In Just three months. But prophets
win make mistakes. The JOURNAL

tl,at Of any other English paper pub
lished in saline county. 1t has long
been recognized as by far the best pa
perrin the county. 1t has that repu-
tatioR now and will "preserve II in
tact" tits the official organ Of both
county and city. 1t has the best job
Office Of any newspaper west of To
peka. 1t gives more news and fur
nishes more columns Of reading mat
ter than any other paper published in
the county.
We return thanks to the people Of
Salina and Saline county for the
friendship and favor they have ever
given the JOURNAL, and we hope in
the future to merit continuance Of
the same. We take pride In the JOUR-
NAL and the popularity 1t has estab-

On Wednesday the 26th, Superin-
tendent Odell and Hubbard were in
the city, and were waited on bya COM
mittse consisting of Mayor Stearns,
COuncilmen blanchard, Gardiner,
Marshal Coombs and others in the in
terest of a park. Superintendent
Odell proposed that the r. r. Com
pany would furnish the material and
put fence around the square lying
between the depot and the NJ. f.
church, and paint 1t nicely and would
give us the privilege of selecting as
many trees from the Wilson Park as
we would wish TO plant. They will
furnish free transportation for the
same, and all other trees that We
might want to plant-provided we
would pillow the ground, plant the trees
and keep them i'm growing condition
We consider Mr.. Odell's proposition
very liberal one. He said they intend
ed to help us make II a success, and
made several very appropriate sugges-
tions.

A BIG Success.

"My wife had been ailing q long
time with DYSPEPSIA and nervousness
and wis in bed two years with COM
plication of disorders her physicians
could not cure, when was led by
reading a circular left at my door to
try Parker's Ginger Tonic. Having
been SO often deceived by worthless
mixtures, nothing but my wife's dan
gerous condition could have led us to
make any more experiments. But 1t
was big success. Three bottles cured
her, at cost of dollar and fifty cents,
and she Is now as strong as any wo-
man, and regularly does her household
duties.-R. D., BugalO. See other col
