MUSICAL TREAT.-On last Wednesday
evening our citizens had the pleasure of
listening to Messrs. Chas. Hines and j. II.
st. Lawrence, the blind musicians. 1t was
undoubtedly the best entertainment for the
money that we ever attended. Mr.. Hines
handles the violin in manner that is truly
wonderful, His selections were good, and
his limitations perfect. Mr.. ST. Lawrence
brought down the house with comic songs
and recitations. Taken all in all, it was as
good an entertainment of the kind as has
been our our fortune to listen to for some
time. They go from hsre to Oregon City,
and thence up the east side to. Roseburg.

THE BONANZA MINEs.-It is an open
secret that unless new discoveries of ore are
made in these mines that their working will
have to be abandoned, and then the question
arises whether more money has been taken
from them than has been put in. But no
such question of comparative benefits can
arise in connection with the Oregon Kidney
Tea, for every dollar put into that has pro-
duced Thousand dollars worth of good to
the victims of backache and kidney troubles
as their unanimous testimony viii show.

A LF-CoNFEssED THIEF-Last Tuesday
an old gentleman named George Fl. Kinser,
who recentle arrived from the east, was
robbed of Sl95. 90 in gold coin. Since his
arrival here Kinser had been stopping at
the Richmond House. On Monday night
Kinser occupied room at the hotel jointly
with young man named Frank G. Pearce,
who was in the employ of the westslde
railroad company in the capacity OF mail
weigher From all the circumstances sus-
picion was at once directed to Pearce. Chief
Lappeus was notified by the theft by the
proprietor of the Richmond House, and that
officer began to track up the matter. The
case was turned over to Detective Joe Day.
When Pearce came down from Corvallis on
Wednesday he was interviewed by Mr..
Fellows, the proprietor OF the hotel. He
betrayed great nervousness when spoken to
about the theft, ond denied all knowledge of
the matter. Although convinced of Pearce s
guilt, Chief Lappeus did not arrest him, for
the reason that there was no tangible evil
dence against him. There were several cir
cumstances against Pearce, but still there
was nothing which would warrant his ar
rest. While the officers were waiting and
watching for some clue Mr. Fellows received
dispatch ON Friday from D. H. Thacker
of Corvallis, a friend Of mis-, who by some
means learned of the robbery. The tele-
gram was to the effect that Pearce had de-
posted with him the sum of $50. On re-
ceiving this dispatch, Mr.. Fellows notified
Chief LappeusUf the fact. A warrant was
issued at once and given to Detective Day.
who. on the arrival of the westside train
Friday afternoon, arrested Pearce and con-
veyed him to the city Jail where he is at
present On being arrested Pearce confessed
his guilt, and gave all the circumstances of
the crime He seems very penitent and
states that it is his first wrong act. Ore.
gonian, of Monday.
Frank G. Pearce, the young man referred
to in the above extract, had been boarding
at the New England House in this city from
October Doth until the time of his arrest,
and occupied room jointly with Mr.. F. P.
Lane and d. Fl. Thacker. The evening
prior to his arrest Pierce related to Mr.
Thacker the particulars concerning the theft
which had been committed in the Richmond
House, and stated that he was strongly sus-
picioned as being the guilty party. In the
course of his conversation he stated that on
Tuesday he received $3.50 from his father.
who resided in the East, and as the money
stolen in Portland, he thought it would look
rather suspicious to have it found on his
person, and told Mr.. Thacker that if he
would take care of it for him for eight or
ten days, his remuneration. therefor would
be 500. Thereupon Mr.. Thacker took the
$3.50 and promised to comply with Pearce s
request, and the next day telegraphed 20 the
proprietor of the Richmond House in Port
land the facts in the case, with the result as
above stated. Pearce is man of about
twenty y-seven years of age, of prepossessing
appearance, good conversationalist, and
very agreeable in company. He now lies in
the Portland jail awaiting sentence.

