THE RAMBLER,
snatcher up of Street Talk and Other
Trifles.

TITLES.
1t was an unusually lively day for Mon
day and great deal of business was done.
Talk was plenty and cheap on the street
corners There was considerable grain in
the market, but the farmers were not pleased
with the prices offered. Corn was down to
% cents and wheat 20. met group Of
farmers, all from west of the river, and they
were discussing the location of the fair
ground Here is the EAGLE man, said one.
as the newsgatherer came up. "What do
YOU know OF the location of the fair
grounds on this side of the river?" asked one
of the party. 81 have heard but little about
at, said the street scayenger. After listen
ing TO that party while / found they were
unanimous in the opinion that there would
be rupture in the Fair association if the
grounds were located on the cas-. side Of the
river. met two other farmers who enter
tanned a like feeling on the subject, and one
of them said: "If the fair is to be located
this side of the river we will have fair Of
our own on the other side"
i met Hon. X. f. Lawrence and asked
him if be had any fair news. "Well," said
he, 81 still stick to the offer published in
the EAGLE have raised $50 for moving
and rebuilding ON our side Of the river. You
see most of the stock of the association has
been subscribed since the fair was located
over there and with that understanding that
it remain on that side So if it is taken away
from there the present association will I'M
doubtedly break up. We will have meet
ing of the stockholders in MitchelPs office
on Wednesday and probably some under
standing will be reached then"
II must have been big day in real estate.
as all the principal offices in that line weIe
crowded more than usual.
Everybody talks of going to see the M!ka-
do this time.
Yesterday appeared to be moving day. /
saw several families moving besides a num-
Der of business men. Hollowell & Doran
moved their stock of clothing into No. 224
Douglas avenue, which room was lately &C.
cupied by Kloos' Nickel Plate restaurant.
Mr.. Tusch will fit up Hollowell x Doran's
old stand for an ice-cIeam parlor.
L. S. Boyer. who bought out Bishop Bros
restaurant short time age, has leased DIR.
Blacks Riverside hotel, where he proposes
to run respectable hotel and a good one.
belieye Mr.. braves proposes to run a
restaurant in Bishop Bros. old stand.
One can hardly 60 anywhere in town
that he does not sec some old building sail
ing along the stree: TO make room for new
ones.
The live stock markets were all life and
hustle. It is astonishing the amount OF
business there is done in this line, and the
amount of money there is invested in live
stock here.
AL Packer tore down his windmill yes
terday and moved it down near the Santa
Fe stock yards. His stables will soon fol-
low.
met a young man from Springfield, Mo-,
at the Manhattan hotel. He said he was
representing merchant tailoring establish
ment in that Missouri town and that he had
taken several orders here. If that is so, it
ought not TO be. II is too bad if the mer-
chant tailors of this city can't do as well as
those in Springfield, especially when the
latter pay solicitor to come all the way
here. There was time when orders for
clothes, shirts, etc, were sent abroad, but
now think there is no necessity for doing
this. There are now two or three good
merchant tailoring establishments here: F..
W. Swsb and Mr.. Bostick, the new tailor in
the same room with Davis, in the Noble
building. These will probably duplicate
anything offered by the Missouri house.
Then Mr.. Davis promises TO do as well as
anyone in Kansas City, and if they do surely
our people are public spirited enough to
patronize home establishments.
