KANSAS IRRIGATION CONVENTION

The Kansas State Irrigation assO-
citation, the third annual meeting, Will
be held on Oct. 1st and 2nd, at Garden
CITY. 1t will continue two days. Gar
den City is the most appropriate point
in the state for the holding Of irriga-
ton meetings. More object lessons
are to be seen there than at any other
point. The people of that portion of
the Arkansas valley know more from
experience of the practical side Of irri-
CATION than the people of any other Sec
ton of Kansas. They have given it
more thought, not only, but can tell
more about the profits. At the same
date the Garden City fair will be
held and many of the products of irri-
CATION will be on exhibition, as also
machinery of various designs and
kinds used for raising water.
Among the more distinguished speak
ers who are expected to be present are
Governor Morrill,, Senators PETER and
Baker, the Kansas members of con-
gress. Hon. John ]. ingalls,, Hon. Web
ster Davis, mayor of Kansas City, Hon.
Lionel A. Sheldon of California, Hon.
l.. Bradford, Prince Of New Mexico,
Senator David Boyd, Of Greeley, Colo,
and others.
The dates Of the meeting are so
fixed as to make it convenient for all
delegates attending the National Irri
CATION congress at Albuquerque, n. NJ,
to attend this meeting also. An open
one-fare rate has been secured from all
points between Kansas City, Mo-, and
Rocky Ford, Colo.
Address all communications and in
Guiries to J. W. Gregory, Secretary
Local Committee, Garden City, Kansas.

HOW TOPEKA BEATS WICHITA.

Enforce the law. at Wichita! is ever
the Cry which comes from Topeka.
If the law! at Wichita! We're enforced
say the papers at Topeka, there would
be nothing but happiness and temper
ance and the state would be overrun
by the millions seeking a paradise on
earth. Let the prohibition laws. but
be enforced in Wichita, is rhyme that
is ever being sung around the corridors
Of the capitol and up and down the
columns Of the Capital. The only diff
ference between Topeka as a town and
Topeka as the administrative power of
the state is the difference of the sound
of the two vowels "a and co." oh, ah!
While Topeka capitol and Capital are
bowling for the enforcement Of the
law. down in wicked Wichita! we want
to call the attention of the people of
Wichita to the fact that by a direct,
open defiance, and violation of law!
Topeka his defrauded Wichita, The
last legislature passed a claw" COM

that law will ever be obeyed by
Topeka or by the statesmen whom she
holds under her Santa Fe thumb. Not
much. The bosses at Topeka counter
manded the order Of the Flaw" and that
ended it. Wichita will never see the
books, nor will the lawyers of Southern
Kansas unless they go TO Topeka on
purpose and foot a hotel bill beside.
What Topeka wants is the enforce
ment Of claw" at "Wichita." She
will take care of her own end of the
line as shall prove more profitable.
Jugs and bottles, baskets and kegs Of

OUR FOUR YEAR OLD.

Our household pet all day had set
His feet IN paths forbidden.
And came al eve. his rosy cheeks
In curls and bushes hidden
Had broken every rule and cup
And saucer on the place,
Had "vipped' the neighbor's boy and given
The neighbours cat a chase.
Then drawing near, WORKOUT with care,
And clamor and carousin';
.'Toop down and femme lub you, Nan;
1 lub you boshty tousan."
NO" she replied, and turned aside,
Her accents feigning rude ones.
81 do not love bad little boys;
1 only love the good ones"
He came to me with quivertng ohm
And simmering eyes of blue,
Those eyes which catch from out the skies
Their own cerulean hue,
And with touch and tone made up
OF tenderness subdued:
Tar tay he Tub me Wen bad
Dess same like wen dood!'
Thanks for the lesson. little heart;
How hard would be our lot
II the dear father when were bad
Should likewise love use not:
Should rain his blessings on the just,
And spurn the sin-defaced,
This earth would be a wilderness.

MORRILL, AND TOPEKA on WICHITA

MORRILL, AND TOPEKA on WICHITA
The Kansas State Fairs were form
erly held at Topeka. So long as To-
peka attempted to support such an
annual exposition, although favored by
rhe railways, Kansas City kept up
system of fall fairs, which completely
oyershadOwed the Kansas State Fair
at Topeka. Topeka finally falling
down threw up the sponge, because
Kansas City had more to offer in the
way of good time for that class OF
people who attend fairs. The side at
fractions at Kansas City made Topeka
tired. Wichita thereupon organized
and Incorporated a State Fair associa-
ton. Topeka would rather the Kan
sas State Fair were held in Missouri
than in Wichita. So would also the
statesmen and politicians who live and
congregate there. The State Fair az
Wichita was fixed for the first week in
October, annually. So it was for this
year. Topeka knew that. But To-
Dehd tlldl anu ci'NA
league of Wichita might fail of knock
ing out all Of the side shows and at
fractions of the proposed fair for next
month, Topeka goes TO work and gets
up a deep-water convention and fixes
it on the same days Of Wichita's State
Fair. To make the thing more effec-
tive they have their man Morrill, issue
a proclamation, as governor of Kan
sas, inviting not only the whole state,
but surrounding states, to come TO To-
peka to consider the proposition Of
scooping out lot Of sand in Galveston
bay eight hundred miles away. The
government paid six millions Of dol
lars for this sand scoop, Kansas paying
her part of ii, but something had to be
done by Topeka in the way Of knocking
out Wichita and her State Fair and
sand-scooping scheme eight hundred
miles away, with the governor back
ing it by an official proclamation, was
the only thing in sight Galveston, of
course, will be on hand with a train
load Of fine brand liquors and cham
pagnes to help out the Topeka drug
stores and boarding houses. Wichita
with her new police commission, who
propose to make the State Fair grounds
at Wichita drier than the desert of
Sahara, will be on hand with their
police force, and Wichita will be COM
PEELED to thus help stiffen up Topeka's
counter attraction to the end that the
Topeka papers may crow that the
State Fair at Wichita was fzzle while
the deep-water drunk at Topeka was
