Also that the president of the Hutchin-
son Commercial club was representative
| from Reno county and he would work
in the legislature for the state fair at
Hutchinson. The representative from
Wichita was elected on the state fair
issue: The governor favors the Topeka
proposition also the gOvernor-elect. The
fair association owns grounds valued at
$125,OO0 and the city's fair assets are
placed at $500, 000.
A preliminary campaign was planned
last night and it will be carried out
while the permanent committees and
parties get together. All of the nearby
counties will be canvassed and asked
to support Topeka in the fair PROPOSE
ton. 1t was suggested that the funds
of the Kansas Exposition company be
turned over to the state fair. Home
legislators will be asked and pledged to
support their city in the coming vote.
All of the commercial organizations in
the city will be combined for the work
The value of the state fair to Topeka
is unlimited and the business men real
ize it.
During the enthusiasm last night E.
H. Crosby was nominated as president
of the Commercial club by w. w. Mills.
The nomination was seconded by men
all over the room and cries of Speech!
You're 1t! Let's get togetheri Crosby
is the mani" were heard but on taking
the floor and succeeding in getting
things quiet Mr.. Crosby declined the
nomination with thanks. he SAID IndI
he intended to open the Oakland wooden
mills which have been closed for the
last nine months on account of the
panic and this would take all of his
spare time. He also mentioned other
interests in which he was interested
and he could not accept the nomination.
However" said Mr.. Crosby, Il will be
glad to accept the position in a few
years hence when I am able to spend
my time away from my business"
The meeting closed last night after
several discussions concerning the state
fair and an appointment of working
bodies for the coming fair campaign.
After the adjournment the member
of the Jobbers' and Manufa cturers' as
so citation, now a permanent organiza-
ton and the guests stood around the
hotel lobby in groups talking of the
great success of the meeting and the
assured future of the city. Every man
in attendance stated that it was one
of the most enthusiastic meetings ever
held by party of Topeka business
men, All of the old movements for
Greater Topeka were revived and the
spirit that invented "75, 900 in 1911"
was prevalent.
w J. Berkowitz of Kansas CitN was
much impressed with the meeting. He
said to the State Journal reporter last
night;
afternoon and marvel1ed at its beauty
and cleanliness, but the spirit and en-
thusiasm displayed by your business
men is far more beautiful than the
CITY itself Topeka should do wonders
in the next few years. These men are
capable of doing anything and Topeka
is in a situation to take a great adj
vantage of anything that might pre-
sent itself"

are magnificent. Take for instance
the Seymour Packing company. If
the eggs handled in one year by this
company were placed end to end
they would extend 5000 miles or al
most twice across the continent. If

w. w. Mills-'I CAM see where 1
have been very selfish in the past by
paying too much attention to my own
business affairs and not to the affairs
of the city at large. I have felt
guilty during the talk by Mr.. Berko-
witt and hereafter 1 agree to do
everything L can to help the growth
of the city =.
W. H Heath was called upon to
make the next talk and he touched
off the cannon when he mentioned the
coming state fair and the work that
Topeka must accomplish to get this
affair.
E. H. Crosby whipped up, his fire
and it was not long before the whole
meeting was a continuous roar. The
state fair looked like a reality and To-
peka was bound to be the host. While
these discussions were going on the
biggest bomb of the evening" was eX-
ploded and it's effect was marvellous.
F. s. Crane who had been sitting
near the back of the room apparently
enjoying the situation rose from his
seat and demanded attention. When
all eyes were turned on him he said:
There has been a Hutchinson man
sitting beside me here this evening.
He has heard all of this talk. But he
just left the room and before he went
he turned to me and said: Topeka
will never get this state fair. If
necessary both Hutchinson and Wich-
.ita will combine and fight the capital
city to the finish. However, I can as
sure you that we will not have to
com bine as Topeka will not get it.
We will offer twice as much -
These words fell like a cannon
cracker among the assembled inter
ests of the city. But the blow was the
best thing that could have possibly
happened. The meeting rose as a man
and for a half hour the state fair pro-
position was fully discussed. 1t was
pointed out that if Topeka gets the
state fair all of the commercial inter-

TAKE A TONIC
FOR NEURALGIA
Highest Medical Authorities
Agree on Treatment for
This Painful Disease.

Neuralgia is Inflammation of a
nerve. This Inflammation is some
times caused by exposure to cold,
sometimes by the nerve irritation
arising from a decayed tooth. OF all
causes, however, general debility
of the system is by far the most fire.
quent- The most eminent nerve
specialists and the greatest medical
writer's agree on this point. In the
debilitated condition following the
grip, colds, malaria and other weak
enlng diseases, the nerves fail to re-
celve sufficient nourishment and an
Inflammation results
Authorities agree also that the
proper treatment for neuralgia is to
build up the strength and health of
the body. A nourishing diet and tonic
treatment will accomplish this but
cannot. Where neuralgia is appar-
emily cured 1t generally returns I'M
less the general health is restored.
A tonic remedy which builds up the
same time directly strengthens the
nervous system is DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. This peculiar property makes
them the most valuable tonic for the
home treatment of neuralgia, a fact
proven by the following case recently
reported.

this way fast time will be made and
the number of participants greatly in

summer each runner covered more than
half mile.
The boy who was selected to make
the start has a patriotic sounding
name peculiarly appropriate for the
occasion. He is George Washington

coincidence or the result of a decision
of the committee on arrangements was
not made known.

from the rules of the race to Chicago,

Topeka business men. but he told
them the plain truth augmented by
Illustrations OF his own city and To-

After this interesting and enthusiast
tic talk different Topeka business men
were called upon to make short talks
on the present conditions of the city.
The spirit OF their talks was as fol-

G. K. Holiday: "The Topeka Com
mercial club is waiting for a new
head. When it gets together with
the spirit it has received tonight

Frank P. MacLennan-''The address
