The drawing at Mr. Seltx'a drug store last Saturday night, resulted in awarding the articles named to the following gentlemen Plush dressing case.W. F. Gilbert; muMe box, M. J).

Teacue braro Matuettes, R. P. Cravens lady's work hnkt, gentlemen in Fatuous Clothing House and Mr. Kaylu on a combination ticket. Mr.

A.T. Stnrien, of Chicago, viMtinghls relatives and old Salina friends during the holidays. His wife has been here for several weeks. We are pleased to learn that he la doing well In bis Chicago butlnest. He is president and ceneral man- auer of the Sandeu Electric of Chicago.

Mr. P. Q. Bond started for Chicago the first of the week, for a two week's absence. P.

Q. has developed into a flrst-clcMi real estate during Sailna's late boom, and his friends are pleased that'be hi done handsomely financially. It is mainly due to his efforts, also, that the new hotel scheme has been put on a possibly successful footing. The following Is taken from the Llndsborg Neirt: A Mr. Knowles, of Salina, Is here this week looking over the mill with au Intention of coming here permanently and running it.

Mr. Knowles comes well recommended, and should he decide to locate here he will fill a long felt want, and will meet with the hearty support of the people. We extend the hand of welcome. The city council met in an adjourned session Tuesday night. The petition to create the Fifth Ward of the city was laid upon the table indefinitely.

An ordinance with reference to obstructions on sidewalks was for the removal of all merchandise from the walks except betwen the hours of 6 A. M. and 10 o'clock p. m. News was received yesterday afternoon of the death of C.

W. Pepper, living eight miles east of Salina, who died from the efiecls of poison supposed to have been administered by lit own baud. The county attorney and coroner went immediately, upon the receipt of the news, to Investigate the matter and ascertain if there had been any foulplay. The news of the defeat of the Frisco proposition in Greenwood county by fifty majority was unwelcome, of course, to people here but It by no means defeats the intention of the Frisco oplc to build the mad. It will only delay matters .10 days or so, lit order to give the people of Green-wixhI county along the proposed line a chatiee to vote township aid, which will restdily be granted.

David H. D.idd. a resident ofSill-tia pome ten yiaro ngo, who was a carpenter and engaged in the manufacture of washing machines at one time, has been elected to the Legislature in Dakota. Chris formerly a baker in Mr. Lay's bakery, is postmaster at Wambuska, and is also farming.

Chris would like to return to Kansas. The Dakota climate is too cold for him. The etereoptlean entertainments being given each night at the Lutheran chureli by Prof. Ellruer bring out large audiences and give great satisfaction. It is an evening spent In delightful tour among the attractive places of the world, without the iu-conveuienceH of actual sight-seeing.

We are glad to know that the program is al What was advertised a very uncommou occurrence with entertainments. There recently appeared In the National Tribune at Washington a well-written appeal for help from a little girl in' behalf of her father's family, who were destitute residing near Garden City. Her father was a soldier In the Rebellion. In answer to this appeal the W. R.

of this place sent as a Christmas present a box or necessaries and $25 In money. No doubt the little glr's heart was made very glad on Christmas morning that her prayer was so generously and effectively auswered. On Friday and Saturday even nlngs of this week, Louis E. Odinga, an elder of the Moman church lor six years but who apostaclxed from that belief two years ago, will lecture iu the Baptist church. Mr.

Odinga Is now laboring for Christianity in Mor- rnondon. His object In theselecturts Is to wake the people up on this question, acquaint tbem with the mysteries of Mormonlsm, and assist in a solution if this great problem. An admission fee of 25 cents will be charged. The year 18S7 will be a noted one in the history of Salina. It will be a year of great business activity, during which her population will be greatly Increased, and many handsome business and private buildings erected.

It will not be an unnatural boom, to be concluded with business stagnation which has come and will come to some cities. It will be a healthy, substantial growth, fully warranted by an increased farming population, increased railroad facilities, and the establishment of manufactories and business making institutions, encouraged and brought here by the enterprise of a wide-awake community. Mr. Frank Hageman, tba efficient assistant Secretary or the National Mutual Insurance Company, whose resignation as an officer In that company has taken effect, was the recipient of a very handsome Christmas present in the sbapo of an elegant gold watch and chain. On the cap, engraved beautifully by D.

