THE DISTRICT FAIR.

AT no time in the history of SedgwicB
county has there been SO much interest
manifested. as is being manifested at the
present time in the district fair of 1890
When the organization was perfected in
the spring, many were the doubts eX
pressed openly as to its success. The man,
agement, however, was placed in good
hands. and the subdivision of the work
was done with the peculior fitness of each
individual for the work assigned. Now
the results of many weeks of very hard
work is beginning to materialize, and the
success appearing inevitable. Every one
seems to be willing and anxious to do his
or her part TO make assurance doubly sure.
This Is as it should be, and will work to
the advantage OF all. The fact that the
fair district is composed of twelve OF the
hvest counties in the state, each of
which viii be represented in every
department makes the matter of competi-
ton one more worthy the name of exposi-
ton than fair, and insures an exhibit
which can not be equaled by any county,
If at all by the state fair. re past week
has shown great improvement at the
grounds. The track is now completed and
ready for driving upon, and experienced
horsemen who have been here from abroad
TO see what has been done have said that
it was surely record breaker" 1t Is 10
be hoped that this may prove true. for
there IL nothing that would please the as
ISOLATION more than 10 have the strangers
ascertain what is believed TO be fact.
The Art hall is about finished and will be
found to be more complete in its appoint-
ments than ever before. Next week ii is
thought that work upon the other build
ings will be commenced. This, however.
will depend somewhat upon the financial
condition of the association. One of
the first rules laid out by
the secretary and general superin-
tendent was TO make no contracts until
the money was forthcoming. and they
have rigidIy adhered TO it. Up TO date
the work has all been paid for, and the

TIE GROWTH OF THREE YEARS.

In 1887 we had no stock yards with sales
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 per day
We had no packing houses with theil
million dollars invested We had nc
Burton car works with her large pay roll
and million dollar capital We had nc

no Carey hotel with her $50 rooms; we had
no office building like the Zimmerly and
Fletcher blocks, each costing 500, 600; no

Whitlock, Firebaugh, Richland, Palace

academy, the Paramount college. the Gar
field and Wichita universities, the United
States court house and postaffice, ths
county court house, the city hall were not
in existence in 1887, and hundreds of those
four and five story buildings on Main and
Douglas avenue, on Market, Lawrence,
Topeka and Emporia, Williams and First
streets were unknown and unthought of
in 1881. Three thousand home have been
built since 1887, among which are nearly
all of our best residences, which are the

A BIG FESTIVAL OR A BIG RAIN.

The friends of Emporia avenue NJ. f.
church are determined TO have big lawn
festival and open air concert next Wednes-
day night, August g. or big rain. They
have learned by experience that both don't
go together very well, and they will aim
to have only one at time. They will aim
to repeat the entertainment that was in
terrupted two weeks by the big rain storm,
with various improvements and variations,
with the rain left out if possible.
Committees have been appointed to make
all necessary arrangements for the refresh
ment tables, seats, lights, etc, to prepare
a program of entertainment and to receive
and entertain the large number of people
who are expected to be present. Eight or
ten full-grOwn men, with white aprons and
turbans, will wait on the refreshment
tables, and two of the handsOmest young
ladies in the church-One a young widow,
u brunette, but not at all Bash-ful, and
the other a manageable blonde not at all
Payne-ful to look upon-will have charge
of the lemonade stand.
The literary and musical program has
not been fully arranged yet, but among
the prominent features expected are Mr..
j. II. Purdy, the elocutionist; Prof. Camp,
the soloist; MilIhaupt's orchestra and the
Haven-Graham quartette. Other attrac-
tions may be expected At least big
time may be assured, providing, always,
that it don't rain.

BIG WEEKS BUSINESS
In Live Stock, Packing House Products and
Grain.

