THE STATE FAIR.
Prospects Bright For Great Fair
A Few Solid Facts.

Prospects Bright For Great Fair
A Few Solid Facts.
The eighth annual exhibition of the
Kansas State Fair association will be
held on their handsome and spacious
grounds in Topeka. commencing on
Friday, September Goth. The outlook
is brighter than for many years past,
and every indication points to most
successful fair in every way.
The premium list this year is I'M
usually large and calculated to attract
visitors from all parts of the county.
Our state fair has heretofore labored
under disadvantage in not having
fixed special days for the arrangement
of the exhibits in the various depart
ments. But six days have been in
Guided in the fair dates, and two of
these were always used to put things
in shape to show. The saw and ham
mer greeted the visitors ears on every
hand until Wednesday morning; moth
ing was completed, and it was conse-
quently unsatisfactory to both the
management and the visitor. To over
come this difficulty, it is proposed to
set apart two days before the fair for
the preparation of all exhibits. For
this purpose Friday and Saturday, Sep
TENDER 18th and 18th, are made special
preparation days, and on those days
the gates will be opened to exhibitors
and their assistants only, for the ar
rangemenJ of their displays. The fair
proper will open to the public on Mon
day, September 18th, at o'clock, and
continue six days. 1t is expected that
everything entered for display or COM
petition will be in place by o'clock a.
m. Monday, ready for exhibition.
In the matter Of transportation the
arrangements are very complete and
there is every reason to believe that in
point of attendance and in the extent
of the exhibits, the coming fair will
surpass anything of the kind hereto
fore witnessed in this state.

Badly Scalded.

The Enterprise Independent says
that Hon. C. d. Hoffman was badly
injured while working with some steam
pipes. O. B. was in the action of turn
ing on the steam to start the pump.
but did not open the escape cocks to
let the water out of the cylinder. The
water and steam were bound to escape
somewhere, and when the steam jest
was forced to its full capacity, it gave
way and the whole volume of steam
and hot water struck Mr.. Hoffman full
in the face and chest. He is confined
to his room and will not be able to be
out for some time yet.

-Geary county also had an alliance
convention Saturday. The result was
the nomination of ticket almost Who'll

we're not union labor men enough to go
round. The dispatches say that "The
convention was strongly democratic.
There is a considerable dissatisfaction
manifested among both republican and
democratic members of the alliance.
The general impression is that the ALI

When editors are seized by the terrible

Two singular condolences are
noted as having occurred in twelve
months in Abilene. When the Saliva

wearing jewelry and of course would
not put on any, was here, jewelry was
stolen almost every night. Now WREN

who preach against providing for
oneself thinking the Lord will do it, a
wholesale wall is going up from the
northeast part of town over the loss of
chickens, many fowls being taken
every night. The people of that sec
tion are up in arms and propose to tar
and feather the first chicken thief
captured.

For those who do not care to return
as soon as August 25th, joint agency
for the extension of tickets has been
established in Boston, and those apply
ing to this joint agency may have their
tickets extended until september 30th,
The Union Pacific is in every way
the most desirable route for comrades
to take who are going to the encamp-
ment. 1t not only operates the finest
vestibuled trains, consisting of mag
nificent Pullman Palace Sleepers, Free
Reclining Chair car and Pullman colo
mist sleepers, but runs on fast time
and makes close connection in Uniou
depots with all eastern lines.
Another feature to be considered is
the fact that baggage can be checked
through from starting point to destina.
ton, thus avoid the annoyance of re-
checking at the Missouri river.

humorous in his selection for he is GER

rests on his being Knight of Labor.

PEOPLES PARTY PLANS.
COUNTY TICKET NOMINATED IN
CONVENTION.
A Ticket at Last Nominated Peck
and Anderson Stand No Chance
Union Laborites Predominant as
Anticipated.

The much talked Of county cOnven-
ton of the peoples party was held in
Smiths hall Saturday commencing at
high noon. The work of the meeting
was only to count the ballots cast Tor
the candidates for each Office and sent
in by each sub alliance and announce
the result, the ones having the highest
votes being declared the nominee.
The deliberations were in solemn
and secret cOnclave, of course, no out
side eyes being allowed to profane the
proceedings. The count must have
been a laborious one for it was three
o'clock before the task was completed
and the ticket was known.
1t transpired exactly as anticipated
and predicted by the REFLECTOR that
the union labOrites and democrats ma
nipulated the nominations to their ad-
vantage and carried a majority of the
ticket. For the most part the straight
forward republicans who were before
the members for nomination were over
whelmingly defeated and it was only
by a slender majority that any former
republicans were placed on the ticket.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES,.
For representative in the north dis
trict Hiram Harvey was chosen. Mr..
Harvey has been one of the most con-
servative members of the alliance. He
was hard pushed for the nomination by
T. D. Rice and John Marts.
In the seth district Rev. Samuel
Palmer, of Newbern, was nominated
over NJ. Sem and Hon j. w Gibson.
Palmer ran for the same Office eight
years ago on the alliance ticket and
was defeated by C. b. Hoffman. Mr..
Gibson stood no chance at all owing to
the fact that he is a staunch republi-
can.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.

The county attorneyship caused con-
siderable discussion. 1t is understood
that deep-laid plot had been con-
cocted by some of the alliance men in
favor of a certain republican attorney
for the position.

B. G.. Cranston was chosen. Grams
