There Is every reason why all OIL
western and central Kansas, two thirds Of
the state at least, should work together in
tue interest of locating tho state fair for
1903 at Hutchinson. Topeka, off in one
corner Of the state with her reputation
for playing any and every meeting held
there for the almighty dollar, will ask
the coming legislature for an appropra-
tlon of $4,000 to expend on a state fair.
Hutchinson will get into the game and
will make quite as strong an effort to
have the state fair located In Reno
county. Hutchlnsons private enter
prise last year secured the first recogni-
ton ever given to Kansas by the National
Breeders association. Her fair Is already
established as successful meeting, The
location Is splendid, being on the Givid-
ing line between the more strictly agri.
cultural half of the state to the east and
the cattle raising section to the west,
With the state fair at Hutchinson the
people of the western portion of Kansas
could attend and have exhibits on the
ground. 1t would be equally as handy
for eastern Kansas. There 1t would be
given as great stock and agricultural
exhibit. 1t would be given In the heart
of the country which has something to
exhibit besides potatoes and politicians.
1t would be In the center Of the Arkansas
Valley circuit, the only fair circuit In
Kansas. tits important to western and
central Kansas to have a state fair, and it
is important to get 1t located at Hutchiu-
son, because 1t Is not only the most CEN
trail location, but is absolutely the best
town In Kansas for a big fair meeting.

4 Night Was Grand Success.
A large number Of railroad people and
their friends participated in the ball
given by the Brotherhood of Railway
Tainmen, last night at the rink and it
was one Of the best dances which has
ever been held in this city.
A large number of visitors from out of
town were present, Newton, laJunta,
Pueblo and Ration being represented.
The decorations Of the ball room we're
artistic and were representations of OBJ
jects familiar around the railroads. Sig
nal lanterns surrounded the entire hall
and were of green and red. AT the east
end Of the rink was a large painting of a
box car and a caboose, andat the entrance
at the out side Of the building was the
switch lamps and huge head light
During the grand march the electric
lights were turned out and the beautiful
green and red lights dimly illuminated
the vast room. .,
Everybody, it seemed, was there to
have good time and the ball progressed
withouta hitch, and they danced the old
year out and the new year in.
The floor committee managed with
much credit to themselves. The com.
mittee consisted Of Messrs. Ed Garner,
G. E. Park, A. P. Kolley, W. @. Edding.
ton and Ben Oldham Of Pueblo.
The members of the reception com.
mittce were Messrs. Bob Stevenson,
Wm. Longwell and Jas. Beattle. A
The music for the occasion was furn-
nished by Beeson's orchestra and they
played in their usual good style.

eres's of the state are rapidly increasing

building sugar factory along the valley,
that through the dairy we can learn, In

hear, and have good reason 10 believe Of
the returns, the results will lie most hap
py and gratifying, and when 1t has
proved it's value along these lines, there
is no question but the people here will
take kindly to beet culture, will talk and
grow beets, and It will go out to the
country at large that we have the soil

to that culture, then u factory coming in,
Investing Its large capital, will feel more
certain in their investments when 1t has

Meantime, anything that will add to the
of the dairy interests In Kan
las is worthy Of a trial irrespective Of any |
probable or possible sugar factory. |

BEWARE or PEDDLERS
Trade'wth People You Know to be
Responsible Is the Best Rule.

A local dealer says: "Tell the people
to look out for stove pedders who are
flooding the country with cheap stoves.
Although they may be attractive and
handled by set of smooth unassumlng
sharpers, with hypnotic influence, who
soon yet llle unsuspecting victims capti-
vated by a strong tie Of an iron clad con-
tract with note attached, 1t will
cause many a sleepless night, and an
aching heart before he is relieved of that
fatal step. When you are approached,
stand firm; consult your nearest dealer If
you need stove, and get fair DEAL"
The dealer Is certainly right. Nine
times out Of ten when you patronize a
stranger who is peddling wares In a
strange country, you get the worst of 1t.
The bis; rule is to buy of your local
dealer whom you know is responsible,
and who II any thing proves wrong is
where you can have itrlghtel.

BARREL MURDER CASE
STILL BATTLES POLICE,
Now Think the Murdered Man Was
DtcOyed from New Orleans.


New York, April 16.-Vito Laduca,
who was supposed to have been the
proprietor of the butcher shop in
Stanton street, where nine arrests were
made last night in connection with the
murder of the man found in a barrel
in East Eleventh street, last Tuesday
morning, surrendered himself at police
headquarters to-day and was held by
the police as a witness.
Nikola Testro, 10 years old. who lives
with Laduca, also went to police head
quarters and was detained by the po-
lice for the same purpose.
AT the place in Elizabeth street kept
by Giuseppe Morrello, who was one of
the men arrested last night, the police
have locked the doors and placed
heavy padlocks on them. In the store
was found a quantity of sawdust and
burlap, and Detective Petrisonio took
some of it to police headquarters To-
day for examination and comparison
with that found in the barrel, and
about the murdered mans neck.
The police are now said to believe
that the murdered man was deceived
from New Orleans to New York and
murdered in cafe in Elizabeth street,
They believe he brought with him, full
OF his own clothing, the barrel in which
his body was found. The barrel is one
of shipment of ESQ sent to New Or
leans. A description of the murdered
man has been sent to the New Orleans
police, and they are expected to try to
