HURRY UP THERE!
BRING IN YOUR SAMPLES OF SEDG-
WICK COUNTY PRODUCTS
For the Cincinnati Centennial EX-
position Before Friday OF This
Week---a Excellent Show
ing to be Made.

The time is rapidly approaching when
the exhibition to be made by Wichita,
Sedgwick county and southern Kansas az
the Cincinnati centennial celebration OF
the settlement of the Ohio valley must be
forwarded to that city to be placed III po-
sition for the opening. which takes place
on July 18th. only two weeks from day af-
ter tomorrow, In view of this fact the
Committee appointed by the beard of trade
has decidee that the exhibit will have to
be shipped, not later than the last OF this
week, and in order to be properly arranged
and displayed to advantage everything
must be delivered to the committee at the
board of trade rooms not later than Fri
day. 1t is anxiously desired that this dis
play be of as general a character as posi-
bic, in order to show the great diversity OF
crops OF which this section of the state is
such a marvellous producer, and also that
the committee may have as great variety
as can lie obtained. from which to make
their selections.
So far the samples received indicate that
the display can lie made the most compre-
hensiVe and attractive ever presented at
any exposition, bat they are lacking in va
rieties and quantity, Any farmer or citi-
zen of this city, Sedgwick or adjoining
counties, who has any good samples of any
sort or sorts Of grains, grasses, woods,
minerals, stuffed native animals (or BIRDS
fruits, raw or in jars, any manu-
featured products, or III fact anything,
natural or artificial, which VIII add to the
display to be made, should at once bring it
to the committee.
There is no time to be lost and for lack
of proper interest, on the part OF those TO
be most benefited and not at all taxed to
contribute TO the expense OF the display, 1t
would be a burning disgrace for such an
opportunity to be not properly improved.
This display viii be given very promi-
nent place near one OF the main entrances,
on the first floor. In fact, it is the only
state display to be made on that floor.
AIr H L. Pierce, OF this city, has been en-
gagged to go to Cincinnati with the display.
The arrangement viii be under his per-
sonal supervision and according to his well
known artistic and unique ideas. He will
also remain during the entire two months
Of the exposition 0 answer the innumera-
bic questions of the multitudes, anxious to
learn more of wonderful Kansas. Let
every one hurry along now, with large
ond representative sample Of what he may
wish TO have exhibited and the same will
be properly placed and duly accredited.
Attach securely to each sample or article,
a plainly written card, with the name of
tie article, also from whom and whence it

THE CHIEF oFBURKES.

To E. NJ Metcah, of the Edmund Burke
Literary Society, who won first prize in the
Oratorical contest among the literary so
cleties of Garfield University.
To you, our champion strong ana bold,
OF metal true and tried as gold,
We give the wreathed laurel crown;
Reward for victory bravely won.
Where rallying hosts their battle crys did
peal,
Where warriors clad in helmet sword and
shield,
Did hasten to tn embattled plain,
TO strike, to slaughter and be slain.
The Burkes, with emulation fired apace,
Swift fly to enter on the race:
Determined in the strife so nigh,
Victory to gain or die.
But who their banner shall uphold
Who: Who of such grand mold.
As he commissioned TO uphold the staff,
Our dashing daring Milt Metcalf.
And now the sound of preparation fills
the air,
Knights taking counsel of their fair,
Who fain would chase away despair,
And make their burdens easier to bear.
Swords, shields and buckles FURNISHED
bright,
Flash radiance in the silver light.
The hosts advance, the shock is heard,
The trembling earth to center stirred,
While far and near the echoes flying
Mingle with yells and groans of the dying.
Dense shadows close around the field,
The conflicts heard but not revealed.
While dark, impenetrable riffs
Of smoke across the meadow drifts.
Within those shades no eye could pierce,
The battle ragged both strong and fierce,
As sweeping, surging to and fro,
The tide Of war did ebb and flow.
The fearful din subsidies at last.
The terrors of the fight are passed.
The shadows lifting from the field
The devastation stands revealed.
Oh, where are they the warriors strong,
So justly famed in speech and song!
Where, o, gentle reader? Fled,
Save one still watching Der the dead.
And who is ne, the unconQuercd one
Who dared to fight but scorned to run?
He is the champion of the Burkes
Who put to flight the valiant Percs.
And so we hail thee chief Of AL
That band which none can cen enthrau;
The vict'ry ours must ever be
So long as we are led by thee.

section of six cars. containing the Republi-
can clubs and the Flambeau club OF that
city was added to the train.
The Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe each
took out handsomely decorated and well
loaded trains from Wichita and the towns
to the south and west of here. Without
any doubt Wichita sent to Chicago more
people than did any other city of 10000 in
habitants. But then Wichitans, and es-
peciaily Wichita Republicans, never do
anything by halves, and this fall will see
Wichita and Sedgwick county roll up their
old time Republican majorities.
