WILL GIVE GREAT RACES.
Program for the Races to Take Place at the
State Fair Being Arranged.

The directors of the State Fair asso-
citation held meeting yesterday A
former meeting appointed special com
rnittee consisting of II. q. Toler, L. STRAIT
ton and Secretary Hewey to prepare a
program for the races at the next meet
ing.
1t is the intention of the State Fair
association to make the races lead
ing feature and some of the best horses
in the west are expected here at the
next meeting. Nearly every day Secre-
tary Hewey receives information OF
more horses that are coming. The spec
ial committee found its labor greater
than they expected and its report yester
day was to the effect that the program
had not been completed.
Time was given until the next regu-
lar meeting of the directors for the spec
ial committee to make its report. The
great number of horses that will be
here makes it somewhat difficult TO ar
range a satisfactory program. Mr.. To-
lers suggestion at a former meeting
that the fair be held on four days and
which at the time was considered a
good one has been abandoned, as it is
now POSITIVELY known that the races
could not be completed in four days.

ded constantly One of these is the
converts meeting which is held every
| morning in the parlors of the NJ +.
church. Yesterday they had splen-
did one. This is the testimony of a
well known man who is in constant at
| tendance. One young man who had
been jockey in one of our large cities
said that he had received contract to
be signed to ride in st. Louis the COM
ing season. He returned the contract
unsigned, writing across the face of it
that he had entered in the biggest race
Of his life and he was going to win.
Another important feature of the
work is the noon day meeting. There
is one at the Y. NJ. c. a. rooms and also
a Mr.. Knapp's office. Major Cole says
this is the best insurance business Mr..
Knapp ever did. At one of the meet

was the usual large audience at the
evening meeting. The talks by the
converts and by workers are always
( listened to with interest. Rev. Mr.. Well
man told of a sixteen days series of
meetings in Derby. There were about
ninety conversions there. When Ma
jor Cole asked for the statements Of
the recent converts as TO the length of
their experience, answers varied from
four hours to one week Mr.. Rice told
how he gave up smoking. He said the
matches used in lighting from five to
fifteen cigars day would buy a soup
bone occasionally for his family. now
he had quit his business. The subject
of the evangelist was How to Begin a
Christian Life
1t was announced last night that the
meeting in the Presbyterian church

only. A meeting for women will be held
at the same time in the NJ. f. church.
Mrs. Cole will have charge of this meet
ing if she is able.
The announcement has been made
thus far ahead in order that special eff

ments Over Soldiers Graves


The members of Garfield post, G. A.
r., are taking steps which will insure
a monument over the grave of every old
soldier buried in and near Wichita.
The United States government fur
nishes grave stones for every old soldier
when demand is made. These stones
are made in Vermont and are said to
be of the clearest marble. Government
viii furnish these stones free but will
not place them over the graves.
Post Commander John Martin has
appointed the necessary committees to
carry out the intention of Garfield post

tives buried in the cemeteries in or
near Wichita who served in the army or
navy are requested to report to the COM
mittee the name OF such soldiers the

SUSPENDED IN ALL STATES.
A Member of the Sedgwick County Bar Sus
pended Can Not Practice Anywhere.

Some of the lawyers in the court room
OF the district court yesterday were
talking about the effect of a suspension
of an attorney.
The idea seems to prevail outside the
legal fraternity that when d member
of the bar is suspended that it applies
only to the court in which the action
was taken.
Speaking of this matter yesterday
Judge Reed said that case of that
kind applied To all the courts and that

The arguments in the Casey divorce
trial were heard yesterday and Judge
Reed has promised to render his decis-

There is a good deal of interest in the
final result. Even the lawyers are far
from agreeing what ought to be done
in view of the testimony that has been
presented. 1t is predicted that Judge
Reed will have large audience to hear
the opinion of the court.
