tions, and everyone will get value
received. Mr.. Parker's manager an
nounces from the front of each
show that if you are not satisfied,
just stop at the box Office on your
way out and get your money back.
The company will appear here on
commission basis, and the free list
will be severely cut. Many of our
people are making arrangements to
go into camp this year, and spend
the entire week on the grounds. 1t
is we'll known that the campers are
the ones who get the real enjoy
ment out of the reunion. Besides,
it is good idea to spend one week
in the year in the open air. Your
physician will tell you that.

"A bird in the hand ia worth two
in the bush" Every man means to
make Investments some time. But
time is fleeting. The days that are
gone are freighted with what might
have been. will the future be diff
ferent from the past, unless you
take definite action: Put yourself
on record as having started. When
one is committed to an obligation
he will meet it-and the bird will
be in hand. See Daniels & Plumb
for birds not yet in the bush.

Arrangements are fast being
made for the big reunion to be held
at Reuuiop Park August 20 to Sept,
3. The park is being cleaned up
and put in shape, and when the re-
union opens the grounds will be in
better shape than ever before. The
water system is being improved,
new buildings are being erected,
and everything bettered. Privileges
are in demand already, and the in
dications are that all the conses-
sions will be spoken for by the time
of the opening. The tent contracts
have been made and the advertise
ing matter is already being scat
tered over the country. Good
speakers in great plenty have ac-
cepted invitations to be present,
and there is 40 doubt but that the
oratory of the big reunion will be
all that could be desired. The spe-
cial attraction this year, aside from
the camp fires and oratory. will be
the Great Parker Amusement Com
pany, which has been contracted
with to furnish all the amusements.
This company will have twenty fine
shows on the ground and four fine
bands of music. There is not
show in the whole aggregation that
is not strictly up to date in every
way and not immoral. Every min
lister in the city will be invited by
Mr.. Parker himself to visit every
show and pass judgement thereon
The judgement is not feared by
either Mr.. Parker or the reunion
management. This wonderful ag-
gregation is the largest amusement
concern in the world, twenty-six ex-
ira large cars being used to haul 1t.
The amusement train will arrive in
this city on Sunday evening, Au-
gust 2Sth, at about 3 O'Clock. This
may seem little late to get things
ig shape for the opening next day,
but when it is understood that
every man has certain duty to
perform, and knows how TO do it, it
will be seen that the time will be
sufficient. Every show will be in
place and ready for business on
time. The Parker people carry with
their outfit three engines and dyna-
mos, and make their own lights.
The carnival grounds alone. 500 feet
square, will be lighted by 200 eiec-
trio lights, virtually turning night
into day. Everywhere this compa-
ny has been this season it has given
universal satisfaction, and only
words of praise have been heard
from people who have seen the
shows. OF course most of the shows
will charge an admission fee, but
there will be several free attrac-

The more we see of the workings
of the Kansas tax laws the less we
think of them. The system under
which assessments for taxation is
made in this state makes a whole
lot of liars and perjurers, and taken
all in all makes a bad mess of
things. Take this years assess
ments in Kansas, for example. The
assessors found only four million
dollars in the state, yet the bank
reports show that
the bank deposits of the state are
one hundred and four millions.
Did anybody lie when he made his
returns to the assessor? What do
you think? In come parts of the
state horses we're assessed at four
dollars a head, while in other Sec
tions they we're assessed at twenty
dollars a head. The taxation Law of
Kansas is a daisy, we don't think.
