Mr.. EDIToR:-Your suggestion In
regard to . city market is . good one
and ought ct once to be considered
by the city fathers and business men,
1t Is Q necessity and would be Of
great advantage to our city and more
particularly to the farmers Of the
county. Certain days advertised
and known to be market days, would
cause . great many to come to our
city both for selling and buying;
these two classes would be brought
together to the advantage Of both;
every facility given to the farmer to
cell his produce benefits our city as
we'll ~ the seller. The market once
established the farmer would soon
find that bringing their produce here
on market days would save them
much time In selling. Wholesale
houses would spring up and the city
would become the center Of q great
trade, which 10 now distributed over
the county, to the disadvantage Of
both buyer and seller. The times
demand that we should take this
step In progress. II We do not lead
soon some other town will deprive
US of the advantages that grow out
Of this plan. I would suggest that
We have . meeting at an early day In
the city hall, to consider this i'm
portant question and IL found
practicable at once push It to compile

Fair 60 Rossival-Card Of fhsnks.
The Joint committees Of the w. r.
G. and G. A. r. Post have been dere-
lict In making acknowledgements
to citizens Of the city and surround
Ing territory for contributions and
assistance rendered for their fair
and festival held on the u and 18th
Of last month. This neglect has not
been from choice but for other legit-
mate reasons. We will be voted an
amende honorable with q "better
late than never"
The entertainment was most agree
able In all respect and was OF cores
ponding benefit to the two organizes
tons. Supper was given on the first
evening and dinner and supper on
the succeeding day. The enjoyment
embraced splendid music by the
Packard orchestra, general cheer and
and an animated auction sale of
many articles. The receipts amount
ed to near $50, showing net proceeds
Of $40. And let US tell the generous
public who patronized us and con-
tributed literally to the contribu-
tions that this money will be devot-
ed to most worthy purpose, that Of
succoring the needy.
We are not enabled to mention all
who aided US with contributions, but
speak Of . few who contributed In q
more extended way-of course, per-
hitting those Of either organization
to rest content in the proud, con-
seriousness Of having performed but
their duty. First. we will say that
the Dispatch band treated those as
with several OF their magui-
ficent pieces OF music. the first eve
ming. The board Of trustees OF the
Masonic Temple were very kind in
q free offer Of their two
splendid lower rooms In the build
Ing for the fair. H. ID. Lee, Of the
grocery house, threw US
In hundred pound sack Of granu-
lated sugar for scarcely the asking.
Mr.. Vernon, the music dealer gave |
splendid pianos. We were likewise |
favored with some fine presents
rom tine following Salina dealers:
Litowich & Wolsieffer, Rothschild
Bros, and +. w. Ober, general mer-
Mr.. Custer, grocer; Z. |
hardware; w. & NJ. ID. Berg,
urniture. From Shute 4 Haskell,
Vim. Butter and Dedmsn Bros,
butchers, we received fine presents
Il meats.
Again, we thank all. whether men,
toned or not, for their generous acts.
We are most proud Of our fair and
esti val held on the date named.

A Remiuder Of the Past

We this week received several
sample copies Of the Beilefontsine
Daily Examiner, published by Ed.
and Horace Hubbard at Bellefon-
taine. Ohio. The publishers are old
Ohio friends OF G. B. Kirkland, of
the JOURNAL, and we hope their
venture In the daily newspaper bus
mess will be q success, as 1t surely
will be, for both gentlemen are prsc-
tical printers, and very bright intel
lectually. In one Of the papers, we
find reproduced the program Of the
first annual banquet Of 1.-THE Wei
neutrality-suspicious." social orgsni-
cation composed of Bellefontaine
young men, which was given at the
Miltenberger House In Bellefontaine
on Sept. It'll, 1877, In honor Of several
OF the members who were leav-
ing for college, In which we distinct
ly remember Of participating. w.
A. West, eldest ton Of Judge West,
the blind orator, who so eloquently
nominated Blaine at the Chicago
convention in 1884, was master Of
ceremonies. J. w. Steen, the
bright young lawyer who is now To-
Gated at Kineman, Kansas, gave US
a "Parting Admonition." Mr.. Steen
will be remembered as one OF the or
stors who spoke In Selins with Gov.
Robinson during the campaign Of
1890, ut which time he made many
friends here. "Our Departing
Bucks" was responded to by Jas.
Herman, jr., . relative Of the famous
newspaper man Will II. Herman,
who made himself known to the
world as editor Of the Southern
States.
Fifteen years have rolled by since
that little gathering was held, and
the fate Of the 100 young men who
were present on that occasion would
at least be very interesting to the
survivors.

"Under the Ban"

We this week give the first in
stallment Of q story named as above
by Jules Verne. The JOURNAL has
incurred extra expense in order to
give its readers the benefit Of some
first-class standard fiction. This
story is one Of the best Of this great
writer's numerous productions. The
success that attended our first intro
duction Of Mr.. Verne's story is q
sufficient compensation for all the
trouble and expense. The story will
run for six weeks, and be followed
by others.

Sam Harris and Pete Brown made
application for permission and IL
cense to sell their stocks Of clothing
ct auction. After some little discus
sion the matter of both applications
were referred to the Ways and
Means Committee. This was done
probably In accordance with Q petit

wanted the license fee placed at
such . figure ~ to be practically
prohibitory.
The great hack question was taken
up, by the chairman Of the street
and alley committee, who wished
the matter recommitted, because Of
the absence Of the city attorney. 1t
WAS decided, however, to allow
those who desired to make few re-
marks. In accordance with this
privilege, Mr.. J. B. Hutchinson,
Esq, arose and made . speech in
behalf of the hackmen. When he
finished there was not . dry eye In
the house. The other side was pre-
sented by John Wilson, who Is
much handsomer though not nearly
SO eloquent IS Mr.. Hutchinson.
