He did not forget to call on the Keflector. Dr. and Mrs. G. A.

Crise, of Frederick, have been visiting in Abilene since last week. They came in quietly and gave their many friends a delight-fid surprise. There was a pleasant social gathering at Mr. Mahan's residence last Friday evening, in honor of Mr. Clark Mahan, who was at home for a day or two from the University at Lawrence.

Mr. Curtis, of Jersey ville, 111., arrived in this city last Tuesday, to take possession of the Cuthbert farm, which he boght some time ago. Mr. Curtis is a brother of It. X.

Hoffman is a newspaper man of promise, and the Keflector hopes to see him succeed. He gave the Keflector a pleasant call last Monday. Mr. J. S.

Latto, of Clay Center, called on the Keflector last Friday. Mr. Latto seems to be well pleased with Clay Center, and considers it a business place. Clay Center's business may be all right, but a foreign subscriber to its papers would be forced to the conclusion that its moral atmosphere was not attractively health)-. For business, virtu 3 and happiness, come to Abilene;" possessing these three desirable attributes, she shines pre-eminent.

To-day is Ash-Wednesday the beginning of Lent. Louie Lord at Bonebrake's Opera House, March 14 and 15. Litts Huffman bought a 720 pound hog, yesterday. It cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $50.

Metzger has sold the Farmers' Home and will remove to the house now occupied by Henry Litts. Mr. L. and children will board with his father, L. H.

Litts, in west Abilene. The Presbyterian church social will meet with Mrs. J. G. Hamaker, Friday evening, March 7th.

Refreshments will be served, and unusual attractions in the way of entertainment. All are cordially invited. A large company of friends were pleasantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. John Warfield on Friday evening at their home on Spruce street.

The genial host and hostess made the evening thoroughly enjoyable to all present. The X. Y. Sun says: J'Our Strategists' is one of the most enjoyable and laughable compoimdsof ridiculous absurdities ever produced on the American or any other stage. It fairly glis tens with humorous gems.

Tuesday's Journal, of Kansas City, says that "Simon Koehenthald, of Abilene, at the Metropolitan." The poor old Journal probably meant Simon Rothschild. This is either a sad commentary on Simon's "fist," or the reporter was drunk. The Gazette appeared last week as a seven column quarto. The Reflector congratulates its neighbor on the adoption of the Reflector's size and shape. This is conclusive evidence that the Reflector leads and the Gazette follows.

In this the Gazct te manifests remarkably good judgment, and the Keflector cordially congratulates. Miss Mai Johnson, who recently resigned her position as teacher in the Abilene public schools, was married last evening, the 27th, to a Mr. Chestnut, of Clay Center, the County Treasurer of Clay. It would seem that Abi-len's public school is a success in marrying off its teachers as well as in educating the youth. If this kind of a reputation grows, there will be no end to applications from would-be teachers for places.

In the meantime, the Reflector respectfully offers to Miss Johnson its best wishes fr future happiness and prosperity. At his residence, 9 miles south-west of Abilene on Holland creek. February 25th, Peter Boor, a German, aged 70 years and 1 months, died of huig fe- ver. The Boston Glohe says: To witness a performance of Haverly's Comedy Companv in "Our Strategists' is the best antidote for the most inveterate case of blues on record. We never heard people laugh louder or applaud vociferously.

moie i I Mr. and Mrs. Dan Morris Sullivan, in Shiel-a-Gar failed to materialize here on Friday evening as advertised. They made no explanation of their failure to keep their engagement, which was rather shabby treatment on their part to a first class "Show town." -Her Majesty's Italian Opera Companv," will arrive in Abilene this morning by special train at o'clock. The companv of 125 persons will breakfast at the Ilenrv House, and it is safe to say that Madame Gerster will be just as well served as at Kansas City.

