Those two sailors who rescued Mr. Roosevelt from the briney deep, should have Carnegie medals. Dave Ball, the Pike county, Missou' statesman is predicting that Missouri will vote prohibition whenever the test comes. A Texas mob carelessly lynched the wrong man last week. The gentlemanly and good natured lynchee, however, has entered complaint.

The Salina Commercial Club will make the trade trip over southwest Kansas in May. The Secretary, E. L. Wilder calla for 500 volunteers for this trip. What brought you hear?" said New York magistrate to an Irish offender.

"Two policemen sorr," was the reply. "Ah, drunk of course Yes, sorr, both of The $1.26 wheat is mighty fine for the Kansas farmer, but it makes the poor city wage earners, recompense for a day of toil look mighty slim after paying $1.70 for his flour. Salina is now in "touch" with the President. J. 0.

Taft, who owns property here is a second cousin of the president and has come back to Salina after several years of absence. The Supreme Court of Louisiana has affirmed the constitutionality of the law in that state which abolishes gambling on the races. Which is one more victory for law and order. Every Kansan who travels out of state ought to have in his pocket copy of Secretary Coburn's "'Idyls It is brimful of astounding truths, and is a hard hitter. It makes a Kansan feel bigger to have one these little books in his pocket.

argument against Kansas can stand against the facts told in the book. Henderson Martin, is to 1 be one of the speakers at the democratic banquet Monday night. As chairman of the democratic campaign committee last year Mr. Martin was resourceful, and aggressive to the very last, and kept the opposing ticket constantly on the rack. The democrats of Saline county will hear him gladly on this banqueting occasion.

The democratic party has given Nebraska a "daylight saloon" law and it has been signed by the governor. All saloons will be compelled by state law to close at 8 o'clock in the evening and remain closed until 7 in the morning. Of course, the saloon interests insist that this action has ruined the democratic party in Nebraska, but the people generally endorse the Mankato Advocate. It is admitted that the Payne bill, as it goes to the Senate, is not a good revenue producer, considered with reference to the national deficit. This admission was made by the Ways and Means committee when it provided for contingent bond issues.

If the Senate should cut out the graduated inheritance tax recommended by the President and granted by the Ways and Means committee, the Payne bill would be less productive than the Dingley Kansas City Star. Mr. Roosevelt, can't dodge the reporters of the European newspapers. Whole columns of interviews are written by reporters whom Mr. Roosevelt says he never saw.

He is constantly cabling denials and pronouncing the interviews as fabrications in their entirety. When it comes to downright lying, the windy American reporter of the worst type of yellow journalism, is not to be compared with those Mr. Roosevelt meets in Europe. Secretary Coburn's, little book "Idyls of Kansas' is just out. It is a book of paragraphs, and each one is a wonderful story of Kansas.

For example, one paragraph reads: "Jewell County, Kansas, raised- in 1896 nearly 11,000,000 bushels of corn. This was more than the combined yields that year of Maine, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, or considerably more than the aggregated output of California, Colorado and Florida in the same year." LOCAL MECHANICS OBJECT. The awarding of the contract for the erection of the Y. M. C.

A. building to a firm- outside of Newton, elicited a decided protest from local contractors and mechanics. A meeting of these men was held last week, and resolutions were adopted calling upon business men to take action prevent money subscribed by home people for public enterprises from going to out-of-town contractors, "under existing circumstances. About 45 contractors and mechanics endorsed the resolution.Newton Journal. A good deal of boom was worked up for Newton over the movement for Y.

M. C. A. building, and Newton has been frequently spoken of in Salina. But, as the money for Newton's Y.

M. C. A building was evidently raised by popular subscription, the point is no doubt well taken by Newton's mechanies. No general protest has however, been made by Salina's mechanics, because contracts have been let to outsiders. Some big jobs have been let to non-residents of Salina within the last five years.

AND SHE TOO MARRIED. An Atchison girl had a proposal of marriage Sunday night and asked a week to think it over. She went to all of her married sisters. One, who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn't been to the theatre or out riding since she was married. Another, whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him.

A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After visiting them and hearing their woes, the heroine of this little tale went home, got pen, ink and paper and wrote an answer to the young man. You may think it was refusing him, but it wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month. -Atchison Globe.

Flour was advanced to $1.70 yesterday. This is a raise of 25 cents per sack, and will no doubt serve to lessen the consumption. Potatoes and corn bread are pretty good eating. Corn is worth 65 cents but even at dollar a bushel it is cheap for bread and healthful. A.

Shields of the Christian church and Rev. Shepard of the Baptist church have gone from Salina to speak on the subject. Other Salina members of churches are also attending the meeting.

The Congregationalists and United Brethren churches of this city, consolidated several years ago.

Farmer's Barn Burned. The large barn and all its contents including several tons of hay and 300 bushels of corn, belonging to M. M. Maxwell was burned Monday night. The farm is near Mentor and about seven miles from Salina.

The high wind caused grave fears that the Maxwell residence would be burned also and the Salina fire chief was asked to send the chemical engine out but before the start the request was recalled as the wind shifted and the residence was safe. The fire is supposed to have originated from a partially burned match that was dropped in scattered hay. The live stock' and some harness was saved. The loss is about $1000 partly insured.

JACK LONDON -LINGUIST. On his trip around the world for Woman's Home Companion, Jack London has spent some time among the South Sea Islanders. He tells about the common mongrel vocabulary that has grown up among the Melaneisns in an article called "Too English in the April number of Woman's Home Companion. In the South Seas hundreds of different dialects are spoken. "Too Much" English, or "beche de mer English, introduced by the traders, has become the common vehicle for speech among the various tribes of the far away Islanders.

"Too much, by the way, does not indicate anything excessive," says Mr. London. "It is merely the simple superlative. Thus, if a native is asked the distance to a certain village, his answer will be one of these four: 'Close up; long way little bit; long way big bit; or long way too There Is A Difference Distinctive features characterlize the printing done by Padgett's Printing House.

Improvements are being made on the farm and it is being stocked up and will be made a model country home. Several years ago Mr. Martin took an active part in politics and resided in Washington, D. C. during the Harrison administration.
