On Thursday evening, about half
past six OF seven o'clock bright
light fitted across the sky, which
was at the time developed in clonds.
We were at q loss to account for
the phenomenon at the time, as 1t
was out of season for lightning.
Since then, however, all has been
made plain-it was the smile OF
Heaven upon the nuptials Of Miss
Ida Williamson and Judge William
f. Musser, who presides over the
police court of this city. The friends
of the couple have been looking for
ward for some time to the event
which took place on Thursday eve-
ming, and all join in congratulations.
This union may be considered rs q
link that binds together the law and
the press. In the days Of her maid
hood Mrs. Musser was Of that craft
honored above all others-the print
er's. IL we were asked to respond to
q toast Of our own choosing 1t would
be, 1.-THE Printer Girl" God bless
her; she deserves the very best there
| is In the world. And now while she
has chosen the higher station OF a
wife, we who remain toiling day
after day at the case, will hold her
| in remembrance as an honorary
member still, and wish her JOY to
| the end OF her days.

saline Cesasy sugar Bssss are Equal to
the Emerxeuey.

Mr.. Ed. Lott of this city deserves
much credit for the interest he has
shown in the beet sugar industry.
As he gave out the government
seed last Spring he requested sam
pies to be brought him Of the beets
produced, aud In due time he for
warded the same to the department
of agriculture, In Washington, for
analysis. The following 10 the Of
fetal report on q few Of the samples
sent:
Isaac Zerbe-Average weight OF
beets, 81 ounces; per cent. Of sugar
in juice, 8.
L. werry-Average weight, 80
ounces; per cent. Of sugar in juice
lis.
Carlin Bros.-Average weight, 80
ounces; per cent. Of sugar In juice.
Ills.
Mr.. Hoffman-Aversge weight, Is
ounces; per cent. Of sugar in juice,
12.5.
Mr.. Heshett-Average weight, 30
ounces; per cent. Of sugar In juice,
12.s.
Mr.. Burkholder-Avers weight,
20 ounces; per cent. Of sugar In juice,
1895.
Aug Misunderstanding weight,
20 ounces; per cent. Of sugar In juice,
1885.
They run from So to Is a5, per
cent, which Is considered remark
able, owing to the lack OF knowledge
in their cultivation by the gentle
men who tried the experiment. In
the old country, where the cultiva-
ton is brought right down to per-
lection, the yield runs from Is to p
per cent. 1t is asserted by those
who are supposed to know, that
with the same care In cultivation,
we can reach q higher average here
than has been attained ih Germany.
But the experiment has been a sue
cess, and now il the proper efforts
are put forth, thickly settled COM
can thrive here, and land
that Is now hard to sell at low
figures, will be in demaud at double
the present price. Let us by all
means push the sugar industry, for
1t means wealth and prosperity for
all

s.surdny's Sensation


Everybody In the city was shocked
last Saturday to notice In the back
part Of Mr.. Thomas Anderson's
spring wagon, as he drove into town,
two beer kegs, commonly called
Fights. Now up to this date. Mr..
Anderson had always borne the
reputation Of being a conscientious
prohibitionists, and this unexpected
sight caused no little comment. Or
course Mr.. Anderson Is In politics,
and only this year was chairman OF
the Republican county convention,
but rs election was over 1t was not
thought to have any political signih-
canoe. But on he drove, utterly un-
conscious, or apparently so, OF the
comment his action was causing
among former warm supporters and
personal friends, but when he turn
cd In on Seventh street and stopped
| in front of the JOURNAL Office, de-
liberately unloading both Of them
right at our door, curiosity was
reused to the utmost, aud the crowd
demanded an explanation. In vain
did we try to explain that it was
| cider, made from Kansas apples,
and intended only for medicinal
purposes. They were not to be put
off 30 easily. Finally, however,
owing tn the upimpeachable charac.
ter Of our friend, Mr.. Anderson, the
kcurious were satisfied, but disap-
pointed in not tracing up . sensa.
ton, and slowly dispersed. 1t wal
q terrible ordeal for Mr.. Anderson
to be subject to In this day OF sus'
poets, but we hereby return thanks
to him for his meritorions conduct
and cider, and will do all we can tt
counterfeit any damaging rumori
that his actions last Saturday may
/ have started.

