The cause of death was cancer of

cure impossible. ...

Of age. He came to this state when
he was 1S years old, first living at VAL

CONTINUED from Preceding Paxa
I believe, now understands that it was
done for the good OF Topeka only,
having voted bonds to the extent OF
$4,000 for impr~ vements on the
grounds.
This fair is a fine proposition from
any standpoint and I feel this year
that Topeka people themselves viii
take great pride in patronizing and
boosting it. Too much cannot be said
tor the business men and officers who
have interested themselves every year
in behalf OF the fair. It has been
uphill wo. k
Enrertainmenf It Fair.
c. S. Elliott: The character of the
men who last summer gave their time
not only to maintain the fair. but the
reputation of the city of Topeka
ought to be sufficient incentive for
the citizens OF Topeka to turn out and
attend the fair In addition the ex-
eellent program and exhibits win en-
terrain them"
Word from Clexgymnn.
DR.. S. s. Estey: Because II il self
evident that q community enterprise
cannot be put through with any great
success without the interest and CO.
operation OF the members Of that
community, I think that it becomes =
plain duty OF citizens to keep in touch
with municipal undertakings and
county projects an to assist all such
as make fer the public good. The
narrow serfshness which keeps a
mans eyes fixed only on his own prf-
vate business Is always financially sui
cidaI in the long run. for private sue
cess is always bound up with public
prosperity. For these reasons I be-
Iieve that the citizens OF Topeka ought
to support the Topeka. fair, not in a
half-hearted and perfunctory way,
but enthusiastically. Good undertak-
ings are as easily killed by the in
difference Of the good people as By
the opposition Of the bad That conn
munity prospers IN which the best
people can be wakened up to their
public duties,

that the school system of the
state is top heavy" /. e., that a
much greater proportion of the
public funds is spent on higher in
situations of learning which the
minority attend, than upon the
grade schools which the vast ma
jority attend, than is jusiifia BILE.
She believes in practical and yoca-
tional education, and prepared a
paper for the State Teachers AS
ISOLATION of 1891 on the subject
of Industrial Education which was
widely copied by eastern journals.
She has been interested in library
work and served as member of

sponsibility of Transforming un-

Mrs. Cryderman has long been
interested in legislative work AS
she realizes ii is to the law-ma king

lief from burdensome laws, espec-
tally our ancient and unequal tax

1t goes without saying that Mrs.

she does say it upon every occasion.
She believes that the prosperity
of any nation depends upon the
prosperity of the farmer and the

AS a Progressive. Mrs cryder-
man believes in the principles out
lined in the national platform OF
the Progressive party. Believing
that the judicial department of our
government is too greatly over
| shadowing the legislative and ex-
| ecutive departments, she is strong
~ in favor of the recall of pjudges
and judicial decisions as whole
some check. She is not strong
partisan. and believes they are
