MAJOR HARVEY PRESIDENT.

At o'clock p. m. Thursday the MEM
berS of the Twenty second Kansas regi-
ment held a business meeting on the
camp ground and perfected a perma-
nent organization. The officers elected
were: President, Major A. NJ. Harvey
of Topeka; secretary, Lieutenant H. M.
Thomas of Melvern was reelected. The
former election of Mrs. A. NJ. Harvey
for regimental historian, was ratified.
Miss Katherine Lindsey and Miss Mae
Graham, daughters respectively of Col
onel Lindsey and Lieutenant Colonel
Graham We're elected honorary mem
bers of the association.
The officers were instructed to provide
for reunion next year, the time and
place being left to their discretion but
the ruling sentiment seemed to be in
favor of uniting at that time with the
Twentieth, TWenty-frSt and Twenty
third regiments, if it could be mutually
arranged.
A jolly time was had at the meeting:
the young soldiers dispOrted much more
freely and indulged in many more
facetious remarks and Jokes at each
others expense than they had before
shown while mingling with the older
veterans.
Before adjourning, a committee to
prepare resolutions of welcome to the
Twentieth Kansas, was appointed. The
following is their report, which was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We, the members of the
Twenty Kansas volunteers, in
reunion assembled at Topeka, Septenl-
Der 2S, 1899, realizing as we do the pa
triOtic devotion displayed by the men
of the Twentieth Kansas volunteers in
serving in the Philippine war, after
their term of enlistment had expired;
and appreciating the fact that their
vaIorous and heroic conduct on the field
of battle had added glory without a
tarnish, to the already glorious military
record achieved by the Kansas soldiers
of the Civil war. And, recognizing fur
ther, that the brilliant services of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment has
brought worldwide distinction to the
name of Kansas, our beloved state. as
we'll as honor to the citizenship of Kan
sas. of which we are a part. Therefore,
be it,
Resolved, That we. the members of
the Twenty-second Kansas regiment.
whose military services were in a much
more humble capacity, extend our
heartiest greetings to our gallant COM
rades who are soon to return to their
home and peaceful vocations. And be
it further
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to
use every effort to make their welcome
home. such a one as their heroic con-
duct so rightly merits.

Governor Stanley, who visited the fair
on Thursday. became lost in the crowd
and the committee who was supposed
to have him in charge spent several
hours looking for him. He was expect
ed to review the parade of the secret
societies, and the procession could not

The governor arrived in Salina at a
late hour Wednesday night from FL
Dorado He was met at the depot by
company NJ, of the Kansas National
Guards, and conducted to the business
part OF the city where the street fair is
in progress
Governor Stanley was entertained
while here by NJ. d Samnson pr0nrfe-
tor of the local Republican paper.
Thursday morning, after the governor
had been shown over the city, he ex-
pressed the desire to mingle with the
crowds a little himself Through some
misunderstanding no member of the
committee to entertain the governor
was detailed to accompany him, and
while he knew he was expected to re-
view the parade, he supposed the pro-
cession would not start till afternoon.
Accordingly he started out to enjoy
himself in his own way

sponsibIe for delaying one of the most
important parades of the week.
After the parade Governor Stanley
delivered an address on fraternal or
ganizations.
1.-THE crowds at the street fair has far
exceeded our expectations" said L. A.
VIII, president of Salina Commercial
club today. THE project was first
thought of a year ago. The idea was
originated by Oscar Seitz. He COM
municated it to a few of us and we be-
gan to work it up in a quiet way. We
wrote to towns in the east where street
fairs had been made a success and en-
deavored to gather all the ideas we
could These we supplemented with
ideas Of our own and this is the re-
suit.
I'VE organized our street fair associ-
alton in June and have been working
hard ever since. James A. Kimban was
elected president of the association, and
much of the credit for the success Of
the project is due to his push and en-
ergy.
1T is doubtful if the affair would
have been the success it has proven If
the business men of Salina had not
business man in the city, without an
exception not only worked for it, but
spent his money as we'll"
'oThe street fair has cost about $780,
O00' said James A. Kimban, president
of the street fair association, but it
will pay for itself. The street fair COM
mittee will pay out approximately $21,-
O00 and in addition to this the mer-
chants have spent between $4,000 and
600 on their booths, decorations and
floats for the trades display
The principal feature of the fair is
the free entertainments. At the inter-
section of all the principal streets
stages have been erected, and on these
stages entertainments are given from
early in the morning until midnight
The entertainments consist of acrObatic
feats, juggling, vaudeville, band con-
certs and like entertainments on a scale
which, it is claimed, has never before
been attempted in the west. The COM
mittee spent $4,000 for street entertain
ments alone.
In addition to the free shows there
are a score or more of paid attractions
There is the usual Midway. in which
the street fair committee invested ST.
O00- Every afternoon the speed ring
in Oak Dale park attracts hundreds of
visitors, and at night the Battle Of
Manila is given, also in Oak Dale park
This feature cost the committee SIS, 900
for the week, but it will more than pay
for its cost. For the past three nights
the attendance at the battle has been
from 1000 to 1000, although on Wednes-
day night the wind was so high that
the ships were blown over.
In addition to these expenses, purses
aggregating $4,000 have been hung up
for the horse races and $4,000 additional
for agricultural exhibits.
Mr.. Kimbau estimates that the fair
will bring at least 100000 into Salina.
