OFE FOR TOPEKA.

Quite a number left last evening for
Topeka to see President Harrison and at
tend the reunion. The Rock Island pro-
vided a special car for the extra rush and
1t was partially occupied by Caldwell and
Wellington people.
The railroads yesterday reported quite a
good business from the southwest carry
ing people to the reunion. Along the
Santa Fe main line there was quite a rush,
also from the south many coming up from
the Oklahoma country. They seemed to
think that things would be lively in
Topeka for a day, day and half or two
days when the town would again be empty
and the hotels would commence to figure
on some other attraction that would stand
double rates for limited accommodations.

LOST DYNAMOS.

The electric railway company is quite
anxious 10 find out what has become OF
the electric machinery that was coming so
fast a few days ago. The power plant 50

like, fails 10 furnis much power In fact
Manager Fitch has not The courage TO
make any circuit connections or attempt
it without dynamos. He confeSses that he
don't know much about the electric bust
ness and he amt far enough along TO get
electric power out of a brick sufficient
to operate the cars.
The latest news about electrical ma
chinery is that it will be shipped in
few days" This has been the latest for
some weeks, and it Is thought may be tue
latest for some weeks in the future.

AFTER FINE HORSES.

Dir. Samuel Toby of Houston, Tex,
business man there, is spending few days
in the city. He is not exactly crazy on
fast horses, but is lover of speed and
makes the trip up into Kansas fora couple
of fine horses. He observed the other day
that Kansas horses We're making mile
the same day they started and, for some
time, he has been attracted by the Kansas
horses, and says he would rather have a
fine horse from Kansas than from Ken
tucky, owing to the climatic conditions of
Kansas and Texas being more alike than
Texas and Kentucky. He will spend a
day at the Toler farm, also a day at the
Jewett farm, and hopes to be able to find
just the turnout he is looking for Should
he be suited, he says he knows Of a num-
Der of others in his city who will also
place big money in fine driving horses.

ANOTHER CLOCK SIGN.

Some time ago Mr.. Ed. Vail was notified
that the clock for the new county building
had arrived, but it proved to be false
alarm. The next thing authentic on the
subject, a man arrived to place the clock
in the tower. He put in an appearance
yesterday but 50 far the clock has not been
reported at any depot II has been on the
road two weeks and supposed to be coming
slowly, not having arrived by this time 1t
has been suggested that possibly some
Kansas City outfit had removed it from
the car and the clock could now be seen
measuring time in some building in Kan
sas City. 1t is believed they would look
angry to see such clever city indications
coming into Kansas They might through
jealousy conclude to capture it for service
and safe keeping

FAIR FOR THE suUrHwEsr.


There was some talk yesterday about
organizing fair association with financial
ability to 90 at the business with an assur-
ance of being able to meet obligations no
matter what happened The recent exper-
fence was such as TO inspire confidence on
outlook for a district fair. For every dol
lar invested by the present association the
surplus, after meeting all obligations,
shows $149. This is thought to be rather
clever and prof table investment. 1t is not
known yet whether the present association
will declare a dividend and reorganize
completely anew, or whether those having
an interest in the present association will
take stock in a new association and place
in it the money already made in
the fair business as a starter.
The stockholders expect to hold a meet
ing soon and determined what action will
be best suited to the situation and circum-
stances. All seem quite anxious to pro-
coed in some way TO getting up a strong
association. Some favor the whole matter
being placed in the hands of few and
others think it should be a stock company
covering the great southwest. 1t is in
sisted that in this many more people would
be directly interested and more influence
would be secured as a foundation upon
which to make a great success for south
ern Kansas.
1t is believed the great southwest is
quite able TO support and maintain Il big
annual fair. There is enough territory, it
Is rich enough and everything, it is argued,
insists on having a strong association at
some point reached most easily by the
people interested. One phenomenal sue
cess has heen scored at Wichita and this
is supposed to clear up all doubts for the
future on this question. 1t is believed
united effort will be made resulting as no
one doubts in confined success.

Queen Christine OF Spain.

4 prominent Spanish statesman was
asked 10 what he attributed the strange
fact that a woman, and a foreigner, held
the reins of government successfully in
her hands in a country so undermined as
Spain by political intrigue. The marvel,
if II srvel there be- was the reply. can be
explained in the simplest manner
The queen maintains her position be
cause she is the exact opposite Of an in
triguing and conspiring woman. She tells
10 falsehoods, has nothing of the hypo-
critic about her, is as simple and modest
as she is honest, and there is nobody in
Spain who is not convinced that she tries
to do her best for the country. The queens
opularity-especially with the women Of
Spain-is a real power which gives her
much of the hold which she has over her
subjects. Natural tact, intelligence and
kindness are also among the weapons by
which Queen Christine maintains her posi-
ton
