Worlds Fair Assets.

Alarms the Managers.

They are Dwindling 10 an Extent that
Alarms the Managers.
The assets of the Worlds Fair are dwin-
ding to an extent that alarms the managers.
When the exposition closed, on October
30, Treasurer Zeeberger had, in round
numbers, 81, 250,0O0 cash in bank. This
has been slipping away, in spite of wl1at
the managers claim is the most economical
management, at the rate of $4,000 day.
But in addition, the assets have been
shrinking in the most unexpected manner.
Discoveries have lately been made, it is
said, which, in any enterprise but the
Worlds Fair would be regarded as sensa-
tional in the extreme. 1t transpires that
large amount of property that the expo
sition managers expected to sell, and with
the funds pay back to stockholders a small
percentage of their contributions, does not
belong to the fair at all, but is owned by
contractors. The contractors are moving
their property away. They are literally
stripping the exposition grounds. How
much will be left when then get through
can only be surmised. In some cases thew
own the roofs of the buildings.

buds all report a fine prospect for an
abundant crop Of all kinds Of fruit
except pears. The blight for the
past two or three years has been
making sad havoc with this one OF
the most valued of our fruits, until
there are comparatively very few
healthy pear trees left, out of the
many thousands that have been
planted in this county. In the dis
cussiOn on pear blight the secretary
said the disease had not made its
appearance among his trees, but he
did not know how soon it might.
His trees were the only ones he
knew Of but what were more or less
damaged. Did not not know why
his trees had not shared the same
fate as Others had, unless it was the
way they had been managed. He
had after the trees were out two
years, the third year and each
season thereafter, headed them in
two or three times during the time
the trees were making the most
vigorous growth, through the
months Of May and June. In this
heading in or cutting back process
two objects were sought, viz: to
make the tree bear as soon as posi-
BILE, and prevent the limbs from
getting too long. Clucking the
growth Of the tree year after year
may have had something to do with
keeping the blight out Of his pear
orchard. A committee of three, G.
H. Fish, A DeTurk and James
Carroll, were appointed, whose duty
will be to look after and have charge
of the fruit that may be contributed
from this county to the Worlds Fair.

j. ID. Share started for New York
last Monday to purchase spring goods
for the large stores of Share Bros.
here and at Harper. The Share Bros.
have been in business in this place
for more than thirteen years and
have built up business to be proud
of. As announced in their advertise
ment last week their volume of
business for last year was in excess of
any previous year. This is accounted
for from the fact that they study the
wants Of our people and are always in
the lead in presenting new and
attractive goods. They do a very
small credit business, and then only
with old and reliable patrons. This
enables them to sell at the lowest
possible prices, their customers get
ting the benefit. They make a
speciality Of the farmers trade, but
can fully satisfy all, both as to
quality and prices. They buy mostly
of the manufactures and importers
direct, and thereby save the middle
mans profit, which has labled them
to establish a reputation for selling
goods lower than Wichita merchants.
and in some cases even those of Kan
saS City. Their manner Of dealing
with all is the most satisfactory yet
devised by successful merchants,
They mark all goods in plain figures
so that one person can buy as safely
and cheap as another. From their
long experience they are enabled to
determine that this springs trade will
be larger than ever before and they
will secure a stock with a view Of
meeting all demands. tastes and
fancies. We commend them to our
host Of readers as honorable, square,
reliable clever gentlemen to deal
with and we beSpeak for them a
continuance of their honorable and
prosperous business career.

Joseph GregsOn was born in Morgan

and died in Sumner county, Kansas,
February 10th, 1893. This highly
hOnOred citizen was married June 18th,
1854. To this happy union were
born five intelligent boys, and three
amiable daughters. The deceased
moved from Fulton county, Indiana.
to Sumner county, Kansas, in the fall
of 1911; pre-empted the farm on
which the family now resides, six
miles southeast of Wellington, Kan
SaS. No more respected citizen
ever lived in this or any other COM

he was admired for his meek and
modest ways by all who knew him,
He was a faithful member of the
church of Christ for over forty years.
He had served his brethren both as a
deacon and elder for several years in
the congregation where he lived. A

We herewith extend our
thanks to the readers of the
VOICE for their liberal patron
age during the past year,
We have been in the Dry
Goods business in Wellington
more than thirteen years and
our sales for the year 1892
were much larger than previ-
Gus years. In the future as in
the past we hope to merit your
patronage by strict attention
to business, by keeping at all
times a we'll assorted stock OF
honest, reliable Dry Goods and
Shoes; by having every article
sold by is exactly as represent
ed; by always having every
article in stock plainly marked
in figures so that a child can
buy at the same price as the
shrewdest man, and so that it
is impossible for a clerk to
take advantage of a customer
if they were so disposed. In
a word to keep such a Dry
Goods Store as any citizen OF
Sumner county may take pride
in showing to his Eastern
friends when they visit the
county.
If at any time you are
tempted to send away for
goods bring your samples and
price list to our store and we
we will guarantee to duplicate
any eastern prices and save
you the freight or express.
If you have never traded
with us give us a trial this
Spring and we believe you will
find it to your interest to give
us at least a part of your pat
ronage.
We are receiving new Spring
goods daily, and in a few
weeks our Spring stock viii be
complete; in the meantime all
Winter goods are being closed
out at greatly reduced prices.
! Again we thank you for pas
favors,
