WORK was C mmenced yes erday In
tearing down the old livery barn,
corner Of Santa Fe and Ash, TO make
way for H. s. & ]. TaggRrt's new
block. This building, in some re-
spects, is the "mOst historic" struct-
ure In town. II commenced its dis
tinguished career as the public school
building Of Salina, having been
erected where the present high school
building now stands, In 1867, by B.
NJ. SlmOns, we believe. In those
primitive days when the buildings Of
Salina were decidedly Of the primitive
order, the proud citizen took the visl-
tor 10 view the grandeur Of this
structure, surrounded on all sides by
waving prairie grass, and distant from
the struggling settlements which
were then drifting southwark. five
mistake not Mr.. Thompson was the
first principal Of the school, followed
successfully by Messrs. L. o. Wight,
w. G. Tuthill aud F. NJ. Hamilton.
Il was during Prof HamiltOn's princi-
palship that the new building was
erected, and the old one removed 10
its present lOcatiOn-cOrner Ash and
santa FEE. IL became the property OF
ID. f. DOnegan, who Overhauled the
building, making a livery stable out
Of the lower part and a theatre hall In
the second story. IL was here that
tragedy and the muse reigned supreme
in Salina, until the erection of our
present opera house. Before this,
Gels Hall, now occupied by the
Eberhardt Mattress Co., had done its
duty AZ q public hall. Those who
were instructed in the old school
building have grown to manhood and
wOmanhOOd. One Of the graduates
was Edwin p. Hanna, now private
secretary Of the Secretary Of the In
terior-a gentleman Of finished edu-
cation and superior parts. No doubt
those who once gathered daily in the
old building have e kindly remem-
branee Of the structure, and would
much rather II should be preserved
like the old South Church In Boston,
than yield TO modern push and In
nOvatiOn. One Of the characteristics
Of an American citizen Is that be has
little generation for relics. He looks
upon them as he would upon an old
hat or cast Off coat. The old building
must go down. Its rafters and tim
bers and boards will not be made up
into canes and writing desks as
souvenirs Of q historic past, but will
go into unpretentiOus buildings, of on
hack streets, which will be rented for
$40 per month. We have devoted
some Considerable space to the old
building, but we think the "Old set
tiers" will pardon Us, In consideration
Of the halffOrgOtten Incidents Of the
past which 1t revives. Hence, we say,
farewell old friend. Hoary with age,
and scanned and WTinkled by the
Kansas zephyrs, you are now to dis
appear forever.

To-day, at Minneapolis. citizens Of
Sallna, Ottawa, and Cloud counties
meet for the purpose Of taking steps to
organize a local company for the con-
struetiOn of a railroad from COncOrdia
TO Salina-a distance Of about fifty
miles-thrOugh a most available
stretch Of country for building 3 road,
penetrating a rich agricultural coun-
try and uniting on one line three Of
the best towns In Kansas. Citizens
living on this proposed line have
waited, and have grown weary wait
ing, for some corporation to avail
itself Of this splendid opportunity,
aud now they propose to go to work
aud build Il themselves. After 1t is
built, there surely will not be better
railroad property In Kansas, and
some Of the great corporations viii be
more than willing to take II in. This
will be q most important eHterp prise
for Saline county and she should IA
vor It by all means within her
power.
