HON. ROBT. e. LAWRENCE ON
FAIR GROUNDS.
A Proposition to the Directors Of thu
County Association.

70 the Editor Of the Eagle.
lnotice you invite propositi ons for
new grounds for an Agricultural So
ciety. Many people think the present
grounds too small, the ground too
sandy and too much waste land, not
accessible to railroads, etc, ETC..
Without expressing any opinion as
to these reports, ! wish TO make pro-
position through your columns, 10 the
stock holders and patrons generally OF
the aforementioned society. offer
for the next thirty days plat OF
ground, forty TO sixty acres as de-
sired, one mile west of the Arkans as
river bridge for 1925 per acre. This
ground is high and dry, no sand, the
best possible soil to form good track
upon, firm and elastic. The ground
is between the Frisco and Santa Fe
railroads known as the Wichita and
Western on one side and the Fort
Scott and Eagle Line on the other.
thus giving admin able railroad facil.
tiles for all roads now leading into
Wichita. No doubt these roads
would build platforms and switches
at the grounds and in Fair time run
trains from the city 10 the fair every
half hour carrying passengers for a
nominal sum, say ten or fifteen cents
This land is only one-four;h of mile
from the city limits on the best road
leading into the city, and is in
the opinion of all who have examined
the location just the place to hold a
big district fair. The present build
ings would only have 10 be moved
one-half to three quarters of a mile,
and could be done with very little ex-
pense. Now, it seems as if such rail-
road communication must obviate all
complaint of haviEg to cross the river,
and no stakeholder could have reason
to complain of such a change. as the
stock has been subscribed with the
understanding and knowledge that the
ground was located west of the river
Upon the other hand, if the decision
Is to go east of the river it is certainly
unjust to those who happen to live on
this side. Should the society decide
to go on the east side, believe it is
the universal desire of those on the
west side that the society disband,
pay up the debts and divide the bal
ance among the stockholders, and
then organize anew. This, in my judg-
ment, would be the only equitable
course, so all who went into the new
society would know just what they
were doing. | mi ghf say in conclusion
that this ground that | offer to the so,
ciety is more than one mile nearer the
corner of Douglas avenue and Main
street than any other location offered
to the society. | will hold this offer
open until the annual meeting in
April and let Stockholders and Others
interested examine these grounds and
act intelligently.
Very respectfully,
II +. LAWRENCE

GAR. ENCAMPMENr.

A happy lot OF old soldiers. made
young again by the thoughts of old
times, stood upon the Santa Fe depot
platform yesterday waiting for the
west bound train to arrive, which was
to take them TO Wichita, TO take part
in the state encampment TO be held
there to-day and tomorrow. They
were accompanied by the Knights
Templar band, and left with flying
colors. Many battle will be fought
over again by these hearty old veter-
ans who would spring their arms
again tomorrow, were they called.

THE RESULT,

One of the last acIs OF The stare leg
islature before its adjournment was
the passage of an act designed 10 ben
eft the poor men.
Be il enacted by the legis ature of the
state IF ksn>ss:
SECTION That the wages of any
laboi er, mechanic or any other person
resident of this state. who earns his
livelihood by manual labor or daily
toll, shall be and is absolutely exempt
from all process of garnishment or
attachments except in Case of fraud.
SEC. 2. All acts and parts of acts in
conflict with the provisions of this act
be and The same are herey repealed.
The legitimate result of that law will
be sgsinst the man il was intended to
benefit largely. The creditor will be
inclined to deny trusting men whom
otherwise he would accommodate.

marked change in the appearance or the
stock market from that of yesterday. the ex-
tr8o .dnary activity disappearing and the
wild desire to sell giving way to at least an
appearance OF renewed confidence. which IN
creased as the day advanced. One factor in
producing this result was the increasing use
of money, the high prices being looked upon
as the result of manipulation, though the
advance in the bank of England of discount
is expected to check in measure the flow of
gold to this country. The
DISPOSITION TO SELL
was manifest in the early morning, and, after
a strong opening in sympathy with the higher
London figures, the Improvement was lost, the
dealings being very feverish. The slight
pressure to sell, however, soon gave way to
more confident buying, in which the more
substantial stocks were conspicuous. The
Vanderblts, coal stocks and Louisville q
Nashville soon showed marked Improvement.
Later on, when the buying had become gen.
eral. the sharks became alarmed at the STU
alton and in the last hour heavy covering ran
the days total up to large figures, and the
best prices of the day were made in the last
ten minutes. London bought Lake Shore and
Erie as we'll as Reading. Boston houses were
buyers OF Union Pacific. The opening was
comparatively quiet, but strong advances
over last evenings final figures, ranging up
to IL per cent. Heavy selling, however, in
the first ten minutes broke Lac savanna per
cent. and the early gains were generally lost.
The tendency
CONTINUED FEvERISH
though toward noon there was q renewed de-
cline, which was finally checked toward 1890.
The market thereafter gained strength stead
lily on an increased volume of business, the
entire list showing in the advance. The last
hour saw q marked increase in the business
done as well rs a more decided upward move
ment, and the market closed strong at about
the pest figures reached. Sales, .260 shares.
