial staff. He selects
the verses which are printed daily on
the editorial page, and conducts the
weekly column sin Literary Ways"
in which are timely book reviews and
criticisms on current literary events.
In addition, the editorials in the Sum
day Journal on literary themes are
from his pen.
Mr.. Dewey is recognized as emf
nently fitted for this work and ranks
among the acknowledged leaders in
the field Of literary criticism in the
west. 1t can be depended upon that
his work on the Journal will be not
only very readable but Of value as an
estimate of the doings Of the literary
world. While he become a member
Of the papers staff the work will not
necessitate his removal from the city.

long time-have been settling up bus
mess more than year with reference
thereto. My determination was

tunity, historic associations OF our
nation-these may be mentioned as
chiefly conducting to the change. The

pie of the West as evidenced by my
long stay in your midst, all but p
years. | dislike giving up the Battle
of Life in that locality but the sum-
mers are too severe upon a constitu-
tion already broken with climatic
changes.
"My nature will not long permit
me to rest. First, | shall have a care
to regaining health. That secured, |
hope to do something in the way of
gratifying the nobler aspirations Of
man. My books, about all | have left

been most kind to me. Many Of their
faces will remain in memory while life

TIME TO HALT.
An Innocent Girls Name Stained BY
a Serious Charge,

The discharge Of NJ. Schwendener
in Quinn's court Saturday evening
ended a peculiar criminal case and
one that never should been brought
on the tlimsy ground upon which it
was based. The case was brought
not on complaint Of the girl, who
alone had right to do so, or those
speaking for her, but by one outside
her family circle The county attor-
ney, however. brought the case to
court when the testimony of the girl,
her family the neighbors and all con-
cerned fatty con ,racted the complaint
and the defendant, M. Schwendener,
was released as an innocent man.
Was it little thing that this big
county should cast stain on an in
nocent young girls characterp 1t is
. shame that such things should be
permitted. 1t Is wrong that Mr.,
Schwendener and the girl should have
the shadow thrown over them. 1t is
the duty OF the county attorney to see
that such serious charges are not
brought on the sayso of Tom, Dick and
Harry with grudge to crafty. The
cost to the county is trlle compared
with the suffering Of innocent people
and the discredit Of mems regulations
on the whim Of personal enemies or
desire for personal revenge at the ex-
pense Of the county.
What this county seems to need
more than anything else just now is
a method for keeping out of court
cases that ought not to be there.

TURNING GLENN DOWN.
Abilene Democrats Will Vote fol
Dunlap and Morgan.

There is war in the Demo.Pop po-
litical circles over what is termed the
treachery Of some Of the Democrats to
the men nominated in convention a
few days ago. 1t is said on the best
Of authority that they have deserted
Glenn and will all 90 into the Pop
primaries for Dunlop for register on
the understanding that Dunlop's
forces shall 90 to Morgan for treas
urer to help down Billy Matteson. 1t
has been a very quiet deal and the
Pops generally have not been inform
ed oft. The Glenn men are mad and
declare that il such a deal goes
through Glenn will never withdraw
but stay on the track to the bitter
end. The chances are that II he does
he will get more votes than Dunlop,
as there is a widespread feeling in
favor Of fair play. In the meanwhile
Dunlop is driving over the county
spreading the gospel Of spoils not
principle as the doctrine of Populism.
John Heller has withdrawn from
the race for register.
Mr.. Morgan was in the county seat
counseling with the Abilene bosses
over the outlook.

In view Of Its frequent desecration
we wish to suggest that Memorial
day Is not day for festivities; it is
set aside by law and custom to do
honor to those whose strong hands
and brave hearts wrought our ma
tons deliverance from dsunion and
anarchy, and he who engages in or
encourages any sort Of sport is not
impressed with the duties of

MEMORIAL DAY TALK.
Services Should Be on May 90 Desc
Grafton Of the Day.

Commander Botkin has issued an
order to the &. A. R. asking that Sat-
urday, May 20, be observed as Memor-
ial day as the S0th is Sunday. Most
of the towns in the county will cele-
brate the day in accordance with the
order. He has also calls public at
tention to the growing desecration Of
Memorial day and the perversion Of
its objects. 1t was established as a
holy day and is being made a holiday.
1t was set apart as a time for patriotic
exercises, for recalling the sacrifices
of the heroes of the country, for the
strewing Of flowers and pronouncing
of eulogies over honored graves. 1t
is being devoted largely to excursions,
ball games, sports and pleasures.
Memorial day is legal holiday. II
it is made a day of amusement it
should be abolished. 1t was set
apart as day Of mourning, day Of
memories. If its objects are defeated
it should no longer be continued a
travesty and an insult to the men in
whose honor it was established. This
is good time to call halt and for
patriotic, thinking people TO take
decided stand against Memorial day
becoming day for games and sports.
