Colonel B. H. Campbell-The District
fair to be held here this fan promises TO be
one of the best ever held in Kansas The
officers and directors Of the association
have been hard at work for months and
the results are very satisfactory. There Is
no reason why this should not be the best
fair held in the state this year. The bust
ness men of Wichita ought TO offer special
premiums, as it would create a greater in
terest in the displays. Some business
houses have promised very handsome
premiums and the example should be fol
lowed by all lines Of business. / think the
fair viii be big thing for Wichita and for
the southwest and hope our people will see
the Importance Of doing all they can to

John Miltner, grain dealer-The low
price of grain last fall and winter, com
bined with car famine during the time
when farmers had time to haul their
grain, has left an unusual amount of corn
on hand and it is not an unusual thing
for farmer TO have half of last years
crop on hand. Wheat harvest has COM
menced in earnest and 1t promises to be a
very good grade of wheat. The fields III
Sedgwick county and west of it promise
better than Cowley and Sumner counties,
although their large acreage will give
them an immense amount of wheat. \
good many farmers have been trying dur
ing the past week to contract new wheat.

should not be surprised if the mills made
flour from new wheat during this month.

drove him Il mile in 81, one quarter in

Thomas Satchwell, somewhat eccen-
trio middle aged man, who comes from
Woodbury.. but has been In the Hook for
several months has made himself quite
prominent of late. Until the Mantle
mills shut down, he was employed there,
but has since been out of work. He still
boards with Andrew Collins of Gas
street and has complained, for several
weeks, of II severe pain in his head, as if
the top of his skull and his brain were
scared with red hot iron. He has often
expressed decided antipathy to doctors
and lawyers, especially the former. He
has recently spent considerable time
searching fora grand juror, wishing, it
IL said, to make complaint of those who
had leased aud irritated him. Friday,
about dusk, he went to DIR Richardson's
Office and handed this note to the girl,
Bridget Blake, with iniunctions to deliv-
or il without fail:
To DIR Richartlson-Tuke care how you go -!
THOMAS SATCHwELL.
As DIR Richardson did not know the
man at all, he paid no attention, suppos-
ing it the vagary of a disordered brain
About ii o'clock that night, however, a
stone as large as mans fist was thrown
forcibly against the east side of the doc
tors house, presumably by Satchwell.
Jack Mcnamara and Leslie Constantine,
who were near the house, searched I'M
successfully for the bombarder. Satch-
well is said to have been seen around the
rear of the doctors house once or twice
since. Tuesday, he came to DIR Smith of
Newtewn street for treatment and COM
plained of the incessant pain in his head.
While Satchwell Is probably not danger
~us, DIR Richardson has requested Select
IMAM Glover to look into the matter.
