SOUTH SIDE. ABILENE, KANSAS. crExtra copies or the Reflectob can be found atSewell's Dook Store, at D'Huy's News ana Tobacco Stand and at this office. LOCAL AND OTHEBWIsiT Tom Armstrong is visiting at his old home in Hlinois. Mrs.

Herbert Hodge is visiting friends in Topeka. The ground hog is receiving his justification. We are glad to state that 'Squire Barber is improving. Thermometer 21 degrees below zero Tuesday morning. Go to the Reflector office for first class job work and low prices.

Dickinson county is doing well by the New Orleans Exposition. The Reflector makes regular visits every week to nearly 1600 families in Dickinson county. Advertisers, make a note of this. Hon. and Mrs.

C. II. Lebold are rejoicing over a new arrival at their home. The little stranger is a girl. Geo.

Hall, of Solomon City, was arrested last Monday for selling liquor contrary to law. He is charged on six courts. Allison, cashier of the Second National Bank, was fined $100. and costs in 'Squire Quinn's court, yesterday, for selling liquor contrary to law. R.

IJ. Ilaitahdiniily v-'ill leave in a few days where Mr. Hart will take charge of his recently deceased brother's business. Squire M. Tilton, of Detroit, and Henry "Warner and wife, of Enterprise, left last Monday for a visit to the World's Exposition at New Orleans.

The third prize in the oratorical contest of the State University, held at Lawrence last Priday evening, was won by W. T. Little, who is well known here. A half-witted boy entered 'Squire Davidson's carriage house last 1 riday -night and considerably damaged his carriage by cutting and slashing the top of it. Mr.

L. Hoffman, editor of the St. Mary's Express, gave us a pleasant call last Monday. He came up for a short visit to his friends and was the guest of Mr. Finley and J.

E. Brewer. Mrs. August Rubin, one of the oldest settlers of this county, died atherhome on Lyons Creek, Dec. 31, '84.

She leaves a bereaved husband and many warm friends to mourn their loss. Abilene and vicinity were well represented at Topeka last Tuesday. G. W. Hurd, 'Squire Davidson, Prof.

Jewett, A. II. Martin, T. Harris and A. G.

Buchanan were the visiting statesmen. C. C. Shaler has moved his drugstore into his handsomely furnished room in the new block. He now has one of the most attractive drugstores in the State.

Look out for what he says next week. 9 Mr. Danforth, of the Chronicle office, used the big paper knife disastrously one day last week. The end of his right thumb was cut nearly off, and the wound will relieve him from work for a week or two. The attention of persons going East is called to the ad of the Old Reliable II.

St. Jo. Railroad. Travelers will find it one of the best equipped, managed and most accommodating of any road in the United States. Rev.

Gilbert De LaMatyr, the noted greenback orator, will lecture in this city, on the evenings of the 24th and 25th of this month. His first subject will be, "Daniel, the Teototaler and Incorruptible Statesman." Geo. Sterl, Ed. Herbst, Will Gleiss-ner, Geo. Holzworth and Charlie Howard, left on Sunday noon's train for New Orleans.

Messrs. Sterl and Herbst will go to Plorida before they return, and will be absent a month or more. The others will return in about two weeks. The merchants of Abilene will find that the advertising columns of the Reflector will yield them large returns. Every line in this paper is read by over regular readers, and the circulation oi! the paper is rapidly increasing every week.

Finley's catalogue of choice seed potatoes, printed at the Reflector office, will be ready for distribution next week. It is a pamphlet of 24 pages, and contains a description of fifteen choice varieties of potatoes. If you want seed potatoes call on Pinley. The city council met in regular session last Priday night, but transacted very little business. The council adjourned to meet in the City Hall on Priday evening, at which time the division of the city into wards aud other matters of interest will be considered.

A. Upperman returned to Abilene last week from the World's Exposition at New Orleans. He brought back with him several beautiful silk souvenirs of his visit, one of which, a handsome silk Cleveland badge, he kindly presented to the Reflector. Henry Burrough, the genial and well liked night operator 'in the telegraph office in this city, left yesterday for Lawrenceburg to take complete possession of the railroad station at that point. Henry is accommodating and reliable and the Reflector trusts that he has found a pleasant berth.

