Eggstraordinary Possibilities.
To the Editor OF the Reflector,

To the Editor OF the Reflector,
ABILENE, Aug. 29.-Some brilliant
mathematician is losing an opportun-
ity in figuring on that shipment Of
seventy carloads Of eggs from Kansas
and how many glasses Of egg-nog
they would make or how much they
would have been worth II chicken
had been hatched from each egg and
when fully matured had been served
over lunch counter at 10 cents per
plate. But think what an omelet
these 100000 eggs would produce!
Assuming that five eggs will make an
omelet that will I'll platter foot
long, these seventy carloads Of eggs
would make an omelet that would
reach from the wind-swept prairies Of
Greeley county to the mouth Of the
Kaw river and would make contlnu-
GUS lunch for several regiments Of
Uncle Sans boys on their way to the
coast. CITIZEN.

FOUND STOLEN WATCHES.
North Dickinson Boy Has Evidence
Of a Talmage Burglary.

A young man named Saylor living
in North Dickinson and aged about
10 years was arrested Tuesday by Mar
shal Favor on charge Of stealing four
watches from John Fulton Of ofTalmage
about two months ago. He was try.
ing to sell some watches when the
marshal gathered him in. He gave
several fictitious names before his
right one was discovered.
Two hunting case goldflled
watches were found on his person,
one Of which corresponded in case
and works number with one lost by
Mr.. Fulton.
A telegram was sent to Talmage to
to bring Mr.. Fulton to indentify the
goods. 1t will ego hard with the
young man arrested.
Young Saylor came in with his
father, one Of the county's most re-
speeted citizens and who was greatly
disheartened by his sons escapade.
The young man had long talk with
his father at the jail and confessed
the whole matter.

ROCK ISLAND FLYER WRECKED.
Smash.up Near Manhattan Causes
Several Injuries.

MANHATTAN, Aug. 29.--East bound
Flyer No. 10 on the Rock Island was
wrecked at 5;45 o'clock this morning
at Keats, the first station west Of
Manhattan. The accident was caused
by the flyer running into the rear OF
freight train, which had just pulled
onto the siding to allow the flyer to
pass. The front Of the engine was
stove in, three passenger coaches
were thrown off the track, and two
freight cars damaged. The wreck
ing train was Immediately sent out
from Fairbury, and a special train
with officials Of the road and surgeons
left Manhattan and Mcfarland for the
scene of the accident. Everything
possible Is being done to care for the
injured and clear away 'he wreck.
1t is reported that them were no
fatalities but about 20 injured,

IT WAS A JOKE.
Whistle Blows and People Think
There Is a Fire.

The town was wakened last Mon
day earlier than usual by prolonged
whistling of an engine in the Santa
Fe yards. 1t was 30 loud as to be
clearly heard in the north part Of
town, more than a mile away. Peo-
pie thought it was an alarm Of fire or
signal Of distress from Johntz's mill
and many men went to the scene Of
the untimely noise. The whistle
blew for about 35 minutes with vary
ing intensity. 1t was found to come
from one Of the yard engines Of the
Santa Fe just being fired up. 1t was
shut off as soon as citizens began to
appear on the ground and the en-
ployes in charge Of the engine denied
that there had been any whistling,
saqing that it was probably the mill.
1t seems to have been intended for
a joke but the people who hurried
many blocks to give assistance some
how failed to see the humor OF the
thing and were tolerably cross overit.
1t is claimed also by some Of the
engine men that something was
wrong with the valve OF the whistle,
causing the trouble. 1t is strange
that the watchman did not know Of
it.
The matter will be reported to
headquarters and an investigation Of
the "joke" will follow. IT may not
prove so excruciatingly funny after
all. A fire alarm is too serious O
thing to be used in sport.

Atchison Don't Like 1t.

