Talk Of the Tracks.

"Some repairs are being made on
the Santa Fe bridge over the Solomon
river" says the Solomon Tribune.
"This bridge together with one at
Enterprise and one at New Cambria
were condemned some time ago and
it was talked in railroad circles that
the Santa Fe would abandon their
track and run from Enterprise to
Salina over the Rock Island. The
bridge is only being repaired tempor-
arily and indications point that the
track will be abandoned" 1t is un-
likely that this will occur as the San
ia Fe from Enterprise to Abilene is on
the Superior branch, one Of the best
paying lines Of the road. The Rock
Island track from this city to Salina
could, however, be used without diff
Guilty as the tracks are parallel and
close together.

PROBABLY JOINED THE CIRCUS.
Injured Man Has Left the Town
at Last.

The man Cooper who was hurt in
the circus day scrap has gone. 1t is
thought that he has met the show at
Concordia and that its fascination
will keep him following it despite his
hard usage. Sheriff Robson has re-
ceived letter from a detective con-
nected with the show which says that
the alleged assaiant who was held
for few hours and then released now
denies that his trouble cost him any.
thing. The officers released him, it
seems, because of the contradictory
stories told by the complainant.
There appears to have been a lot of
high grade, double geared prevarica-
tion connected with the affair and the
county is well rid of the matter.

DID NOT FIND HIM.
Watch.Stealer Could Not Be Found
on the Train,

VII tIlc 1Thlu,
Miss Alta Matchett was seeing
some friends off at the afternoon L.
P, train Saturday. just as it stopped
she was jostled in the crowd and felt
her gold watch snatched from her
belt. She gave the alarm and Sheriff
Robson made lightning dash getting
aboard as the train started, intending
to catch the thief.
Sheriff Robson went with Saturday
afternoons train to Russell endeavor-
ing to find the man who took Miss
Matchett's watch as the train stopped
here. A description Of the watch and
Of the man supposed to have taken it
was wired to Salina. About the only
distinguishing mark was "crush" or
"crash" hat and Robson searched
every man who wore either kind
without any result. 1t is probable
that the man did not get on the train
at all but slipped back in the crowd.
At least he is gone and the watch is
also past finding. 1t is a serious loss
to Miss Matchett and she feels very
bad about it. Wearing watches in
belt is not good plan in crowd.

A SHERMAN ROMANCE.
His Old California Sweetheart Loyal to
the General.


the General.
When General William Tecumseh
Sherman was o raw subaltern in the
United States army, without fame or
laurels and little apparent hope of win
ming either, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle, he wooed and won beautiful
Spanish girl then living in Monterey,
Cal. Dona Maria Ygnacia Bonifacio
fell beneath the ardent chances of the
lank, ungainly youth just as the flag of
the sister republic was lowered before
the triumphant army led by Scott. To-
day she is still true to her early love
and unaware of the fame and death of
her lover.
California was then part of the
Mexican republic. Sherman, like many
another. was forced to make war against
the land Of the Montezumas. In the
closing year Of the struggle, when Cali
fornia was occupied and became part
of the United States, Sherman was as
signed to duty on the coast. Here he
met the fair dona, lost his heart to her
and won hers in return. She was
member of an old aristocratic Spanish
family, and the subaltern was congratu-
lated upon his luck. 70 emphasize his
devotion. the young officer in 1855
planted rose tree before tho entrance
to the home Of his beloved
Then came the inevitable misunder-
standing which accompanies every ro-
nance. The lovers disagreed. Sherman
left the army and went east to take up
the law. He never afterward saw his
sweetheart, nor did she ever permit his
name to be mentioned in her hearing.
She speaks Spanish only, never reads
newspaper, and while the nation has
sung the praises of the hero OF Atlanta
the Spanish maiden knows nothing of
him from the day he left her. She still,
although long past her youth, waits for
the return of the man whose image has
never left her heart.
But in spite Of the separation Of the
sweethearts that rose tree throye and
waxed great. Now its branches have
spread until they form beautiful bow
er over the doorway of the old Spanish
mansion. Here the coma, sole survivor
of her race, sits and waits, silent and
alone, for the return of him who can
not come. Under the bower of roses due
to her lovers care she stood recently
and permitted her portrait to be taken.
She is still very beautiful in spite of the
ravages of time and secret sorrow.

FIGURES OF SPEECH.

While aunty was reading story one night,
TO good little Oliver smiling delight,
She came upon something remarkably queer
That good little Oliver wondered TO hear.
And this was tho something she placidly read.
"Jane Ann then determined to enter the shed,
And, cautiously dropping her eyes ON the floor
They fell on the snake which had caught them
before"
Interruption was rude. the dear child had been
taught,
So he said not word. but he thought. and he
thought,
And the longer he pondered the stranger it
grew
The thing that Jane Ann was reported TO do.
He felt of his eyes with mysterious doubt
And wondered how she could have taken hers
out;
And how-this was really what puzzled him
more
They could fall on thing which had caught
them before.

Ant Quotation.

There is sometimes moro wit in the
application to the business in hand of
words already chosen fer another pur-
pose than in the invention Of an appro-
pirate phrase. Bishop Whipple, accord
ing to The Church News, loved to tell
this story:
A deyout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary zeal,
gave notice to his congregation that in
the evening an offertory would be taken
for missions and asked for liberal gifts.
A selfish, well to do man in his congre.
cation said to him before the service:
Yer gwine to kill dis church eff yer
goes on saying give, give. No church
can stan it, Yer gwine to kill it. -
After the sermon the colored minister
said to the people:
Brother Jones told me / was gwine
TO kill dis here church eff KEEP a-askin
yer to give, but, my brethren, churches
doesn't die dat way. Eff anybody knows
of church dat died cause it's been
givin too much to de Lord, I'll be very
much obliged ef my brother will tell me
whar dat church is, for TIE gwine to
visit it, and I'll climb on de walls Of
dat church. under de light of dc moon,
and cry, Blessed am de dead dat die ia

but when they got to the church door
they found it was raining.
