The REFLECTOR learns from the
secretary that the state board of agri-
culture can still supply limited
number of applicants with copies of
the quarterly reports devoted to 1.-The
Helpful Hen, Alfalfa, Irrigation and
Subsoiling," "The Plow, Cow and
Steer" "Pork Production" and
Feeding Wheat to Farm Animals. "
Each of these practically exhausts the
subject of which ii treats and every
one of them is of great value to those
interested in Kansas live stock and
agriculture. The REFLECTOR recon-
mends its readers to send the postage
which is about six cents for each re-
port, to the State Board of Agricul-
ture, Topeka and secure this valua-
Bile literature.

Made a Fine Record.

Enterprise Journal G. W. Peter
son, as trustee for Center township,
has made a record that is splendid
example of what a good, honest, and
conscientious servant can do for his
constituency. He is the present trus'
tee for Center township, and was the
trustee for seven years preceding this.
He has served this township well,
and has also benefited the entire
county by his work before the county
board of assessors. His popularity at
home is attested by the fact that last
year he received every vote cast in
Center township for trustee. We be.
lieve that the time has come when he
should be given something better by
the people. No mistake will be made
il the people Of the Third district
elect him county commissioner, As
just recognition of his worth and
ability we propose his name as the
Republican candidate for county COM
missioner for the Third district.

Two Plutocrats.

A remarkable and, II true, a shame
full story is told in connection with
the Reck Island wreck Of last week.
ExGov. Lewelling who was on the
train says that when the bruised and
suffering passenger were taken from
the burning cars the conductor and
porter Of the Pullman, the only car
uniniured, refused to allow the res.
cuers to carry the injured into the
car. 1t was necessary to take mat
tress by force to use as stretcher to
carry the passengers to the depot
many hundred feet away. The
shameful cruelty Of the action is al
most past understanding. II the
conductor and portor were acting in
accordance with orders it was a dis
grace to the Pullman car company.
Such things simply pile up wrath to
come for corporations and they will
find out some day the retribution an
indignant people can visit II the
conductor and porter acted on their
own responsibility the passengers
should have taken them out and
strung them up to a telegraph pole
and steps should be taken to follow
them with such charges as will pro-
cure their dismissal. lnhumanity is
never excusable. i H. ~ ~
Another example occurred in New
York City within "a hours OF the time
of the wreck. The Windsor hotel
burned and many were injured, some
fatally. Across the street were
many millionaires' palaces. The
doors of one-and one only-were
thrown open. Helen Gould, whose
nobility Of soul has endeared her to
entire nation, threw open the doors Of
her magnificent mansion and dead,
dying and injured were taken in
and cared for as il they were near
and dear to her. The house was
made hospital for time.
What a contrast with the action Of
the naughty Pullman car conductor
and porter down in Waubaunsee
county!

The etate'a Expanaea.

Chairman Henley Of the ways and
means committee Of the legislature
tells exactly what it costs to run the
State:
The total amount appropriated BY
the recent legislature was s3,S7S,00O.
OF this sum $444, 900 was for defci-
encies which should have been met
by the legislature Of 1897. This
brings the appropriations for the two
fiscal years beginning June down to
50. 429, 900.
The receipts from the various state
departments, exclusive OF taxes, for
the two years beginning June ! will
be 1887, 485. This sum deducted
from the total appropriations leaves
80, 335,5l5, the amount to be raise by
taxation.
The legislature appropriated $444,'
500 for new buildings and repairs.
This was found necessary, as no ap-
preparations for these purposes had
been made for several years. 1t was
found upon investigation that the
buildings had run down, and that the
sanitary conditions were bad. TO
protect the property and properly
care for the inmates the legislature
deemed it advisable to incur this ex-
pense.
To ascertain the appropriations for
the current expenses of the State for
the next two years, the item for new
buildings should be added to the item
Of deficiencies and the sum Of the two
items-$SSS, 500-deducted from the
total appropriations, leaving 1884,.
$50 as the amount necessary for the
running expenses Of the various de-
partments and the several state insti-
buttons, which is less than the amount
appropriated two years ago.
The last valuation of taxable prop
erty was $3.50, 100000. 1t is estimat-
ed that the valuation OF the state this
year will be raised to $3.50, 900, 900.
The 5 mill levy fixed by the legisla-
ture on this valuation will raise 49,
100000. The total appropriations
deducted from the amount of revenues
leaves a surplus of $l64,396.
The levy of 1897 was Az mills. The
legislature Of 1899 found it necessary
to increaseathe levy four-ffths Of
mill in order to meet the deficiencies.
This does not include, Of course,
the quarter millspecial levy for the
completion Of the state house. The
Legislature in making this levy fol-
lowed the precedentlof former legis-
latures.

CEATH OF MRS DEUBLER.
A Good Woman Passed Away Sunday
Night.


Mrs. Jennie Deubler, wife of Alderman
Chas. Deubler, died at the home Of her
husband on Orange street at half-past
eleven o'clock Sunday night, aged SO
years.
Mrs. Deubler had been afflicted with
rheumatism and complication of other
diseases for long time, and her system
gradually yielded to the ravages of dis
ease until death released her pure spirit
from its tenement of clay and gave it
wings for flight to those realms where
sickness and sorrow never enter. She
bore her sufferings with that fortitude
which pOrtrays a heroic and christian
character, and there is consolation in
the thought that in the great eternity
| beyond this world of pain and sorrow
she has found sweet and eternal rest.
The deceased had long been an exem-
plary mem Der of the Baptist church, and
! the funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev. j. Howard Carpenter,
at her late hone Monday afternoon at
| half-past three O'Clock, after which the
! interment occurred at Cedar Hill ceme~
! terry in the presence of a large cOncourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends.
! A husband and two children, daugh.
! ter and son, are left to mourn her loss
and to these the sympathy of many
| friends is extended