About the only knocker on Abilene's
show Is Atchison which don't like it
because it is called a corn carnival.
The Emporia Gazette remarked the
other day: "The Gazette, which ad-
mires Atchison more than it does any
other Kansas town but Emporia, re-
grets to see certain deplorable spirit
Of irritation manifested by Atchison
towards other towns that are getting
up corn carnivals. OF course Atchi.
son is the originator Of the corn car
nival idea, and Of course other towns
are initiating Atchison. But what is
good thing for except to be imitat-
edP The very fact that Atchison has
so many imitators in her corn ,arni-
val should make her proud. Atchi.
son will only spoil the good deed by
being grouchy II Others initiate her. u
The Atchison Globe which is the OF.
fetal organ Of the town replied;
"Atchison is not grumbling very
much because Of imitation corn car.
nivals, but it is very decidedly Of the
opinion that Abilene scould have call
cd Its fall affair Corn Festival, OF
something else."

Here's q Pointer.

The Atchison Globe tells this Of q
coming corn carnival feature; "Prof
Wilson, Of the county high school has
decided to have an elaborate feature
at the corn carnival. He will have
an exact model Of the high school,
made entirely Of corn, on exhibition.
The model will be large one, pro-
fusely decorated, and over it will float
a large U. S. flag made entirely Of
corn husks. A large number Of the
high school students will attend in a
body, and wear large button on
which will be photo Of the high
school building" Dickinson's high
school might make an exhibit at the
Abilene carnival.

COMFORT FOR REBELS.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was bitter,
vindictive arraignment of the govern
ment for attempting to suppress the
Tagal rebellion. He had not one
word to say for the encouragement of
our soldiers in the Philippines. He
never even alluded to them, but his
whole talk was that Aguinaldo and
his followers were right, and we were
wrong. He assumed that we had in
vaded the country of another people
in the Orient, and were trying to i'm

Enterprise Didn't Come.

There must have been an earth
quake or some other terrible disturb
ance in Enterprise Monday. The
tennis players Of that town had chal-
lenged Abilene to tournament to
settle the Dickinson county cham
pionship. Then at the last minute
they sent word that they could not
come and no one appeared TO hold dp'
Enterprises end. Tho people Of the
city Of mills are dead game sports
and it can be depended on that moth
ing less than a catastrophe would
prevent their appearing on time.
The letter was stamped at Enter
prise at 5 o'clock, Aug. 49,, not get
ting here Of course until after 4
o'clock, 1t being the first news re-
ceived regarding the non-appearance
Of the Enterprise players. The let
Ter stated that one OF their number
was in Colorado and one In New
York, and that 1t would be impossi-
BILE to come at the present time.
Abilene's players are very indignant
at this kind OF treatment and no
more contests will probably be con-
sidered from Enterprise.

DO is in open rebellion against the

the fire was extinguished before the
roof was burned. The damage is not

property owned by a Los Angeles company. At depth of 250 feet the ore body is twenty feet wide and of much higher grade than heretofore found in the mine. The 120 ton con- centrator has all 2t can do to handle the output of the mine.
 The Midnight, a location that has passed from hand to hand for twenty years, has just gone beyond the stage of a ten-foot hole prospect and has been found to be eII immense body of sulphids ore, running well in gold and silver and high in copper.

 The two sampling works at King man are running On full time to handle the output of the small mines. Within a radius of twenty miles from King man it is estimated that there are 200 mines which have produced ore which has been smelted. Many of these are now being worked.

ABOUT KINGMAN.
Items Gathered by the Albuquerque
 Citizens Correspondent.

One hundred men and thirty teams, writes the correspondent of the Albu- querque Citizen. are at work on the new railroad which is being built from Kingman to Chloride. The grading party is now out about three miles and it is proposed to have trains running before August 1. Although the new road leaves the Santa Fe Pacific track about three miles from Kingman, so as to secure a better grade, this latter railway requires that Kingman shall be the terminal, as it is the policy of the Santa Fe Pacific not to build up new towns to the detriment of their established stations. Therefore the Arizona & Utah, as the road is called, was bound by contract to make this town the end of their line and they are required to deliver all freight to this point.
 Chloride, which for the time being at least will be the northern terminus of the new road, is rapidly building up and promises to make a good town. Mining property in the Wallapai range of mountains between Kingman and Chloride is finding a ready sale and many new mines are being developed and old ones revived
 To help OF the general boom, quite number of new developments have been made and deep mining has shown bonanzas- The greatest of these has been in the Tennessee, a
