TO FIX UP FAIR GROUNDS.

Buildings and Fences to BE Repaired
Says COnmissioner Kelsey.
The county commissioners have de-
eided to improve the fair grounds. The
grounds will not be allowed to run down
as they have in the past two or three
years.
People have carried off horse troughs;
have torn boards off the buildings and
carried away portions of the fence and
the grounds are in a sorry plight. The
commissioners will straighten things up
and repair the buildings and tracks so
that the grounds may be ready for use at
any time.
The dining hall which stands not far
from the entrance may be changed so as
to make a comfortable residence for the
superintendent. If this is done he will
be expected to reside on the grounds.
Commissioner Kelsey who is a thorough
business man said: I'VE have decided
to fix up the fair grounds but we do not
yet know what we shall do. The details
have not been decided upon but some
thing will be done.
"The grounds will be put in such
shape that when the horsemsn want to
use the track or the stables they will be
ready, aud when the wheelmen want to
use the track they can be assured that it
will be in good condition.
They will be willing to help bear the
expenses of keeping the grounds up if
they can be assured that they can find
things as they should be at any time.
We have the best half mile track in the
state and there is no reason why we
should not improve our opportunities.
at Ia q shame the way the grounds
have been allowed to go in the past two
or three years. Everything that was
loose has been carried off and the build
inps are being ruined"

SHE HELPED THE NEEDY.

a Topeka Woman Who Aided q Sick
Boy in Cripple Creek.
The only thing athirst in Cripple
Creek is love of gold. In the rush the
weak are tramplsd on.
Many people in this city know Captain
J. b. Hannum, now of Cripple Creek,
Colorado. His daughter, Mrs. BROKER,
also living there, found there in one of
the coolest months of this winter a IT,
year old boy sick with pneumonia. The
boy had no money, friends or relatives
Mrs. BROKER took him to her own house.
She called a physician, who said he did
not think the boy could live two days.
But with treatment and the NEST careful
nursing by Mrs. BROKER, assisted by her
mother, Mira Hannum, he recovered en-
tirely, and they purchased a ticket for
him and saw him safely on his way to his
former home in Joplin, Mo.

GRAINFIELD, July &c, 1896.
FRIEND FRANK:
Our club meets every Wednesday
evening at o'clock.
When conscience revoltS, when a
glorious name is purloined, to serve
populiSm and anarchy, the name has
no charms for me.
When Democracy is made to serve
these ideas, which conscience and
judgment tells me means my coun-
try's diShOnOr L am not bound to that
name for such purposes
No convention of real Democrats
would refuse to endorse the common
honesty of President Cleveland and
no man who would ask or accept
nomination for the presidency from
And since that SO-called Democratic
convention recently convened in Chi
cago stands for nothing Democratic
and so much that is worse than hon
est populiSm. L shall vote for Nc
kinley next NOvemb her. shall vote for
him as the least of evils.
My own conscience says to me in
tones of thunder that duty to country
and defense of it's sacred honor. Its
credit which is all of national life is
at stake, it has been said that the
fragrance of the rose would be just as
sweet if called by another name, and
populiSm is just as dangerous and just
as hurtful when called Democracy.
used to delude and deceive. Yes, sir.
not only a delusion and a snare to
honest Democrats and populiStS as
well. No question in my mind and
estimation of our populiSt fellow citi-
ZenS that they are sincerely honest,
but sir, / do believe they are mis-
taken and their remedies for existing
ills would be no cure but rather poison
and death to the honor and credit of
the body politics.
Mr.. Mckinley stands on platform
contended for our country'S credit and
honor, on a platform contending for
the aggregated majesty of our COM
mon country, Squarely in favor of law
and order and the honest payment by
every man 100 cents on the dollar of
whatever he may owe. This sir, is
my position and if that be treason, to
the mere name of Democracy, in the
language of Patrick Henry, let them
make the best of it.
