tr.ce up the continuous story Of Saline

consulting the records, and AFTER hav.

abled to furnish our readers with the
names Of the peFsons chosen ct the

T. Il. Bullene, L. A. Allen and w.
II. Miller go to Salina, Kas., this eve
ming i'm the interest of the Kansas
Railway company. There have been
several rather damaging reports circu-
lated regarding the road, but these
gentlemen will satisfy the people that
they mean business, and show them
what they have to ofier.-Kdnsas Otv
Journal, Jan. Esd.
These gentlemen were In town last
Monday and interviewed number o I
our citizens. We believe there has never
been a question among our citizens -
to the ability of Col. Coates, Mr.. Bull
lene and other business men Of Kan
sas city, to build the proposed Kan
sas Railway, or any other railroad.
They are gentlemen of wealth and can
command any amount Of capital nee
essary for carrying out any railroad
enterprise. The only question which
has been raised here Is whether these
gentlemen were i'm earnest about put
ting this road through, or whether tbs
road was amply talked Of - . scheme
to head OF the Topeka, Salina 4 Wes-
tern. We noticed With pleasure last
Monday that the partisans Of the two
projects met inn most friendly and COZ.
dial manner and discussed the claims
and financial backing Of the two lines,
without engendering any bed feeling.
The Kansas City men returned to thslR
homes well pleased with their visit 10

A new hand at the Opera House
furnace caused quite a commotion yes
terday noon. He so turned the draughts
that smoke filed the furnaces air
chambers, and the whole building
thus became ''alive" with smoke. The
fire bells clang aroused the multitude,
fire department and all, and throngs
wendell their slippery way toward the
supposed scene of action-in fact there
was action among the jewellers in the
Opera House block. That the alarm
was false was soon made apparent.
