The feature of the county fair at
Buringame yesterday was an automo-
bile party from Topeka including Mr..
and Mrs George w. Snyder, Miss Gala
Cutteil Mr.. Kurtz Kellam of Kansas
orb 5-- 7
Smith, Miss Nellie Millspaugh and Mr..
Harry Southwick. The party and the
Snyder and Southwick touring cars in
which they made the trip created al
most a sensation and they had hardly
arrived on the grounds before they
were approached by the fair manage
Il nents and requested. to race their ma
chimes for the edification of the crowd.
They consented and at the end of the
horse races gave an automo bile race
which put every other attraction at
the fair, even to the snake charmer
and merry go-round, out of business
for the time being The ball game
/ which followed the races on the pro-
gramme of the day was postponed I'M
til after the visitors had finished the
race which was highly exciting, but
proved q tie Fortunately for the
credit of Topeka motorists the menu
bers of the party were gotten up in
approved style. Mr.. SouthWick wore
his automobile coat, cap, goggles and
gaunuets and the young women were
IN dust coats and long chiffon wells. SO
that. the crowd at the fair could feel
that they were looking on the real
thing. Not to be outdone in gener-
osity the fair management made the
visitors. from Topeka guests of honor
and gave them all the privileges of the
fair and side attractions free of charge
turned the town over to them, IN
fact-so that they really had the time
OF their lives.
The marriage of Miss Iva williams
ana Mr.. Frank Wilson will take place
Wednesday evening of next week at the
home OF the brides aunt, Mrs. George
II Whitaker on Clay street. Mrs. T. c.
Whitaker will give a party tomorrow
evening in honor of Miss Williams.

however, ought to be above a fear Of

A Topeka man and girl are going to be
married this fall. The date is set and
has been for months. The young people
are prominent and popular" so the
wedding is one of considera BILE interest
and practically everybody in town knows
about it. In fact there has been no at
tempt to keep It secret and the pro-
spective bride and groom discuss their
plans freely with all their friends. The
groom has engaged the apartment where
they are to live and in fact his name a t
that address is In the telephone direc-
tories already. But they refuse to give
the newspapers consent to announce the
ngagement-why, it would be impossi-
Bile to tell. OF course the newspa pers
don't have to wait for their consent
they could publish it without if they
wanted to and of course as everybody in
town knows about the wedding anyway
it isn't especially valuable as news
item as there is no one sinterestNi ex-
eept possibly some out of town friends
of the young people concerned, who read
the Topeka papers, to whom their en-
gagement would be news. But this is
the way engaged people always act
about their engagements and the news
papers as a rule humor them in it al
! though this is the only class of news
which is so treated. When anything
else happens of interest to the public a
reporter Is not supposed to consider
whether or not the people concerned
want it published-ile is merely sup
posed to ind out whether it is true. II
it is true it is usually published. And
, why shouldn't an engagement be pub
lished? What is there about it to make
the contracting parties so tinid. wher
the wedding day is set and the arrange
ments made? When an engagement il
new and promises to be a long one there
is reason for not announcing it fkrmal
~. Nine chances in ten the wedding
win never take place. or at least not a
the time first planned, and some embar-
