The Color Guard.

II il safe to say that no play las
ever given SO much satisfaction to the
citizens Of Salina "a the Color Guard.
But words Of commentator come
from every source. To those who wore
the blue, this. thrilling play brought up
q thousand pleasanta as well as sad menu
cries of soldier life in the southland,
and perhaps revived many an incl
dent of the march, the bivouac and
the skirmish, which had almost been
forgotten. From the flag presentation
to the return Of the troops there was
q succession of life-like incidents
which absorbed ones attention conf
pletely. As the troops passed and re-
passed. with the measured tread Of
Cromwell's battaliOns, the eyes
Of old soldiers in the audience grew
brighter and there was the enthu-
siasm visible which is born only of the
''magic elbow touch" IL was three
hours dream Of the WARMTH its
memories sad and pleasant The inn
pressive oath of the refugees, Louis
Ludlow's discovery of the dead broth
er, Tony's devotion, the camp songs
all created a deep sensation among the
auditors. The tableaux alone were
worth going many miles to see. They
were perfect i'm every respect.
Thoughts Of home" and the tableauX.
SOLDIERS Home, affected the au-
dience profoundly. But it is hardly
allowable TO discriminate, for all the
tableaux were beautiful. p. q. Bond,
skilled i'm the ways Of a green Teuton,
and r. L. BOnd-a "wild Irishman''-
brought out great rounds of applause.
To nearly all the players we could
say well and nobly done"
Now that our "hOnle talent" has sue

will favor our city with many other

The Petition Of the Fire Company.

We mentioned last week that the
members Of the Hook and Ladder
company had concluded to disband
unless the City Government would
agree to compensate them i'm some
measure for their time and trouble.
Under law enacted by the last Leg
islature they are now deprived Of the
500 exemption from taxes and Of the
poll tax exemption. They are COM
PEELED to spend money to keep up their
organization and buy uniforms. Feel
ing that they were bearing too many
burdens simply rs a matter Of accom-
mediation to the city at large, they made
an application TO the council for relief
Their petition was accepted, and the
City Fire Committee was requested to
consult with the Hook and Ladder
boys, and see what could be done.
Thecommittee has consulted, and after
considerable deliberatiOn have con-
cluded to recommend To the council
that the number of members of the
company be reduced to %, and that
each member be allowed compensa-
ton of SIS per year; that the city will
keep up the uniforms and the necessa-
~ expenses Of the company that the
first quarters. salary Of the members
shall be devoted TO the purchase of uni
forms. 1t is certain that the city can
not dispense with the services of the
fire company, and ii is also certain
that their services cannot be procured
without some sort of compensation.
