north side of Douglas was awarded to T.
Z. Flower for Portland cement, plain walk.
Contract price 1874 cents per foot.
The contract for constructing sidewalk
as advertised was awarded to DERRICK.
1t was suggested that some of the walk
was unnecessary, when it was suggested
that some one should decide what walk
was necessary. The mayor suggested that
certainly some one outside the council
should take the responsibility.
1t was moved the matter be
left with the city engineer, when
Coffin stated that certainly it was
matter the council should attend to and
not a man outside the council, as it was
unfair to him also. He recalled that the
walk had been ordered by the council and
the council should not seek to avoid any
responsibility.
The matter was settled by instructing
the public improvement committee to
have no unnecessary walk constructed.
The council then went into executive
session to consider some matters relating
to Improvements being made.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.

On Thursday evening, at Garfield hall.
the state campaign will be opened at the
Garfield. The speakers will be the Hon
r. w. Blue. Judge H. G. Sluss and the
Hon. J. r. Burton. 1t will at once be
conceded that at no political meeting held
in the city for some time were there three
more prominent or more able speakers to
handle the questions of the times. There
is no doubt of a crowd as all will want 70
hear them. The only trouble on the part
of the local committee was to get hall
large enough. An effort was made to get
the Crawford but it will be occupied. The
next in size is the Garfield, and should it
be pleasant evening and any ole has the
courage to face the night air, an overflow
meeting may be necessary.

thusiastic crowd of Hoosiers were there
From reports of committees everything
seems to be flying and the prospect of a
grand assembling of IDdianians at the fair
is good. 1t was the expression of the
meeting that all Indianians on the ground
shall come in and make themselves at
home in the Indiana tent. A good pro-
gram is provided for Thursday and Friday
and it is safe TO say the large tent will be
crowded to its fullest capacity. 1t is de-
sired by all members of the society to meet
and greet all Indianians from wheresoever
they come, and a warm welcome will be
waiting for them.
All former Indianians, now residents of
both this city and county, are invited TO
call at once at the office of the county clerk

CLEAN Up.

As the greatest fair that has ever been
held in the state commences next week,
and the city will be crowded with visitors
during the entire week. the streets of the
city should be cleaned up in first-claSs or
der, and the commissioner should be sup
piled with enough men TO do the work;
and the street railway companies should be
requested TO gather up the scattered ties
and rails of their old roads which are lying
along the bitches in front of some of the
houses In some of the best resident streets
in the city. They not only destroy the
beauty of the street but are an intolerable
nuisance upon the whole. Let all join in
with a hearty good will. during this week.
and clean up-Our streets and lawns-and
make our city look just as nice and invit-
ing TO the thousands who will visit US

THE FAIR WORK.
business Houses Sending Their Friends Com.
piimentary Tickets-The Great 2:2O Stake
Race-Activiiy at the Grounds.

On Sunday evening Burton stock car
occupied by horses, reached the city from
the Topeka fair. They were Ashland

stock farm; Oracle w, belonging to Geo.
Wolf of Topeka; Bessie and Russie Young,
belonging to A. c. Stewart of Webb City,
Mo-; Marquis Condo, Belle and Ed Wilkes,
belonging to j. p Stomroad of Denver.
Ed. Wilkes was lame in the coffin joint
from an accident received while on the car.
The entries came in quite rapidly yester-
day and there was increased activity
around the fair headquarters at the clerk S
Office AS a sample OF the treat on hand it
may be observed that the nominations made
in the 2:20 stake to be trotted Thursday
consists of Jessie Gaines, 2:15K; Walter F.
2lSH; Joe Young, 2:191S; Condo, 2:20; Ash
land Wilkes, 2:22 AS will be observed by
all horsemen in this part of the west this
gives promise of the finest contest ever
witnessed in Kansas.
The management is doing everything in
its power to induce the business establish
ments to become interested in the fair.
The wholesale and manufacturing con-
Germs are given tickets at reduced rates for
their friends and many of them are taking
advantage of the offers. The firms can
have at reduction all the tickets they
want and send them out to their
customers this week and this
1t is thought will not only
increase the fair receipts, but will also be
good investment for the business estab-
lishments of the city, In this way they
can reach out all over the southwest down
ha
Northern Texas.
The retail houses will, it is thought, COW
er the county and reach out into the ad-
joining counties and find their commercial
friends.

out neatly printed cards which read as
follows:
AS you have doubtless already been ad-
Ylsed, the Southern Kansas fair dates are

LECTURERS, merchants and farmers an OPP

ridiculous things. These / would like TO
correct. Where I had written about
bringing reserves" nearer home, the COM
positor put it 'reverses changing
the idea entirely.
Again, in speaking of the reserves OF the
west and south being thus kept nearer
home, instead of piling them up in New
York to furnish an immense fund
with which TO accommodate New York
spectators, and thus demoralize the
markets Of the country. l asked would
they not be far more available to such of

than Of kept in New York; The types
said would they not be far more accept
