KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
Kan.a. salt Trust Formed.

A trust has been formed Of all the
salt interests of Hutchinson, which
practically controls the salt market OF
the west. The reason given for this
consolidation is that the Michigan salt
trust has encroached upon the Kansas
field, and is getting greatly reduced
freight rates. It is said the Michigan
salt trust loses money on every barrel
of salt sold In Kansas territory, but re-
coups itself in the territory 1t controls.
The new Kansas organization will re-
duce expenses, get better freight rates,
and quit all inharmonious action.

RS, Work was begun esterday on 4 the
preparations for; the new theatre I ana

to go will probe W be the old Wishing
Oak, which occupies a. position on the
ilineS Of the stree t,SS the old wall being
arched over Its roots. ~ sss 5St
Just what the age OF this old tree Is
no one now alive can verify apparent
ly,f nor the exact time or circumstance
conversation S with Mr. Waller, ~ of
Gamage &c Waller, yesterday he stated
his belief that the incident which gave
rise to the name occurred some years
ago during the childhood of Mrs. An.
inie Wake. She was wal king under the
tree some little distance In advance of
her aunt, Miss TazeweIl, and speaking
aloud the desire of her heart, remarked
that she wished she could have{a diam
ond ring, Christmas. Her aunt over
heard her, and when Christmas arrived
the coveted ring appeared also.
From this arose the custom amonS
little folks, and gradually among older
ones, of going under the Wishing Oak
and Wishing aloud the desire of the
specially favored to have lived so long
How many fair ones have spoken
their wish for q ring there, since then,
must be numbered myriad, and the
number of happy homes In which the
diamond ring is an heirloom as many
as the twigs undcr which the wish for
them has been voiced.
AS time went by the legend grew to
run thus: zone must go under the tree
on the night OF the full moon, speaH
their wish in a whisper and then walk
two blocks before again speaking
This. in the case feminine, absolutely
proves that the person must have gone
alone.
Mr.. Waller stated that another story
of the origin OF the legend was to the
effect that an old gentleman named
Zanzinger used to pass under the tree s
branches every morning, and. taking
off his hat, make n wish for a pleasant
day, or. for some special favor during
the day, and claimed he got what he
wished for. The tree is live oak. and
! its wood valuable, and 1t is possible
that furniture or ornaments will be
made of 1t rs souvenirs of one of Nor
folks landmarks now SO rapidly Civ
