To the Voters of CanVille Town
ship

A proposition to build a township
house and to buy house on
which to erect it will come before the
voters of Canville township at the
November election.
The action of the township board
in bringing before the people this
proposition is made necessary by the
scarcity of suitable buildings in which
to hold an election under the Austral-
ian ballot system Heretofore we
have used Cranes hail for election
purposes but this year the Ladies'
Aid Society have fOrestalled the trus-
zee by renting that hall for other
purposes on election day and his only
recourse seems to be in using one of
the churches in which to hold the cleo
ton, which can hardly be considered
a very appropriate place. Coupled
with this proposition will be one to
build tool shed adjoining the town.
ship house in which to store the town

Kansas City Hay Market

As reported by j. T. Woolsey & Co., wholesale
dealers in hay, grain,etc. Kansas City, Mo.
The receipt of hay and straw for
the week ending Sept. 18th consisting
of 236 prairie, 40 timothy, - clover
mixed, 3 clover and ! straw, making a
total of 29S cars against 375 for last
week.
The receipts this week have been
the lightest Kansas City has had for
two months or more and the continued
light arrivals have had a tendency to
strengthen the market TO some ex-
tent.
Prairie receipts are light and the
bulk of the arrivals have been of the
lower grades with very little No. l
and choice coming in, the better grad
es have been in good demand and all
offerings were readily taken up with
lower grades slower sale, the demand
was good today and there was an ad-
vance of % cents all round on prairie
hay.
Timothy demand is light in spite Of
the few arrivals. Everything but the
best grades are very slow sale, the
clover-mixed market having about
the same tone as the timothy. Pure
clover and straw are dull and very
slow sale. We quote today's market
as follows:
Prairie hav, choice $9-s6.25; No. l
s5.50-$6; No. s5.s5. so; No. 3 $4.50-$5

The Theatre from the Inside

That there are five thousand thea
tres in America, and that one million
and half people attend Them each
weekday night, spending seventy
millions of dollars a year on theatre
going, are the surprising facts with
which Mr.. Franklin FYles. the dra-
matte editor of the New York Sun,
will open an important series in the
next issue of The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. The series will be called THE
Theatre and It's People," "and will run
through seven numbers Of th" maya
zine, lavishly Illustrated with pictures
made by twelve different artists. The
articles will treat of every phrase OF
the theatre, the play and the actor,
from the inside, and will tell how a
theatre is managed; the actual money
which plays have made; how an actor
is trained and what the actors are ac-
tually paid; how play Is written and
what the authors receive. how a
play is rehearsed; the first night of a
play; how the actresses "make up" and
what they use; and in minute way
the two last articles will show what
goes on behind the scenes on the stage
during performance. 1t is a curious
fact that this will be the first time
that the theatre and the actor have
ever been exbaustively treated in a
magazine, and that there is now book
on the subject in existence.

q Big Success

THE Chanute fair for 1899 is a
thing of the past. To say that it
was a success does not express It,.
1t was big surprise tc its most ar
dent friends from start to finish. The
exhibits were fine in all departments
and the management was perfect.
The arrangement could not have been
better and everybody was satisfied.
The crowd on Thursday was simply
immense. The rain on Friday alone
kept the crowd away.
The association paid all Obligations
and premiums aud has some money
left. TOO much praise canuot be Civ
en- the managers of this association
who devoted so much time to the
matter and brought it off with such
flying colors. The only criticism we
hear offered that seems to us just, is
that the premiums on stock and farm
products should have been larger. We
believe next year the association
should at least double their offerings
on this line and the farmers will take
d greater interest and can better af-
ford to bring in their products. We
think this will be done aid that the
time Of the meeting will be arranged
so as not to conflict with lola. With
these changes and some Others which
experience will suggest, next year we
will have the biggest and best local
fair in the state of Kansas.
We give below the premiums gran

ADJUSTMENTS.


Yesterday was a great day for proprietors
OF theaters. Everybody that didn't nave to
work seemed TO be struck by the same idea
after the Thanksgiving dinner had been
eaten-to start at once for their favorite
playhouse. Many who had reached the
other theaters too late to secure even stand
ing room HE'D themselves to the Park. which
has the largest seating capacity of any
house Of Thespis in the city, In the hope
OF being able to secure some sort Of a seat
there. But everything was sold at the Park
long before the curtain was rung up for the
performance to begin. and the ticket sellers
fed TO parts unknown to avoid the pro-
tests OF 'kickers." A better attraction than
"On the Wabash" could not have been Sc
cured for the Park on Thanksgiving day,
Tor II Is one thing TO draw a large crowd
and an entirely different one to hold Ii after
admirably adapted TO do both. Nobody pre-
tends that ION the Wabash" is a fine piece
or literature, or that It Is worth a dollar
TO see II. IL Is, however, a good wholesome
play and abounds in worthy precepts. the
absorption Of which is made easy by their
gliding OF homely, ea~Sily-understood wit.

can m in that part Of the world
during the past few years and the popu-
larity Of American products and manufac-
lures when brought into competition with
those of nations which had been formerly
supplying those markets. A recent number
of the British and South African Export
Gazette, received by the Treasury Bureau
Of Statistics, contains a series of state
ments on this subject and quotes Mr.. j.
Solomon, a Cape Town. South Africa, mer-
chant. as saying:
"In some respects the British manufac-
turer is outdoing his American competitor,
but 1 am afraid that in nan cases the
latter is getting the decided advantage.
The former cannot afford to lose this i'm
portant market. which, in my view. he
does not study sufficiently. On the other
hand, the American manufacturer goes out
of his way to please his clients in order
TO grasp a probable order. Take boots and
shoes, for instance. 1t used to be asserted
that American boots would not fit English
feet, but American manufacturers now use
English lasts. 1t is the willingness of the
Americans to adapt themselves to required
styles which has principally gained for
them so large a share of the South AZ
rican trade. Quite a number of Cape Town
houses now handle American goods. AS re-
CARDS Germany, England cannot touch II
IN the matter of blankets and chinaware,
and in these and some few other classes
Of goods they are making important in
roads into the market"
y similar letter in "IronmOngery' of re-
cent date says that South Africa imported
during 1897 no less than 1000 tons of wire
fencing, chiefly from the United States. the
iron posts for which, however, were most
ly furnished by other countries. Mr.. Robert
NJ. Eadon, a Sheffield manufacturer, is also
quoted by the British and South African
Export Gazette as saying: american man.

Several lines were mentioned in which the
superior finish of American or German
goods has caused their more extended
adoption at our expense. American en-
gines, Mr.. Eadon found. were much in evil

sequent smaller transport charges where
they have to be conveyed inland frequent
