KANSAS STATE FAIR.


This is undoubtedly the year for a
very fine state fair, both for our own en-
tertaInment and profit, and as On adver-
tisement to others of what we can do and
really are. The facts Of the situation are
striking. While there Is more or less n
scare in all the states east of US, we are
In situation where nothing can hurt rs
very seriously. We thought we had an
enormous corn and wheat crop last year,
and we really had, and got good deal
of money first and last for 1t.
1t was nothing to boast Of
compared with the yield of this year.
The stock interest has increased CORES
pondingly, and the state with her i'm
mense resources in pasturage and feed,
is looked upon as q source Of supply for
the better grades of stock for all the
grazing country southwest Of US.
II is intended by the managers this
year to make the State Fair at Topeka q
great stock show, perhaps the finest that
has ever been held in the west. The
finest animals will be brought together
there from all parts OF the Union, and
there will be good display of our own
best animals, cattle, horses, swine and
sheep.
The Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe
road, considering its interests identical
with those of the farming and stock.
growing community, has taken the mi
tiative. and will carry passengers from
any where in Kansas to the fair at one
cent per mile. II is evident CHAT thiE
cannot be done as q speculation, but
rather to assist everybody to a holiday
at the close of the most prosperous yea
IN our history, and TO aid in the promo
ton of the industries that are the direc
means of the prosperity of an Immense
district of country traversed by thil
great line, aud which, more than AM
other, has assisted in making us tn,
wealthiest of all the younger states.
The state fair will be held at Topeka
1 September Sth to the 18th.