The Keflector is glad to learn from its correspondents that the tariff and prohibition questions are being so generally discussed throughout the county. An intelligent, unprejudiced investigation of these questions is all that is needed to expose the false benefits of each. Tommy Mclnerney narrowly escaped being run over by the cars last Sunday. Sitting on a Haft car, a sudden bump from the engine knocked him to the ground almost under the wheels. As it was.

his left arm was painfully sprained. Boys cannot be too particular in playing around the railroad tracks and on cars. Sooner or later some one will get killed. The Chicago Tribune says: "Our Strategists" is one of the funniest and most amusing performances ever seen here. The end of the third act caused almost a panic in the house.

People leaned over their chairs on their neighbors' up and laughed, yes roared, until many of them looked like so many appoplectic strokes. The company was called before the curtain at the end of each act. No such demonstration has ever been witnessed in the Academy. Mi-. W.

II. Whitehurst died at his home in this city last Monday morning, aged about 50 years. Mr. Whitehurst was among theearliest settlers of Abilene, being here when the city was in its infancy, He was the proprietor of the Abilene Foundry, and in his business life was straightforward and honest. He was respected by his friends and neighbors.

The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at his late residence, and the remains were buried in the city cemetery Avith Masonic honors. The Topeka Capital is authority for the statement that the Burlington route is to be extended into Kansas under the name of the Chicago Central Kansas railroad, the company having been chartered to Salina from White Cloud. A survey for a bridge, has been completed across the Missouri at White Cloud to connect witn the C. B. Q.

at Bigelow. The road will run through the counties of Doniphan, OUawa, Dickinson. Clay, Kiley, Pottawatomie, Nemaha and Brown, a distance of 1,010 miles, main line and branches. This is both cheering and refreshing, and we hope to be able to give additional particulars next week. The grain, stock and merchandise shipped from Abilene during 1S83 amounted to 2,172 full care, an average of about six car loads per day, Sundays included.

Of this number, wheat filled OSS care; com 577 cars, cattle 109 cars, sheep 21 care, hogs 191 care, and Hour and mill stuff 214 cars. During the same year there were sold at Abilene passenger tickets for This statement does not include the incoming car loads and passengers. Is there a town on the K. P. road west of Kansas City, with the probable exception of Topeka, that can make as gojd a showing? "Only a Fanner's given by a so-called Union Square company in Bonebrake's Opera House last Monday evening, was a disappointment to the large and intelligent audience which listened to it.

The company advertises liberally and artistically, and that is its greatest merit. Adelaide Cherie- as the Adventuress is tolerable in the lighter parts, but she is not a success as an emotional or dramatic actress. Camille Kinzlev as Justina is not impressive nor talented. The little girl's acting was charming and her manner sweet. Fred Hunter as the Farmer was creditable.

The other characters were ordinary. Autocratic Fay mercilessly 'cut "Gi-rolle-Girolla" last Weduesday evening in tlie face of a SG00 or $700 house. As a consequence, when the curtain fell the third time, the audience remained seated waiting for "more," and the intelligent, appreciative people of. art centre of Central Kansas, had to be told to go home It was a great humiliation, but this winter, down hi Emporia, another recognized art center, Mr. George Miln appeared as "Hamlet," and at the close of the performance the large audience yelled earnestly and enthusiastically for the "author of the piece." This true incident in a measure compensates us for the humiliation inflicted upon us by the altogether lovely and irresistible Fay.

But Fay will come again, will do as she pleases and will conquer as usual. Abilene's fame as an art center is spreading abroad. The attractions which have visited our growing and cultured city during the past two weeks, are to be supplemented to-day by the gracious advent of one of the most popular aud gifted operatic singers of the day Madame Etelka Gerster. Manager Mapleson smiles benignantly upon the city, and the great jmrna donna gives it assurances of her profoundest regard and consideration. Her artistic heart is filled with love for her baby and Abilene.

Col. Mapleson regretted that "previous" engagements rendered it impossible for "Her Majesty's Italian Opera Company" to stay in Abilene for a longer tune than was necessary tor its 125 hungry souls to breakfast. He exceedingly regretted the fact as did Madame Gerster. But our people, the Reflector is glad to state, will bear the disappointment manfully, and will try to content themselves with the pass ing air of divine opera which was started in motion by "Her Majesty's" special train. In a few years, if Abilene pays strict attention to business, she may have Gerster or any other first magnitude stir she maj ask for.

