stations in every town or upwards of one
thousand inhabitants IN the northwest
Its communicates with Chicsgo. Boston,
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore, w ash
ington. louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Topeka, st. Paul and other
points. Il assumes its place naturally
amongst other big institutions without
creating any great conflict and sugments
the telegraph business rather than divides
il. I he people telegraph more and 1t cuts
down Uncle Sans postage stamp trade
rather than dividing business with other
telegraph companies. The cost of tele-
graphing IS y cents for twenty-five words
to anv and all points and these messages
will frequently take the place of letter.

A SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES FAIR.
The Organization to BE Completed on the 18th
The EacIe,s Confidence in the he. ".

The directors and officers of the Fair as
sociation met yesterday in the Sedgwick
block to consider the preliminary steps for
the next fair. which will be held in Wich-
ity this coming fall. Before proceeding to
business report which appeared III print
was submitted and called forth resoiu-
tion denying the aspersions cast upon the
management of the last fair.
This detrimental report referred to,
which crept into the EAGLE, was wholly
unauthorized and was read with much re-
gret by the editor. The association did
exactly the right thing in denouncing the
publication in a set resolution. The EAGLE
has the utmost confidence in the manage
ment of the fair, and its editor had
promised the hearty cooperation of the
paper in all effors to make the fair OF 1890
the greatest ever witnessed in the state.
The men who have it in charge are above
suspicion.
The regular order of business be-
ing taken up, motion was offered
to adjourn for two weeks, which prevail
ed. The reasons for this move were sew
eral. 1t had been generally understood
at the last meeting that the Farmers Al
liances would be represented by delegates,
but sufficient time had not been allowed
to hear from them all, and further delay
seemed to be expedient. 1t is the inten-
tion OF the present management that this
shal! be n farmers fair. and no definite
steps will be taken until they have had an
opportunity to be represented On the
board. The next meeting Will be held on
the 18th of this month, and by that time
the alliances can be represented by dele
gates. All persons interested in tie fair
viii also be welcome at this meeting, when
a complete organization will be effected.
The magnitude of the work ahead viii
make a further delay impracticable.
Mr.. B. II. Clover, state president of the
Farmers Alliance will make an effort to
be present, and an invitation will be eN-
tended to the different secretaries in the
adjoining counties
