THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR AND THE BONNET DRY GOODS CO, MAKE A
 MAGNIFICENT
 SHOWING.
Beautiful Hats, BOnnets, Milli- nery Goods and Other Things too Numerous
 to Mention.

The grand spring opening Of two of Pine Bluffs leading dry goods and millinery establishments began this morning, and although the weather was most unfavorable, the attendance of people who were drawn to those establishments to witness the magnificent display were quite large.
 THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR.
 The GRAPHICreporter first dropped in at the Kaufman Bazaar. At the door his attention was drawn to the show windows, which were decorated in a manner that would do credit to leading New York establishment. In one of the win dows is a locomotive made entirely of towels and table linen, and it is executed in such perfect detail that it attracts the attention of every passer-by. It was the work of Mir George R. Kaufman, who is certainly an artist in window decorations. On the inside of the store is one of the handsomest lines of dress goods, etc, ever brought to this city, and the same was displayed in such an ingenious and tastily manner that the sight brought forth exelama- tions of delight from all visitors. In the rear of the store Is the milli- nery department and today it is certainly bower of beauty, so ex- quisitly is it decorated.
 This department is presided over by Miss Ella English, milliner who by her exquisite taste and beautiful work has already gained 8 reputation second to none in her line in the South. The display of hats, bonnets, etc, is lovely beyond compare, and those who fail to visit this place during the opening will miss one of the prettiest sights ever seen in Pine Bluff.
 THE HoNNET DRY GOOD COMPANY.
 The Honnet Dry Goods Company is now having it's first spring open ing, The firm, although composed of old and well known merchants, is new one, and it's place of busi- ness is that lately occupied by the Great Red Store. The mammoth building is literally packed with goods of all descriptions, and such care and foresight was used in pur- chasing same, that they are just suited to this section. The firm, having only recently moved into it's new quarters, has not yet gotten all of it's goods on display, but as

Look After Visitors
To the Fall Festival and Re-
union.
At the Suggestion of Rev NJ F. Nc
Kirahan Who viii Probably be
Appointed Chairman of the
Committee.

The committee of fifteen held a short
session last night. There was no spe-
cial business to come before the com
rnittee and not all the members Of the
committee were present.
Treasurer Krauss reported that he
had in his possession s943.25 belonging
to the coml4sittee and he asked for in
structions concerning a. bank deposit
He said that it was doubtful II he
could deposit the money where inter
est would be paid because Of the short
time until the committee would be com
PEELED to use the funds.
Secretary Doran suggested that the
amounts already offered in prizes be
deposited to be drawn only when the
prizes are to be paid.
BY a vote of the committee it was de
cided to allow the treasurer to deposit
the funds in whichever bank he select
ed and make the best arrangements pos
sible
Secretary Doran reported that he had
employed an assistant who would col
lect the money subscribed and other
wise assist the secretary, who would be
paid $40 per month The committee
approved the action of the secretary.
c. P. Adams reported that the ladies
had decided to accept the proposition Of
the committee to give a flower parade
and had asked for a date during the
week.

A. J. Arnold reported that his com
mittee had called on the directors of
the Topeka club who expressed a viii
hngness to participate in the Festi-
val The invitation of the committee
of fifteen was accepted and a meeting
of the whole club called to decide what
action would be taken.
The committee was continued to con
fer further with the Topeka club con-
corning arrangements
Rev. NJ r McKirahan was present
as a visitor and A. K. Rodgers. who
acted as chairman, called upon him for
suggestions.
Mr. McKirahan said: Il am very
much interested in the proposed re
union and festival for the sake of the
old soldiers and also for the sake of
the city. Tt is safe to estimate that
there viii be 10000 people here.
"A great deal depends upon how our
city looks and an effort should be made
to have it look its prettiest. People
should be requested to fix up their
lawns and parks and decorate their

There should be a department of pub

shady places for people who want to
rest and en- abundance of water where
it can be reached by every one and
there should be benches wherever there
is room all over the city.
L think that, since we are to have
a great many bands here, they should
be stationed in different parts Of the
city, and some Of them should be play
ing all the time. When the professions
are formed the line Of march should not
be confined to a single street. but should
be over some of the by streets, because
everything viii be crowded then There
should be a committee to look after
the benches and water"
Captain TfJus-The suggestion is
very good one and we should do some
thing of this kind as soon as possible.
A. NJ. Baird think we can depend
upon the hospitality of the people of
Topeka to furnish all Mr.. McKfrahan
suggests Every one in the city Will
take an interest in this matter and Will
help to entertain the visitors. The con
veniences suggested viii cost money
and this should not be taken out of the
control Of this committee for we may
not have money to spare.
D. =. nWald-This is a matter
about which have thought There are
a great many things to be done and
that must be done We should see to

Secretary Doran-There are many
things for use as Mr.. McKirahan sug-
gested which would be donated and we
should expect to receive much of the
material necessary in the way of con
tributiOns.

has Waged a mighty war Ior the res

as that of no other living man with this

less demanded and less noticed In this
direction, the people would stin have
recognized in him for other labors a
statesman of the purest type
His only poverty has been that of
