Belpre.

IL. ~ o. brakeman Gets n Fad squeeze at
Belpre.
Monday forenoon William Nelson, a
brakeman on the b. I5 o., was seriously
injured while engaged in shifting cars
in the yards at Belpre. A large foreign
stock car was being pushed into posi-
ton for loading and Nelson was stand
ing in the door way of the car. The
car was evidently little wider than
the regular cars and the door caught
upon the driveway and was torn from
its fastenings and fell, striking Nelson
and throwing him against the side of
the doorway where he was also caught
by the edge of the driveway and very
severely squeezed. Several ribs were
broken and he received very ugly cut
in the leg near the groin, besides being
otherwise bruised and injured.

Why They Don't Win.

There seems to be good reason
why the Populists are not getting
anything from the administration and
the News speaks out in meeting and
tells what it is as follows:
The Monitor says: "The party
that has other things to demand Of
the men they have elected to public
positions than salaried places for
themselves or their friends" This
sounds very queer coming from the
editor Of the Monitor, who made sew
eral trips to Topeka to assist in secur-
ing the appointment of man who in
the past seven years has voted the
Republican ticket as often as he has
the Populist, who openly worked for
the election of Burton, and who was
fired out of the Alliance for disloyalty
to the party. The Monitor man had
better explain this rather than take
the men who have honestly worked
for party success to task for asking
for an appointment at the hands OF
the governor they helped to elect.

HAD NO BAND.
7, E. Dewey Tells Atchison the Kind
of a Show It Likes.

Atchison Globe. The lecture on
John Keats" by 7. E. Dewey, the
literary lawyer Of Abilene, at the
Kansas Avenue NJ. z. church last
night, deserved larger audience
than gathered to hear it. Atchison
can not sustain her reputation as a
literary center If slush and snow keep
people from hearing an entertain
ment which they know in advance
will be instructive and entertaining.
Mr.. Dewey accounted for the differ
ence in the size Of last nights audi
ence and the one at the Presbyterian
church last spring by explaining that
the show on this occasion travelled
without band. His talk on Keats
was SO entertaining that the audience
forgot that he had ever appeared with
a band. At the close Of the pro-
gram the members Of Kalophronean
society and their friends adjourned to
Oak Hall, Midland college, where
they enjoyed banquet.

TWO RED1sTRICT1NG BILLS.
Where Dickinson Il Placed Judicially
and Congressionally.

A bill to reapportion the State as to
judicial districts is pending in the
house at Topeka. 1t makes 26 dis
tricts Of which the one including
Dickinson is the oath, made up as fol-
lows: Saline, Dickinson and Ottawa
counties. OF course the whole thing
is gerrymander and it is intended
to make the lines so favorable to Pop
ulism that by no possibility can Re-
publican Judge be elected in the State.
On congressional apportionment
there are two bills, one q senate
measure and one house measure.
Both put Dickinson in the Fourth dis
trict but with this difference:
House = Fourth district: Dickin-
inson, Geary, Wabaunsee, Morris, Me-
Pherson, Chase, Lyon, Usage, Coffey,
Woodson. Population, l74,67S.
Senate - Fourth district Lyon,
Wabaunsee, Geary, Morris, McPher-
son, Chase, Marion, Dickinson, Saline.

To Loaf or Not to Loaf.

County Surveyor Romig is watch
ing closely test case in Wichita to
determine whether surveyor can
collect pay for keeping his office open
all the time. 1t has been alleged that
the county surveyor was not entitled
to pay for keeping his office open but
two days in the week. The Wichita
man quite naturally did not like to
stay at home and play with the
children 66 per cent of the time, not
that he had not the inclination, hnt
for the simple reason that the filthy
lucre would be but one-third OF what
he had expected. This, of course,
made him little disappointed and he
instituted legal proceedings to ascer-
tain through the courts whether or no
he was to loaf four days in the week
outside of,Sunday.

Dickinson Demands 81 $3.50. 30.

The county clerk has sent to the
state auditor Dickinson county's ac-
count Of 81, 960.50, due it for care Of
insane. The allowance is 30 cents a
day for caring for insane persons.
When counties do this themselves as
is now done with several inmates at
the county asylum, the state pays the
county that amount to aid in
the care OF the afflicted and so relieve
the state institutions. Few counties
in this part Of the state have SO large
claims as Dickinson because few care
for so many patients at home as does
this county.

NY Dream.

To the Editor of the Reflector.
dreamed last night that | went to
Topeka and my object was to see Gov.
Leedy in regard to his appointments
and why he had left Dickinson county
out and given the appcintive posi-
tions to less worthy men and less de-
serving counties than ours. When |
made my object known was ushered
into the governors office. The old
governor met me with smile and
asked what he could do for me. |
told him | had not come to seek posi-
tion or appointment but to know
why he had treated our county appli-
cants SO shabbily. He said the State
was very large and he had to distri-
butte the patronage to suit the most
people. Said he, 'what is your
grievancep" | told him that our
county had given Mr.. Cranston the
best Pop recommendation we had
that he had been a sound Populist
ever since the party was born and in
stead Of giving him position he had
given it to a man Of recent conversion
to the party He says, "you see we
want to hold all our new converts,
especially those from the Republican
party. The old ones will stick any
how and those of recent conversion
need little pap to hold them. If
you fellows had recommended Prof.
Jewett for commissioner Of insurance
| could have cheerfully given him the
place. You see we want men of
quick thought and good brains to fill
such a position" "Well,'' said |,
"what ails our friend Nixon that he
cannot have the appointment Of grain
Inspector" He said, "Nixon's rec.
concentrations are all right and still
have it under adyisement but the
grain inspector has to 60 through a
civil service examination" He added
that Nixon knew wheat from corn and
rye from oats but we did not recon-
mend the right man. Nixon was an
old liner and would stick. Said he,
II you fellows had recommended
silver Republican for grain inspector
| should have been proud to have
awarded it to him as q new recruit
would have been OF vast Importance
to the party since his life service
among the Republicans" "Well,
governor, what about Wm. Campbell
for guard" "Oh, you need William
to attend your Institutes" he laugh
