Judge o. p. Hamilton, Of Salina,
was invited 90 come here aid assist
our speakers in the defense Of the
Kansas and Colorado r. r., to which
invitation the Judge responded by
putting Ia an appearances last Wednes-
day. Arrangements had all been
made for the speaking which was
opened by the Judge on the evening
Of his arrival, In Lacrosse, and
thence over all the territory possible
In six days time The Judge 81 Oke
night and day for six days, and
wherever he spoke, carried cOnvie-
ton. He ably defended the road,
downing all opposition, and to him Is
due the credit for the large majority
with which the bonds were carried.
Never in the history Of Rush county
was there 50 much enthusiasm mani
Tested. The fever seemed contagious
and old and young, men, women and
children caught IL, the fever lasted
until the polls were closed. Every
body wanted a railroad and every body
talked on the subject. It was the
only theme Of conversation for the
week before the election, and our
people are under lasting obligations 20
Judge Hamilton for bis assistance In
this campaign. A full vote was pOlled

much larger vote than at the election
two weeks ago before for county
officers.
In company with Mr.. E. II. Gibbs
we went out the fiFst Of the week to
take a seuint at the new Missouri
Pacific grade. Ascending high points
Of land, a long and seemingly cOntinu-
Gus streak Of black earth was seen
eastward and westward following hill
and vale, until the line became blue
and vanished in the dim distance.
From Clark's rancho eastward, the
grade was said to be shout completed,
ready for the "flnishing touches. {"
West Of Clark's rancho the grade is In
various stages Of construction, accord
ing to the industry Of the contractors.
Some Of them were complaining that
they lacked teams, and that Il was
hard to employ them We noticed
some deep cuts" and "big flls. "
Where the land owners have protest
ed against the construction, Of course
there ls nothing being done ct grad
ing. This was especially noticeable
from west OF Mr.. Chas. Relker's place
20 the river. II Is evident that the
grade Il 20 far along that Il can be
finished entire within three weeks, II
the contractors % desire. And yet
from the river to the east base Of Iron
Mound Il Is still q struggling grade.
It would seem from appearance that
the contractors were working leisure

The LindsbOrg NelOs does not be-
lieve In "U. P.'s new survey" as Is
proven by the following remarks:
The U. P. surveyors came TO town
Wednesday and commenced a survey
from LindsbOrg via Marquette to
Summit Siding, ten miles east Of
Ellsworth on the Union Pacific. The
object OF this survey Is not known.
Our people are inclined 10 think Il Is
a "blind," for the reason that the u.

be more In this than can now be i'm

Sallna is the seventeenth city In
Kansas. As we have Always claimed
she Is the largest city on the y. p.
Railway west Of Topeka and north Of
that road. The population Of Salina
Is 4.OO9. The population Of the cities
assuming 10 be Salinas rivals is as
follows: Clay Center. $3.50; June
ton City, S,555; Abilene. 3,5l6 Con
corJIa, 8.OO2; Belolt, 2,s2S; MePher-
son, $3.50; Minneapolis, l,TS9; Ellis
worth. 1854 Solomon City, l,O62.
Salina has not been blowing around
as some other towns have been about
her population. She has calmly and
patiently waited for the returns Of the
census takers, and for the above
official result Her population has
been increased at least 500 since the
census was taken, and q year from
now Salina may have q population Of
9 800. Goodbye, neighOOs; you
should have "mAde hay" while the
sun Of prosperity sbone. You will
never have another chance 70 come
near Salinas population.

The City Of sallna can and win cast
nearly 1000 votes for the railroad bonds
next Tuesday, provided each citizen
does his part towards getting his
neighbOr out to the polls- Bushes
should be generally suspended on that
day, for the purpose Of allowing the
merchants and their full force Of clerks
the privilege Of working for the bonds
TheJudge Of the District Court should
sdlourn court to allow the lawyers q
