manifested ON the part Of the officers
whose duty il is made to work up
prosecutions against the violators Of

same service in all public measures.
Nearly all the business men Of the city
belong to the association, and II is the

from year to year. The association
has q finely furnished hall, pays the

The entertainment given by the Big
Minstrel troupe, last Friday night,
Is pronounced the best minstrel per-
fOrmance which has ever been given
In Salina. The audience was good
sized, and aPpreciative-if we are to
judge from the roars of laughter and
rounds of applause which greeted the
performers at every step Of the pro-
gramme. The singing was Arst-class,
the jokes were original, the programme
sufficiently varied. The orchestra
music was very 6ne. Major Burk, In
his marvellous nusket feats, delighted
the spectators. The ventriloquist, in
his s-voice act, surprised all. The
tricks Of the Big AZ far exceeded
expectations. II the troupe had given
q second entertainment, the Opera
House would not have contained The

ond visit here they will be insured

The Fsrmers' Elevator narrowly es-
capped destruction by dire last Saturday
night. The alarm was sounded ut
about IL o'clock. The fire company
responded promptly and large crowd
Of people collected. The flames were
extinguished principally by the
''smothering process" and by whip
ping them out with old clothes. The
water supply was not convenient. 1t
was found that ball Of rags, saturated
with coal oil, had been placed In the
middle outside unloading bin. Fortu-
nately the bin was partially filed with
wheat, and this prevented the fire from
communicating with the elevator legs
and thus setting the whole structure
on fire. As it was the wood work Of
the bin was badly damaged. Ofcoune,
from appearances, this was the work

two miles above town, had her ankle
fractured, and her daughter, Mrs.

the wagon upset and occupants scat

result as above stated. The wagon
