AT TOPEKA OBER, The Clothier, traded as much fun as a box of monkeys. A fow met at the auditorium and an old frame of a horse and a rickety old spring wagon wore secured from a colored man. With this paraphernalia Jules Mailloux, a St. Louis drummor, F. R.

Somo idoa of how Salina traveling men can entertain when abroad, can be had from the reports of the Grand Coun cil Meeting held at Topoka laat week Salina, made fun for an hour. Gols was the driver and Mailloux and Fonn took turns doing the "spoiling.

Charles Berg took the part of the "Man eating joggorwock." The procession stopped in front of the State Journal office whore the coachman, Geis, was auctioned of! to the highest bidder, cash in hand. Mailloux doing the "spoling," "Gois" somehow, didn't take very well, and the auctioneer only succeeded in realizing flG for him. He was bid in by the State Journal. This procession was headed by two drummers from the Salina band and it created plonty of amusement. FIELD EVENTS.

In the field events in the auditorium Saturday afternoon Ed Geis won in the gentlemen's sack race and recoivod as a prize a joint fishing pole, reol and silk line. In the goose race for ladies, Mrs. N. I. McDowell, of Salina, won third place and received a set of table linon.

Art Hawley's team lost at tug-of-war to Pete Bastgen's team. Prizes wore awarded to doth the winners and losers in this event. THE PRESIDENCY. It is the sheerest nonsonse to discuss Grovor Clevoland as a candidate for tho presidency on the democratic ticket for 11)04, In tho first place he has not said that he desires to be a candidate, He has the ability to be president and that has been demonstrated. In the second place there is no popular demand for him as a president.

The rank and file do not want him as a candidate in the next campaign not because some professional politicians oppose him but because the rank and file do not beliove his candidacy would be politio or wise. The candidate for the domocratio party for 1904 must be a man of experience a man of undoubted patriotism and decision of character, It is no use to talk of expedioncy men. The time has come in the history of this country when a man is demanded for the presidency who will execute the laws with a firm steady and fearless hand. Not a mere patronage broker not a trust promoter not a panderer to any organized ferces which may presume to run this government for the benefit of organizations. There is such a thing as a man possessing special executive ability.

They may talk of this man or that man as an available candidate but that is too indefinite a qualification. Availability stands for nothing where executive ability foarlessness for the right and character and ability are demanded. Let Grover Cleveland rest as a candidate and turn your eyes toward some man with back bone, experience, ability and moral courage and above all a man who is sufficiently democratic as to be independently individualistic American. The trusts must be defied and all other organizations that seek to put institutions above constitutions and demand special protection of any kind whatever from the government, The tyranny of organization is the most galling and unreasonable of all tyranies. WHAT MADE SALINA 7 Doubtless many mon boliovo that tlioy had the most important hand in the building up and the making of Salina.

It must bo conceded that thoy had a hand and exortod an influence in building up the city. But it requires other things in connection with-mon to build up a town or a city. Tho town or city must havo an oligibH) site or location. The sito or location inuBt bo surrounded by fertile soil and climate roust favor the production of tho soil. All of these holpod Salina.

Othor forcos then are necossary to be employed to build up or make a town or city. One of the principle forces to bo employed is the press and the newspaper. One of the most important potential and essentia! forcos in tho building up of a town or city is the nowspapor, Contemporary with the men who solocted the site laid the foundation and saw the future for Salina came the Salina Herald. It started as the Herald, it remained through evil as woll as good' report and is the Herald today. It has never changed its cognomen.

Othor newspapors have come and gone, othor newspapers have changed their names but the Herald has never changed its name, it has been the papor of destiny. It advertised the location of, Salina. It advertised the fertility of the soil surro.unding Salina. It prophesiod the best results for Salina. It invited bomoBteaders and home seekers to como and live in Salina and Saline county and to cast in their fortunes with thoso who had faith who wore using their energies and enterprise to build a city on the plains of Central and Western Kansas that should be the commercial center of all this territory.

So the Herald is still here a home paper a paper still believing in the future of Salina and that better and greater things are in resereve for the city and the people of the city respectively. The Herald advocates the building of the north and south railroad. It sees in the project groat advantages for Salina and Saline county. It has faith in the project and would not advise the encouragement of the building of the road did it have no faith. It doeB not believe that there is any unfair or under-hand scheme in the proposition and therefore it advises all and every one to aid in eecuring the north and south railroad.