A destructive cyclone visited south
eastern Kansas last Friday night.
1t appearep rs a funnel-shaped cloud
bounding along over the prairie.
Wherever it struck the ground it tore
up the earth and demolished all build
ings in its way. Near Girard house
was completely demolished, and one
inmate killed and two others badly
injured. Several other houses were
destroyed there. At Ottawa a num-
Der of buildings were destroyed, and
many persons injured. Lumber and
furniture were scattered for blocks
around, and i'm some cases horses, cat
tie, wagons, and even persons were
hurled promiscuously through the air.
a train of ears on the Lawrence and
Southern Railroad was lifted from its
trucks, and several passengers We're
badly injured. Hail-stones fell i'm
great numbers, measuring six inches
in circumference. The appearance of
the cloud is pronounced to have been
fearful in the extreme, and the noise
made by the tornado struck terror to
the hearts of all observers. So many
lives have been destroyed by these
storms that an officer of the Signal
Service has been sent from Washing
ton 10 make observations through the
season.

CERTAIN people have lately tried to
misrepresent our position.upon the Ju'
dicial question which is being sofne'
what discussed. Solar there are only
two candidates for Judge is this Judi1.
ial District, and both are residents oi
Saline county. We are personally
friendly with both candidates. Both
are stalwart Republicans. Both are
gentlemen ofunimpeachable character.
Each is fully qualified to fill honor
ably and creditably the place he aspires
to. Should either one be chosen, the
people of the district can rest assured
that even-handed justice will reign in
the courts and that the judicial ermine
will not he soiled In any respect.
When two persSns,-equaal0~scompe-
tent, eq~aiay honest, and :equally de-
sirso1e las are Judge Prescott and T. F.
Carver, Esq become candidates for
the same Office, our readers could
hardly expect of us to express q prefer
ence. We shall heartily support the
nominee of the Judicial Convention.
1t is the understanding, we believe,
that these gentlemen will submit
their claims to the convention, and
abide by its decision.

ton or not, and especially for the inn
portant position of a Judge upon the
bench; this should be leu to others.

with reference to the coming election
for Judge in this district, until, in my

my knowledge from people Of all pro-
fessiOns, all classes, all political parties

me both in person and by represents

now within the last few days there
have been presented to me petitions
signed largely by members Of the bar

A Reply.

We are highly indebted to our neigh.
bor across the street for his cOmpIi
mentary comments upon our article In
the last issue, on the Judge question
Pleased as We are with his remarks We
can not, however, neglect to make q
few corrections, so As to throw some
light on the matter.
May the Salina Netrs then bear in
mind that We never made the assertion
that Judge Prescott belongs to q polit-
ical ring. II the said ring chooses tO
support him, i'm order, perhaps, to nc.
cOmplish its own ends-that is quite
another thing Not word was utter
ed against Mr.. Prescott BY US, but rath-
er in his behalf We only aimed at the
ring, and If wedid not hit tive must
be badly mistaken about the meaning
in the NeUs remarks. Whom the BOZ
ftieians four years ago happened to
support. does not bother us much, but.
If we mistake not, the conyentiOn i'm,
structed for Mr.. Prescott, ho also was
elected. Mr.. johnson seems to hold
very high opinions about the editor of
the Scenskd HdrOiden and its proprie-
tors With wonderful cheek, which
may be very natural to him, he init
mates, and tries to make his followers
believe, that "the article was brought
into that Office and its insertion paid
for" Here We find two insults which
may fall heavily back on Mr.. johnson
himself. First, that the editor of the
Ssenskd Hdrotden Ii 80 extremely ig-
norant that he IL not capable Of writ

THE description of the recent State
Convention held at Topeka given in
the Kansas City Times was not only
intensely interesting butvery amusing.
The personnel of some Of the prOmi-
nent actors in that body is given in
good style. The correspondent thinks
that the physique of the Kansas poll
tician is peculiar that he is either so
corpulent as TO be unabletO tie his own
shoes, or too thin to cast a respectable
shadow that the happy mean-the
Apollo-man, does not exist in the
