Kansas St Louis Fair Committee Fills
Vacancies.

The Kansas committee named by
Governor Leedy just before he retired
from office to arrange for an exhibit of
Kansas products at the St. Louis expo
sit1on had the bad taste to hold the
first meeting in behalf of the enterprise
in Kansas City, Mo-, for which there
is no excuse. The committee. however,
transacted some business which is of
interest.
The committee selected men to fill the
places of the members who have resign
ed from the committee. There were w.
e. Perry, and Lyman Naugle, OF the
general committee, and W. Q. Perry, Of
the executive committee Those elect
ed yesterday were E. L. Shaffer, Coun-
Gil Grove; Claude Duvall, of Hutchin-
son, both of whom will fill the vacan-
cles on the general committee, and J. G.
Slonecker resigned from the general
committee to take the place on the ex-
ecutive committee made vacant by the
resignation W. c. Perry.
The Kansas committee is composed
of the following men: Frank W. Elliott,
chairman, of Troy; DR.. S. F. Nicely, of
Leavenworth; A. ]. Tullock, Leaven-
worth; w. H. Kuhn, Marion; w. C.
Perry, late of Fort Scott; J. c.. Sion
ecker Topeka; Lyman Naugle, yelling
ton; T. w Harrison, Topeka; Benjamin
Hennessey, Great Bend; o. F. Sawyer,
Topeka; Abe Stineberger, Topeka
The Kansas exhibit at st. Louissas
said Mr.. Elliott, will be the finest the
Sldle HIS ever IndQe III all us history
The people all over the state are taking
a personal interest in the matter, and
the responses that will be made to the
request of the people to the legislature,
are sure to be liberal. The state will
put forth its very best efforts to make
the Kansas part of the fair the finest
in the west. and the Kansas exhibit will
excel anything else at the fair. The
legislature will respond readily to the
demand to make a liberal appropriation
for the purpose; 5000, 900 will probably be
the amount appropriated, and 1 am of
the opinion that will be enough. as there
viii be many individual exhibits.
THE individual exhibitors all over the
state are taking great interest in the
matter of making special exhibits, and
of making them on a grand scale, for
they all realize that now is the time for
the state to come to the front, and show
the world what sort of a state Kansas
is and the immense resources at her
command.
THE cattle interests of the state will,
of course, make their own exhibit, and
| if the promises and signs of good will
among the cattle and other live stock
men over the state are of value in the
computation of the amount of money to
be spent by them, then we are safe in
saying that the exhibit Of the live stock
interests, will be the finest the state has
ever seen.
Besides the live stock interests, there
viii be many other interests in the state
| that will make their own exhibits.
Among them will be the min
ing interests, the agricultural, the fruit,
and many others. Take, for instance,
the agricultural interests of the state
of Kansas, those that have surprised
the whole world; just think of the i'm
mense exhibit the farmers can make.
And so will it be all along the line OF
| course, the states duty will be to fur
! nish the building, and take the care of
it and the entire Kansas exhibit and
| then the duty of the state will have
! been accomplished. The individuals
who are making their exhibits will fur
nish the funds for their displays. The
amount represented in the Kansas ex-
| hibit will be about 100000, and per
