FAIR NOTES.
S. 7. futile OF Caldwell was among the
visitors TO the fair yesterday.
1t took nearly all night for the clerks of
fair 70 count the tickets sold yesterday,
they were so numerous.
DR.. Noble of Pond Greek never misses a
good thing in horse racing He is here
and holds top seat III the grand stand.
Winfield sent fine delegation to the
fair yesterday. They Will remain over till
today TO see Symsoleer III the great con-
test race
DR.. McClees is one of the most enthusi-
astic patrons OF the race course and can
give tips on race that his friends coin into
white metal regularly.
The hose race Saturday between two
companies OF the Wichita fire department.
VIII be an exciting event. For long
time there has been a good deal of rivalry
between the two companies and this will
settle it forever.
Oklahoma has sent fine delegations 20
the fair They are fine fellows and have
made lots of friends here. The fair has
added new link OF friendship TO the chain
which binds Wichita and Oklahoma SO
closely together.
1.-THE novelty running race yesterday was
al interesting feature. Running races are
SO popular with the average crowd that it
is wonder fair associations do not have
more of them on the program. Lulu won
the first quarter and Jetmore the other
three quarters.
The great feature of today's program at
the fair grounds will be the mile contest
between Symboleer and John Carpenter
for 500 IL is very probable that Symbo-
leer will beat the state record, the track
record and Carpenter too, although the
primary object of the pace is TO beat Car
penter. This pacing race will be probably
the greatest attraction Of the fair.

VICTORY AT LAST.
Local Committee on Transportation Have Sc
cured One Fare Rae.


There is great rejoicing among the local
| Odd Fellow lodges of Wichita. The fol-
lowing dispatch TO the chairman of the
| committee explains itself:
KANSAS CITY, Oct. L.
Fred j. Cassit Chairman Of l. o. o. +. Trans porta-
ton Committee:
An open rate of one fare for round trip
has been granted for the meeting of the
grand lodge at Wichita, commencing
Monday, Oct S. This rate will include
| all points i'll Kansas, Oklahoma. Kansas
City aud st. Joe. No. 7. r. BEMAN,
Secretary of Trans Missouri Passenger
Association.
cured rate of one and one-tthrd, but they
| were not satisfied and pressed their suit
further, and after correspondence received
the dispatch given above last night. This
| will insure the coming session of the grand
lodge and assembly of Rebekahs as the
largest ever held in Kansas.
The committee on general arrangements
have been busliy engaged preparing for
the event. and felt certain they had made
arran gements for the care OF all, but with
the victory OF the transportation commit
tees they will make great efforts to see
that all are provided with stopping places.
1t is hoped that the business houses Wi
make suitable arrangements for decora-
ting their places Of business, ard that all
citizens of Wichita will see that Wichita
gives to the members Of the '"Three Links"
in Kansas and Oklahoma warm welcome
TO the city.
The coming meeting Will be the first
session of the grand lodge held in South
ern Kansas for several years. aud aside
from the delegates to the two state meet
lngs, Wichita will be visited by hundreds
of the members of the order who are en-
titled to take the grand lodge degree
These meetings are counted as great
victory for a city as the merchants and
others always reap a big reward from the
extra trade brought to the city. 1t is cal
culated that at the time of the meeting OF
the Grand Lodge of Knights of Phythias
in Wichita that not less than $4,000 was
left with the merchants, hotels and others.
The delegates to the two coming state
meetings will be more than double what
they were at that meeting, and great prep
aratlons are necessary.
AT the state meeting OF the Knights of
Pythias Wichita did herself proud, aud it
Is largely due TO the hospitality shown to
the visitors at that time that the coming
meeting was secured. The EAGLE feels
certain that Wichita will take care of the
thousands who will De in the city next
week
1t is hoped that the press throughout the
state will make mention of the fact of "A
one-fare rate being secured for the meet
ing at Wichita next week, and that all
members of the order throughout the
state viii make arrangements to be on
hand and witness the work eyemplifed bv
members of the order who have a national
reputation.

Fifteen Thousand Persons Partici

Fair-Symboleer viii Do Some
Fine Work Today Against John
Carpenter-It Will be Big Day.

| A crowd OF people estimated at from TO-
| 600 to 1900 persons attended the state fair
| aud races yesterday.
It was the largest crowd ever seen at a
fair in this city and probably the largest
| ever seen in the state.
Ii was Wichita day and nearly all the
grown people turned out. 1t would be a
| big crowd otherwise, for every train from
the surrounding cities was filled. 1t was
the best natured crowd that has ever been
here. Everybody spent his money freely.
had jolly good time. was satisfied with
everything.
The races. of course, attracted the bulk
of the people and there was dense
mass bugging the track fence
half way around, TO say nothing about the
jam in the grand stand, which was crowd
ed like a sardiCe box.
All the other attractions drew finely, and
every booth made money. Many of them
ran out of stock early in the dav and had
to draw upon the city for supplies. The
eating tent alone turned away over 400
who desired TO get dinner. Everything
fiourished but the pools, and they diG not
make much money.
The balloon ascension was a great attrac-
ton ana great success, and unQuestlona-
bly, was the best ever given here. 1t is one
of the most popular features of the fair.
Two balloons will 90 up today at the same
time, and rs 1t Is chlldren'S day
at the fair there will be some hot yelling.
A performance like the one that will be
given this afternoon has never been seen
here before.
The management was well pleased at
the success of the day and the feeling was
mutual with the crowd. Every day gives
the association additional popularity and
it is an assured success for the future. 1t
will be made in years coming one of the
great fairs of America; for with a good
satisfactory fair Wichita has the field to
draw from.
Another immense crowd will be
on the grounds today. The peo-
pie who We're here yesterday were
SO well pleased that the greater
part of them have remained over The
fact that the famous Symboleer will spin
around the track today will bring crowds
from southern kans s aud from the city.
The attendance today Will probably be as
large as the attendance of yesterday.

Discharge of shotgun ONES Near Killing G.
W. shepherd

G. ". Shepherd came near losing his
life yesterday m0tning by the discharge Of
his shotgun. at his farm nine miles north
west of town. He had loaded the gun
some time during the summer, and had
taken IL out for the purpose Of discharg-
ing the load. After placing several caps
on the tuhe and breaking them. the load
was not discharged. and he attempted To
draw it from the barrel with the ramrod.
While twisting the rod in the barrel a
spark of ire WAS caused by the friction OF
the steele aud ignited the powder. The
ramrod was shot up the coat sleeve of his
right arm, passing CUT At the shoulder and
through the rim OF his hat. The ouly in-
laries sustained by Mr.. Shepherd were a
burnt streak running from his wrist to
the top of his shoulder. and the tip of his
ear badly bruised. The ramrod was shot
up in the air and killei a bird in the tree
under which Mr.. Shepherd was standing
at the time. The escape of Mr.. Shepherd
Is miraculous, but he did not express any
desire 10 try the experiment again.
