WORKING FOR THE EXPOSITION
Kansas Will Have E. Fair if Legisla-
ture Acts FavorablY.

The passage by the legislature of the
bill being pushed by the members of the
state board of agriculture will open the
way for the return to Kansas of the an
nual state fairs, or state expeditions, as
the board is pleased to call that which
is being planned.
At the annual meeting of the board
in this city early in January it was
agreed that an effort should be made
to have a state fair in Kansas at some
point in the state to be selected by the
board. To assure prospective patrons
that the affair would be a success the
board agreed to ask the state for an
appropriation of $4,000 as a guaranty
fund. A bill containing these provisions
was accordingly drafted and is now
pending in both houses, having been
recommended for passage by the senate
committee on irrigation and agriculture.
The legislative committee appointed
by the board, G. w. Click and o. p.
Updegraff and others are confident that
such an exposition can be made finan-
cially successful.

however, are said to be largely in excess

little affected by February interest and

SELLING SOAP TO CUBA.
Kansas City Gets an Order for $4,000
Pounds of Soap.

Kansas City, Feb. kansas City is
going to assume an important part IN
the uplifting of the new countries that
have come under the protection of the
United States since the war with Spain.
1t is going to furnish the soap. An or
der for two car loads was received this
week at the offices of the Peet Bros.
Manufacturing company in Armourdale
Havana. 1t will be ready for shipment
by February Is and will bear the label;
MADE in Kansas City, u. S. A
This will be the first big shipment OF
soap from this country to Cuba and Will
be an important start in the develop
ment of a Cuban market for one Kan
sas City product.
Cuban soap is made in large square
bars, weighing about five pounds each.
1t is sliced up like cheese and sold at so
much a slice 1t has always been
luxury that the poorer classes could not
afford and they get along without 1t.
Now Kansas City proposes to put SUI
perior quality of the article within the
reach of all. The wants of the Gu
bans in the matter of soap are as yet
somewhat primitive. They must be de-
veloped. consequently there will be no
shipment of fancy toilet bars to the is
land for a while. That the natives may
be accustomed gradually to the use or
the American article, the Kansas City
firm will make the first shipment in
the same form that the Spanish article
is put on the market. The bars Will be
exactly square and will weigh five
pounds each, for the accommodation of
the CaStilian merchant who may be
10th to abandon the use of the cheese
knife in retailing the soap to his Gus
toners. The bars will be packed in
boxes which, when filled, will weigh 100
pounds each. The net weight of the
two carloads of soap to be shipped Will
be so 900 pounds. The boxes will be
labeled in Spanish, as follows:

TOO MUCH STAR CHAMBER
About the Old Fashioned Grand Jury
to Suit the American Spirit.

The present house is not partial to
grand juries. The pet measure of Rep
resentative WEIGH of Harvey was an
amendment to the grand jury law pro-
viding for a grand jury in every county
at the first term of the district court
in each year. The judiciary committee
reported adversely the bill, but Mr..
WEIGH succeeded in getting it on the
calendar under general orders but the
house refused to have it printed.
When the bill came up in committee
of the whole Mr.. WEIGH made a hard,
but unavailing, fight for it.
Il don't see why so many of you peo-
pie are so afraid of grand juries,'' he
said. Il am not afraid of them and I
don't see why any aw-abiding citizen
should be. A grand jury is a terror only
to evil-doers, and it is a great inspira-
ton to people to refrain from breaking
the laws
There was no debate against the bill,
but the enacting clause was ruthlessly
stricken from it,

TO LOCATE THE NEW ASYLUM.
Believed That q Committee Will Dis
pose of the Pending Question.

The senate this week has spent much
time attempting to arrive at a con-
clusion concerning the location of a. pro-
posed new asylum in this state, but
did nothing further than accomplish a
dead lock. The question is still pend
ing before the senate but it is doubtful
if this body will select the location.
The prevailing opinion among the SEN
ators is that a special committee will
be appointed to attend to this business
and that in this way it will be removed
as a bone of contention from the SEN
ate.
Senator Lewelling first suggested the
plan of leaving the work to a special
committee. His resolution was referred
to the judiciary committee and unless it
comes back favorably acted upon Mr..
Campbell will introduce a similar reso-
luton in the senate again.

$500 FOR A DIME.
An Advertisement in a New York
Paper Attracts Attention.

New York, Feb. An last Sundays
papers there appeared over the names
of Lenney e. Donovan of 120 Broadway
an advertisement offering a reward of
$500 for the return of a dime upon which
were certain markings that made it of
peculiar value to the person who had
inadvertently put it in circulation.
Sentimental persons Immediately con-
jured up a more or less pathetic love
story in connection with the silver
piece. They were partly right. for the
coin was originally given to a woman
by an admirer, but the primary reason
for Offering so large a reward for it's
return is that the dime may be used
as evidence in property dispute. The
interested parties refuse to be more spe-
cific in their explanation
In the meantime the far-reaching
power of the advertisement was shown
by the fact that Messrs. Lenney & DON
ovan have received several hundred let
tiers from persons who claim to have
handled the piece or to know something
about it.
One man writes that he received the
coin in change, but that he worked it
off, on a beggar. He adds that after
hearing of the advertisement he made a
vain search for the beggar

HASN'T THE DOODLE COME YETP
Why Doesn't This Holdup Bill Die, or
Isn't It Time

The senate committee of irrigation
and agriculture, Stone, chairman, has
recommended that the anti-bucket shop
bill be passed.
This is an act to prohibit the buy
ing, selling and dealing in grain, stocks,
bonds, securities, provisions, and other
commodities, where the persons so buy
ing, selling and dealing do not intend
to receive or deliver the same, and are
not at the time in the possession and
control thereof, and prohibiting the
keeping and maintaining of places for
the purpose of carrying on or trans
acting such business, and fixing the
penalties for the violations.

The normal school question is proba-

in the senate are being referred to the
committee of the whole and are there
by placed where those for and against
them may have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves. The normal school
fight will follow the asylum contest, but
the authorization of a new asylum will
likely kill the normal school projects.
