John D. Is Home.

John D. Rockefeller, who came home few days ago after a vacation in France, is a changed man. John D. has loosened up. He Is talking. The change began when on starting for Europe he posed for the newspaper photographers and chat ted pleasantly with the reporters. When he came back he pose@ 1efore sixty-five cameras and amiab-. told ''the gentlemen of the press" about his trip, even saying that he was glad to see them. It was only last March that the oil king sat in his fastnesses at Lakewood with sentinels guarding his grounds by day and search lights sweeping them by night to keep off minions of Attorney General Hadley of Missouri At present MT. Rockefeller breathes kindness to all mankind. Says he:
 T never despair. I believe in men and in the brotherhood of man and am conh- dent that everything will come out for the good of all in the end'

 Mr Byerley had little concern about his ability to pursue the undertaking to a profitable conclusion in case his bids were accepted The result proved that he had figured 10 a neety. In his bids he had arrived at just the figures which enable him to secure allotments at price which made it possible to offer his options for sale to bond brokers As a matter of fact, he secured $5 S06000 of the bonds at frac- ton below 104. A few days after the awards had been announced by Secretary Shaw the bonds were s<lued in open mar ket at little more than S4. This was just what MT Byerley had figured on.

Her Highness the Maharani had to submit to a good deal of this, possibly because she dresses as ladies of her rank always dress in our country"
 This Is undoubtedly true. The folks who made remarks about the personal appear ance of the princess are the sort that will fight their way in a mob or steal in through the cellar to get a glimpse of so-called fashionable wedding.

The Galkwar of Baroda, who came over from India to see how we do things in the United States. has departed after giv- ing us a few pokes under the rihs.

DEMOCRATS At BELOIT.
Crowd at the Congressional Conven-
tion-Possible Candidates.

Beloit, Kas., May 29.-The Demo-
cratic delegates of the Sixth congress
sional district meet here today to nom
mate one of their party for congress.
They are so nervy about it that they
think they can nominate a man who
can beat Congressman Reeder. The
convention will have no delegates.
Chas. NJ. Sawyer. of Norton, is the
chairman, and Henry r. Honey, of
Mankato. is secretary.
So far only two candidates have
engaged hotel accommodations, W. S
Fleming. of Decatur county, and F.
Burleigh johnson. who claims Ellis
county as his home. Russell Harri-
son. of Sheridan county. who Is said
to be an active candidate. hasn't Sc
cured accommodation at this time.
1t is positively claimed that John

cept the nomination under any cir
cumstances. In fact he refuses to
allow the Mitchell county Democrats.

to draft him, either. Rea is the choice
of the Democracy of Mitchell county
and failing in this they viii likely

kato Advocate, and secretary Of the
congressional committee, is of the
opinion that while r. ". Turner is

easily to accept the nomination on an
Independent Democratic ticket and
stand for clean government
The old Democratic wheel horses
of Beloit have believed all along that
John Rea would accept the nomina-
ton, and now that he has positively
declined. they are in hot water and
don't know what to do. D. A. Free
man, J. P gladden. and J. D. Van Hook
have all along claimed that Rea is
the strongest man in the district Next
TO him they would stand for Geo. Abel.
of Lincoln county. but his NOV
ing out Of the Sixth and into the Fifth
district, has brought about double
trouble. The next best thing to do
they say is TO draft" A T. Rodgers
and nominate him. One thing certain.
Sf Rodgers is nominated and elected
he viii stand up for Beloit. He is at
the head Of the Beloit waterworls and
electric light plants, and is one of her
most public spirited citizens and bust
ness men. He also operates one of
the largest elevators in north central
Kansas and is president of the First
National bank.
The fact of it is that business has
been so good out here in the Sixth
district that there Is but little politics
and the big majority Of the voters
have believed IN letting well enough
alone and keeping Congressman Reeder
in washington, where he can do much
more good than a new man can.
There Is little talk that L. H
Wilder's friends in Norton county may
enter him in the congressional race
and similar rumoFs come from Phil
lips county that c.. NJ Cole NAV pei

inee four years ago.

and is being greeted by a host Of
friends, some of whom have wondered
whether he was going to move here
and get into the congressional race. To
all the inquisitors he presented his
business card. which reads as follows:

As TO THE STATE FAR.
A Resident of Richmond Offers Some
Pointed Suggestions.
Rlehmond. Kan.. May ..

Richmond, Kan. May %.
To the Editor Of the Topeka State
Journal:
Your article a few days since rela-
tive to a state fair necessarily attract
ed my attention Being engaged IN
breeding good stock we of course very
easily become interested in this sub
ject.
You have taken the right position
ia insisting upon an old fashioned fair
with stock and agricultural display
and also display of merchandise and
also the horse racing. It takes them
all to make successful fair
Kansas is a great stock and grain
state and where are we IN the matter
Of state fair2 We have to admit, to
our shame, that we are so far behind
we hardly know we are in the race.
This should not be. Let us wake up,
lay aside personal. differences and get
together and make a fair we Will be
proud of.
We have gone to considerable expense
and time in order to put our stock at
Topeka fair for the last three or four
years, but We are willing to continus
it If we can have a fair. It costs time
and money to fit a good show of hogs
for a fair, and the same applies to cat
tie and horses and sheep. In return
we ask the management to arrange
our pens and stalls. Manage the fair
so that we will be comfortable with
our SlOCks IidhC AaA&6 VI IOHAliS LA4CAA
less and further conduct your fair so
that we viii have large crowd there
during the fair week so we can show
the stock to as many people as posi-
bic. There is where We get our pay
for all this. the crowds" for among
them are buyers of good stock. Make
your hog pens comfortable and do nor
build cattle sheds UP against them as
you did last year, for had it not been
for the rain that spoiled the fair we
would have lost hogs from heat.
Use your time and lumber to give
US the best possible for money spent.
Make up your minds what you are go
ing to do and do it quick. for it takes
time to get stock in shape to make
creditable show and we all have some
pride in this show business.
AS soon as you decide to have a fair
and a good one get the parties, who
travel the state for newspapers inter
and divide up the state and at once
visit the stockfnen, first writing them
your plans and get them to agree to
bring something. If they can not
bring 1 0, bring what they can, and get
it in good shape.
Get after the railroads for low rates
to the fair and to run excursions on
fair days and let US have a grand ola
country fair upon a very large scale
and then when the legislature meets
we will have the courage to go before
/ them and appeal to their pride to do
something for state fair.
am now resident of this state Is
years and proud to say born here and
4 there Is no one thing could please me
better than to see a good state fair in
Kansas.
Yours for a clean, up to date fair.
Promising much and doing all we
promise c. F.. DIETRICH.
