THE GIRLS WERE THERE.
And Got Pointers From Brothers
 Hynes and Mcdonald.

|
 Talk about enthusiasm! It just sizzled last evening at the meeting of the general committee having in charge the arrangements for the com ing union fair of the Knights of Col unbt1s. Every member of the com Tnittee was in his element, and as re- ports came in from the subcommittee detailing the work doue the liveliest satisfaction was expressed. Success was written in every line of the fea- lures of every man present.
 Some of the young Indies who are to take part in tie canyassing were on hand receiving pointers from the hand- some James A. Hynes and the urbane John w. Mcdonald. and if the fair ones didn't catch on 10 the knack of ex- tracing dimes and quarters from visit ors to the fair it won't be the fault of their instructors. Both committee men took | turn to" and showed the young ladies some of the tricks in this line that they learned on their recent visit to New York, and it was the be- lief of the committee after the even ing's work was done that their pupils will make apt separators of the coin. It was remarkable what enthusiasm the young ladies showed, and they plolilSeu U De Ou uullu dSdtu ueAC week for another instruction, if Brothers Hynes and Mcdonald would be on hand to teach them.
 Several new schemes were broached for making the fair additionally att tractive, and the amusement com mittee received some valuable hints. This committee, by the way, has been particularly active. and it has made more progress, probably, than any of the other s,b-cOmmittees, this fact lends weight to the assurances given that there will be as much for every night during the fair as the most ca pacious appetite for amusement can digest.

Positively No Goods SOId.....

On account of so many evenings ill the week in which the stores are closed, and the people have little opportunity of seeing the goods they would like to purchase, We shall open our Mammoth establishment next Thursday evening from 7:30 until D. m.
 Our stock of House Furnishings is such tribute, to the genius of the American workman that we want the public to see it when they feel that he or she is not compelled to buy.
 Our salesmen will be on hand to an swer all questions in their respective departments. This will be q treat which we know the public will appre- ciate. Our stock is beautiful and can not be described in a small space. The prices are so low that you will wonder how they can be manufactured for the money.
 Don't fail to take advantage of this chance as many of the advertisements to-day are decoys pure and simple.
 SEEING IS BELIEVING.

 Regiment iii Chicago.

Regiment Ill Chicago.
 Chicago, April 13.--A special to the Tribune from Leayenworth, Kan, says Over.a hundred and fifty newly enlist ed soldiers of the Fourteenth cavalry regiment recruiting here have desert ed. The only reason assigned is they were disappointed, believing that since Aguinaldo has been captured the new regiment would not be sent to the Philippines on account of the possible termination of the war.
 The missing soldiers are nearly all young recruits and were from all conn panies of the new regiment, which now numbers about $50 men. Yesterday was their first pay day, and the de serters came to the city. A number purchased tickets to nearby cities, and 1t was learned several passed through St Joseph, Mo. A detachment of reg ulars has been sent to bring them back. It is said the officers will prom ise not to try the recruits for desertion if they return within ten days.