A sneak thief lifted a $30. overcoat which was displayed in front of Simon Rothschild's clothing store last Saturday morning. And while we sympathize with Simon, we are yet of the opinion that the thief appreciated his Bteal last Monday and Tuesday, if he. hail the courage to wear the coat: A number of "boys broke into Wall Bros. Store at Soloman City one day last week and unlawfully appropriated jack knives and other articles dear to a boy's heart.

They were taken in charge by Sheriff Miller and now pass their time in the city jail. They will be sent up in all probability to a good reform school. ill Tvitli inflam- The Reflector appreciates a copy of the New Orleans Picayune, sent to it by W.H. Sunderland. Sherwood Davidson is slowly improving in health.

He is now able to sit up part of the day. Dr. Austin was in Topeka last week. He visited the House of Representatives and thinks, as does the editor of this paper, that it is composed of very ordinary men. Tlse demand for the Reflector for the past month has been greater than the supply.

The people, regardless of party, are recognizing it as thepaper of the county. The members of Co. K. are requested to meet in their armory next Monday evening, at which time, as per order, there will be a monthly muster. Members not present will be reported to headquarters as absent without leave.

J. J. Berry, in company with W. D. Thompson gave the Messenger omce a pleasant call last Thursday.

Mr. Berry is of the firm of Berry Abilene, who are large land holders in this county. Mr. Berry informed us that their firm intend to settle fifty families this spring in this county, on town 10 and 11, range 1 and 2. Our formerly of Delphos, John Pendergast is a member of the firm of Berry Bros.

Minneapolis Messenger. Mr. D. E. Snider, of the firm of Shockey Snider, has sold his interest in said firm to Mr.

Geo. E. Scherer, a man of business tact aud a gentleman whom the Reflector is pleased to welcome to the business circle of Abilene. Mr. Snider in retiring, has the pleasure of knowing that the business of the firm was increasing.

lie has many warm friends who will regret this step of his. Mr. S. intends to remain in Abilene. Mr.

J. P. Barnes, of Bruceton Mills, W. writes to the Reflector as "Enclosed find one dollar for which please send your paper to my address. I received your sample copy and like it very much.

I expect to continue my subscription. How long will I get the paper for oue dollar? The Reflector is much obliged to Mr. Barnes for his subscription. His one dollar pays for the varm for eight parr months. The Barton Mastodon Minstrel performance, given in Case's hall last Thursday evening, under the management of the Gazette Band, was attended by a large crowd, and the entertainment gave satisfaction to every one present.

The endmen were very funny and Charley Barton makes a handsome interlocutor. AVe understand the boys are billed for Junction City and Clay Center this week, and that they will visit all the neighboring towns. One evening last week Mr. M. V.

Brillhart and family narrowly escaped a calamity. The hanging lamp suspended over the dining table fell while the family were seated at supper and broke every dish, cup and saucer of a new tea set. The oil in the lamp was scattered over the table and over the two-year old baby, but very fortunately the force of the fall put out the wick llame, and the baby was thereby saved a probable death by burning. Mr. Brillhart doesn't count the cost occasioned by the accident.

He is thankful that he escaped so easily, and well he may be. We clip the following from D. W. Keller's old home paper, the Democratic Watdnnan, of Bellefonte. Penn.

We are indebted to Mr. David W. Keller, of Abilene, Kansas, for a copy of the Reflector, in which was enclosed a fine pair of buck-rabbit ears. He writes: "This will beat Bellefonte." Quite likely, as buck-rabbits are scarce in the streets of our town, but there is no telling how many miles of prairie "Dave" chased over in order to secure that one pair of ears. No doubt the West is a great country, and all that, but "Davy," why didn't you enclose us a wild Injun or a snortin' buffalo.

Hang your buck-rabbits. Why, bless your soul, we kill bars, wild-cats, deers and sich, right around town here, now. Times are 'changed since you left, "Davy," you know. an abstractor love's noble flame, 'Tis lore refined, arid purged from all its The above lines of the poet was fully realized last Monday evening by our young friend, Mr. J.

E. Brewer, of Pinley's general merchandise store, when his room was invaded unexpectedly by some twenty of his friends to remind him that he was then 22 years of age, and to have a good time generally, which they did. Before leaving, in token of their friendship and esteem, they presented him with a beautifully bound volume of poems, richly illustrated, entitled; "The Cambridge Book of Poetry and Song," by Charlotte Priske Bates. It was indeed a happy evening to all, but especially so to J. E.

Brewer. A Card. Words fail to express our thanks to the dear friends and.members of the different Orders of which my husband was a member, for-their kindness and deep sympathy for us in this our great sorrow. The God of the Wisdom and Fathers will reward. E.J.

