THAT STATE FAIR
Wichita and Topeka Agree-Hutchin-
son Dissents.

The proposition to establish Kansas
state fair will probably be officially
presented to the state legislature within
q few days.
A number of persons interested in the
project from various parts of the state
have been in Topeka the last few days
and conferences have been held among
private individuals and representatives
and senators from the cities interested
for the discussion of the project and
also to decide upon legislative features
of the proposition.
A conference was recently participa-
ted in by representatives and senators
from Topeka, Wichita and Hutchinson
for the purpose of agreeing upon leglSla-
ton looking toward the adjustment
of a state fair.
1t developed at that conference that
Hutchinson will probably be in favor
of legislation esta blishing a state fair at
Hutchinson, Kan, but unless this 10
cation is specified in the bill represen-
tatives from that city will be opposed
to the legislature taking action on the
propect; while on the other hand rep
resentatives of Topeka and Wichita de-
sire the establishment of state ta1r
and are willing to leave the matter of
location to the decision of majority
in both houses of the legislature.
1t is learned that a number OF pri-
vate individuals and members of the
legislature from Hutchinson SoL To-
gether last night and decided not to
favor any bill that did not specify the
location of the fair at Hutchinson.
Members of the legislature from
Wichita and Topeka will probably in
troduce bills in the senate and house
within a few days providing an APP
OF $150.O00 for establish
ing a state fair, the location of which
shall be decided by majority vote of
the house and senate in joint session.
1t appears so far as can be ascer-
tanned at this time that Topeka and
Wichita are willing to take their
chances of securing the location of the
state fair on a vote of the members
Of the legislature, while Hutchinson de-
sires a state fair at Hutchinson or no
state fair at all.
Senator Corey of Reno county in
troduced a bill today providing that
the state fair shall be held at Hutch

DODGE JURY SERVICE.
Nashville Citizens Fight Shy of Box in
Carmack Trial.

Nashville. Tenn. Jan. 21.-With four
Jurors already in the box, and with the

rapidly as possible the second day of the
Cooper murder trial opened.
The crowd gathered early and fought
good naturally for the front auditorium

The gallery filled rapidly afterwards.
The eager interest in the trial rivals that

Wealthiest farmers in the state.
1t has become evident that those who
do not desire to serve on the jury have
discovered the only sure way of esca ping

to use it. The judge was visibly annoyed
and pressed the questions closely, but the
law is mandatory and he was compelled
reluctantly to excuse those who claimed
to be prejudiced.

CUTTING AND SLASHING
Anti-Lobby Bill Too Sweeping and
Drastic for House.

When the house convened this at
ternoon the anti-lobby bill came on
for debate and amendment pending
roll call vote for final passage. It soon
became apparent that the temper of
the house was against any drastic an
tilobby measure. Four amendments
to section one of the bill passed the
house in quick succession.
The terms of the measure applying
to what constitutes a lobbyist were
too sweeping and the time when lob
byists are prohibited from approach
ing the members was limited to the
actual sessions of the Legislature and
not to embrace the entire two years
of office of the member.
Cunningham of Cowley, Mitchell of
Douglas, Ryan of Brown and Buck
man of Cowley were among the first
to widen the scope of the bill and
remove some of the more drastic pro-
visions of the proposed law.
Debate on the bill occupied a great
err part of the afternoon session and
before it reached the roll call it had
been greatly modified and much of
the vitriol of reform removed from its
enacting clause.

neral Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Uniformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
