Taken During the Trip West and
SOUTH

WASHINGTON, May 1, 1873
There being some misapprehension regarding
the proposed Congressional Convention at st.
Louis 1t is assumed by some persons that only the
Southern and Western members are to be invited,
while the fact Is that all the Senators and mem
bers OF Congress invited, irrespective OF Sec
tion. The excursion train will leave st. Louis, via
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad on the morning
OF May 10, proceed over the iron and coal regions
Of Missouri through the Indian Nation to Vineta,
the crossing point Of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail-
road and by that road to DennisOn, Texas; thence
by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad
to Houston, and after few hours at
Houston by the Houston and Galveston and
Henderson Railroad to Galveston. The return will
be by the same route to Vineta, thence via the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad; through
Kansas and Missouri to Sedala, via the Pacific
Railroad OF Missouri. II will take about eight days

FLEETWOOD PARK.

Two trotting events were announced to come Oh
at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon, the nrst
being sweepstakes Of $3.50, mile heats best three
in I'VE, to wagons, entered for which were william
Lovells bay mare Topsy, R. J. Anderson's black
gelding Winfield and Pierce Hayden's bay mare
Lady Annie. The second was match OF $500 be-
tween r. J. Anderson's sorrel gelding State Of
Maine and Daniel Pliers bay mare Lady Lowell,
also to wagons. The latter race was drawn by
mutual consent but the former proved quite In.
teresting for this season Of the year.
The attendance was but limited. yet there
was considerable speculation among the few
betting men present: Before the. race Lady
Annie had the CALL and after Winfield had scored
the first heat she still preserved that place In the
pools After the second heat won by Topsy. the
average betting was-Lady Annie $25, Winfield 500
and Topsy SIG. The third heat was also scored
by Lovells bay mare and the fourth by Lady Annie,
when the owner OF T0psy desired to bet one hum
dred to seventy that she would prove tine victor.
The fifth heat was won by Lady Annie and the
sixth and race by Topsy. There was but little
that occurred during the contest to call for special
mention, although in one or two heats the horses
were punched at times for considerable distance.
The judges OF the day were Messrs. Mcnamara,
Crawford and Hayes.

ONE MANUFACTURING ITEM AND
SOME PLAIN TRUTH.


Nearly all our readers who wash
use washboards, made in st. Louis oil
some other eastern point, and trans
ported here for sale. They buy these
imported washboards as q matter of
course, rs If there were Eot and could
not be any other kind, and for this
item alone many thousa nds of dollars
have been sent east from this section,
not to return here. And we suppose
that the habitual foolishness of Kansas
people in this respect, will cause many
more thousands of dollars to be sent
away in the course of n few more
years, to pay for these comparatively
Insignificant wash boards. Just ex-
anime the quality OF the st. Louis ar
ticle generally sold. 1t is a thin,
weak, roughly made, and poorly fast
ened thing, sure to do poor work and
wear out quickly. We challenge any
st. Louis dashboard in this market to
compare in any respect with the wash
board being made in Emporia by j.
Mcdonald, and for sale by Geo. w.
Frederick. Mr.. Mcdonald has a COM
plete sett of dashboard machinery.
and turns out u very substantial,
smooth, and well made article. 1t ia
altogether better, and will do four
times the service of the imported
washboard. And it sells just as cheap
ly as poorer st. Louis one. Yet
how many OF our citizens are keeping
their money ut home and encouraging
Kansas mandatory by buying the
Emporia washboard. How many?
They can easily be counted. The
vast majority do in this as in all other
purchases of manufactured goods, buy
the imported article, pay more money
than they would for homemade one
just as good or better, and see the
money nearly all sent back east to
stay there, and make currency still
scarcer here. We don't blame the,
merchants at all for not keeping the
home article. They keep what their
customers call for. 1t is their business
to do that, and just as soon as Kansas
people will prefer to buy Kansas arti-
Giles, the merchants will keep them
The fault lies more or less with each
andievery one of us. We all act very
foolishly in regard to the most i'm
portant matter of buying Kansas made
goods in preference to eastern. made.
We imagine we can each do so to adj
vantage, and yet that Kansas manu-
features will spring up and become
established. 1t is time that each turn
ed over a new leaf in basihess, and re.
solved to buy the Kansas made goods
whenever they will serve the purpose
sought, and are sold at a reasonable
price compared to the imported article.
These -washboardS are one ease in
point, but there are scores of other
articles equally deserving of encour-
agement and patronage Mannfaetur-5
ed goods will be made In Kansas
when Kansas people have come to the
point of buying them, after they are
made and offered for sale. And until
the people do universally come to this
course of action, Kansas manufactures
will be few and far between, and Kan
sas will groan an vain tor money,
more rapid Increase of population,
and better prices for her own pro-
ducts.