Strike tho iron while it is hot the opportunity affords and do not allow any other city or county to take from us what is now practically within our grasp. It was bound to come. I was looking for it. There'll probably be others. This from a man in Ellis: May 10, 1903.

Ypu bald-headed old rascal, what is there about that far-from-classic profile of yours that wins e'm I'm not rich although I am getting: more than $14.00 a week but I'll lay down a nice twenty-dollar yellowback if you'll give me the secret. I never had any poor, fond hearts throb for mc. Still I am sound, kind, and will work in any harness. I'm a Clothier myself. Show a fraternal spirit, old man, and put me next.

Yours for health, Can't be taught, J. B. If it could I wouldn't tell you. You, perhaps, have seen a freckled-faced farmer's boy, with an alder pole and a bent pin, pulling speckled trout out of a brook, while just up-stream a chap with an 8-ounce split-bamboo rod was casting flies all day without a strike. Yes Well, that's the principle.

They don't always rise to the likeliest looking bait. No more advice along these lines, boys; but I'll tell you all you want to know about the honest, good, year-round Ober's Clothing." There's a bait' that always lands, and you'll realize why as soon as you see 'em. Never were so good as right now. Never in the history of Kansas was there as well made, well cut, well trimmed, or as perfect fitting clothing for sale as you can now find at OBER'S. Our prices for these goods you will find lower than the hand-me-down kind at our neighbors.

Who wonders that our trade is increasing per month. It is not a throbbing heart that wins the way but it is the best merchandise on earth at prices below value. If you want Nobby Hats; if you want perfect fitting Shoes, if you want Shirts, Underwear, Neck-ties, Trunks and Grips, there is but one place to get the proper thing at the right price and that is OBER'S, Salina, Kansas. Rev. Simkins Dead.

Rev. W. A. Simkins who died at his residence on Phillips street on the morning of the 7th inst. came from the city of Auburn New York and charge of the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church on the last Sunday of Docembor 1873.

From that date until the year 1885 he continued in the pastorate of the church when the relations between him and the church were dis-olved. For sovoral years thereafter he served the church at Lincoln Center but his health began to fail him and he retired from the ministry remaining Nearly every body in Salina remembers Sunflower Council in Minstrelsy, last Christmas, and when, after considerable more time to consider the various entertaining features of that performance, the entire program was given with "frills" added, it may be taken as a matter of course, all Topeka is singing the praises of Salina and her Sunflower Council. The Sunflower badge, (so much in evidence at Topeka) is beoome a badge of honor to Salina. From the Topeka Capital, we take the following The crowning event for the United Commercial Travelers' convention was the complimentary vaudeville entertainment at the Auditorium last night by the Salina council and a few others. "Every number on the program was enthusiastically received and not a song or part was given but what received an encore and somo were brought back as many as four times.

The costumes worn were very rich mid attractive. The chorus was dressed in Colonial fashion with all the frills and laces of that time. The end men, eight in number, wore an excellent end-men make up and performed their parts in a manner that would make Field's minstrels turn green with envy. Ralph Potter is so short that the skirt of his coat would have touched the floor but for careful pinning up. The end men were George Hippie, Charles Berg, Charles Lyman, E.

Fenn was the prize coon of the bunch. Clarence Coldren and Sheldon Wentworth sang solos during the first part. Professor Grubbs acted as interlocutor. A number of Modocs also assisted in the chorus work, "The second part of the program was made up of high-class specialties, the first number being by the Washburn trio composed of Misses Vida Wood, Florence Morton and Mary Daniels. "Mr.

S. Darling, of Oklahoma City council, got off some stunts that make a decided hit with the audience. In his story about circus day he proved himself an excellent impersonator. "The last number on the program was a very eleven turn at the piano by Percy Lowry of Concordia. He brought tears to eyes of his audience, almost, in repeating on the piano a piece played by a cowboy, band at the funeral of one of the boys.

The cowboy band had only one piece that it could play. That was "A Hot Time in the Old Town." This he played on a piano in a minor strain. "The minstrel was a complete success. The participants received the glad hand most of the time intervening between his retirement until his death at his home. A number of the members of the Presbyterian church followed Mr.
