The Advocate says the Herald has dis
covered that the JOURNAL charged ''S3 ON
for printing 800 envelopes. and the
county furnished the envelopes" Now II
Dave Beebe will go down to the Court House
he will find that the JOURNAL did no such
thing. We furnished the envelopes and did
the printing-all for $275. Selah
Manager Stacey was not quite so furious last
week as the week before. but continues still TO
call names and disgust the public generally.
The manager tries to create some sympathy
for himself but has not struck the right track
yet lie says that malieic::S report emana-
ted from the JOURNAL Office that he had run
of. This was simply foolish product OF his
Imagination, for no one about the JOURNAL
| Office considered him Of sufficient Importance
to care whether lac had run Off or not. lie
produces nothing worth answering anil hence
We drop him for this week.
Salina Is point where It would well pay
one who understands the business to establish
canning factory. In Colorado tons OF canned
goods are consumed annually, and greater
portion Is shipped from the East. We could
raise the best tomatoes, peas, beans, corn,
peaches. Strawberries, blackberrics, ETC., and
they could be put in cans in this place about as
cheap rs elsewhere. The market Is at our
door for years to come. There is no good
reason why we should sit still and allow the
supply to be made from Cincinnati Baltimore
and other eastern cities.
Anderson & Co.'S circus performed here
last Tuesday. The tent was crowded with
people both at the afternoon and evening per-
formances. Their street parade in the MORN
ing was quite good. The show of the animals
was fair. The performance of the man and
woman upon the trapeze was excellent. The
dog show was cute the riding pretty good !;
the tumbling ordinary. The minstrel per-
Torrance which followed, averaged well. The
show people have certainly no reason to COM
plain of Salina. tor they took great deal Of
money away. This may be called a Kansas
circus, as it usually winters in Topeka.

end this morning, the jury returning verdict

Mr.. j. NJ. Danielson was at work in his field
year old boy. Having occasion to stop his
work for a moment and go to another part OF
the field, he left the little boy In charge Of the
team, seated on the harrow. The little fellow
concluded to take 4 ride and started the team.
Mr.. DanielSOn fastened towards the team as
soon rs he discovered that it was in motion.
Meanwhile the boy had tumbled from his pre-
carious seat, and the machine had passed over
him. The father expected to pick up a
mangled and bruised corpse, but instead OF
this there was only slightly bruised, stunned
and frightened boy. A very lucky escape, in
deed.
The other day little 5-year cid boy was
refused seat in the dOublc-scated carriage OF
his parents, who were about to drive into the
country some ten miles. The little fellow
didn't exactly like the idea Of being deprived
of his ride; hence, before any one entered the
carriage he crawled under the hind sc.:- The
carriage started and was gone several hours on
its trip. In due time the party returned. Tie
mother after arrival missed her hopeful, and
became very much alarmed. No one had seen
him, and the whole neighborhood was searched.
At last, when the most awful fate had been
supposed for him, and two or three affecting
scenes were on the tapis. the little fellow. in
answer to the agonizing accents of his mother;
my son! my son r'-crawied from his hid
ing placc.-cramped though smiling-and
asked: 'What do you wants" That boy
belongs to the House of Gels.
