Broom Brigade of sixteen young ladies at the Opera House, Friday evening April 11th. Go and see them. The cleaning of yards and trimming of trees is going on in all parts of the city. The lawns are already clothed in bright, living green, and trees and shrubs are budding and leaving. The Clifford dramatic company made a good impression on our people.

It is said that it embraced more talent and abitity than any company which has appeared here during the present season. Postmaster Hodge is having an addition added to the back end of the post oflice building. The addition is necessary fo enlarge the lobby and give the boys more room in which to handle the mail. The total number of lock, call and general delivery boxes in the Abilene post ollice number more than one thousand. There isn't a vacant box in the whole lot, and more boxes will probably be ordered.

The immense establisliment of Berry Bros. Mercantile speaks to the people of Dickinson county in a voluminous and convincing manner. It will interest you, and better still it will pay you, to read their half-page advertisement. Right about face. March to the Opera House, Friday evening, April 11th, to witness one of the most novel and interesting entertainments ever given in Abilene the Broom Brigade Drill by sixteen young ladies in uniform with Capt.

McDivitt in command. Another popular dime social and conceit will be given at Grace Chapel on Friday evening, April 4th. Music, vocal and instrumental, by some of the best singers and musicians in the city and an enjoyable time. Proceeds to pay for organ. All are invited.

The bill creating a state veterinary surgeon is also given to our readers. The news department this week is specially interesting and comprehensive. The Reflector is bound to keep in the lead.

'Cassius hath a lean and hungry but if he had dined at the Ballou House, Minneapolis, he would have looked as fat and sleek as Chadband. The proprietors of this excellent house, the Messrs. Ballou. are first-class gentlemen, and do everything in their power to make their guests comfortable and feel at home. Under their management the Ballou House has already gained an enviable reputation, and when any of our citizens are at Minneapolis they should put up at this metropolitan house.

"Attention!" JS'o entertainment has visited Abilene during the past years which can be said to exceed in interest the "Broom Brigade Drill" to be given at Bonebrake's Opera House, Friday evening, April 11th. The brigade will be composed of sixteen of Abilene's charming young ladies, who appear in dress uniform aud go through the manual of arms and the intricate maneuvers of a parade drill and the battle field. Capt. C. J.

McDivitt will be in commmand. Those of om readers who have not attended a broom drill will not regret accepting our statement that it is one of the most novel and interesting of all entertainments. Besides the thills the entertainment will consist of music, singing of select and comic songs by the Glee Club, of Solomon, and by some of Abilene's best musical talent, also beautiful tableaux by the brigade. Remember the date and be sine to go. The Spanish Students who they are and what thev have done.

This cele brated organization, though well known on the Continent, was first heard of in this country when under the management of Henry E. Abbey they appeared in the principal cities, and electrified their hearers by the novelty, brilliancy and charm of their music. The origin of the combination was the formation in Madrid, Spain, a number of years ago, of a musical organization composed of the students of the principal college in that city, who gave a number of concerts which became exceedingly popular. After two years they decided to visit the Paris Exposition, and proceeded thither on foot, giving concerts en route. Their playing excited mibounded enthusiasm in Paris and fairly took the city by storm.

They received such nattering offers of engagements from all parts of the Continent that they decided to remain permanently upon the concert stage, and since their appearance in Paris have appeared with brilliant success in all the principal European cities. Their instruments are guitars and mandolius, all of wliich have double the number of strings of the ordinary instruments, the guitars having fourteen and sixteen strings and the mandolins twelve. Samuel "Wilson was born in Westmoreland count', Jan. 31st, 1S30, and died March 20th, 1SS4, aged 54 years aud nearly 2 months. He settled Dickinson county 13 years ago, aim during all that time was identified with its interests and progress, lie has seen a desert blossom like the rose, and a strairclincr village crow to a large and important town.

Intense in liis feel ings and actions, Ins personality a as pronounced and courageous. He was rmR of the foremost leaders of the ereen- back party in this count, aud in poli tics as in other things there was no possibility of mistaking his position. He "tois araan of rugged force and profound convictions, staunch in his friendships bitter in his enmities, but meaning to do harm to no one. The last four months of his life were spent at Los Angeles, and in that vicinity, hi the hope that the salubrious climate would benefit his health; but growing worse he started home, only to die before reaching it, among strangers, denied the love and sympathy of family and friends. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss, newas buried on Monday with Masonic honors.

His soul has pierced the veil ol mystery and n6w sees not "through a glass darkly, but face to face." SPRING IS HERE This is not a poem on Spring, but an announcement of the opening of Sewell's Immense Stock of Carpets, Mattings, Paper Hangings and Decorations, Shades, Lamijreq i Poles, A very large and complete stock, embracing all grades of goods in wonderful variety, at LOWEST LIVING PRICES. You can buy of Sewell as low as in the East, and have as large a stock from which to select. All goods guaranteed as represented. City election next Monday, the 7th. The meeting of the fire department last Friday evening was adjourned until Friday evening, April 11, and a committee of two from each of the three companies was appointed to confer together and report a line of action at that time.

