About the Ringlings.

The Chronicle last evening had a
thrilling article telling how Ringlings
skipped Abilene because on their last
visit two years ago they were COM
PEELED to show outside the city limits,
were charged 1926 fer aparade and S25
for breaking the First street bridge.
With the exceptions that Ringlings
on their last stop here did not use the
First street bridge nor break it or any
other bridge, that they used the reg
ular show grounds which they and all
other circuses have used for years
and paid the parade license. charged
by this and all other towns for years,
gladly, the article was.correct. The
$25 parade license does not pay the
city for the damage to the streets.
Ringlings stayed in Abilene two days
on their last visit, gave swell ban
quet at the Central and went away
with words Of praise for the town
They did not come this year because
they make only three stops in the
State on their way to the Pacific coast
and we are too close to Salina and
Junction. Sells Brothers n Fore
paugh will probably be here next
summer. The Chronicle editor
should not try to blacken the towns
good name before his place in 1t is
well warmed.

WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
Sol. F. Wood Il Out Of the Race for
Sheriff.

Sol. +. Wood, the well known Re.
publican leader Of Sherman township,
was in the city Monday, He has been
prominently mentioned throughout
the county as a candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for sheriff. TO
the REFLECTOR he said:
n am not q candidate for the NOM
ination for sheriff. do not feel that
| am able to make the campaign and
think it is better not to enter the
race. | do not withdraw in favor Of
anybody. ! am Republican and
the men nominated will have my
hearty support as the Republican
ticket always has. am grateful to
the many friends who have urged me
to make the race for this nomination
but ] am not candidate nor will be
before the convention. 1t is better
to have this understood at the start.
The Republicans should elect every
candidate on their ticket this fall and
! will heartily help them do it,"
Mr.. Wood is one Of the county's
foremost Republicans and all recog-
nized that he would come into the
convention with much strength. His
statement is a straightforward and
manly one and it can be depended
upon that he will always be found in
the front Of the battle for Republican
victory.

Is Looking Up That Claim,

Raymond Miller is taking steps to
investigate the claim Of Mcpherson
parties for the value Of the gun lost
by his son Rays companion on the
day Ray was drowned. The gun was
a borrowed one and it is claimed that
as Rays accident caused It's loss the
family should pay for it. The family
feels very badly over it and will in
vestigate it thoroughly. There are
other claims by Mcpherson parties
which will also be considered. The
gun claim is for 80 and is the only
one that seems unreasonable. Rays
clothes and some mounted specimens
are still held at Mcpherson. The
claim is made originally by the par
ties who loaned Rays companion the
gun and by the latter on the Miller
family,

A Choral Glass.

One Of the admirable features Of the
institute to open June 9th is to be a
choral class conducted by Prof L. r.
Lewis. The teachers will be taught
choral music with its Interpretation,
phrasing, respiration and expression
in a manner that will do them much
good. The union Of yowels and con.
sonants and the voice in song and

musical talents should miss this feat
ure even II they do not intend teach
ing.

With it came couple spurs that are

MALoLos, April 15.-Carl sent a
box Of cigars to you and Mr.. Rohrer
Yesterday. had them packed ready
to send before the fight in February
but this is the first time | could get
any one to mail them in Manila.
There is also pair Of chicken spurs
which ! picked up near the insur-
gents capital. Chicken fighting is a
great native sport and blooded
cock that one Of the regiments
brought over didn't last longer than
a SNOWFALL in hades when he met a
native bird. Only one man has been
killed and II wounded in our COM
pany. None Of the wounded will be
crippled except Joe Murray Of the
Dillon Republican who was shot
through the knee-cap and will have a
stiff leg.
Company L has been very lucky
considering the positions we have oc.
cupied. We are now about two miles
north Of Malolos. The telegraph in.
strument where sleep is the last on
on the railroad and our company is
farther out in the enemy's territory
than any other on the island. So far
we have done some growing, had
some fun, lots Of experience, usually
plenty to eat and some very stiff
fighting. The last two or three
fights have resulted in a foot-race, the
enemy taking to their heels before we
could get many.
The old veterans will have to take
back seat when we get home and
tell our war stories.
1t is not at all probable that there
will be much more Of an advance on
our part Of the line this season. The
regiment expects to get home some
time early in the fall.
So far have had no time to get
relics as we pushed out into the
country. Although some officers
have all kinds Of curios.
All the men have been in fine
health since in the field. We will be
put in barracks in about six weeks
when the rainy season begins.

PERSONAL.

The New York Journal has q sensa-
tional story about Col. VIM. Anderson
Silloway, who, with his wife, was found
starving In a basement. 1t says that be-
fore the war he wa. prosperous printer
and publisher in Kingston, N. VI that
he went into the army. became a Captain
on Gen. McClellan's staff, participated in
81 battles, was thought to be moFtally
wounded at Turner'S Gap, and that ho
was promoted to Colonel by President
Lincoln; that he served through the war
without pay, came home TO find his buSi-
ness ruined and his wife dead, and has
since been engaged in various occupa-
tons, until now he has broken down
completely. Farther, that he belongs to
the ancient Welsh family De Sillowaye,
and his father, who was d Colonel in ths
War Of 1872, was killed in battle" II
looks as il some tramp has been giving
the Journal reporter fine romance.
There was no Colonel during the war by
the name of Silloway. There was none
in the War OF 1872. Tho only sideways
in the rosters OF New England, New York,
and New Jersey are Jacob, ir., Fist
Lieutenant i'll the 9th n. Y, and Wm. f.,
a Captain in the 25th Conn, nine-
months regiment.
It is likely that Gen. James F. Wade
will be appointed to succeed Gen. Brooke
in command of the Island OF Cuba. Gen.
Brooke's health is not good, and he does
not want TO stay on the island during tbs
rainy season.
