Bulbs after. Forc,na.

writer in the Garden gives the following
experience in regard to the after treatment Of
Dutch bulbs that have first be N Lloomed in
pots: "We annually plant our hyacinths i'll
herbaceous borders after they have bloomed
the first year in pots. They are placed in
sandy soil, such as refuse from the pott ng
shed, or anything containing plenty OF sand
because our soil is of a tiff, retentive charac-
ter. We plant the bulbs from three inches to
four inches deep. The following season they
produce good spikes of bloom. and annually
afterward they bloom equally well, and make
an effective snow in the borders in spring
Some of them have now been in the same posi-
ton five years, and are quite as good, perhaps
a little better, than when first planted, since
which they have not been disturbed ! do
not think that anything is gained by lifting
bulbs, such as tulips, narcissi, jonquils,
crocuses, etc, in the same way, and they all
produce blooms which are useful" No doubt
much of the deterioration of Dubious PLAINS
in the open ground at er a few years is due
10 their disturbance at unreasonable times

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.

There was large crowd at the fair, last
night, although the attendance was not
quite as large as on the previous night, nor
was the voting SO lively. In this connection
it is proper to say that the contestants have
reserved their ammunition for tonight. This
will be the last night of the fair, and the
indications are that there will be an interest
ing time and lively contest at tho polls.
As tonight will also decide who draws the
various prizes this will intensity the interest.
Among the visitors at the fair last night was
Mr.. ". G.. Deacey, of Boston.
who contributed several dollars to the
receipts. All the little girls and ladies in
the church beseiged Mr.. Deacey with their
books, and none went away empty handed.
Mr.. G. w. Gorton, of the stock firm OF
Gorton Bros, of Harper county, also took
in the fair, and contributed to the funds.
Tonight will be the biggest of all, and
nobody should miss the fun. Following is

A BIG OCCASION
One Thousand Representative
Men of Kansas to be
Our Guests.
The Fifth Annual Encampment of the
Department of Kansas Of the
Grand Army of the Repub-
lie in Wichita.

The general order of Department Com
mander Stewart, published this morning,
while of state wide interest, more deeply
concerns Wichita, as city, tnan it does any
other single locality. In one month from
to-day there will be gathered here from
every city and town in Kansas eight hun
bred or more representative men, who will
be with us from two TO three days. For the
same date the president of the Woman's
Relief Corps of the state, and the colonel OF
the Kansas Division of the Sons Of Veterans
have signifed their intention of converting
the annual meetings Of their respective or
CARNATIONS here in Wichita. These will still
add other hundreds. These representatives
constitute, or are of, the most energetic class
Of their respective towns and communities,
who will come with their eyes and ears open
TO visit the busiest town in the state for the
first time, and the opportunity should not
be lost, but the occasion utilized not
only to impress them with our life
and business, with our enterprise and won
de,ful growth, but with the fact that We are
people socially and intellectually worthy
such environments. Notwithstanding the
fact that Wichita does more business than
any city in Kansas, our location with refer
ence to the older settled portion of the state
has been such that no state organization of
SO widely representative character has
ever held an annual meeting at this point
heretofore, consequently but few, COMPARE
lively, of the leading men Of Kansas know
what Wichita is really like, or understand
or appreciate, in truth, that it is such a
splendid young city as is shown by cold
statistical figures. We hope, therefore, that
the weather may not only prove propitious,
but that our people will not forget the oeca-
sion and its importance, and that they will
be prepared to put their best foot forward.
As for the members of the G. A. r.. which
is very strong organization in this city, we
know they will leave no effort untried or
unexpended to make the Fifth Annual En-
campment not only "a state OCCASION" but
one long to be remembered by the hosts of
veterans who will be our guests thirty days
hence

sentaiives in every town and county in
southwest Kansas. Here we have two of the
most solid business men OF our city uniting
teams for larger field, two men in the
same lie, but who haYe been in business
since the earliest days, and who, therefore,
are not only thoroughly posted as to the
trade and its demands, but who are SO solid
financially that rot dollars worth of stock
but what Will be paid for, down in cash,
before the goods are shipped from manu-
facturers and importers. Both of these
houses for some time have been doing con-
siderable business in the jobb;ng line. which
has grown SO fast upon them as 10 fully
warrant the steps resolved upon. The
EAGLE extends its hes: wishes for its old
tim e friends.
