Sockless Jerry Coming.

The fair association has arranged for
as many drawing novelties as possible
for next weeks exhibitions. There
will be balloon asoensions, sideshows
and last but not least Kansas clown,
Jerry Simpson, who has been engaged
to appear in his highly humorous and
excruciatlngly ridiculous farce-comedy
Of .!The Calamity Shrieker; or, A
Poverty Plea That Pays Me-" Jerry
has never been to Abilene; we do not
know that there is any crying demand
for him to come, but like all freaks he
will attract more or less attention.
He is warranted to give a straight,
peoples patty, political, calamity
speech. That is what he is coming for
that and $50 and expenses. He will
be here on the oath and is warranted
to exhibit his usual program of cheap
wit and high and lofty political tumb-
ling,

ST. LOUIS, Sept 16.-In accordance
with the circular letter sent out by y.
S. Hall about 200 delegates, composing
the anti-sub-treasury convention, as

They at once repaired to the committee
room and proceeded with their duties
Hon. Dick Dalton, of Rails county,
addressed the convention He asserted
that so per cent of the alliance people
of Missouri were opposed to the land
and sub-treasury scheme. 1--WE must
not allow politics to permeate our
ranks" said he, ''but must follow our
own doctrines"
II. W. Murray, secretary of the al
lance for the state of Texas, followed
Mr.. Dalton, and said: 81 come from
that great country where lives that
great statesman, r. Q Mills" This
assertion was greeted with loud and
continued cheers
At this junction the committee on
credentials made its report The
temporary organization was then made
permanent and a committee on reso-
lions appointed Missouri was given
two out of seven votes on this commit
tee.
w. S. McClintock took the chair while
U. S. Hall expounded his views on the
appointment of the committee on order
of business. He favored permanent
organization and hoped the convention
would put its foot on political move
ments in the good old time way and
expunge all ideas detrimental 70 the
farmer. Considerable discussion, in
terspersed with frequent cheers, was
INDUCED in when John J. Hall, of Mis-
souri,, rose and stated that if the COM
mittee on organization reported reso-
luton for separate organization Of
the body from that of the national OF
ganization, he would take his creden-
tials and 60 home
The afternoon session was called to

STATE G. A. r. REUNION.
Ellsworth to Entertain the Veterans
This Year.

his ear
An order was made by the dept.
commander of the G.. a, r. shortly
after the state encampment at Win
field, in 1888, saying, "The state reun-
ions will be held alternately at Topeka
and Ellsworth beginning with Topeka
in 1888, Ellsworth 1885, ETC."
In 1889 Ellsworth held the state
reunion and all who attended said
reunion can testify AS to its success.
The reunion will be held there this
year Oct. 9th to 9th inclusive. The
grounds are in good shape. They are
under the control of Ben Pagan who,
by the way, was the chief actor in the
reunion of 1889, and the success of that
reunion was largely due to his efforts.
There is on the grounds, built by the
state, a huge auditorium, which will
seat 6 500 people, headquarters build
ing for the G. A. R., w. R. c., S. of
V. and Daughters of Veterans. There
is also building for the Loyal Legion,
and nice building for headquarters of
the Ladies of the g. A. r., and build
ings for the headquarters of other
organizations.
The spacious dining hall ON tine
grounds will be conducted on the
European plan. You can get a square
meal when you feel like it and 800
persons can be seated at the tables at
one time. ANY information regarding
booth privileges can be had by address
ing Ben Pagan, Ellsworth, Kansas.
A large number from Dickinson
county attended the 1889 reunion, but
a still greater crowd will go this year
and those who do attend will find that
work has been done on the grounds
since last meeting, and that the people
of Ellsworth haYe prolted by expert
ence and will! be able to take care of
any number who may attend. Let
everybody spend at least day there
and see how it is managed.

PUSHING BUSINESS.
Finley & Brewer Making Rapid
Strides Forward.

Strides Forward.
Among the business houses of town
none is doing a more satisfactory bust
ness both for its patrons and itself
than the grocery and dry goods firm of
Finley & Brewer. The gentlemen who
are members of the firm are true
rustlers and their long business exper-
fence has enabled them to give the
people exactly what they want. Fer
tle fall and winter trade they have
bought large invoices of the latest
styles in dry goods of all descriptions
and no one can fail to be satisfied.
Their carpet line has also been re-
plenished with new designs and there
is nothing in that department that
they cannot show. 1t is generally
acknowledged, too, that patrons of this
firm get exactly what they buy and ask
for. No old goods on hand.
Especial attention is given by the
firm to their country trade, butter and
eggs being particularly desired. They
have contracts for large shipments of
eggs and will pay cash or trade for
every dozen brought them and always
the highest prices. They take a pride
in giving their patrons high prices and
want all the eggs and butter produced
in the county. It will pay you to see
them. Their grocery stock is com,
plete.
We take pleasure in commencing
this firm to our readers as its business
methods are such as entitle it to praise.
There is always an earnest effort to
meet the peoples wants and every
thing in stock is up to the times in
quality and design. Before selling
your produces or buying your fall and
winter dry goods or zroce1fes eee them.
