THE GREAT FAIR,

Next Monday morning will be the be-
ginning of the greatest fair that was ever
attempted in the state of Kansas. Wichita
viii pur on her holiday garb, throw her
hospitable doors open to the great empire
Of the southwest and will make merry for
i've days. Thousands Of people are com
ing this way from all parts of the world 20
enter the Cherokee strip and in order 30
have proper conception OF the wonderful
resources of the southwest they should,
and doubtless will, come to the Wichita
fair. where the products of the Arkansas
valley will be exhibited in all their ex-
huberance. When products are mentioned
1t must be remember that fast horses
are among them. Not ouly will they
see the products OF the southwest,
but they will have an opportunity
to see all the facinating beauty of western
civilization and study the wonderful enter
prise characteristic of Wichita and
peculiar TO this climate Of the great south
west 10 say that the coming fair will be
the greatest ever attempted Is no idle
boast as everybody knows who are aware
OF the plans and purposes of the fair as
ISOLATION. Nobody should allow himself
to be deceived about the character of the
fair on account of the cyy of hard times
Inc Peerless Princess always maintains
stIH upper lip, to use vulgar expression,
and if she had only 81 left she would spend
1t In ali the gorgeous style for which she
Is noted. But Wichita has millions of
dollars and pluck in proportion and will
not give a trifing fair because
Wall street and the other old fogy places
ara bowling hard times. The fair
Is backed by nearly go of the weaithiest
men in Sedgwick county-men whose
genius and enterprise made the greatest
municipality in the state of Kansas, and
men who are willing to stake their money
and reputation to make the greatest fair
ever witnessed in the great commonwealth
of Kansas.
The Wichita fair will not interfere with
the opening of the Cherokee strip. No,
not ali. On the contrary it will give every
homeseeker along the southern border an
opportunity to enjoy himself for few
days, before entering upon the trials.
the hardships and privatious Incl
dent to establishing home on
the rolling fertile prairies of the new
country. When the fair is over on the
18th all Wichita will accompany the
homeseekers to the border, give them
hearty farewell at noon on the 18th and
then return home to prepare TO sell them
goods at 10 per cent cheaper than any
other commercial center in the country.
Confidence is now restoring itself auto
matlcally and everybody in the southwest
can afford TO give up day or two to re-
freshing enjoyment after the hard mental
strain of the past three months. Wichita
Is more generous than ever now when
fortune is especially favorable to her in
causing the opening of the Cherokee
strip, and those who come to
our fair will be treated Hospitality
and will be enabled to have fun for less
than ever before. Instead of this fair be-
ing a money-making scheme, it is really
as great big treat to the peo-
pie Of the south invest and it will not cost
fortune to enjoy it thoroughly. All the
privileges usually accorded TO visitors have
been reduced in cost and the amuse-
ments correspondiugly increased. It will
be a continuous holiday for five DAYS aud
nobody who has the least spjrir OF
kansan can afford to miss il.
