Bigger and Better Than Ever, :"
Say Officers.
SOME NEW FEATURES
Premiums for Sheep, Driving
and Walking Horses.
Want Semi-CentenniaI Parade
to Cross River.

The fifth annual fair of the Indian
Creek grange will be held October 3, 4
and at the Indian Creek grange hall,
four miles north of Topeka on the Cen
traI avenue road. New features will be
premiums offered for the best walking
farm team, premiums for the best
single driving horses and premiums for
sheep. This is according to O. F. Whit
ney, assistant superintendent OF the
fair. F. P. Rude, the superintendent
has been called to Baltimore by the i'll
ness of a relative, but expects to return
in time to be in charge
A meeting of the officers and those
interested in the fair has been called
for September 5, when the arrange
ments for the exhibits will be COM
pleted.
The impression went out that on ac-
count of the dry weather this summer
no fair would be held. However, Mr..
Whitney and others interested, in the
language of the circus poster, says that
it will be bigger and better than
ever
"People are more interested than
ever in the fair and are making more
preparations, asking for more space
than ever, said Mr. Whitney TINS
afternoon 1.-THE Offering of premiums
for the best sheep, walking farm teams,
and double and single driving horses
Will be among the new I6dLOA CS VI tAAC
fair. We have come to believe that
sheep are among the best farm pro-
ducts and the raising of them Shoulu
be encouraged. OF course there VIII be
the usual exhibits of other farm pro
ducts and more of them Will be SHOWN
than ever before. 1t is a mistake, the
report that the grange fair had been
called off,
An effort is being made to induce
ioI o1ofV
to come across the river as far as Far
child street. At a meeting Of the Clvic
club last night a committee was dp
nointed to ask the Centennial people to
continue the parade to that street me
idea is to have the parade to go as
far north as Fairchild street, the street
a block north of Gordon street. anc
west on Fairchild to Central avenue
and south on Central avenue TO Ran
SaS avenue and from Thence - A01etAAi
to the South side.
The club will likely be backed up in |
sentiment by the A. O. u W., the l. y. |
n F. and the Red Men from the North |
side. as some of these lodges have in |
vested in the building of floats for the |
pageant

A little, slender ten-year-old old girl
carving a bunch of flowers, all un- |
attracted much attention
and gave much pleasure in a crowded |
street car returning from the North /
side about 1880 o'clock this morning
She entered the car at Gordon street. |
She had in her hands, oh, just SO, a |
bunch of pink and white flowers the |
child was a dainty little thing, with a |
nrettv white dress, and as she walked |
I'D the aisle even the conductor and a |
cynical man looked at her. But she |
was totally unaware of the stir she |
caused or the pleasure the sight of her |
gave. Her great concern was to hold |
the bouquet just as mamma had told |
her to. And all the way to Seventh |
street, where she got off. her innocent |
grav eyes were fixed on the flowers, |
without a vain thought perhaps in her |
small head of the pretty pink ribbon |
in her golden hair. just matching the |
little vanity bag she carried from her |
tiny wrist When the little miss left |
the car all eyes turned to her and /
smiles were on the faces of all the |
passengers. For such children are the /
natural poems of life.
