SALINA IS SELECTED.
Will Be Freight Division Point on
Union Pacific.

The rumors which were recently
spread concerning the creating of g.
freight division on the Union Pacific
at SaHna have been officially con-
f1rmed and the new change will go
into effect next Wednesday. March 4
This Is done to shorten the freight
runs on the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific which nave been too
long to allow the company to COM
ply with the sixteen hour law as they
should
This will not mean any change in
the different division points on the
Kansas division, and Ellis and juno
ton City will still retan these offices.
However, there is a probability that
transferred to Sharon Springs. This
would make the division more even
in length and in this event Sahna
would be made new division point.
Salina will have an increased force
of Union Pacific employees as a re-
suit of the creation of the new
freight division. Extra switchmen
and Office help will be required. New
sidings will also be constructed and
a switch engine added to handle the
freight at this point. In the event
that the Ellis division headquarters
are moved to Sharon Springs and new
division headquarters are started at
Sa1ina, the shops and Offices which
are to be built at Junction City will
be moved to Salina which would be a
more central point.

Not single bank in the state was
obliged to suspend business for lack Of
currency, though some of the banks in
the larger towns resorted to clearing
house certificates for a temporary med
1um Of exchange. Some of the small
banks were greatly worried for a while
by the shortage of currency, but they
managed to satisfy their customers.
The banks now have more money on
hand than ever. and are only waiting
to put it into circulation until business
conditions become a little more settled.
Take it altogether, and Kansas banks
came through the panic in remark
ably fine shape. Only one failure was
due to the financial trouble; the other
one was due entirely to a dishonest
cashier

Is regretting that the stay of the

and shopping expeditions, and they

the man afloat has for spending mon
ey when he is ashore. The shop keep

offer of a syndicate of British sports

terms of the proposed match as un-
fair. he has now made up his mind to

to bet of $4,000 on the side.

LALLY HELD FOR TRIAL.

March Term Without Bail.

Seneca, Kan, Feb N.-Late Wednes-
day afternoon James LAlly was bound
over to the March term of the district
court without bond on the charge OF
having murdered Herbert S. Jordan on
the evening of February IA.
The evidence of the weeks hearing
brought the defendant from Corning to
Seneca, on that fatal day, showed con-
clusively that he had purchased a pis-
tol in Seneca and was in the town up
to about o'clock when he disappear
ed. All of this was In direct CONTRA
diction to the testimony given before
the coroner by Lally, when he had tes-
titled that he was not in Seneca on
February IA, but had gone south from
Corning to Neuchatel and home.
The most important witness OF We'd
nesday afternoon was Warren Potts,
IA years of age.
Young Potts testified that he was 60
ing east on Main street on the evening
of the murder about $3.50. when he met
a stranger, whom he described as full
faced, with small eyes and light fuzzy
beard, wearing a black coat with the
collar turned up, black trousers and a
box cap. Asked if he saw any one pres
ent who resembled the man, the wit
ness answered that, in his best judg-
ment, he did. Directed to point out the
man, the witness stepped down and
placed his hand on Lally.
This witness further testified that the
stranger In question asked Wnere Her
bert Jordan lived, and that he, sup
posing that Herbert Jordan boarded
with his brother, w. H. Jordan, direct
ed him to the residence of the latter.
and parted with him on the corner, the
stranger going toward the Jordan
home Asked why he did not identify
Lally as the same man at the coroner
| inquest, the boy replied that Lally had
been recently shaved and had on differ
ent clothes. Gus Suffioool was in the
restaurant where Jordan took his meals
when the stranger came in, about $40
! Jordan being there at the time. The
stranger stood around, and was there
when he left. It might have been ter
minutes after that he heard the pisto
report Jordan sat on a stool in the
| front part of the restaurant. The
stranger stepped over to the stove and
looked at Jordan closely two or thres
F! times.
The state concluded it's case about I
o'clock, and after some time taken VI
| by attorneys in argument over reopen
| ing for further cross examination boil
| submitted their case without argument
| and Justice Mitchell promptly render
ed his decision, binding Lally over Il
1 the March term without bond. The de-
| fense offered no evidence.

He went fur ther, and said that If Bryan re- ceived as many votes as he did four years ago he would agree to give Cardwell a free ride m a wheelbarrow from one end of the street to the other. The offer was accepted, and Cardwell in turn agreed to give Cooper the ride Tn case Brydn's vote this year does not exceed that of four years ago.

AN INTERURBAN
 RAILWAY TALKED OF,

Dr. A. (. Smith left Tuesday for Siloam Springs with a couple of gentlemen from the east who are in this section with a view of constructing an electric railway from Sloan Springs to some point on the Frisco, and thence into Madison County. They al- so contemplate street railway at Fayetteville. J. C. Mitchell of Fayetteville was with the party that made the trip to Si- loam Springs, which was for the purpose of viewing the proposed route. We understand they have already gone over the route from Siloam Springs to Fayetteville, and Dr. Smith will attempt to convince them that 1t will be to their interests to come to Spring dale. It is said that a road can be constructed from Siloam Springs to Springdale much cheaper than from Siloam Springs to Fayetteville. The News suggests that the road be built to Springdale, and thence to Fayetteville. and Tn this way everybody would be benefited
 and the road would undoubtedly have much increased business.
