THE MIDWINTER FAIR.
Preliminary Circulars Issued by Mr..
Brigham.

Secretary r. S. Brigham. of the Kan
SaS Midwinter Fair association, today
sent out several thousand announce
nnents of the big show, to manufactu
ers and prospective exhibitors. The
circular is a handsome affair of brown
and aluminium print on old blue rough
paper. 1t contains four folds and is
closed with a gilt seal bearing the
stamp: 1.-The Kansas Midwinter Expo
sition associa ton. No envelope is used.
On the face are printed the words:
"Expositions are the time-keepers of
progress This sentence was one of
the famous utterances Of President Nc
Kinley. The whole circular is in keep
ing with the handsome ones which Sec
rotary Brigham put out in the previous
years of the fair.
The announcement itself follows:
Because of the popularity evidenced
by. the patronage accorded the MfdwEn-
ter expositions of the past three years
by both exhibitors and visitors, and the
expressed intention on the part of many
of those who have made exhibits, to
again avail themselves of an opportun-
ity to exploit their products fourth

These Facts Must Convince Every
Topeka Reader.

The statement which follows tells the
experience of a resident of Topeka. In
credulity cannot long exist about this
testimony because it can easily be in
vestigated.
Mrs. A. VonWolf, of 2024 Buchanan
street. says: II overtaxed myself and
brought on severe backache. At first I
paid little attention to it, thinking it
would pass away in a few days, but in
stead it grew worse. When I exerted
myself or caught a slight cold 1 was
sure to suffer from severe pains in my
back especially at night when my rest
was so much disturbed. finally became
so bad I could scarcely attend to my
work. Coming to the conclusion that
the trouble originated in my kidneys,1

undertaken, it was without any plans
as regards making them an annual
event The fact that each succeeding
year the efforts of the management to
make that particular exposition the su-
perior of its predecessors have met with
patrons lends much encouragement to
undertake the work of again eclipsing
previous attempts. :
The exposition of 1905 will be con-
ducted along industrial lines as hereto
fore and no pains will be spared to
present a practical demonstration OF
manufactured products covering as
wide a range as possible.
We have now in preparation a pros
pectus. giving a more comprehensive
idea of the purposes and scope of the
exposition, copy of which we shall be
glad to mail you.

TwENTY-EIGHrH GOES EAST.
Regiment Has Been at San Francisco
Nearly a Year.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-After nearly a
year spent in the infantry cantonment at
the Preside, where it had been since its
return from Mindanao last year. the
Twenty-eighth infantry has left this city
for its new stations at Fort Smelling,
Mimi, and Fort Lincoln, n. D., under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel w. L.
Pitcher, Colonel Sweet, the regular COM
mander of the regiment, being already in
the east on leave of absence. The TWen
ty-first infantry, which arrived late Fri
day night, will remain in the cantonment
vacated by the Twenty-eighth, until the
early spring, when it will proceed to the
Philippines, being relieved at the Preside
by either the Fourteenth or the Twenty
third infantry, both of which regiments
will soon be ordered home from the is
lands.

BLOCKADE OF TRAINS.
New System of Switches Makes Trou-
bic on Long Island Railroad.

New York. Nov S.-A great blockade
of passenger trains at the Long Island
City terminal of the Long Island rail-
road, due to the installation of new
system of switches began TO give way
early today. Trains of minor import
ance were disregarded, however, in an
lines.
Thousands of commuters reached
Long Island City by ferry after their
days business in Manhattan only to
find little prospect of getting home by
rail- Some of them organized into troll
ley parties and finally reached home
after two or three hours ride by cir
cuitouS routes.
Trains from the east continued to ar
rive regularly as long as the rolling
stock held out, but they got no further
than the yard limits. The officials had
quite as much trouble getting trains
into the yards over the great network
of tracks as they did in getting them
out SO that a shortage of cars soon re-
suited. A big crowd of racegoers on
the way to Aqueduct gathered soon
after the morning rush had been dis
posed of. Running of the regular race
trains was out of the question. A
string of 20 cars were coupled into one
train and got away at the hour for the
departure of the regular last train.
Trolley officials We're quick to recog-
nize their opportunity and the cars on
their lines moved past the terminal in
a continuous procession for hours,
greatly relieving the situation. In the
scramble for seats on the trolley cars
during the rush hours many women and
children were knocked down and Sc
verely injured

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.
To be Voted at Next Tuesdays EIsc-
ton.

The Leader Office is this week
printing the official ballots to be
used at next Tuesdays general
election. There has been so little
political agitation here in Missis-
sippi that there are thousands of
voters who scarcely know that an
election is to be held, or the names
of the candidates and electors OF
all the several parties in the field.
There will be four parties repre-
scented on the official ballot in Mis-
sissippi, viz: Democratic, Re-
publican, Populist and Socialist.
The Prohibition party, which is
making an active fight in several
of the Northern and Western
States, has no electoral ticket in
Mississippi.
Of course Mississippi will &C
Democratic, as usual, but it is i'm
portant that the voters know the
names of the nominees for cleo.
tors by the several parties, in or.
der to vote intelligently. There
will be nothing on the official bal
lots to indicate to which party ar
elector belongs, but the voter will
be expected to make an x mark
opposite the names of ten. The
following are the electors Of the
several parties having representa-
ton on the official ballot, and it il
important that the voter familiar.
ize himself with the names in ad
vance, so he will know which ones
to vote for, as there will be moth
ing on the ballot to distinguish
them by parties;
