fish commission, of Washington, d. c., in
a special government car \. 3, came in
from the west via. Missouri Pacific rail

convenience for cooking, the other end is
the parlor and sleeper is fully furnished,
the center is composed of boxes, running
on each side containing 100 cans. contain
ing from sixty to one hundred fish each
the water is changed in these cans every
three hours. Cans in which spring trout
are kept-the water is always in a freez-
ing condition. 1t is very interesting to
listen to MIR Ellis talk on the improve
ments of the fish hatcheries in the last
three years.
Mr.. Ellis stated that any one in Wichita
wishing fish can get them by applying to
state senator and the beauty of 1t is it will
cost nothing.
He had not been in the CITY for three
years and was very much surprised to see
such Improvement and growth. He said

WORKING ON PLANS.

Surveyors are at work on the new
grounds for the fair association The track
is being outlined, different buildings
located and architects are drawing plans
for all buildings. 1t seems that the grand
stand erected by the baseball association
is not suitably located to be used by the
fair association, and it will have to be torn
down. but the lumber and building mate
rial can be used to advantage in some OF
the buildings that will be erected.
The company is getting things arranged
so that work can commence in the early
spring and the grounds and buildings be
in readiness for the fair in the early fall.
1t is the intention of the company
10 have accommodations far superior to
any other association in the state. In do
ing this they recognize that it will take an
outlay of considerable money at the be-
ginning, but there seems no reason TO
doubt that fair in Wichita in the center
of the finest agricultural county in the
world will be a grand success, and pay a
good profit ON large capital.

on \ VACATION.

Mr. John Green, who on Wednesday so
mysteriously lost his hack at the Manhat-
tan hotel, found it yesterday morning near
nine mikes south of the city. The team
and hack were standing in a snow drift
yesterday when they were noticed by a
farmer who proceeded to extricate them.
The work completed, he concluded they
must belong to Wichita and fastened to
nuke a report, driving the team and buck
to the city. Sheriff Hays says he would
not be surprised to hear of some depreda-
tions done down in that country, thinking
that some parties had planned out job
and decided TO 90 down in a hack Others
stated. however. that both horses were
raised On ii farm near where they were
found and so they were standing alone and
having Il chance 10 make visit they
availed themselves Of an opportunity. If
the disappearance Is the wonder of the
horses no one seemed TO criticise them Tor
wanting to trade of hrck life for a vaca-
ton on the farm. Little damage 70 horses

RAPIDLY DEVELOPING.

Mr.. McCiung, of the,shoe factory stated
yesterday that everything is going along
smoothly at the factory and orders increas-
ing daily The plant is now giving en-
ployment to twenty-five hands and the
outlook for trade made it evident to the
company that this force will be increased
considerably in very short time. Two
men have been sent out on the road and are
sending in quite interesting mail. The
correspondence is very interesting to the
company, and in fact 50 much so that
more men will be sent out very soon.
1t is thought that within two months
the employees at the factory will be in
creased TO fifty. The proprietors find that
the territory naturally belonging to Wich-
tia and anxious 10 trade at this point is
much greater than at first calculated.
The increased information on the question
is quite acceptable,

READY For peace AND a DISSOLUTION.

Since the decision of the court on the Ar
kansas Valley fair association question
there has been considerable speculation as
to the future action Of that company. The
decision seems to have done away with the
dissolution, and the company today is a
company the same as before it decided to
quit business.
1t has been the mind of some that the
company would 90 ahead and buy grounds
and start in the fair business again, but
owing to the fact that while in state Of
trying to quit business another associa-
ton was organized, grounds purchased
and work on the same commenced, 1t
would not be policy to start a rival associ-
alton, as one combining ali forces would
be thereby able to give better satisfaction
than two calling out about the same
support This idea in the public mind
seems to cause the majority to conclude
that in some way the old association will
abandon the business and all forces will be
united with the new.
In speaking TO member of the old asso-
citation yesterday, who claimed t" be a de
PENDANT in the late suit, he sale i hear it
has been rumored that we intend to carry
on this litigation to a higher court, think
ing we did not get justice 1t may be true
we did not, according to my own way of
thinking, but am satisfied to abide by
the decision and have matters fixed up
We have squabbled long enough over this
and now let us have peace. ! am in favor
of a dissolution, and taking stock in the
new association. Our company is
visited with such dissatisfaction that it
would be almost utterly impossible for us
to do business TO the best of advantage.
Many people, friends Of the disaffected,
would not give their support to our action,
no matter how meritOriouS our action
should prove. One very important thing,
in fact, permanent thing for the success of
a company, is peace. We have done well,
made money in grounds and in the bust
ness itself, and but to the dissatisfaction
must be credited any desire to cease to be
pity to continuing in business. The
new corporation can do the business, and
if any of us want to continue in this line /
suppose we can get some stock in the
new"
''Then there is no intention on your part
to oppose the newly formed association"
was asked.
mo, none in the least We don't as far
as | am concerned; don't want to oppose
anyone, but all we want to get out of bust
ness, let every fellow get his money in his
own hand and do what he chooses with
