PRETTY GOOD DETECTIVES.
South Dickinson Farmers Traced the
Cattle Down.

j. l.. Hodge j. Grayson and Milt
WYATT, south Dickinson men who had
cattle stolen some time ago, ought
to be on a. detective force. They
traced the cattle to Mitchell county
and found where they had been
shipped to Omaha. Then they laid
for the cashing of the draft which was
payable on Salina bank. They
caused the arrest of VIM. Rawfson,
who is now in Jail charged with being
one of the thieves. The Herington
Times goes into ecstacies over Sheriff
Robson's wonderful skill" in tracing
the thieves, when as a matter Of fact,
all his part of the proceedings lay in
serving the warrant. Honor should
60 to the men to whom it is due.

CASH FOR OVER-TIM
Old Letter Carriers Get Hand.
some Payments.

Checks have been received by the
former mail carriers of the city for
their claims for overtime work in de-
livering mail. After the Inaugural
ton of the free delivery system there
was no restriction as to the number
of hours which the carriers worked.
Later an order was issued from the
postotlice department requiring letter
carriers to perform their duties with
in the required eight hours. In pur-
suance of the above order the carriers
considered that they were entitled to
payment for services rendered over
the required number of hours. Claims
were filed by the carriers and ex-car-
riers for their time. A Washington
attorney visited this city, investl-
gated the case and took it before the
department About February lst
the claims were allowed but the pay
ments have just been made. f.. D.
Focht of the postotiice force gets
$l5S.5S; Howard Seeds, now of
Cripple Greek, Colo, and Alva Mutt
of Granville, Kas., get about $500
each. The boys are to be congratu-
lated.

UNIQUE Plan.

Rev. c. H. Hartman and Elder j.
II. Tobias are attending Evangelical
conference at Atchison. The meeting
combines business with pleasure and
is held in a park. The visitors eat
and sleep in tent, and in the pavilion.
The conventions have heretofore been
held in the regular way in a church,
and the new idea is meeting with so
much enthusiasm that it will prob.
ably spread to other denominations.
The tents belong to the association,
and the meals are cooked by the men,
bers of the church. A charge of
twelve and A half cents is made for
each meal, the amount merely cover
ing the cost of the food. The women
sleep in nine tents. while the men
sleep in the pavilion.

ABILENE WEEKLY REFLECTOR ABILENE KANSAS AUGUST w. gz-ElW PAGES

He has sold 10000 cattle since April
20. That is the kind of business
man this Dickinsonian is. He is
probably the richest man in the
county for his age. He isonly, in fact,
about so years old, takes life easy, has
a beautiful home presided over by an
accomplished wife and is as happy
and Independent as one can be in this
world. Mr.. Gillett has been the
phenomenal success in the business
in the state and his fortune is al
ready one to make the Klondikers en-
vious, 1t has come to him because
he has done business on business prin-
ciples and he richly deserves the
prosperity that is his. His future
promises still greater things.
There are those who think the cat
tie business is overdone but the evil
dencc is not in east Dickinson. The
men who have turned their attention
to stock are the ones who have been
the winners. 1t has been no unusual
thing for Mr.. Gillett to bring into
Woodbine two or three trainloads of
cattle in a single day. They are all
in demand and as long as the world is
to eat beef the cheap pastures and
feeding grounds where there is such
an abundance as in east Dickinson is
going to be able to furnish it at a
profit. Certainly there is no reason
to think the end is in sight. On the
the other hand the outlook is for
greater advancement and a prosper
ity for the cattlemen that has not yet
been reached or dreamed Of by those
who have seen the possibilities in
this direction.

that they are actually decreased. Chan
ter 166 of the Public Law of 1895 provides
that whenever appointments to office

the general law in its applioa-
ton to this city it is in the direction of
reducing the power of the mayor so far
as removals are concerned. AS regards
the fro department the mayors power is
increased. Now the officers OF that de-

De chairman. This commission Is to be
appointed by the mayor, and to contain
repre- sentatives of both political par

OF Aldermen the Mayor is to appoint the

We think we have called attention to
all the important changes proposed in
the charter. They are all we believe
in the right direction. Some of them
might have gone farther with advan-
tage. The mayors control of the police

members of the House to thwart the
final passage of the bill. The best ele-
inent of that city and some who hereto
fore have. not commanded much conf
dencs-notably among the latter Ex-

the fact that it had been almost an i'm
possibility to get any measure passed by
the legislature Of Illinois unless backed by
tremendous influenza or poodle, and that
they had reached point in the history
of the State when good men IN the legis-
