Hshed in another column. the people Of
Liberty township are alive on the ques.
ton Of building bridge at Robinson's
Ford, on the Smoky Hill.
We hear that IN effort Is being made to
locate q grist mill at Robinsoo's Ford, on
the Smoky HUI river. IL Is one Of the
best mill sites in this portion Of the State.
and It was always wonder 10 Us that 1t
has not been made use Of long before this.
II Salina don't secure the college she
will have to build . new school house
soon. The attendance upon the public
school IL so large that the board are
already puzzled to know, "what are you
going to do about it''
The east side OF santa Fe Avenue, be-
tween Iron Avenue and Ash Street, will
present an almost solid front when Grants
stone building Is completed. A halt lot
on each side of Mrs. Hedigan's building
and the space between Johnson's livery
stable and the old Advocate building,
being the only vacancies in the block.
Salina is really to the east Of the center
line of the State about IS miles, and this
point Is certainly as far east as the Synod
can well afford TO locate the college. The
western part OF the State Is filling up very
rapidly and soon the center OF population
will be at this point and the support Of
such an institution will come largely
from the West.

David Beebe discovered smoke in the
room adjoining the Advocate office-Lib-
bey's Photograph Gallery. Calling as
sistance the door was broken open, and
the party found large hole burned In the

which had been used as spittoon. The
flame was increasing rapidly when it was
extinguished. tits supposed that light

that fire was thus caused.
Two prisoners escaped from Jail last

horse thief, eighteen years old, dark hair,
very long, five feet eight inches tall,
smooth face. WIN. Newman. car robber,
small man, thin face, twenty-nine years
old, dark hair and mustache. The work
was done so quietly and quickly that the
other three prisoners knew nothing Of 1t.
No trace of them has yet been found.
Mr.. W. 2. Thacher opened his hote!

christened his house the metropolitan

That Mr.. Thacher will excel as q hotel
proprietor is absolutely certain. We wish
