PROGRESS OF CURRENCY BILL.

The vote of 1853 to 8 in the caucus
whereby the Glass-Owen bill was ap-
proved and stamped as a party meas
ure spells a remarkable victory for
Democratic leaders in the house. The
wild insurgents have been defeated
all along the line. The firmness of
the president and the communications
of Mr.. Bryan designed for the caucus
have kept out of the bill provisions
that would have complicated and
weakened it-prOvisions which, even
If sound, like the proposed system
of rural credit organizations, should
be treated as distinct questions, and
studied with care and elaboration.
One crisis, therefore, has been sue
cessfully passed, or avoided. THE
bill as it emerges from the caucus
is said to be practically certain to
pass the house. No amendments
going to the roots or essential prin-
ciples of the measure are to be pro-
posed by individual Democrats, al
though the banking and currency
committee is expressly and wisely
left free to make further changes.
On the other hand, the Senate and
House committees are disposed to
give patient hearing and proper
attention to the suggestions of the
bankers who recently met in this
city and whose committee is to go
to the capital shortly for the pur-
pose of explaining and urging the
acceptance Of some, If not all, of
those friendly suggestions. No one
can say now what amicable discus
sion and constructive criticism will
accomplish in the way of further i'm
proving the bill. The prospect of
currency legislation is brighter.-Chi.

KANSAS STATE FAIR.

Last winter the Legislature created
a State Fair and located it at Hutch
inson. The contest has been for Just
ten years and finally after long con-
test, the question of the State Fair
was settled once and for all. Hutchin
son offered no inducement that was
not offered by other places, but it be.
ing so nearly in the center of the
state, out in the heart of agricultur-
al Kansas, 1t was deemed by the Leg.
islatura the most feasible location.
The Management was placed in the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
which is now managing and controll-
ing the State Fair.
The State Fair this year promises
to be one Of the great expositions of
the Western States. Other states
have older State Fairs, but this one
Is building ON the old fair that has
been so successful for the past IL
years. is In every way equal in
scope to any other State Fair. 1t
will have the exhibits and will surely
have the people.
The Kansas State Fair is the natur.
al meeting place of the breeder and
the buyer. Kansas is the third cat
tie state Of the Union and stockmen
from all over the state seek the ben-
, efits to be derived from attending. It
will have the greatest exhibition Of
swine and sheep in the state. In poul.
try it has been a leader. In farm i'm
pJements and machinery it is at the
top Of all State Fairs and ExpositiOns
in America. The tractor engine dis
play and demonstration is one of the
great features Of the Fair. All the
departments in which the ladies are
interested will be filled with exhibits.
Agriculture will be displayed to its
best advantage and the horticultural
display will be a dream. of beauty. It's
apiary department excells all other
fairs and must be seen to be appre-
ciated.
The grounds comprise 112 acres up
on which are ample facilities for the
State Fair at present. 1t has the
largest and best grand stand in the
state and its track is practically per-
feet. There viii be six great races
every day, and the very highset class
free attractions ever brought to the
state interspersed. The free attarc-
Itions alone are worth the money-

CROPS AT REFoRMMAToRY FARM

At its meeting which closed Satur.
day the penal board sized up the
crops grown at the reformatory farm
this year. It was learned that 400
bushels of wheat had been harvested,
which will be exchanged for flour,
and which will supply the institu-
tons needs in that direction for Sc
ven months. Over 1900 bushels Of po-
tatoes we're raised, which is more
than enough to supply the needs of
the institution for a year. Onions
yielded 700 bushels, which is double
the amount the inmates will eat. "-
Whenever a surplus is grown on
the reformatory farm it is sold and
the proceeds go into the fund for
maintenance of the institution. But
the lions share Of the stuff grown
goes right on to the inmates table.
The institution is coming nearer cash
year to being self1sustaining.

suReLARs GET MORE THAN $1,000
Two kinsIey Stores Suffer Merehan-
disc Losses the Same Night.

Burglars visited this city Saturday
night and took six revolvers from
the Rummell hardware store and
about 81 900 of silks, faces, suitcases,
ETC., from Ehlers Bros. The manner
of entering both stores was similar.
At Rummells panel was broken out
Of the back door, while at the Bhlers
store the screen was cut on a back
window and hole broken through
the glass and the catch loosened, al
lowing the window to be pulled down
and the rest was easy.
Mark Rummell had occasion to go
into the store about 10 O'Clock in
the evening and discovered the theft.
At the Ehlers store w. H. Ehlers
was working until after II, so the
thieves must have broken in there at
a later hour. Sunday morning, Mr..
Rockenfeller came down early, and as
soon as he entered the store he saw
what had happened, for the covers
that had contained the silk goods
were lying there on the counter while
the contents had been removed. A
pile of lace collars was also missing
and five suitcases, which had evident
lily been taken to carry the goods in
No clew to the thefts has been dis
covered.
The work would rather seem t
have been done by two gangs. The
work at Rummell's looks like tina
of amateurs and the work at Bhlers
is similar to that of the callahan
gang, that used to make headquarters
in Wichita.
