WANT LOWER RATES.
Wiidey Association Committee Want
Another Reduction.


The Widely District celebration of Odd
Fellows will be held in this city next
Thursday. The railroads have granted
rate of one fare, plus 80 cents. and
this seems TO have put a damper on the
celebration and Will cut the number of
people who win attend several hundred
This rate is almost worthless within fifty
miles of Wichita, and il is from this ter
ritery that the largest crowds will come.
Newton expected TO send a hundred peo-
pie il reasonable rates were granted. but
only a few will come unless there is
change The round trip rate at present
Is SIS. One fare plus 80 cents makes
the round trip rate S.31, difference of
X cents. and this is not sufficient in
ducement 10 get people to come. The
same is noticeable at Kingman. Yelling
ton and Winfield. These towns expected
to send large delegations. but the crowd
will be cut down to a few persons.
The committee having the rates in hand
are considerably discouraged over the at
titude of the railroads. The convention
here is a mass convention and not dele
gate convention. The lower the rate the
larger the crowd The committee had A
hard time getting any rate and then
came rate which offers them little en-
couragement 10 get a good crowd Of Odd
Fellows. and letters received here from
various lodges say that many people want
to come, but will not with the present
rate. In former years a rate of one and
fare, and several times one
fare. has been granted and the railroads
have always been pleased with thu bus
mess they received. and the committee
cannot understand what caused them 10
put the rate so high this year. The
matter has been taken up again and it
is hoped that before the end of the week

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
In Store for Those Who Doubt.

When you read that q sufferer of
many years standing has been COM
pletely restored to health by using
Smiths Cure-all, you are inclined to
doubt the statement and, in fact, have
no belief in it whatever. The reason
for this is that so much is claimed for
the Cureall it is impossible for anyone
to believe it; if the advertiser confined
his claims to the curing of one disease,
as do the proprietors of Pyramid Pile
Cure, readers would have much more
faith in published testimonials. Those
familiar with this great remedy know
that testimonials as to its merit may be
relied upon implicitly. also that the
cures brought about by it's use are lit
tie short of marvellous. The genuine
ness of the testimonial here given is
vouched for and is but one of thou
sands received
II wish to write you and tell you
what your Pyramid Pile Cure has done
for me. I have been troubled with
piles for the past five years and used
every remedy that was recommended to
me. While some would give me relief
for a while they never have cured.

Have you an idea how extensive the
stock is in Frederick S. Smith & Co. s
grand store, and have you an idea of
the number of times they turn this
large stock in the course of a year? You
might ask how it can be done, the
secret is in buying goods the people
want at the bottom of the market, in
vast quantities, SO low prices as a
lever will do the quick returning of the
goods into cash. The new ad is one of
the secrets of quick sales and a view of
the upper room is an awful quickener
to trade. An excellent place to deposit
money and save the labor and expense
