Young Man Ends mis Life.

Robert Chester, aged 22 years, was found
dead at his fathers home at Bear Gap near
Mt Carmel, early yesterday morning, He
shot himself with an old shot gun. The
charge entered the body below the fifth rib
and passed through the heart. His parents
heard the report, but it was muilled by the
bed clothing. Thinking it was outside they
did not discover the deed until they went to
call their son for breakfast. Young Chester
was we'll known in that vicinity and very
popular. No cause can be attributed for his
rash act, as he attended country picnic on
Saturday afternoon and seemed to be in the
best Of spirits upon his return home.

Calderhead Addresses . Good Meet.
ing It Solomon.

The Republican meeting at Solo.
mon last Thursday was well attended
and was enjoyed by all. Hon. W. A.
Calderhead made the principal ad-
dress and it was an eloquent one.
He favors the doctrine Of expansion,
not for conquest but for the cause Of
liberty and believes that where the
flag has been raised it should never
be hauled down. He called attention
to the Populist congressman of Kan
sas in their opposition to the war
measures and to Gov. Leedy's crit
icism Of President Mckinley, showing
the lack Of patriotism and the abso.
lutte imbecility Of the Populists' ac-
ton in this matter. He devoted
some attention to discussion Of tar
if measures and showed how greatly
the nation has been benefited by the
Dingley and Mckinley bills. He was
listened to with interest throughout.
W. A. Hopkins presided and 5. S.
Smith introduced Mr.. Calderhead.

They Are Branch Stations.

Salina and junction City papers
are kicking because all the butter
made at their stations by the Belle
Springs company is wrapped in paper
on which is printed "Abilene, Kan
sas." Our neighbors must remember
that they are only branch stations.
The main factory is at Abilene from
which place they receive their money
fer milk. When Geary or Saline gets
to be great dairy county like Dick
inson it will be time enough to have
butter wrappers of its own. The
REFLECTOR prints about million
butter wrappers year for the Belle
Springs company-and each covers a
pound of butter. 1t is the largest
creamery company in the State and
our sister towns should be proud to
have even branches of it.

Thought Him a Burglar.

Herbert Cowan has more adven.
lures than anybody. A few days ago
he nearly ran down horse and bug
gy on his wheel and this week he was
taken for burglar. His father left
the boy at Hodge Bros store while he
went to council meeting. Herbert
went to sleep and one Of the proprie-
tors locked up and went home. The
boy awoke and raised several kinds OF
cain trying to get out. People pass
ing by thought there was a burglar
in the store and prepared to get REIN
forcements to capture him. Before
the police force arrived the boy tore
the door fastenings loose and got out.
He has not decided what his next adj
venture shall be.

BOYLE CAME AT LAST.
His Speech in the Court House at
Night,

Attorney General Boyle drove down
from Salina Friday evening and spoke
the court room after the band con.
cert. The court room was filled, all
parties being represented in the audi
ence, and those present heard most
accomplished Populist orator. Mr..
Boyle is by all odds the best speaker
OF that faith, except Tom Watson,
who has ever been here. He is elo-
quent and interesting and thorough
gentleman in his treatment of oppo.
nents. He advised his hearers to
study all sides Of public questions
and attributed fair motives to all
parties. His sentences were well
rounded and touched up here and there
with poetical quotations that were
pleasing. His arguments were not
well "clinched" and he failed to ex.
plain some very damaging charges
against his management Of the stock
yards matter. He claims that the
stockyards have not been driven out
Of Kansas-which ought to be capable
OF proof one way or the other
1t was noticeable that he had no
good words to say for Leedy and
though he made as good case as he
could for some of his Pop brethren it
was hard work.
After Boyle's speech Secretary OF
State Bush was introduced but the
crowd was restless and started to
leave so he made no speech.
1t is understood that Boyle's politi-
cal managers have served notice on
the Populist state campaign managers
that the fight waged against Boyle in
Kansas City, Kansas, by the old po-
lice machine must end at once or
there will be a fire started under
Governor Leedy that he won't like.
The Populist grievance against Boyle
is that he helped on the agitation that
led to the abolition of the metropol-
itan police system, and now the
victims are trying to get
,ven Besides that, Boyle stands up
'or Alger as against Leedy.
