THE DISTRICT FAIR,

The ten thousand premium lists of the
great Southern Kansas District Fair are
now being rapidly distributed, and so
great is the demand for them that it looks
how as If the estimate of 10000 copies will
not be more than half enough TO go round.
| The special premiums, seventy-one in
number, contained in the last twenty
| four pages of the book, are exciting great
| interest all over the district and this re-
minds US a remark made by one of the
( directors in our hearing. It was to the
effect that the people of southern Kansas

minds of the impression that this is only Il
Sedgwick county fair. 1t is essentially
all that we claim for it--a District Fair.

Exhibitors not only from the counties

of that, will all stand on the same footing
and be made welcome alike. There is
nothing small about this association, not

been closed to remove the tabernacle on
the corner of Third street and Topeka
avenue, TO the fair ground, to be utilized
for the display OF fruits, flowers and farm
products. A new band stand will be
erected across the track from the grand
stand. This has been long-felt want and

Butler with twenty fast horses from the

unique entertainments during the week,
one of which will be ten mile race by
ladies, changing horses each mile in front |
of the grand stand. A representative of
Ben Hur in the chariot race will be one of
the features OF children's day. Other
great attractions for this, the greatest fair |

The strikers chose Victor as their spokes-
man, and marched down to the office for a
conference. When the colonel saw his
hopeful son as the leader of the mutineers,

representations. her vacant houses have
/ been favorite theme for such writers
/ and communities as would rejoice over

/ That we have never been slow to admit
/ the mistakes for which we have rightly

/ place in the upbuilding and development
of the city. Among the things done TO our
disadvantage we built too many houses in
outlying additions; built them for specu-
latlon and not for natural need or de

built and not builded where they would
be desired when needed, operated to infiu-
ence Generalization of rents and to dis

But the time has now come when
we can happily write, with a confidence
based on 4 knowledge of pertinent and re-
lative facts, that this wiuter will find no
vacant houses in Wichita that are habi-

and not the result OF any special effort TO
induce immigration. What brings these
people to Wichita if it is not confidence in
