A Large Fish.

Mr.. A. NJ. Parkinson, captured in
bis net this morning, off Greenbury
point, the largest sturgeon that has
ever been caught in these waters
It measured IL feet and weighed $40
pounds. It's head was as large as
that of an ordinary cows. It took
two men to get it into the boat after
much difficulty. 1t is said to be com
posed of four different kinds of meat,
and is considered by epicureans a rare
dish when properly prepared. In
order to dress it for market, it is first
skinned, as same as a bullock, and
the head is removed from the body.
II is then halved and quartered, and
retaled by the pound. The meat is
of rich white and yellow cast, and
can be either fried, stewed or baked,
according to taste.

Sir Yesterday at 2.3O we re.
ceived orders to get ready in light
marching order, aud in a few minutes
we proceeded to the Panama Railroad
depot, bound for Panama,as dispatches
announced that some trouble exists

making a total Of so rounds. All the
boys are under arms expecting the
long roll every minute. All the An.
napolis boys are in one company as

Gordon. The town, in fact the whole
Isthmus, presents a martial appear
ance. The marines aud blue jackets
everywhere are armed to the teeth,
and where there are not any of Uncle
Sans boys you will find Colombians
or insurgents. 5.

railroad II mean the T. s. & W. In
looking over the report Of the Seere-
tary of our State Board Of Agriculture
I see that there are several roads that
are being constructed in counties and
localities that afford no comparison to
ours, or la the portion Of the county
thrOuge which the road WAS cOntem-
plated To run. As | look out from my
hume across the beautiful valley Of
the Gypsum, now almost one cOntin-
nous field Of luXuriant corn, and
think of the necessary complement Of
hogs tO consume it, aud the cattle
grazing ON the uplands that stretch
away toward and beyond the sixth
meridian, where the r. =. Il w. Is to

because of the greed of two monster
corporations, nOurished and built up
by the state, that are jealous of this
much needed enterprise, and inter
cept every move made in its behalf,
aud thus defeat the will Of the people
who need and desire the road.
We have been having an abundance
OF rain, hut no severe storms. A resi-
dence in this part Of the country Of
twelve years enables me 60 say that
during that period there has been no
cyclone or storm Of any kind TO in

While other valleys In the county
aud State have been visited with cy-
clones and heavy storms ours has
been most singularly exempt. Though
il cannot be foretOld what may be, we
well know what has been. l am not

storms are not merely incidental or
accidental. / have been informed

Of Henry Ward BeecheT. and also of
the Gladstone resignation and the
Tory element Of politics in England
and the well-timed comparison with
Democracy In this country. speak q

the efforts of the apostle from Mis-

Kansas soil fequires more knowledge

article is indigenous. An editorial IN
the last issue OF his organ reminds
one of the story Of the"speekled axe,
with which he is doubtless familiar.

Water For Oak Dale Park.

This matter has been before the
people of Salina and vicinity for a
long time, but most especially for the
last two years, and yet II is almost
impossible to get a refreshing drink OF
water in that beautiful fair ground.
When there Is any kind Of a gather
ing-from a school picnic 10 Central
Kansas Fair-wateT must he hauled
there in barrels for the people to
drink. This is expensive, incOn-
venient aud annoying; besides many,
at every gathering we have had, have
been known to suffer, especially
children, for the want Of an
abundant supply Of water. We boast
Of having Is good a natural park a.
Bismarck Grove, and no doubt justly
too we read, talk and perhaps some
Of US have enjoyed some Of the gath
erings at Bismarck Grove, and we
can truthfully say that Bismarck is
source Of attraction, enjoyment and
wealth for the city Of Lawrence, and
our Park is fast becoming q source Of
attraction for all Central Kansas.
Central-Oh how we do love that
word Central, when talking or writ
ing about Salina and her prospects,
and well we may, for # we do our
part we have il in our power TO make
SaIina the Central City Of this Great
State, and Oak Dale Park can be
made to play no small part in this inn
portant work.
As already noticed. our park il fast
becoming q source Of attraction To
many Of our neighbOTs, and excur-
sions to our town have become quite
frequent. We have frequently talked
with visitors about our city aud park
the praise Waa uniform and universal
except that annoying question, why
don't you have the water works sup
ply your park with water? ] should
think you would have Il ~ long a.
you can get it with comparatively
speakingl 10 little expense" This
question has been asked Of Us many
times, not only by strangers, but by
our own citizens in Salina and vieini-
ty but rs yet we have been unable TO
give any definite reply, or a valid
reason.
In conclusion we say, let us have
the water works extended into the
park by all means, let rs delay no
longer. II there Is any cause that il
blocking the matter, let that cause
consider well the interest Of all and
get down on the right side and cease
blocking the cause OF enterprise any
longer.
Let ~ have the water works extern
sion in Oak Dale Park.
Yours most respectfully,
TAXPAYER.
