At the meeting of the council Of
the English Lutheran church on last
Monday evening, Rev. & w. Mag
CART rendered his resignation and it
was at once accepted according to
the wish of the pastor. The rela-
tions between Mr.. Maggart and his
charge have been OF the most affec-
tionate kind and IL Is with sincere
regret that they part at this time.
Mr.. Maggart leaves soon after the
first of April for San Diego, Calf /,
where he takes up mission work I'M
der the auspices of the church board.
Not only will the parish over which
he has presided SO pleasantly and
profitably regret his departure, but
the entire community will be 10th to
part with him. The JOURNAL feels
a special sorrow at parting with him,
as he is Young, vigorous, fearless and
aggressive in his work, and that Is
what we like to see in a pastor.

Permanent Market Day.

Abilene has inaugurated series of
special days known rs permanent
market days when Dickinson county
p. ople may go to the capital with
live stock and other things they may
have to sell. The special days set
apart for this purpose brings buyers
to the place and thus both buyer and
seller are accommodated. This
scheme is feature Of a large num-
Der of live trade centers all over the
country and they should be establish
ed in every county seat In the coun-
try.
The JOURNAL as a newspaper and
the editor as q member of the city
council have often advocated setting
apart a market place, sud the es-
Establishment Of permanent market
days Now that our enterprising
Dickinson county neighbor has
taken the initiative in this matter 1t
behooves us to take up the work, or
be set down as slow, and too conser-
vstive. In Abilene Salina has ever
had worthy rival, shall we allow
her to take the lead i'm matters Of
trade? We leave 1t for our mer-
chants, commercial club, and city
councilmen to decide.
That permanent market place Is
necessary adjunct to the trade in
terests OF Salina goes without say
ing. There are plenty of vacant
places IN the city that could be used
to good advantage for such q pur-
pose. Take for instance the vacant
place a short distance north of the
JOURNALS new home. 1t could be
cleaned off at q small expense, and
then instead Of having the hay
wagons and other loads Of produce
cumber up the streets they should be
compelled to use the market place.
Other sites could be found nearer the
the center Of the city. One on Fifth
street and another on Seventh street
between Ash street aud Irol avenue
would be very desirable places.
There are two things that lie very
close TO the JOURNALS heart, one is
the Improvement OF our roads lead
ing out Of the city and the other Is
the Improvement Of trade facilities
in this city for Saline county farm
ers. We shall be glad to receive
suggestions and communications on
these subjects In our columns.

Old Settlers here will remember
that away back in the dim and musty
vista Of the past congress passed a
bill authorizing the construction of a
public building in Ss'ina. Later on,
several years having elapsed, the
government acquired by purchase
the building site on which stands the
Metropolitan hotel. Now an order
comes from Washington for the re-
moval of the building SO that the
government can have a clear spot
of ground on which to erect its
building. Ii everything progresses
as promptly as things have in the
the past our great grand children
may live to see the corner stone OF
the building laid.
