Last Monday Mr.. J. w. Rice re-
cevied word from his brother-in-law
w. +. Price, who had been called
to the bedside of his brother Sey-
mour, at their old home In Quincy,
Ills, that Charley Price, their eld-
est brother had just died from ty-
phoid fever. Mr.. and Mrs. Rice
left Immediately for Quincy, and
were present at the funeral yester-
day. Seymour and Charley were in
business at Oklahoma City, o. T..
Seymour was taken sick several
weeks ago with typhoid fever, and
has been very low several times, but
q few days ago was reported as get
ting better. His brother Charley
was acting as nurse, when he fell q
victim to that dreadful disease.
Seymour is still very low, but some
hopes are entertained for his recov-
cry. The surviving members of the
family will feel the loss Of their
brother very keenly, as the strongest
possible affection for each other has
always been noticeable. Those who
were acquainted with Mr.. Chas.
Price here, have only the highest
regard for him, and in his home at
Oklahoma City, he was one the most
prominent in business enterprise.

The fair association held meet
ing last Monday, and decided that
they would fix the dates for this
years fair on September Is, IA, 10,
and 10, thus getting In ahead OF
most of our neighboring county
fairs, and also strike time just be-
tween blowing and seeding.
Miss Carlin and Miss Agin were
appointed as a committee to revise
the fancy work department, and the
entire list will be carefully revised
from beginning to end, and made to
conform with the present Is much
as possible.
A new feature will be added this
year, which il township awards. A
committee was appointed to have
charge of this matter, and they ex-
pect to make this an interesting fea-
ture. II the various townships take
hold Of this as they should, great In
terest can be created, and friendly
rivalry brought about that will be
mutually beneficial.
improvements, such as the remov-
al OF the old stables to the river
bank, and new ones built, the
erection Of q grand stand, and vari-
Gus other needed repairs, are In con-
temptation, and it is very evident
that the present management in
tend to push the 1892 fair as much
as possible. all of which will meet
the approval of the public, as fair
week In Saline county should be
looked forward to as an enjoyable
time, when all citizens may meet
and enjoy themselves after q sum-
mer's hard work, and compare notes
an the successes and failures Of their
neighbors.

In the event Of war with Chill
Salina will be represented. Ed. L.
Miller . petty ofiicer on the Phiis-
delphia, which has been detailed to
camp on the trail Of the Gillian
battle ship, Captain Pratt, 10 already
In active service.
Besides this we have Company B.
4th regiment, X. n. g., under Cap
tain Chas. Hilton and Lieutenant
Colonel Bush. Every man of this
Command lie just spelling for fight,
and hail with Joy this sign Of war In
which they may exhibit their valor.
1t Is not necessary to mention the
old soldiers. Many Of them would
enjoy little fun again, just for the
sake Of diversion, but most OF them
think they have done their share Of
soldering and are willing that their
sons should he their proxies.
We have . school out on the north
edge of town that instills valor into
about go Of the flower Of the state,
and IL IL became q matter Of necessi-
ty these young fellows who make
excellent holiday soldiers would roll
up their panties, rub the shine of
their shoes aud make II mighty
warm for the peppery Chilisns. AZ
they are adopts at besiegiug the
hearts OF the fair msidens OF the
town they would naturally become
excellent besiegers OF cities, and we
are willing to bet our old hat they
would be IS successful In forcing
capitulation.
A powerful adjunct to the army Of
invasion and occupation would be
an army Of boys, aud half-baked
young men. All the government
would have to do In the way Of fur
nishing them sustenanee aud amuni-
ton would be all the cigarettes they
could consume. 1t would be a ques-
ton Of hours only until they would
smoke the ChiIians out Of home and
country.
We almost forgot to mention
Lieutenant Phillips. We do not
know where he is doing duty now,
but it is safe to say he il serving his
country with honor and distinction
BETTING his race and the place Of
his nativity.
Lastly. And only lastly. When
all other means have failed, we could
send down our assistant lecturer OF
the local Citizens Alliance, and he
would talk them to death inside Of
two hours and fifteen minutes. 1t
would beat Edison's electricity
scheme all hollow.
Salina could wipe out a good share
OF the Gillian nation herself.
Don't tread on our tail please.

Last week Mr.. w. q. Simcock
showed US q beautiful engrossed
copy OF the resolutions OF Salina
lodge A. F. and A. M. upon the
death OF Lewis w. Bates. 1t was
Mr.. Simcock's own peu work and oc-
cupied about two hours Of his time,
aud was prepared for the family Of
the deceased. Salina has many per-
sons who do fine work OF this kind
with the pen, but we can say with
out hesitation that this Is the
finest work il has ever been our
privilege to see. 1t will be beauti-
full aud lasting ornament to the home
where 1t goes, and an interesting
relic to posterity. Mr.. Simcock re-
ceived no pay for the work; il was
done out OF brotherly affection for
the deceased.

In the Kansas City Star a few
days ago we gained the information
that Judge August Bondi was q fol-
lower and cJmpatriot Of old John
Brown. We have been unable thus
far to confirm the report, as Judge
was always out when We called. The
statement the Star made that he
WAS the running gears Of the Demo-
cratic party Of Saline county comes
near being true at least. The Demo-
cratic party Of Saline county with
DIR. Tobey and Judge Bondi out
would be like the play Of Otheilo,
