GOING AWAY TO Die.
Sad Case of Franz Cedarstan,
Pennsylvania Man.

A mans willingness to make per-
sonal sacrifices for his family even
unto the bitter end. was brought out
today when Franz Cedarstan, whose
phia, stopped at the Provident asso-
citation headquarters on his way to
Arizona, where he is being sent by
friends in search of health.
With only meager funds. and al
most 20 years old, Cedarstan is max
ing his way from the east to the
southwestern territory. He arrived
here from Kansas City where he was
confined in a hospital for five weeks
past. The man is in a pitiable con-
dition- and the sight has left one eye.
The other is affected.
Some years ago, the man who is
now travelling on the charity of
friends, was a prosperous Pennsyl-
vania farmer His wife was taken
with malignant cancer, and died. Be
long treatment in hospitals and medi-
cal aid which went far into the hun
dreds of dollars. was accorded her.
Not content with that. fate had
further misfortune in store. Within
six months after the death of the
mother, the two children were taken
with diphtheria and died. Saddened,
heart-broken and near-penniless the
fathers health failed, and his advanc-
ing age made it impossible to stay the
decline. By this time his funds had
been exhausted, but friends came to
the rescue, and he was started for
Arizona, where it was believed the
climate would be conducive to better
health.
All went well until Kansas City
was reached when Cedarstan was at
tackled with a spell of illness which
landed him in hospital. After he
recovered somewhat he resumed his
journey with the result that he
reached Topeka last night. He re-
sumed his journey today, aged and
decrepit, but with a feeling that his
sacrifice had been for naught

FAIR MEETING THURSDAY
Flans Meeting a Ready Response
From Business Men.

The committee of sixteen, including
the chairman which has been selected
to act as an advisory board in con-
rlection with the organization of a. new
corporation which has as its object
securing for Kansas a great state fair,
will meet at the Commercial club
quarters Thursday noon, at which time
definite steps will be taken in respect
to the incorporation of the new COM
lany.
1t has been practically decided that
the capital stock of the new organiza-
ton will be 100000, but at this meet
ing final decision will be made in
regard to this point. The success of
the new enterprise seems assured as
already upwards of 100000 worth of
stock has been spoken for, and it
seems that the people of the state, in
Guiding the stockmen, agriculturists,
and others are getting tired of seeing
Kansas far behind the other agricul-
tural states when it comes to state
fair.

Lack of concentration on the part of
the people it is not strange that Kan
sas has not been able to hold its own
as compared with the other states. AS
Kansas is one of the greatest agricul-
tural states in the Union there is no
reason why the state should not have
n immense fair which will be an ad-
vertisement to the commonwealth by
within her own boundaries and else
where, and adequately portraying what
The state is capable of producing.
The new company as planned, which
will be representative of the entire
etate, intends to do things on a big
scale, and it is a general idea that
when the members of the state legis-
iature see that there is an existing
corporation which means business and
is working for the good of the state,
they will follow the example of the
lawmaking bodies of other states and
appropriate money to aid the good
cause.
One of the first things that should
he done is to erect permanent fireproof
buildings large enough to meet the nat
ural growth of the fair from year to
year.

the committee of sixteen selected to
act in an advisory capacity which is
