4 Mighty Good Suggestion.

To the Editor Of the Reflector.
l believe the use OF q roller Of 20
tons over streets and roads would be
Of greater value as compared with the
expense Of operating than anything
else. %threshing engine would fur.
nish power for operating. Such
treatment OF streets and roads, il
they were Of proper ~couvexity, would
render them almost inpervious to
water, consequently they would re.
quire but little work to maintain
them in perfect condition.

Women and IeWeli.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that
is the order OF a woman's preference.
Jewels form a magnet Of mighty
power to the average woman. Even
that greatest Of all jewels, health, is
often ruined In the strenuous efforts
to make or save the money to pur.
chase them. II q woman will risk
her health to get a coveted gem, then
let her iortify herself against the
insiduous consequences Of coughs,
colds and bronchial affections by the
regular use OF DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest con-
sumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes
and drive the dread disease from the
system. 1t is not a cure-all, but it is
a certain cure for coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles. You can get

Cleaned Up tho Town.

At Longiord last week there was
an i%nsurrection against a joint that
has been conducted with unseemly
recklessness lately by X. Risenan.
About 100 men took hold OF the small
frame building that served as a
boozery and tipped it over. Then
they smashed it INFO kindling and
spilled a lot of whiskey and beer. A
Mrs. Welsh who has been obnoxious
was tarred and feathered. Both she
and Riseman were given "a hours to
get out OF town.

Eclipse 0uectacle.


At a few moments past 10 O'Clock
on Oct. lS the moon passed into the
earth's% shadow, from which it took il
almost three hours to emerge. The
night was ideal for observation Of the
phenomenon, and a considerable mum.
Der Of people about town sat up to
watch it. The night was clear and
beautiful, making perfect conditions
for the occasion.
1t was a great night for the young
people and they held ''eclipse"parties,
an occupation which proves more
conducive to osculatory activity than
watching comets, particularly when
the eclipse is at its height. A few of
the less frivolous set their alarm
clocks and got up and watched the
proceedings. Some people, however,
doubtless forgot all about it and will
be surprised to know that the whole
thing passed quietly off without
awakening them. Abilene Camp No.

Mr.. PEAB0DY'S SUICIDE
BISHOP SEYMOUR EXPLAINS
HIS TRAGIC DEATH.
Bright's Disease and softening Of
the Brain Dethroned His
Intellect.

Mobile Register.
The following statement OF Bishop Sey-
mour Of the Diocese Of Springfield, rela-
tive to the death of Rev. ID. G. Pea
body was sent to Mr.. w. M. Johnston Of
this city:
1--WE. the friends OF the Rev. d. {. Pea
body. owe a debt of duty to our deceased
brother. to explain to others outside Of
his family and circle OF person acquaint-
ances the circumstances and reason OF
his tragic death by his own hand.
'In his normal condition the Rev.
Douglass c. Peabody was as far removed
from suicide as any Christian man could
be. He was a gentleman by birth and
culture, and his noble, manly, tender and
SYMPATHETIC nature set the seal of reality
upon the charming dignified and most
attractive manners Of the man. He was
when In health King Of men," He
was splendid specimen OF robust de-
velopment and physical prowess. He
was six feet IN height and a born ath-
iete. With all his bodily strength and
force. he was OF most affectionate ard
tender disposition, and winning and at
tractive in presence and conversation.
HIS intellect was vigorous and able. His
religion was in his heart, and radiated
through his life in all its relations, and
made him what he was. one of the kind
est and best of husbands and fathers.

|fr Sted pastor. sanAi.
suddenly such a man kills himself.
How can we account for this appalling
fact? Diseases kindred In character and
related in effect had without the knowi-
edge OF his dearest friends or even him
self. seized upon him, and made stealthy
progress until the frightfui result was
reached on the fourth of July In his self
inflicted death.
.'Bright's disease, and softening Of the
brain dethroned his intellect, and were
the causes OF his insane act
while the Rev. Mr. Peabody's health
has been failing for the last year. no one
suspected that there was an unsetting
Of the mind until the end came.
His falling health and strength rem
dered him prey to worry, which would
| have disturbed a well mans peace OF
mind but to him little things seemed
burden too heavy to bear.
II committed the body of our deceased
| friend and brother to the grave at Olas-
| tonbury, Conn, on Monday. July 7. lso2.
"The burial was from the pretty village
| church. st. James, and the interment

II assure the Rev. Douglass c. Pea
