THEY WANT A SHOW.
Farmers are Agitating the Matter of a
County Fair.


Now that the word has gone out among
the farmers that Wichita does not intend
intend TO have any street fair this next
fan the agriculturlst and stock raisers are
starting the talk for an old fashioned
county fair.
Hiram Smith OF Union township. this
county. was III the city yesterday. He is
a prominent farmer and raiser of PO-
land China hogs and is in favor Of the
old fashioned fair. He said that the
people enjoyed the street fair at the time
but they wanted something new. It
was his opinion that the farmers fair
would be ike the revival of old furniture
on the colonial style Of building. Peo-
pie would like it because it was old fash
toned. Mr. Smith says the farmers OK
this county would take hold and make
a rafting fair here at Wichita il they
could organize and get men az the head
Of the enterprise who would DO the hon
st thing and not try TO feather their own
nests. he says there ought to be small
cash premiums so that the fellow who
brought the best exhibits would be paid
his expenses in premiums. He believes
that the gate receipts would more than
pay the premiums.
When asked if the farmers would take
hold OF the fair and push it along, Mr.
Smith said they certainly would if the
thing was properly started. He said this
talk that the people would not patronize
a pumpkin show was all right. but they
would patronize farmers fair just the
same He said there had never been an
attempt to hold d real farmers fair in
this city when it did not prove a great
success. He said when it failed. was

of the present mild building activity
which has gradually crept over the city.
People don't like 70 call IL e boom a the
word boom is in some disfavor with sew
eral citizens who have been there. But
it is a different proposition that cOnfrOnts
Wichita at the present stage Of the game

fact that this city is getting there with
both feet over the dashboard OF the wagon

hands of the company architect in Chi

building for the Mccormick Harvester

HE'S A BAD ONE
Leaehman's Record at Arkansas City
Was 4 w-ful

Constable Breene Of Arkansas City de-
parted for Arkansas City yesterday morn
ing with H. 3. Leachman. the man who
was. arrested in this city for stealing a
horse and buggy from -1rkansas City. The
Traveller Of the latter place says that he
was taken before Judge Kreamer. who
set the date Of his hearing for April 80,
and axed his bond at 500. Not being able
20 give the bond he as sent to Jail
Continuing. the Traveller says: 1T now
seems that THIS is not the only transac-
tion of shady nature in which the young
man Is mixed. He came here some weeks
ago and since then has been hanging
around the Y N. c. A. Ills actions were
very proper and the secretary supposed
ne was all right. except once when a
railroad man who occupied the some room
at the hotel with Leachman told the sec
Rotary that be had missed q dollar from
his pocket. He was positive, however
chat Leachman didn't get IT, but rather
WAS inclined TO blame some of the en-
uioves ot the hotel. The secretary was a
little suspicious. but the railroad man was
so positive chat DIT Negus dismissed the
matter from his mind.
"A week ago Sunday Leachman went TO
the II e. Sunday school and took place
In one of the classes. When Dr.. Wood
spoke 10 him he handed him letter %
membership from the st. James Methodist
church OF Galveston. The letter was not
in exactly the form such letters are writ
ten. but DIT Wood thought nothing Of
that for the reason that sometimes the
regular form is not used. There was also
In the same envelope q personal letter
supposed TO be from the pastor of the
Galveston church. telling what good
young man Leachman was and also that
his mother and sister were drowned in the
food and that his father is a captain in
the United States army, now doing duty
IN the Philippines. Lcachman presented
the letter for membership and was taken
into the CHURCH Vow it seems that these
letters are foreeries and were probably
written 10y Leachman. A comparison cf
them with his writing shows IL 70 be very
much alike He seemed 70 be a very

jacent was literally crowded with a mass
of heterogeneous freight and a small army
OF men were busy from sun up until late
in the night handling the vast amount Of
shippers stuff that was being loaded
into trains Of cars that were pushed up to

Ia being nearer the base Of supplies; cat
tie viii naturally come here unless better
inducements are offered in some other
market, which he says cannot be done.
What Mr.. Robins meant by Wichita
being near the base Of supply. is that
the great feeder and stocker producing
section Of the country IS within Wichita's
territory. He says the great sattle sec
ton upon which farmers VIII depend
for stockers and feeders is western Kan
sas, Oklahoma and western Texas and
that Wichita IS their natural market.
He says the increase Of this kind OF trade
during the last six years is q surprise
to everybody connected with the yards.
Farmers are already signifying their in
tention OF coming TO Wichita for their
feeding cattle jucst as soon as the corn
crop IS assured. Mr.. Robins predicts
that within three years Wichita viii be
the big feeder and stocker OF the west.
