NO COUNTY FAIR.

A meeting Of the business men,
very lightly attended, was held at
the Commercial Club rooms Tuesday
evening, to go over the question of
whether or not to hold county fair
this year. After looking at the situ-
alton from all its angles, it was de-
cided not to hold one. Although
enough money was raised to pay off
the indebtedness of the association,
the amount which the association ask
ed the business men to raise, $4,000,
fell short some $500. This left the
association out of debt, but the grond
grounds and buildings in bad shape,
association out of debt, but the
and no money to put them in condi-
ton for a fall meeting. Then again,
six weeks was considered too short
a time in which to do anything, and
so far practically nothing has been
done towards getting up the fair,
hence there will be no fair. We un-
derstand that If the other $500 will
be forthcoming in the next few
months, as per the original PROPOSE
tion, that the directors will proceed
early next season to get ready for
the fair.
We regret that the fair Is not to
be held, or that 1t ever was discontin-
ued. There is no blame to be at
tached to any particular one over the
matter, however. although, had the
farmers and live stock men shown
the proper interest In the matter all
along, the association would be In bet
ter shape today, and would have lean
ed In their direction more than in
the other, but that interest was lack
OF Great Bend, some Of them at least
ing. Another thing, the business men
have at times in the past been very
luke warm on the question We do
hope that matters will right them
selves so fair will again be held
every year. It Is one Of the best
things a community can spend a lit
tie money for.

question Of making their constitution
more easily amendable, but even this
treatment of the recall section was
Objectionable to the president.
The one remaining important meas
ure passed at the session, which was
fortunate enough to receive the Pres.
ident's approval, was the bill provid-
in for Congressional reapportiOnment.
This measure increases the number
of members in the house of represen-
tatives from S91 at present to 49S,
exclusive of Arizona and New Mexico.
Under its provision no state loses in
representation, although several make
gains, ranging from one to six. New
York will make gain Of six members
in the house and Pennsylvania will
gain four, the next largest number.
The apportionment provided in the
bill will remain in effect until after
the next decennial census is taken.
The democrats Of the house pledged
themselves as a party to the enact
ment Of the "Dollara-day' Pension
bill for Union veterans Of the Civil
war, a measure which has been much
advocated In the interest Of the old
soldiers. In as much, however, as 1t
could not become operative until af-
ter the next fiscal year, on July /,
1912, no attempt was made to pass
this bill In the extraordinary session.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the ap-
propriations committee reported that
the extra session had cost s301.052,
Of which $4,000 was to meet con-
ractual obligations lodged by the re-
publican at their session a year ago.
The democratic house abolished 65
sinicure political salaried jobs and cut
off the extra month gratuity 30 house
employees, thereby saving annually
$22S,OOO. Appropriations aggregatting
$S65,OO0 made BY republican con-
greGs, were repealed without In
tunously affecting governmental ser
vice.

SIMON UNRUH STILL LIVES.

Word was received here over the
phone Monday morning that Simon
Unruh had bene killed that morning
by an automobile turning over on
him near Greensburg. His fatherin-
law, Mr.. Johnson, and son, started for
Greensburg, and when they got as far
as Hutchinson, where they had to
change cars, they met Simon, to
their surprise, on his way TO his
home at Greensburg from Wichita,
where he had been taking treatment
for bis eyes. He recently had his
eyes injured. He informed Mr.. John
son that he hadn't even been in an
automobile accident, let alone being
killed in one. His many friends here
were glad to hear that there was no
truth in the report.-Pawnee Rock