Dally Rash of Salina as General Inspector of their Loan business for the counties of Reno, Barton, Rice, Stafford, Pawnee, Mar-Ion, Harvey, and McPherson, and intends lo have his headquarters hereafter at Hutchinson. While we are sorry to lose him, we are glad of his good fortune in receiving such a profitable position.

The community, which he Joins, will gain In Mr. Manchester a tlrst-claw citizen and an honorable gentleman. Salina is quite prominent In the State Teachers' Association in session this week In Topeka. Mrs. Carruth-era is Secretary of the Association.

In the programme we find the following: "Relation or the Normal Schools to the county Normal Institute discussion by L. O. Thoroman, Salina, and ethers. "How to pronounce Latin and Greek" discussion by T.W. Cowglll, Salina, and others.

H. Owen, Baliua, aud others. Christmas day seemed to have been especially made to suit the wishes of all the people. It was delightfully pleasant, aud appeared more like an autumn day than the Hi in of December. It was quite generally observed, and as a consequence the streets had rather a Sunday appearance, except when the long line of pleasure vehicles commenced pawing and repassing iu the afternoon.

Of Christmas eve as observed by the churches, we have spoken elsewhere. Conversing with trades-people with referenco to sales, we find that the Christmas trade was better than usual, aud that many valuable presents were received from abroad per express. The Christmas oflSSC will linger as long in the memory as any of the pleasant festivals of the past which are so hallowed and sacred lu the memory of all Salina to the Front Again. Immediately upon the receipt of the news of the death or Geu. John A.

Logan last Sunday afternoon, members or Salina Post. G. A. assembled aud formally changed the name to the Post to John A. Logan Post, No.

127. Al about the same time the Bloomlugtoii Pont, did the same thing. And these, as the dispatches inform us, were the two first pmts in the United States to do honor to the memory or the deceased general. It Is a rule with the Grand Army that'be names or only deceased soldiers shall be conferred upon posts. At the Sunday afternoon meeting our Pest also passed suitable resolutions on the death of General Logan, and forwarded them to Mrs.

Logan. Our post was thus the first, also, to do this accustomed honor. The Gypsum Valley Echo of the 21th contained the following: Mabbied At the residence or the bride's parents, Miss Laura Kingman to John S. Kelley. Wednesday evening, Dec 22, Rev.

The Presbyterian, Methodist, Bap tist, Christian, Lutheran and the colored churches will unite in observing the week of prayer, beginning January 2d, 18S7. Union services will be held in one or the churches each evening or the week, except on 8undays, when there will be two churches open. The Ministerial As Bociauon are making every arrangement to have these services success ful. A four-page folder is being gotten up at the Journal office, containing the subjects and leaders and places of worship for each evening. together with 35 hymns, suitable for the week's aervlces.

ATTHELUTHEKAXCHCaCHi The Infant School of lae Lutheran ChHrea wsa entertateed at the home of their paster oa the afternoon before Christmas, A alee program of red ta-lion and song waa rendered, and the little ones bad a very happy time.

The cakes, candiea, nuts, aad spplea disappeared quite rapidly and showed that all were la good trim for the evening exercise at the church for the home enjoyments of Christmas day. Some time before the hoar for beginning the evening exercises the church room was filled. "The Promised One," was the subject of the concert exercise which waa rendered, com posed of responsive readings, cho ruses, quartettes, and solos. The music was the special feature, and was well rendered. Several or the Infant scholars recited amusiug and appropriate pieces.

Rev. Mr. Hartsock was present and made a short address. The organ recess behind the pulpit was curtained tastefully and when the bells or Santa Claus were beard, to the delight or all, the drawn curtains disclosed the old gentleman with his trusty deer and a sleigh filled with presents for the school Each scholar received a card, a small book, and a very unique tin bucket or candies. The exercises were very Interesting, and are said to have been the best ever held in this church.

The pastor, Rev. Gotwald, received as a Christmas gift from his people, a very handsome carved walnut study chair, upholstered In cherry leather. If he is not now able to take it easy It will not be the chair's fault. Mrs. Gotwald received a beautiful silk slumber-robe from the ladles or the Church.

