Kansas Centennial Exhibition.

We have passed through and have not
vet recovered from fearful financial
ordeal Many of us desire to attend the
Centennial exhibition at Philadel phia,
but the purse of some of US is limited,
and unless the expenses can be made
light we cannot enjoy this privilege.
We have devised the following plan, and
ask the hearty cooperation Of all who
desire easy terms.
First, We desire to visit the following
places on our trip: "St. Louis, Chatta-
nooga, Washington, Philadelphia, and
return by way of the Hudson River.
Niagara Falls, and the Great Lakes, if
suitable terms can be obtained from the
railroad companies on this route.
Second, all who desire will go with water
proof tents, so that all hotel bills can be
avoided.
Third, we shall try to secure tickets
good for ninety days, so that all who
desire can turn aside to visit their east
ern cousins. Fourth, we want two
thousand names Immediately, so that it
will be an object for any railroad to
secure our patronage. That number of
names will tell. BY this union we hope
to break the present prospective high
rates of fare to this exhibition. Send
three postal cards, carefully addressed to
Yourself, that with one we may notify
you that your name is on record; with
one, how matters are progressing, and
with the other, when the excursion will
start. We hope to be able to start about
June Goth.
Call the attention of your friends to
this article. Many names have already
been secured, and every one will count
in securing low fare. Address,
