he came to a realizing sense Of the
situation he discovered that his
pOcket-bOOk containing about so
had disappeared from his pocket,

The man or woman who patron
lies the pOstOflice, and who in the
midst Of the jOstling crowd gets the
benefit Of all the gases aud overpow-
ering efiluvium" which arises, has
only contempt for the government
which has so large a surplus and
will not permit its use in providing
suitable quarters for the transaction
Of its business in town Of the size
Of Salina.

Joseph, Mo, yesterday, stopped at
the Paific Hotel-of which the
National Hotel Of Salina Is an exact
reproduction. The Pacific is st.

Mrs. r. A. Loyitt received a tele-
gram from LeavenwOrth Saturday
afternoon, announcing the death of
her father, DIR. =. a. Marshall. Mrs.
Levitt went on yesterday moons
train to LeavenwOrth. The death |
WAS very sudden. Friday afternoon |
he complained Of pain in the stom-
ach and died at 30 Saturday after
noon. He was born in Boston in
ISIS. He has resided in Leaven-
worth for thirty-twO years, and the
Times speaks Of him in the most
complimentary terms as a public
spirited citizen. He leaves behind
him four SONS and five daughters.
Mrs. Laura st. John, of Salina,
was in the city last evening, the guest
Of Mrs. Emmett. The Colonel took /
pains to show her over the city: she
was greatly surprised AT what slit
saw and said this was a much better
city, both In size aud beauty, than
Standardization Republican.
Oh, come now, you want to cheese
that racket, for IL won't go down.
You have a nice little town Of q, 800
people, but when you come to a city
like Salina, which has 10000 pOpula-
tion, you entirely miss the mark.
Salina is known far and wide for
her beauty and enterprise. More
than that, the lady didn't make any
such comparison; all Salina citizens
are intensely loyal and never make
odious remarks to the disadvantage
Of their home.
The travelling men at their weekly
Saturday night discouraged
the one-and one-third rate for the
round trip TO the T. p. A. annual
meeting at Salina, May Is and 10,
saying Il offered no inducement
whatever. Under this rate they
would be compelled to return To the
place from which they started 10
take advantage Of Il, and three out
Of four Of them would want 10 90 on
10 another town in the prosecution
NJ their duties. Thousand-m.le
tickets offer equally as good rates,
and then the holder Of the ticket is
at liberty TO go in which direction
he chooses. There would have to be a
of one hundred tickets for
he rate. The travelling men advised
hat no attention be paid TO the
by the board Of trade.
