As usual, Leavenworth is ahead Of the
other towns in the West. Not content with
getting up mammoth Horse Fair ut hall
an hours notice, she must needs bestir her
self and make arrangements for q Poultry
and Pc, Stock Exhibition, which same Is
to be held in the latter part Of the coming
month OF December. Our chicken fanciers
and pet stock men are in dead earnest, and
it is a we'll known fact that when Leav-
enworth man makes up his mind in regard
TO the accomplishment OF an object, no
matter what said object may be, something
will be the result. t is not At all necessa-
nv, however, iha, years notice should be
given any citizen of the metropolis, when it
Geyolyes upon him TO put his hand into
mis- pocket and hand over s. bill to aid
in any enterprise, the product Of which
will result in good to the city.
ST. JosEPH's EXHIBITION.
The little neighboring town of 81. Jo-
seph proposes to hold Poultry and Pet
Stock Exhibition in the early part Of De-
oember, the regular premiums offered at
which will aggregate $475, and the spe-
cial premiums, $3.50. Something in the
neiebborhood OF $50 of this latter is offer
ed by Leavenworth fanciers, who, animated
by a sincere to help each and every one
along, kindly contributed. 1t is the
intention Of the Leaven worth Poultry and
Pet Stock Association to offer $500 in spe-
cial premiums and $500 in regular premi-
ums. all of which will be raised here in our
own burg, and without the help Of anybody
FINN the outside. This ia Sl75 better than
the ST. Joseph Association offers, which
had $500 in its treasury. when the subject
of holding the exhibition was first broach-
ed. The Leavenworth Association was
formed only few days ago, but it has al
ready accoml lished wonders.
IT'S EXTREMELY PROBABLE
the exhibition will be held in the new mar
ket house building on Seventh street, pro-
yided this structure is large enough to ac-
commodate all those who desire to exhibit.
The said building is about two hundred
feet long BY fifty feet wide, and if it should
be found 70 be TOO small, . wooden addition
could be built on at a merely nominal cost.
The contents Of the building could be taken
ont and stored somewhere else for the time
being.
ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS.
The following special premiums have
been offered since the publication of the fol-
lowing list. At the present writing the
specials offered aggregate S3O4.25 and 1t Is
