JEwETT BREAKS OUT.
Talks just Like other wichita People
About Topeka.

It is evident from the statement of E
B. Jewett of Wichita, who is in Topeka
today getting a charter for a new state
fair proposition to be held at Wichita
from october 8 to 13, that the people
down in his town are not to be counted
on for much assistance in making
success Of the semicentennial exposition.
The old time Wichita jealousy is crop
ping out.
ing was in Wichita toward the semi
centennial. He said:
well, there are a good many people
down there who don't fancy the idea
much. and Will probably fight it,.
What are their reasons2"
"They think" said Mr.. Jewett, that
it will entail big burden on the state;
that it will cost a good deal more than
it is worth They don't see any great
advantages to be derived"
Are the people of Wichita sore be-
cause the exposition was located in To-
peka2"
..Oh. there may be some of them who
are opposed to the exposition on that
ground. The people down in Wichita.
and in a good many other Kansas
towns, don't like the attitude which To-
peka assumes. Most of the big towns
have adopted a policy of openly and
frankly violating the prohibitory liquor
law. while here in Topeka the people
are always pretending that they are a
good deal better than the rest of the
state. They talk so much about their
sanity condition that the rest Of the
people Of the state are inclined to think
that Topeka people believe they are the
only ones who will ever get into the
pearly gates. This makes US tired, be-
cause we believe Topeka is just about
as bad as any of US. Topeka allows
Sunday theaters and we don't in Wichi-
ia. Wichita Is a good business town.
There isn't a street in Wichita, except
out in the abandoned additions, which is
as quiet as Ninth street leading up to
the state house here in Topeka. The
street cars don't run empty down in
Wichita as they do here"
Mr.. Jewett is secretary of a new fair
association which has been organized at
Wichita with $4,000 capital stock. IT
was granted a charter this morning by
the state charter board. The name Of
the company is the Wichita and South
western Fair association. J. E. Howard,
president Of the Wichita Chamber Of
Commerce, is head of the fair associa-
tion Elsbury Martin is treasurer, and
Mr.. Jewett is secretary.
Isn't your fair likely TO conflict with
the big Hutchinson fair?'' was asked Of
Mr. Jewett.
No. sir. not for a minute replied
Mr.. Jewett Hutchinson won't inter-
rere with US any more Cnan WdkaruSa
would interfere with you. Wichita Is
the best place west of Kansas City for
stock sales stables. We have bought q
piece of ground down there, and are 60
ing to put up good buildings which can
be used as. permanent sales sta bles for
fine stock. That is one of the incidental
features Of our company We are on
the Kansas racing circuit. and will build
a new race track. Everything win be
ready BY October s.''

to accompany the remains TO Utah, or

her lips, she looked at the dead man
without uttering word, for fully ten
minutes. Then, leaning forward gently,
she kissed the brow, murmuring: ''Ob,
Arthur, Why did it happen My darling.
NV darling"
The grief of Mrs. Adams was genuine,
aud her tears fell freely. After becom-
ing sufficient composed, she said "Mr.
Brown and we're engaged. 1t was an
engagement which had existed for a
long time. He was to have met me in
New York, and we were then TO go to
