The following is taken from the Kansas City
Journal Of Las; saturday:

The chorus concert BY the Salina Harmonic
Society. under the direction OF Prof. Leslie,
came OIL at the Opera House last Thursday
!. evening. The hall was well filled Although
the programme WAS long ami the air oppsess-
i've, the audience was attentive. and seemed
very much pleased. We surely have large
amount of musical talent In Saiina, which,
when properly cultivated, must place the
town in the front rank OF musical cities -
There were voices upon the stage last Thurs
day evening OF which Salina may well b.
proud. These musical conventions, when
properly conducted, tend to promote the cul-
be the last OF them.
Complaint IL made that irresponsible au.
thOrities 90 over To the Park and persist in
killing the birds and squirrels which frequent
that region. The Park is one OF Salinas chief
ornaments, Of which al, our citizens Justly
feel proud. One OF its attractions is the
amount Of natural beauty which predominatcs
there. and tribes OF Its native inhabitants-
snch as squirrels and birds still dwell there.
In the eyes Of all except natural vandals, :"
these help 10 make the Park more inviting to
strOilers and promenaders. Now the city ALL
thOrities should severely punish those who are
found killing any OF the game therein. To all
intents and purposes Mr.. Gels has opened this
Park to the public, and it Is really In the ma
tnre of city park. We hope that such police
regulations concerning it will be established
that the last bird or squirrel has been sho,
within its limits.
One OF our Salina citizens was at Gilt on
during the tornado which did so much damage
there last Friday morning. lie heard the
racket OF the coming storm. All others in the
hotel had gone to the cellar regions. lie pro-
posed to do likewise. provided he could obtain
sufficient clothing. AS he stood there, there
was but one garment between the world and
nakedness. lie soon Invested himself OF that, |
for the purpose Of putting on his daily cloth
ing. Ii was at that moment that the tornado |
came with full force and effect. Trembling In |
every limp, he stood something like Dido with
willOwnin hand, saying Now lay me down |
to sleep, "etc. He saw the roofs go down, and |
night Of awfulness without. lie thought the |
world was passing away. lie didn't like the
idea OF being marshalled into eternity IN the
kind Of uniform he wore. but he was not in
possession Of more suitable:One at the time.
So he stood the storm as best he could, safely
riding the gale, but without stitch Of can
vass. And thus We leave him..
