Salina and Lindsborg Growing.

The editor made business trip to
Salina and Lindsborg the fore part OF
the week. We find that Hays, al,
though undeniably is one of the best
of the smaller cities of the state, II
is not alone in its progressiveness.
Salina has many new buildings going
up and residents say that Salina is
going to boom this Spring A new
stock company from Denver has bought
up the street railway and the line will
be changed to an electric. The propo-
sition of paving several more streets is
now being agitated.
Lindsborg, the home of the Swedes.
is In many ways model town for it's
cleanliness and enterprise. Wide
streets, large trees and good lights
go to make it one of the most beauti-
full little cities of the state. The towr
was laid out by DR.. Swensson, and
Bethany College, which is located
there, was founded by him. Bethany
Is foremost music school of western
central United States and students
from all quarters of the union are en-
rolled there. It's college department
is said to have more representatives in
Yale than any other college. This
college is the home of ''The Messiah,
the religious Easter concert that has
become so well-known throughout this
country. Lindsborg has also gained
quite reputation for its band and
male chorus.

Judge Ruppenthal tells in his Luray
Herald notes:
1.-TWO jurors were rejected from the
panel at Hays last week because they
were aliens. Both were young men
and they supposed they were American
citizens because their fathers took out
naturalization papers years ago. But
it developed that the fathers had only
secured ''first papers" or declared their
intention to become citizens and while
this enables the fathers to vote, it con-
fers no rights on the sons, who have
been voting illegally, though unaware
that they were so doing. Each hasten
ed to take out his declaratory papers,
and many more will likely follow among
young men. There is no doubt that
there are many young men in Ellis
County who were born in Europe who
are likewise in error in thinking they
have some rights of citizenship through
their fathers declaration of intention. -

THE SOCIAL HALL.


sation. The Prophet Joseph Smith
loved his child-nephew, and many times
he blessed the brown-hired boy, who
as man and leader still loves that pro-
phet next to the Savior Himself. And
therefore, 1t is not strange that this
good and gracious man should. in con-
nection with his council, consent to the
plea of the auxiliary committee OF the
Genealogical society to restore the old
Social Hall to its pristine glory, and to
fore-gather once more in those walls.
sacred to proper and heaven-blessed
recreation.
There are many places Of amusement
in this city, but none OF a character to
supply the old-fashioned demand for
such a place as the Social hall.
1t is the desire OF the auxiliary COM
mittee OF the society to secure in time,
a complete Genealogical library. And
as q secondary design, to cement to-
sether with the fascinat ting chain Of
proper social diversion, those of the
saints who are likewise engaged in the
work of promoting the upbuilding of
this cause. With this end In view a
committee, OF which Mrs. Edna L..
Smith as chairman, has been laboring
for some weeks to bring this matter to
a successful issue. Mrs Smith herself
has long been a worker in temple la
ppi having DSCll c<illSu WlGn d IlGIt
girl to assist in the labors OF the En-
dowfnent house. Here she carried her
babes, serving In double capacity, and
there she labored with never-f1agging
zeal till that house was closed and the
Salt Lake temple dedicated Since
then, she has been constant worker
there. 1t is not surprising therefore,
that Mrs. Smith should enter into this
later development Of temple work with
her whole soul The auxiliary commit
tee purpose having d series of brilliant
social events during the coming win
ter which will equal, but scarcely SUR
pass, the events and functions Of those
earlier days. The hall will no doubt
be much in demand, but the commit
tee is determined to retain, through
care and effort, the old-time aroma OF
genuineness and stability which was
SO characteristic Of older times.
THE hall is to be in readiness for the
opening of the New Year holidays, and
great social events may be watched for
confidently during the winter.
The means which may accrue from
the use and rental OF this building, will
be set aside, after due expenses are
taken therefron, for the purchase Of
books for the genealogical library. Tho
sisters are full of zeal to assist in max
ing that library, which will be the
