WHAT ABOUT ITp
The Kansas Worlds Pair Board Addresses
the New Legislature.

SGS:
GENTLEMEN---We have abundant rea-
son to believe that full and creditable
exhibit ON the part Of the state Of Kan
sas at the Columbian exposition is de-
sired by all, and we desire to fully inform
you of the steps that have been taken,
and the present condition Of The work.
A meeting called by the state board Of
agriculture convened and was held in the
city Of Topeka, on the 23d and oath days
Of April, 1891, for the purpose Of devising
plans to have Kansss properly repre-
sented at the Columbian exposition. It
was large and enthusiastic convention,
composed Of prominent farmers, horti-
culturists, stock growers, manufacturers,
mechanics, laborers, educators and scien-
fists from every part Of the state, repre-
senting all of our varied industries, and
every shade Of political opinion.
At this convention a committee con-
sisting Of twenty-one members was
elected and organized as a Bureau Of
Promotion, and vested with general au-
thority to perform every service neces-
sary to accomplish the purpose for which
the movement was inaugurated.
April 80 the Bureau Of Promotion
issued an address ITO the People Of the
State" calling upon each county and
every railroad company operating lines
within the state, to contribute such por-
tion Of the sum Of 100000 as the
assessed value of their property for the
year 1890 bears to the total assessed
value Of the property Of the state for that
year. To raise the allotted sum promptly,
the organization Of county Columbian
associations was recommended, and plans
for such associations were submitted.
In May premiums were offered to en-
courage effort and secure for the exhibit
the best samples Of farm crops produced
in 1891.
The April convention had agreed upon
the 10th day Of June as the day for as
sembling another convention, composed
OF delegates representing the subscribers
to the fund, for the purpose Of electing
permanent board of managers.
The Bureau of Promotion, at their
meeting June 10, finding that sufficient
progress had not been made in securing
subscriptions, postponed the date for
assembling the convention until the 10th
day Of September.
On this latter date the convention met
and elected the present board Of mana
gers, which is composed of eleven mem
bers, being one member for each con-
gressional district, and two members at
large, and two lady members. The
members at large are A. w. Smith, of
Groveland, and F. Wellhouse, Of Fair
mount The district members are: First
district, W. A. Harris; Second district,
r. W. Spar; Third district, E. Fl. Brown;
Fourth district, A. S. Johnson; Fifth dis
trict, W. H. Smith; Sixth district, VIM.
Simpson; Seventh district, D. B. Hill
dreth. The lady members are Mrs. Lewis
Hanback,, Of Topeka, and Mrs. Robt. B.
Of Fort Scott.
Upon the adjournment Of this con-
vention, the Bureau of Promotion sur
rendered to this board Of managers the
books, papers, products and funds on
hand, together with the duty Of continu-
ing the work so well begun.
The premiums offered in May had

the promises made and have not been
sufficient to enable the board to employ
superintendents Of departments, to de-
sign plans for installation, or to collect,
classify and prepare exhibits for pressn
tation, or do many other things, that, il
done, would contribute to the complete
success Of the undertaking.

A report Of the progress Of the work,
with detailed statement showing the
receipts and expenditures, will be made
to the governor Of the state prior to the
meeting Of the legislature.
In view Of the urgent need of money
TO carry on and complete this important
work, SO essential to our material inter-
ests, we are extremely anxious to have
an expression Of your views on the sub
ject. We believe that it is the general
desire and expectation that the state
shall take charge OF the work, making
such an appropriation as shall reimburse
those who have advanced the money to
carry the work 30 far forward, keeping
the state fully abreast with ell and in ad-
vance Of many, and sufficient to fully
complete and maintain such an exhibit
as shall attract the attention of the
world to our unequaled resources and
opportunities.
We think it is universally desired that
this shall be the work Of the state, in
order that the state shall receive the
honor, and that the expense may be
fairly and equally distributed.
We desire as early as possible an ex-
preston OF your views, 80 that no time
may be lost to pushing forward the prep
aration of the exhibits. We meet again
on the 21st Of November, and we beg Of
you to advise US prior to that date.
BY direction Of the board Of managers.

gramme Laid Down.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 11.-lSpe-
cial. bob Fitzsirimons has agreed TO
meet Hall.
The fact that arrangements we're In
progress for tho meeting was wired
yesterday when IL became known that
President Noel had been IN consultation
with the pugilists endeayoring to have
them agree to fight before the Olympic
club in FEBRUARY.
President Noel, Capt, Frank Will
ans and FitzsimmOns met after the
performance Of the heroic blacksmith,
In which the champion is starring and
put their heads together. Fitzsimmons
has been willing TO meet Hall from the
start and only insisted on his opponent
weighing Ia at l5S pounds. This was
the only bar 10 their previous meet
ings, but the officers OF tho club de-
tormined 10 bring the match oil II il
could be arranged. The consultation
continued until after o'clock
this morning when the trio separated
20 meet this afternoon. The meeting
took place and, Fit2simmons signed au
agreement TO fight Hall In this city on
or about February IA. The purse for
the fight is TO be sl5, 900. One thous-
and to the loser. Catch weights was
agreed to by the Australian and the
regulation five ounce gloves were ac-
cepted by him. The club has the right
10 select the referee and official time
keeper and the fighters are to place
deposit OF sl000up TO insure their APP
pearance.
Immediately upon the signature OF
FitzsimmOns being attached TO the
agreement President Noel telegraphed
the details Of the articles TO Hall in
England and is awaiting his reply.
As a consequence Of the match,
should Hall accept the offer, Fitzsim-
mons will cancel his theatrical CON
tract and 90 into active training at
once. He claims that Hall has no eN-
cuse for refusing 10 meet him. Hall
has commended al along that he would
! fight him at catch weights, and this
now having been agreed 10 and SPLEEN
did purse offered he will either have
10 accept or eat CROW.
President Noel makes the announce
ment that II the fight can be arranged,
the club viii offer big purse for mill
between Corbett and Mitchell, and In
event OF this will try to secure another
match between light weights for the
same time. The idea of the club being
TO duplicate Its triple carnival OF pu-
gilism.

Effects OF Salt Upon vhitewssh.

In 1888, in consequence OF the upset
ting of vessel containing kitchen salt,
O workman, in order to conceal the effects
of the accident, brushed up some OF the
spilled salt into his whitewash pail. The
result was the production OF wash as
hard as cement, and which could not be
removed by scrubbing This was due to
the Microscopic action of the salt, which
absorbs water and permits of the speedy
combination OF the lime with the car
bonIc acid Of the atmosphere. A trial OF
this composition upon the brick wall of
well hole or shaft for light-in which
case it was applied with syringe to save
scaffolding-stood extremely well, and
after the lapse of four years the coating
was as good as ever. The use OF three
parts Of qucllime to one OF common
calf is recon mended.

Would you rather buy lamp
chimneys, one a week the year
round, or one that lasts till some
accident breaks it?
Common glass may break or
not the minute you light your
lamp; if not, the first draft may
break it; if not, it may break
from a mere whim.
Tough glass chimneys, Mac
0eth's " Pearl-top" or pearl
glass;" almost never break from
heat, not one in a hundred.
Where can you get it? and
what does it cost?
Your dealer knows where and
how much. 1t costs more than
common glass; and may be, he
thinks tough glass isn't good fol
his business.