It is only a question of time- The J. E. Bonebrake Hardware com-mm have hist issued an illustrated ltnlosue and price list of their immense business. Alter itemizing everything and giving the pr jspective buyer all possible information, the reader will find a good deal of outside information. These catalogues are free for distribution.

The growth of the house can find no better illustration than the title page of the catalogue cover, where it will be seen that in Mr. J. E. Bonebrake commenced business in a little frame I building about 16x24. In striking con-j trast to" the picture of the above build ing, is the picture or me mammoui brick block in which the business is now done.

Fay Templeton has come and gone, but she has left a memory in the minds of our people which will compel her return. It can hardly be said that Girojlc-Girojla was so popular as Jfas-cotle or Olivette, but Fay's skillful interpretation and artistic rendition of the the part were so successfid that the opera was enthusiastically received. Fay has improved since she was here last September, and her rich beauty, charming and irresistible manner and art, which is so subtle and realistic that it ceases to be art. will always be an attraction for our people. Alice Vane is a favorite also, and Louis de Lange, one of the finest comedians on the American stage, has a strong hold upon the humor-appreciating popular heart.

Educational Notes. to school treasurers. The first semi-annual dividend of State and County school fund for 18S4 is apportioned amounting to 40 cents per scholar, payable at county treasurer's ollice. The attention of school district clerks is called to the matter of requiring a full and complete school report from teachers as required by law. Petitions are on file in the county superintendent's ollice for the formation of six new school districts.

Teacher's institute at Abbey school, South Dickinson and Harvey school house, North Dickinson. District Court. The court was taken up until Wednesday morning with the trial of whisky cases. Each case, with one exception, was a conviction, and the guilty counts number 19. The verdicts have been according to testimony, and are just.

Judge Nicholson will afiix the penalties in open court next Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, and how lenient or severe he will be the Reflector is unable to state. The result of the trials cannot be estimated until after court adjourns. Wednesday morning the civil docket was begun, with the jury cases at the top. The following are the liquor cases disposed of: State vs. Dcnni Morgan.

This celebrated and continent-renowned comedy will be presented at Bonebrake's Opera House next Friday evening, Feb. 29. Our peop'o are familiar with the name of the coniedy, and will remember that "Our Strategists" sustained itself for consecutive weeks before New York, Philadelphia and Chicago audiences.

That Abilene is to be highly favored by the appearance of j. H. Haverly's company in this play, is proved by the fact that the company comes here from Kansas City on its way to Denver. Kansas City, Abilene and Denver sound well together, do they not? The play is well known and of the company the Kansas City Ttmcs says: "Wednesday evening at the Gillis one of the funniest of all modem comedies will be presented. The company is said to be a very strong one, carefully selected, evenly balanced and thoroughly artistic.

The sale of tickets will begin to-day, and it is safe to predict a full house." The Jimes critic is one of the best and safest of any writer west of St. LOuis. Manager Bonebrake, disappointed and fooled in the "Only A Farmer's Daughter" company, will be congratulated on securing Haverly's "Strategis'ts." The performance bids fair to rival if not excel Fay Templeton in attractiveness. The Reflector would advise those who wish to see a first-class comedy, to buy their tickets at Northcraft's while they have the chance. C0TTNTY CORRESPONDENCE.

An Objector. Editor Reflector: I saw your notice of the fire stating that if water had been furnished-when they (the firemen) were ready for it, the greater part of tlie shop would liave been saved. Now, please tell us how that could have been possible, when the flames had buret through the roof before the first tap of the bell. I was there as soon as any of them, as I have been to all of the fires, and am sure they had water when ready. There is a great deal said about fires that is not true.

I am of the opinion that if all hands do their work, as well as the water works force, there will be little room to find fault. I wish to see justice done to all. An Outsider. Solomon Scraps. Corn and wheat coming in as if there was no end to the supply.