Parent. Chapman Chips. What a time last Sunday night w)uld have been for the Chapman Creek giiost to have been prowling about in a white sheet for an overcoat. No one has seen this phantom for several months. It may have frozen out during the cold weather.

Can't some one rustle a new ghost, or start a new ghost story? The infant children of J. P. Scherer and W. D. Connor were both buried during the last week.

The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved families. The last freeze up put a dead lock on all news matter. The cold wave came in all its fierceness last Sunday. No one wanted to see it for the ice houses are all full, and the cold night courting business has been so thoroughly and successfully accomplished, that the boys dare not go anymore, until there is some radical change in the weather. Who will be the lucky and enterprising men to put in a large flouring mill in town the coming season? There is money in the scheme.

Two or three of us mugwumps have concluded not to try for the post office. The trouble seems to be that they can't make their neighbors believe in their past democracy. That same thing will trouble many another poor sinner before he sheds his next crop of pin eath- TV. S. Hodge is very matory rheumatism.

ers. The men who wore three or four coats last fall were, here as elsewhere, pretty generally found out. It will be hard for them now to convince people they were only joking. It will not be an April fool joke though, when some good democrat is appointed for this office. One of our ladies is disconsolate and will doubtless have to be consoled.

And it is all about something which will never personally concern her. Cannot some fine young man step in and soothe and quiet the nervous system of this old dame? Who dares predict the weather after this for anv locality? Our almanac makers, and the philosophers alike, failed to give us any warning of the terrible snows, blizzards, and other fearfully cold and freezing weather we have experienced in the last sixty days. Singular how such an important matter was overlooked by so many persons engaged in publishing patent medicine almanacs. Hewbern Notes. The past few days gave us the Spring fever, but at this writing we are recovering rapidly.

Miss Ida Mosely returned from Lawrence a few days since where she has been attending school. Thos. Stagg left on Thursday for 111., his former home, to see his father who is not expected to live long. Miss Carrie Rowe who is teaching school south-west of this place, spent Saturday and Sunday with her parents. Miss Carrie is meeting with splendid success in her first attempt to conduct a school.

Mr. A. II. Smith who came to Dickinson county 13 years ago and settled on a homestead with only a pair of old horses and a sick wife, can now boast of one or the best farms in Dickinson county. His land is all fenced with hedge and divided into 40 acre fields.

He built a nice two story dwelling last year, and contemplates erecting a big barn this spring or summer. A. II. says Kansas is good enough for him. The oyster supper at the residence of II.

Springe on the eve of Feb. 4th, proved a grand success in spite of the inclemency of the weather. The supper realized a profit of nearly sixty dollars which will be used for the benefit of the Rev. Mr. Allman minister of the M.

E. church at Mt. Ayr. The ladies that labored so faithfully, (especially Mrs. A.

II. Smith, Mrs. II. Springer and Mrs. J.

S. Hays) for the success of the supper certainly deserve the commendation of all good people. D. The Highland Literary Society is moving along finely. The River Brethren have been holding a series of meetings at the Scleigh-gel school house.

The Highland district hold an election next Saturday, Feb. 14, for the purpose of voting bonds to build a good school house. These bonds should be voted without a dissenting voice. Mr. Will Munnel, who is quite well known on Turkey creek, has left for parts unknown.

We trust the young maidens will not shed too many tears of grief over his sudden departure. Mr. Randel Lightkep received a telegram from Philadelphia, last Wednesday, calling him to the bedside of his father who is not expected to live but a short tme. Randel, as he is familiarly called, has many friends in this vicinity, whose sympathies are with him in this, his time of trouble. Mr.

F. Clark met with quite a misfortune a few days ago. He attempted to cross Holland creek with a team and wagon, but not being well acquainted with the ford he found the water much deeper than he expected, and it being so swift it washed his. team down stream. Mr.

C. found it impossible to save his team and barely escaped being drowned himself. Mr. Clark is a hardworking, moral young man and no doubt the people will" liberally contribute to get him another team. Our commissioners should order a board put up at every ford in the county, by means of which a man can tell when the streams are too high to cross.

Mr. Palmer was elected trustee in our township after a somewhat exciting race. Mr. Benjamin Gish has an ice house 16xlSxl4 feet filled with fine ice. We will all try to keep cool this summer, post-office or no post-office.
