GOOD WORD FROM EMPORIA
What They Think of Coming State
Fair.

The following good words about the
coming state fair are from the Emporia
Gazette:
For one week, from Monday to Sat
urday inclusive from the 18th to the
18th of September, the Kansas state fair
will be held a Topeka.
So great an interest has already been
manifest in the event that on July
Secretary Charles H. Samson, of the
State Exposition company having
charge of the fair, made arrangements
for additional space for all varieties of
exhibits in both the live stock and agri-
cultural sections. This great interest in
the fair so long in advance is undoubt-
edly partly due to the universal pros
perity over the state this year. The rec
rd-breaking wheat crop, the increased
number of all breeds of live stock with
in the borders of Kansas and the gen
eral feeling of content and absence of
worry of the farmers and stock raiserS
are some of the factors which have Gre
ated this universal interest in the Kan
sas state fair at Topeka, over the entire
state.
/. Notwithstanding the great demands
of exhibitors all will be comfortably
quartereA and will receive every atten-
ton from the management. From al
most every county in the state word
has been sent to Secretary Samson that
exhibits, to show the chief resources of
the county, will be made at the fair in
Topeka With such interest manifest
over the entire state the Kansas state
fair at Topeka in 1903 will eclipse all
others ever held in the state.

ground at their feet. Then she took her
favorite steed out of the show ring.
The incident occurred in one of the
first events of the day, a competition for
saddle horses. There were ten entries
competing against La Contributor, near
~ all of which were novice horses, here
tofore unknown in the show ring. One

lands chestnut mare, COrinne, was
awarded the blue ribbon; another c. E.
Myricks Highland received the red rib
bon; Louis Sherry's Sol Distant, noted
prize winner at other shows was placed

SALUTES FIRED
By American Fleet in Honor of Por-
tuguese Holiday.

Lisbon, July 31.-Today being the an
niversary of the granting of the Portu-
guese constitution and also the anniver-
sary of the birth of the Duke of Oporto,
brother of King Charles, the cabinet
ministers went to- the royal castle at
Cintra and congratulated the royal fam
lily. The United States European squad
ron and the Portuguese ships in these
waters dressed ship for the occasion
and fired salutes. Owing to the observ-.
ance of this holiday the luncheon which
Rear Admiral Cotton was to give on
board the Brooklyn today to the minis
ter of public works, was postponed in
definitely. The day on which the BAN
quet is to be given on board the Brook
lyn to the Portuguese ministers and To-
cal authorities has not yet been deter
mined upon. Portuguese officials con-
tinue to visit the American ships and
are cordially received.
The attention of the public here has
been called to the fact that there are
large numbers of Portuguese, formerly
belonging to the Azore islands, serving
as sailors on board the American ships
generally and as musicians on board
the flagship Brooklyn. 1t is reported
here that the United States cruiser Chi
cago will sail for New York tomorrow
to undergo extensive repairs there.

ENJOINS A BALLOON TRIP.
Nebraska Farmer Says Parachute
Often Falls on His Land.

Omaha, July 31.-Claus Nelson, a
farmer living near CORTLAND Beach, a
resort near here, has brought suit
against the management and King Muir
ply, an aeronaut, to restrain them from
making a balloon ascension from the
park. Nelson has no particular objection
to the balloon ascension, but he claims
the prevailing winds invariably drive
the balloon so that it falls on his land
and the crowds which rush over to the
spot and the men who come to rescue
the balloon have damaged his crops and
threaten to destroy them.
On several occasions the management
has been forced to pay small sums in
order to recover the balloon and the
other day Nelson demanded 500 which
they refused to pay, and replevined the
balloon. The injunction suit is the re-
suit
