The Kansas Worlds fair exhil it
has been shipped to Topeka and will
be placed in room in the state
house for exhibition, special quarters
being assigned for that purpose, pro-
badly in q room adjoining the Goss
exhibit Three car loads Of stuff
have already arrived and are await
ing transfer from the yards to the
capitol building. It is the intention
of the board TO turn over the mineral
exhibits to the state, for the present
at least, and that they will be set mp
in the state house. Included in this
exhibit are spelter, zinc, etc, from
southeastern Kansas and the fine dis
play Of building stone prepared by
the state university. The board will
not know for several days whether ii
will have enough money left to issue
the book descriptive OF the part Kar-
sas took in the great fair. II not it
is probable that the executive council
will be asked to add sufficient sum
to provide for the publication OF an
eltion of 10000 copies, so that they
may be distributed throughout the
country.
This section Of Kansas has had
touch Of cold weather during the past
week. Newspaper reports state that
in some sections of the state the peo-
pie are suffering from a lack Of fuel
and food. Some one by the name OF
Willis from Cheyenne county paints
a deplorable picture OF the conditions
in his locality, and says that hundreds
of people are starving and freezing. |
John Walback, who has his family |
there, says that a majority of the peo-
pie have sufficient to eat and q great |
many of them have a surplus. He
says that Willis is working for little
cheap notoriety and is evidently not
posted in thGcounty's true condition.
The Kansas City Stars Topeka CORE
spondent says that no information In
regard to stories of great suffering IN
western Kansas sent out from here
has been received by the governor or
my of the railroad general officials
and western newspapers this week
are equally silent on the subject. In
he northwestern part OF the state
here has been a little snow, but the
weather. has been no more severe in
he western half Of the state than in
he Missouri valley.

iced of proper fire alarm the COM {
,any appointed a committee to wait
lpon our citizens and ask for dona- {
ions for the purchase Of a fire bell. s
ohillipsburg has been very fortunate
d the matter of loss by fire, but
ooner or later will have her turn, ::
nd when it does come the disaster !
Gill be great or small according to !
he celebrity with which the depart
lent turns out, which without q fire :
larm bell will at best be slow, espec-
lilly at night, when the danger is l
reatest. The HERALD hopes that
le citizens will respond literally to y
his call, that is made by the COM
any, It was the desire of the men,
ers of the organization to have the 8
urchase made by the city council, b
ut as the financial condition of the v
-easury precluded this, they very
decided to call on the cit
iens for assistance.
