The Kansas state fair management
has found it necessary to provide ad-
ditional quarters for the live stock that
will be exhibited at the fair in Topeka
during the week of September IA to 10.
Fifty additional box stalls for horses,
fifty additional stalls for cattle and fifty
additional hog pens are already under
way. Before the fair opens it will prob
ably be necessary to build more stalls
and pens for stock.
If necessary several large tents will
be used for stock William Sells, OF the
Sells and Downs circus which wintered
at the fair grounds in Topeka, left be-
hind several large tents used by the
circus for horses and stock. These tents
are at the disposal of the fair manage
ment and if found necessary they will be
used.
The fifty new stalls for horses are
being built around hollow square anc
in connection with the big horse barn.

NOTES OF THE AQUARIUM.
New Yorlz's Display of Tropical Fishes
Now About at Its Best.

With 222 additional specimens, includ-
ing fishes of twenty-five varieties re-
1 ceived last week from Bermuda, the
aquarium's display of tropical fishes is
now at about the height of its attract
iveness. One more shipment of Bermu-
| da fishes will be received this season.
Two fishes just received here from local
waters that might vie with even some
of the brightest of the swimmers from
| trODic seas. are two orange file fish,
taken in Gravesend bay. They are beau
tiful in coforing, the larger one espec-
! tally so. 1t might be called a lemon,
instead of an oragne file fish, the under
part of its head being of a bright and
beautiful yellow, while the under side
of it's body is less brightly tinted with
/ the same color. ss
The file fish, in form, is about as
homely fish as there is, and it has a
way of suspending itself in the water
head downward, so that it appears to
be standing on its head 1t maintains
that position in a greater or less degree
in swimming. For these reasons, as well
as because of their great beauty of COL
oring, these specimens of the orange file
fish attract great attention. One of two
ceived lately at the aquarium is five feet
in length 1t is the largest the aquar-
ium has received thus far this season.
Sharke came north on their annual
migration this year a little later than
usual. and those so far taken in local
waters have been rather small. There
are now nine small sharks. including
the new five-footer, in ths-aquariums
central pool. More and larger Holsters
have been placed in the lobster and
crab tank The crabs there include blue
crabs, green crabs and rock crabs.
Great numbers of people find this tank
one of the most interesting of all in the
aquarium. The tropical fishes, with
their great beauty. may cause wonder
and delight. but the homely crabs and
Holsters, with their ceaseless activities,
and their frequent. squabbles. and their
! endless antics as they climb rocks. and
fall off them make no end of fun and
arouse perpetual interest.
It could stand here and look at these
Holsters and crabs all day" said one
visitor. and he looked like a serious,
sober-minded man. too. Among addi-
tons to the aquariums fresh water
stock last week were eighteen mirror
carp, the largest of them being twenty
six or twentyseven inches in length
and Weighing probably about seven
pounds. 1t Is doubtful if any public
show place in New York has more WISH
tors from out of town than the aquar-
ium. Every visitor to New York, appar-
emily, has settled on the aquarium as
one of the places that must be SEEM

Thad Sowder closed the deal with a
three round bout with a horse which
was guaranteed to be real bad.
During the performance two horses

punchers. They even went so far as
to ride Green's green stock, never be-

cigarettes at the same time.

too, to the greater attention paid the
subjects by the big transportation com
panies This added to the part of en-
ployees makes journeying alone for

bun den.
The New York Central shows itself
to be in the front rank in this matter
as ia so many others were the comfort
of it's travellers is concerned. The
Central for instance advertises that
it's employees "wiil meet you at the
pier on your arrival in port. that
this means mucn to some people can be
seen from the following letter to Geo.
H. Daniels from very prominent bust
ness man of Minneapolis. The letter
states IL have just received from my

try she will come west over your road

The Central makes a point of meet
ing steamship passengers, arranging
for the transfer of thei' baggage and
seeing that they are introduced to the
pursers and stewards and in every way
making travelling a pleasure, not a
burden. 1t is characteristic of Ameri-

Celebrate Golden Wedding

Mr.. and Mrs j. L. MOak celebrated
their golden wedding Monday having

dence here Mr. Moak has been a pro
minent figure in Republican politics,
taking an active part in the stirring
national and state campaigns covering
period of more than forty years. He

been postmaster here for twenty-three
years under the administrations of
Presidents johnson, Grant, Hayes,
as alderman and supervisor of the First
ward several terms and in 1895 was

democratic city, which shows that the
people had faith in his ability and
good citizenship. During the first
seven years of his residence here he
was engaged in the dry goods business
and received his first appointment as
postmaster in 1867. Mr.. Moak was
a newspaper writer Of marked ability
aud at one time was editor of the Wa
ertown Republican when John Lawton

tributed freely to it's editorial columns.
