LEAvENwORTH, Nov. 23.-Mayor Hook
presided last evening at the council
chamber meeting which had been called
to take further steps in the organization
of committees for another carnival in
Leavenworth some time next fall.
The mayor recounted the incidents of
his trip to Chicago with the Kansas train
of farm and mineral products. The ex-
pense, he said, for room for the exhibit
now in Chicago was SO per day but he
thought it was money probably ex-
pended
George Richardson spoke in favor of
going right ahead with preparations for
next years carnival.
f. Jameson made a lengthy report de-
failing the plan of the Million club for
next year. The state was to be divided
into twelve districts of a certain number
of counties in each district These were
each to have headquarters, where at
an appointed time a carnival was to be
held. Then the best of the products
shown at these carnivals were to be con-
centrated in Leavenwoz:h where a mon
ster carnival was to close the display,
after which the products were to be
classified on four trains of cars, one to go
to Philadelphia, one to Chicago, Balti-
more and Washington. He thought if
Leavenworth wanted the headquarters of
the Million club it could get it If it work
ed right.
To raise funds an assessment would be
made of two cents per capita in the state
which would raise a fund of $4,000,
one half of which was to remain with
local ASSOCIATE ons and one-half to go into
the general advertising fund, all to be
used in advertising.

This is the greatest show
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
a period of any six months
in its history.
This is greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only STA. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers of the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt of 800, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.
