OF these very necessary machines.

Prof. Allen" IA pcripttetIc pedestrian from
somewhere down cast. who tried to get up a
few walking expeditions in Salina for money,
Il few months since. He has turned up at
Salt Lake and has managed 10 walk one hun
dred miles in less than % hours. The Salt
Lake Herald says OF the feat rs follows: IAN
the circumstances being considered. this may
be rated as notable feat in pctlesirianism. ID.
o Leary has the best record as ,walkist, and
his greatest feat was 100 miles in Is hours. %
minutes and 40 seconds. for which perform
ance he underwent a thorough course OF
training. and had all the advantages of a large
rink. the most approved habilmcnts, proper
food and stmulants, and skilled attendants,
while Allen accomplished the same distance In
- hours and % minutes, without previous
training. in an announcement hall, insufficient
slimulants. and none OF the favorable applian-
ces." Aliens friend "Wilder'' will have TO
admit that lie" chinned''a distinguished charac
ont of town must own that he very harshly
usused a rising celebrity.
The Cincinnati Price Current, i'm its 9th all
ntial exhibit of Pork Packing in the Vest"
shows that Salina packed three hundred hogs
in 1876. Only for the past two or three
years has there been any attempt ut this bust
ness in Salna. Centrally located as the town
is, we do no, see why the business cannot be
vastly increased here. Farmers for hundred
miles in every direction will naturally bring
their hogs to Salina, provided there is sufficient
demand for them. ODER, Bond & WIisUn en-
gagged IN this business pretty heavily last
year, and we understand they have made mon
ey at it. They shipped hams and shoulders
west and found market for them without
any trouble. Not near so sany farmers in
this section of the country are raising hogs as
as in other districts OF Kansas, where more
attention is paid to raising corn; sill even in
this wheat producing country, there are many
who would engage in the business who are
not in it now. were they insured that Salina
would pay the top Kansas prices. Ii has
been pretty well demonstrated that the best
way 10 dispose OF our corn l. 10 put lI INTO the
hog. and farmers will soon raise more corn and |
more hogs.

The case of the State of Kansas vs.. VI. ID. 1
Mccormick has occupied the attention of the /
cour. at Russell for the past week or so. A
number of witnesses were subpGnaed from /
SaIins. and on that subpoena we found our
own name. We found the town full OF court
iers, :" and it resembled not a listle the capitol
city during senatorial election. Most OF the
prominent men of western Kansas were there,
and as consequence considerable political
talk was going on all the while. Russell is
very handsome place, nicely located, well built.
and settled by very intelligent class of people.
A cream colored stone is found in extensive
quarries near town, and Of that stone several
elegant buildings are erected. One block OF
these buildings very much resembles a row OF
- Milwaukee bricks The stone when taken
from the quarries are made into good sized
bricks By n common saw. Ifsnch stone could be
found near Saiua, her happiness would be
most complete. We found at Russell some old
