the most important positions within
the bestowal Of the state convention
IL that Of state superintendent Of

have been presented. There ia one
man the people Of this portion OF
Kansas would be pleased to see nom

Bishop. That the Professor il a
candidate in the strict sense Of the
term we are not prepared 10 say.
We find by cOnversing with him that
he has been solicited by persons con-
spieuOus in educational fields In
different parts Of the state to be
candidate before the state eOnven-

course, II any, and il he is finally
induced to make the race with
the assistance Of his friends
Il will be such a one a. will be re-

tive from the county society 20 the
Kansas Grand Circuit Association

aud adopted.
A communication from J. w.
Hartzell, secretary Of the circuit
association, Of Wichita, was read.
Il made known to the county society
the action Of the Wichita meeting
In designating the circuit meeting ct
Salina from September 3 to D, etc.
On motion, Il was voted that the
Saline county fair association be-
come q member Of said Kansas

member Of the executive committee

citation frOmthe Saline county fair
association, a. provided in resolu-
ton Of a former meeting.
The secretary was directed TO COM
pile for publication in the news
papers a report Of receipts and ex-
penditures from general sources

mittee of Anderson, Supple and
Price, made a verbal report Of the
conference held with the board OF
county commissions within the
past few days concerning the cree
ton Of an amphitheater building Oh
the county fair grounds.
The commissioner had expressed
their friendship for the projected
measure but by reason Of the guam
tity Of business on hand they
would be unable to act at the pres
ent session, but would bring the
subject up at the July meeting.
The special committee consisting
Of Supple, Anderson aud Price was
instructed to have plans drafted fol-
an aInphitheater, to cost $1,000, and
to have the same presented to the
county commissioners at their next
meeting.
Mr.. Bone suggested that the amphi-
theater run north from the wesI
entrance al the center, with booths
underneath.
Mr.. Powers was in favor Of the
building coming not nearer the gate
than fifty feet, as there was 9 neral
~ large collection Of persons about
the gate during the continuance OF
the fair, which circumstance I'M
peded passage OF vehicles and horses
by the gate.

instructed to sign the contract by

Not less than $500 for a free-fOr-all
raee, nor less than $500 Tor S-min-
ute race can be offered under the
rules Of the circuit association, but
beyond this the county society is
msinly at liberty to make its own
rules. The advantage Of the circuit
is that the races become a circuit
matter rather than a county matter,
and the success Of the races il assur-
ed from the start.

Of the :. l.. & 7. resident here, urg-
ing cooperation with them for the
purpose of securing the building oil
the r. /. northwest from Sallna
through Lincoln and Osborne. Our
Osborne friends seem to be better
satisfied than many Of our own peO-
ple that the II. I. can be induced to
build over this route.
The facts are, there has never been
time from the first brOaching OF

not been good reasOng for suppOsing
that when the Rock Island hsd i'm
ished its numerous extensions IN