The fire companies entertain no ill-will toward each other, and it is probable that the present difficulty will be amicably settled, and the white winged angel of peace will hover again above a united, harmonious department. So" may it be. The Council Grove liepullican has this to say of the Topeka, Salina Western road: "The skies are clearing and brightening with the breath of the spring time. Every township on the line in Wabaunsee county has voted the aid asked for by a triumphant majority in the face of determined opposition. We think if we could have had two more such papers as the Alma News to oppose the bonds, the vote would have been unanimous.

Shawnee county will give a good account of herself next; and in a few brief months the steam horse Avill be snorting all along the line." Dickinson county will soon have the best mail service, all things considered, of any county in the State. Anew route has just been perfected, and on the first of July the following new oili-ces will be opened: Seaton, J. C. Sea-ton, postmaster; Green Lawn, D. S.

Van Dwyn, postmaster; Holland, Thos. McConnell, postmaster. Thisroutewill run from Abilene to Carlton three times per week through Garfield and Wheatland townships. These townships, which have heretofore been without mail facilities, will appreciate this move on the part of the department. At Industry, last Sunday our correspondent, a sad calamity took place at the residence of B.

II. McCosh, his wife dying in childbirth. She leaves 12 children to mourn their loss. The greatest sympathy is expressed by the many friends of the family for the bereaved husband and children. Mrs.

McCosh was a kind and loving mother, a good and affectionate wife, a consid-i erate and generous neighbor, and a true friend. The funeral obsequies took place Tuesday, and the mortal remains were followed by a large concourse of soi rowing friends to their last resting place in Cheever cemetery.

Wonder who the fine looking blonde is? The Minneapolis Current says: -There's no truth in the report that Mrs. Virtue was married to the line looking blonde, hailing from Abilene. Rather strange that this report should have got out. "We must not think because they were out pleasure riding that they were married. Pleasure seeking is very common to young people, you know." Tiie North Kansas Conference of the M.

C. Sloan gave a musical sociable at her residence to Miss Mary Howe, who will soon take her departure for Abilene, Kansas. It was a very pleasant affair indeed, and every one present seemed to enjoy themselves very much.

II. Faulkner, Mrs. Harriet 13. Bearce, wife of Mr. Z.

S. Bearce. of Turner. Maine, aged 02 years. Mr.

and Mrs. Bearce arrived in" Abilene last September to spend the winter with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner, expecting to return to their New England home about April 1st. Mi's.

Bearce had been in feeble health for a number of years, and it was hoped by her family that a change of climate might be beneficial to her, but it proved to be otherwise and after an illness of a few weeks she was gently and gradually overcome by "the sleep that knows no waking." There are left her husband, two sons and a daughter who feel that in the death of this patient, loving, gentle wife and mother, they have lost their dearest earthly friend. The remains, accompanied by her husband and son Frank, were taken to Turner, Maine, where burial services will be held in the Baptist church, the church of which she was a member and Which she for years adorned by her christian character and up-right life. Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praiseth her." 31. I. H.

James Morrison, the young man who had his foot crushed by a freight car last week, submitted to a surgical operation on Sunday morning. Drs. King and Herbst were the acting physicians. The entire foot, with the exception of the heel, was taken off, the patient being under the inlluence of ether during the painful operation. The accident, a result of carelessness, is a severe one and should be a warning to others to not play around the railroad.

Young Morrison, well behaved and well liked, will be a cripple for life. County clerk Waring received two very handsome and valuable silk banners from his brother in Tokio, Japan, last Wednesday. The design of the larger is very beautiful and suggestive. The American eagle, with a spray of shamrock in his talons, hovel's above the American and Irish Hags. Between the two Hags is a circular sea, on which is seen a U.

S. man-of-war. The smaller banner is a very handsome design of the British coat of arms. The work is exquisitely done, and Mr. Waring possesses two valuable souvenirs of a far-off land.

The proprietors of the City Mills have always tried to accommodate and please the farmers of Dickinson and adjoining counnties, and judging from the amount of Work they are doing for the farmers the old City Mills are appreciated by the public. The main reason of all this is, they try to please ever' one who gives them a call, by grinding the farmer's wheat and giving him Hour from his own wheat, in the old way; or, if he cannot wait to have his grist ground, he can have it exchanged for equally as good Hour as can be made from his wheat. In fact, the mill should be named the Farmers' Mill, as they seem to control it by having their work done in it, as they say, to their satisfaction. And it is to the fanners' interest to keep up the good "old stand-by," by bringing their grain to the City Mills to have it ground.