AT THE CHUISTIAN CHURCH. As was anuounced, the Sunday. school or the Christian Church ren dered a beautiful cantata, in which waa recounted the fall of man and his redemption through Jesus Christ our Lord. The principal singers were Mr. Barclay, Mr.

Rash, Prof. Fertig, Mr. and Mrs. Priest, Mrs. Bremer, and Misses Cora Gift, Grade Goodwin, Verna Pealer and Wilma Stanley.

The duet sung by Mr. Barclay aud Mrs. Priest, and also one by Mm Priest and Miu Grade Goodwin.were especially fine. At the conclustou or the cantata, a sleigh filled with presents for the en tire school, aud mauy elegant ones for personal frleutts, was run out on the stage, and Santa Claus in other words, Mr E. D.Barclay distributed the gifts through the audience.

The church was crowded with people, both old and all expressed themselves as well pleased. Attuk First BAfrtsr Church. The Sunday-school and members of the Church and congregation had a ChrUtmas festival, ChrNtints tree, arch, and Santa Claus, with music by Salina orchestra and church. at the m. church.

The program, consisting or recitations, eougs, etc was rendered entirely by children of the Sunday- school. It was very luterestlng, and the delivery would be a credit to much older persons. After the program Rev. J. H.

Lockwood was called upon and delivered a few appropriate remarks. Then came the delight or the children the taking from the tree and distribution of the presents. Besides the usual amount or candles, nuts, and apples given to each mem ber or the school, were a number or presents given to personal friends. The church was crowded, and alto-" gether it was a pleasant occasion. AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The entertainment given by tho Sunday-school was a most enjoyable occasion for all who participated. The program was short and simple, yet not the less attractive on that accoun t. It consisted or a selection or appropriate songs by the school aud scripture recitations by some or the scholars, so arranged as to present the story or the cross in its simplicity trnd sweetness. The Christmas tree, the attractive feature of the evening for the young people, was one of the largest and finest ever enjoyed by the school. It was decorated lu a very pretty and charming way, and fairly groaned with Its load of presents, seemingly well suited to the wants of the happy recipients.

The whole exercises were short, impressive, and satisfactory. The A. M. E. and the Second Utti-tlst Churches also bad Christmas trees.

A Snbstantiil Rememberance of the Poor. A novel plan for alleviating the sur ferings or the poor was Inaugurated In the city schools by Supt. Owen last week. It was, that each child should bring a potato Friday. And.

as an offering to that end, the contribution waa not limited to one potato nor to potatoes In particular. It was understood anything would be acceptable. It was like an inspiration. The hearts of both parents and pupils overflowed with unbounded charity. From every home weut forth the children carrying, not always one, but batkett of potatoes, with apples, vegetables, canned fruit, meat, bread, dothing ami cash, bo-sides numberless other articles, suf-fident to make two wagon loads.

Over twenty bushels of potatoes, one and a half of apples, and $5.40 cash, were among the contributions. Supt Owen turned all over to the "Ladles Aid 8odety" for distribution. The ladles knew nothing of it until required to take care or it. It was a fit preparation for Christmas-tide and It sent the little folks home with hearts full of good-will, kindness and generosity. That was one lesson not found In books which like a good many others comes within the province of school work.

We hope this custom will be perpetuated and we commend It to other communities for imitation. Ceptd's CiBttvts. A very happy event It waa when, on last Tuesday al3o'closk P.M., Mr. Adam H. Damn and Mka Ida C.

He died in the full assurance of faith, and In the hope of a glorious immortality. He retained the normal exercise of all his faculties to the very last. The idea or meeting hla Savior and Ella and bis other sister and two brothers who had gone before, seemed to be a great com. fort to him In the hour or hla departure.

He was much engaged In prayer and was evidently ready to enter that world where prayer Is changed Into praise. Thus In the midst or lire, foil or promise, died this young man, at peace with God, at peace with his own conscience, and at peace with bis fel-fow men. This Is a voice of admonition to all, and espedally to hla young friends and associates that they alao be ready for the fatal hour. God only can give the needed consolatton to the parents and surviving brothers and slaters. May they all meet at last, an undivided family, In heaven.