Monday evenings council meeting
was the tamest affair Of the kind We
ever attended. TWAS seemingly with
great difficulty that anybody kept
awake. and aside from the lighting
matter nothing Of importance VA
done out of the line Of the ordinary
run Of business. A long wait for a
quorum occurred early In the eve
ming, and when Q start was finally
made the council acted like . ma
chine that badly needed oiling.
The monthly appropriation ordin-
ance came up from the committee
on claims, and was passed. 1t
amounted to ssl3.s2.
The street and alley committee
reported that they had nothing to
report, and that the Thirteenth
street matter was still under con-
sideration.
The mayor reminded the council
that the U. p. Railway Co., had not
vet built those crossings long suffer-
ing people have been praying for,
10 these many years, on North Santa
Fe. After q grunt all around. Mr..
Carver said he had been Informed
by MIR. LOOMS while In Topeka .
short time since that he (Mr.
Loomis) had been told that the com.
pany intended to put in those cross
ings. History only gives one par
allel to this case and that was early
in war times when q bulletin was
Issued every day to the affect that,
''the government IL about to take
vigorous measures to put down the
rebellion" Every month comes the
promise that the crossings will be
built but the promise never contains
q date, and 1t is always good. Ben
field finally said that the company
should be given one more trail, and
IL they fail to put 1t in the city
should put In the crossings and
charge it up. But will 1t be done?
Then the proposition for new
lighting contract came up. The
reported that they had
with the company and
that they would recommend that
arc lights be substituted
for the present electric and gas sys-
tenn. A vast amount OF "chewing
the rag" was gone through with on
this subject, which amounted to
The whole matter was

lighted shortly after shutdown and
kept burning till q. m. He was
honest enough to own that he felt
q little hoggish about the matter, and
said he wanted to get all he could

After referring a matter Of some
repairs to the committee on fire de-
partment the council adjourned.

Prayer u.,s,.e and Politics.


The Editor Of the JoURNAL:-The
Salina Union lAlliance PaPer) re-
Gently published . scurrilous and
utterly false article headed "Piutus
Prancing. Prayers. Politics Pre-
dominant. Priestcraft," and fitting
ly signed "Impudence," and when
the "Union" was informed Of the
vie and abusive nature Of such
article In . courteous reply, the
pious and reverend 90 editor de-
clined to publish the same on ac-
count of length etc. Evidently Mr..
Pattee IL devoid Of any sense Of
honor or justice, and We kindly SAX
you to insert the rejected note In
order to counterfeit the false impres-
sion made upon the minds Of our
Alliance friends and neighbors, and
the public ut large. The action Of
the " Union" il o disgrace to decent
journalism.
Editor Of Salipa Union:-we the
undersigned were present at the
prayer meeting In the Congregation
al church last Wednesday. and de-
sire to inform your readers that
there IL not q tCord Of truth in the
abusive article that appears in your
last issue over the signature of I'm
pudence;" and, believing that said
article does our Pastor, Rev. w. b.
Mucklow, Mr.. DePriest, and the
church gross injustice, we ask you
to correct the same.
This meeting did not In any man
ner have q political aspect; neither
did tie Pastor nor Mr.. DePriest
make any rousing political speeches;
but they did make rousiDg spiritual
speeches In which they made practi-
cal illustration of the necessity OF
earnest united effort to bring about
. change In the hearts Of men.
Neither did they or any one else
who took part in the meeting say
anything that could be construed as
In the success or defeat OF
any political party; and IL anyone
present took the view expressed by
"Impudence" in your paper we
pity them, and can only compare
them to the Scribes and Pharisees
who were constantly following
Christ when on earth, not that they
might be benefited, but that they
might find fault with him.
We simply ask that you will give
this the same publicity that you
did the article complained Of, so that
your readers may know the truth
and not be nisled by some one, who,
smarting under defeat, construed
practical gospel truths into political
speeches.
