Don't want Il.
A move Is being made to move the
Abilene Gazette to this place, to
consolidate with the Herald, aud
continue the publication of Demo-
cratic morning paper. Salina has
wanted a morning paper bad, and
still wants it; but il don't want
paper that is on the verge Of bank
ruptcy at Abilene, and is to raise
contributions enough in Salina to
temporarily revive its waning for
tunes. 1t is only a question of a
few months before it will go entire
ly to pieces, and let its death take
place In Abilene-nOt here. There
is = law against sending pauPers
from one county to another, and we
don't want an Abilene pauper
thrown upon US.

has become associated with
wealthy gentleman Of San Francis
co in an enterprise which he IL
pretty certain will also make him a
very wealthy man, and'that in a very
short space Of time. We hope that
all his expectations may be fully
realized.

We regretted to hear Monday
morning that $. p. Donmyer, the
well-knOwn grain man and mer-
chant Of New Cambria, had been