/ Business at the stock yards during the
week, although not as large as last week,
has been very satisfactory. The hog mar
ket has been active and closes 10 to Is cents
higher than last Saturday. Farmers have
taken courage since the little showers have
commenced coming, and prospects for corn
are so much brighter, and are not crowd
| ing their pigs and thin hogs onto the mar
/ ket. This is certainly very wise move
on their part, as prices on Hog, by Jan
uary |, Will be far in advance of the prices
/ today.
! The cattle trade for the week has been
| very unsatisfactory on account of the small
number of cattle on sale. There has been
and is an active demand for all k inds of
| good cattle and prices are from % to 20
cents higher than a week ago Some of
| the shippers and order buyers have not
done any business on account of the sup
ply being so small They hoped to see a
big run of cattle the coming week The
money value OF live stock handled at the
yards during the week viii aggregate
about sixty-five thousand dollars.
Business at the packing houses has been
pushed to its utmost, and especially so at
the Whitaker plant Their shipments
alone Tor the week are sixty-eight car
loads amounting TO ninety thou
sand dollars. Their orders come
from all parts of the country and come
in as fast or faster than they can cure the
meat to fill them. They export great
dea! of meat, but most of those orders are
executed at the st. Louis house.
Dold reports fair week business and
on for.
products, which they are daily shipping
to different points north east, south and
west. The amount of their shipments for
the week will run from twenty to twenty
five thousand dollars. 1t is fact. and it
is being recognized on all markets where
the products of the Wichita packers go.
that they excel in quality and flavor the
meats cured at some other points and by
other concerns, and therefore the demand
for the Wichita product is increasing
weekly, or it might be said, daily.
j. G. Miltner & Co. report good weeks
business in grain. The City Mills, also
the Hydraulic Milling company, have also
been getting their share of the grain. The
wheat market has been active throughout
the week, and is fully 5 cents higher than
one week ago. Corn has been coming in
slowly, and prices instead of going up
higher as many of the farmers and holders
OF that article have anticipated, has de-
clined fully 2 cents, and the market is
weak at the decline, and the heavy rain
which fell last night is going to help out
the late corn wonderfully. The supply of
oats has been quite liberal and the demand
has been active. There has been no ma
terial change in price. The total amount
of money paid out on this market for grain
during the week is nearly forty-five thous-
and dollars, making grand total of nearly
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars
as the money value of the weeks business
IN live stock, packing house products and
grain

The Chicago Horseman, under date Of
August 81, has a flattering notice of the
meeting. The premium list upon which
much time and care has been spent is
ready for distribution, and any person can
obtain copy by calling upon or address
| ing Secretary McNair 1t is model of
| its kind, and will be generously dis
tributed. The correspondence in the sec
retary's office is simply immense. Letters
are daily received from all parts of Kansas
making inquiries about the fair, as do also
letters from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska and Montana Many
| OF them are in regard to the speed con-
tests, but the great bulk are asking for
general information. During the coming
week, and until notified to the
con6rary, the secretary would be
glad to have the driving public
use the track. 1t will be found in good
condition and if any wish to develop the
trOtting blood in their steeds this will be
an excellent opportunity for them to do so.
Assurances have been received from
number of breeders of fine horses, cattle
and hogs that they will surely be here,
and each will come with an eye on the blue
ribbon. The work of changing the en-.
trance gates, treasurer's Office and drive
ways will probably be delayed until nearer
the time of opening the fair. The electric
railway is hauling material for the pur-
pose Of extending their line to the fair
grounds. When completed the cars will
run to the northeast corner of the grounds,

ceived at the ticket Office.
1t should have been stated in last Sun
days edition that in the matter of special
premiums offered the donors have in
nearly every instance made the COM
petition contingent upon all the product
competing becoming the property of the
fair and by them to be sold, the proceeds
to be given to some charitable institution,
thus it will be seen that many worthy OBJ
jeCts may be accomplished by paUrOnizing
the fair. Let no one miss this opportunity,
1t viii repay you many times to so arrange
matters as TO be able to attend the fair
every day. 1t has been suggested that in
asmuch as Thursday, October 2 has been
designated as Wichita day, it would be in
order to have all business suspended that
day and have everybody attend the fair.
The suggestion is commended to the
proper authorities for their action. The
state headquarters is a feature that is tax
ing Pennsylvania and Ohio have already
secured space and other states will want a
headquarters for their friends. There are
citizens enough from every state in the
union to see that their birth place is prop
erly represented by headquarters.
