VIII 10 be RaisedF
At q late meeting in reference to
raising the 5000 required for the
heating apparatus Of the Episcopal
Academy before the building will |
be accepted by the Bishop, 1t was
agreed that the directors of the
school should raise One-half Of the
amount aud the Board Of Trade the
balance. The directors have done /
all they agreed, and more; but there
is considerable yet to be raised w |
the Board. It is necessary that they |
81 ould fulfill their obligations at |
once. The Bishop will arrive to-
day. He will not agree to open the |
school in September unless this |
amount is provided for. There have
been many applications for pupil |
ship in the sehOOl-mOre than can
be accommodated. 1t is the opinion |
Of many leading EpiscOpalians that |
/ this will become one Of the leading |
schools Of the country under the |
auspices Of the Episcopal church, |
and that Salina will be greatly sur
prised at the importance the institu-
tiOa will attain, and the benefits Il |
will bring. II the school cannot be !
/ opened In September, IL will be at |
least year before the opening will |
take place, aud the school and the |
city will thus be the losers. 1t will |
be opened at the time set, IL the |
amount promised for the purpose
named Is raised. Will IL be raised? |
Mr.. r. c. Kear. who has been for |
the past eight years with Messrs.
Crip9en, Lawrence & Co. as general |
examiner of securities, has severed |
his connection with the above firm.
We understand this course was found |
necessary on account Of his personal |
business being Of such nature and |
extent that II was out Of the ques-
ton for him to do justice to his own
business, and at the same time give |
the firms business the attention re-
| quired. We learn that Mr.. Kear in |
tends taking possession Of the rooms |
over the Salina National Bank the |
Let Of October next, and will give |
his exclusive attention to short time |
or chattel mortgage loans.
The Osborne Farmer declares war
against the lister, in the pronunei-
amentO following:
The day Of the lister Is past. The /
corn put in with the lister this /
| spring has not survived the dry |
weather as we'll as that planted i
otherwise, aud Il is very evident /
that by another year this implement |
will be entirely discarded, IL We are
to Judge from the way the farmers
talk at present. This has been an
exceptionally good year, too, to test
the merits of the lister, and Il has
been found wanting.
