THE GREAT FAIR
In the Arkansas Valley Which Emp
tied its Population.

The people of Sedgwick county, Kansas,
were out last week in their best bibs and
| fuckers at their county fair, which was held
at the new grounds OH the west side of the
| river from Wichita. Hot. dry weather with
| dust, had prevailed before, but "Wednesday
| night there came glorious rain which laid
| the dust, cooled the air and invigorated ev-
erybody as well:
OF the agricultural display there was al
most no end. and the livestock show was
| immense. In cattle there were Short-horns,
| Herefords, Galloways, Angus, Holsteins,
and Jerseys with their various
| grades. OF swine there were some
200 head made up of Poland
Chnas, (which largely predominated,) Berk-
shires, Chester White and Small Yorkshires,
but no reds. Horses both the draft breeds
and the quick steppers, were numerous and
of surprising merit for such new region;
| while some of the sheep were probably as
good as there are in the world. The feature
of having the cattle and horses paraded on
the track before the grand stand each day at
10 o'clock, under direction of the marshal,
is most satisfactory one, and we have never
seen it so well carried out AS it was at Wich-
tia. On the latter days of the fair it seemed
as though the entire valley had emptied its
popuiailpii vi W lHe STouUus, Will Tcsults
that financially must have been very pleas
| ing to the management.
The present organization is new one, but
has secured some choice grounds, and with
such sagacious, public-spirited citizens in
il directory as John Mccormick, J. X
Mead, T. ID. Fouts, John Kelly, NJ. Stewart,
G. 5. Eichholz, ID. A. Mitchell and others
like them, il is almost certain TO become the
leading agricultural association of the south
west; one, also, the big end of whose exhibit
tons will not be stereotyped agricultural

In this connection the Livestock Indica-
tor is glad to note that a meeting was re-
Gently held at Winfield, of representatives
from different counties, to arrange for cir
cult of fairs, including probably Sedgwick,
Harvey, Butler, Cowley, Sumner and Har-
per counties. The plan is to have an advis-
ory committee TO make rules, set dates, ar
range premiums, ETC., for all the fairs, in the
circuit, SO that there will be no conflict, and
that each may be benefited by all the
Others. When consummated it will be n
most desirable arrangement.

The EAGLES comment on the Leaven-
worth Times effort to get the Republican
sentiment, of the state touching the prohi-
bition law, tina: lit is vexed question" is
thus answered by the Usage City Free Press:
Yes. it is vexed quec,ion-whether it is
better to resubmit the question to vote of
the people and run the risk of burying it

reimbursement place ii upon q firm, ever
lasting foundation and thus obtain for it
the respect and obedience of all classes of
people in the state. Ii is a vexed question.

whnt's In . Leap Years

"This leap year business is all
humbug," broke in the statistical
editor, land ought to be buried
with thirteen at table, William
Tell and George Washington's 4
Ratchet I tell you, my boy,
State street has more to do with
the marriage crop than any year
that you can divide with four,
and these little stockholders
knock your Cupid's bows and
arrows irto the middle OF the
next centennial. All this Hipma-
guilder (the statistical editor has
traveled) about love making the
world 60 round looks very pretty
on the stage and reads very we'll
in the weeklies. but when times
are dull and money tight I take
notice that be doesn't do much to
make anything 60 round except
duns for flowers and carriages.
You'll find the marriage record is
a pretty good index Of the condi-
ton Of the times, go far back as
you like. Well begin with 1868.
That year there were 300 mar
riages in Boston. The number
was annually larger. and the next
leap year shows 4, ,419. In 1878.
you know. we reached the height
OF flush times, end 4,460 atroci-
ties were committed in the name |
Of Hymen (the statistician is also |
q bachelor). That year, you know,
brought Black Friday and the
panic, and that Fall and Winter
things began to tumble. In 1875
there were 8. 400. a drop Of l 900
in two years. In '70-leap year,
mind you-only 1900, and the
city growing all this while, and
the women getting thicker every
day. Your leap year theory |
didn't seem to work in those
lines. Then the election and the |
eight to seven business upset |
things again, and in 1877 there
were but 1880 marriages. Since
then we'vo been picking up, av-l
eraging a gain of 200 a year. |
Eighty-two saw 4,65l weddings,
and I reckon this last year will
beat that; but just as sure as
these croakers' predictions of
hard times come true, you'll see
the marriage business takAa drop
this year that no leaping can
overcome. There's nothing like
figures to burst the sentimental
bubbles every time.
