A DISTRICT FAIR. A District Pair association is being put on foot. Recognizing the f.tet that the annual stale fairs are being held too lar away from this section of the state cer to admit o,f a general at-, tendance or exhibition fioni the Ar kansas valley, and further lecognizinir that Wichita is looked upon' a the center of a verv largo district of the state,which district comprises thciirh est and nuit wealthy agricultural counties in Kansas, a number of gen tlemen solely interested in agriculture and stock raising have determined up od organising a District Kair . associa tion. To this end a subscription paper ha been drawn up and started aiming the business men of Wichita We do not understand that two fairs are again to be attempted but that a fair, which shall be managed by representative agriculturists of the Arkansas vallej. shall be set going this present season. We cm see no rcvon wiry' soch lanjeulerprise should Ink irolico faiYly set on its feet An annual district fair cOuld be held at Wichita in the iuterests of the eight or ten surrounding counties which would as greatly surpass t lie state fair as a show as these counties surpass the old counties in thevalue and njiilli tudc of their product, t ' K 'f? ANOTHER BLUNDER. It seemed as if the ignoring ol the soldier element was a Democratic blunder. (Jen. Kosccraiis was in Xew York last week, mid is .repdrtet to have said : ! "Tho nominations made by the Dem ocratic partj at Oiicago have chilled two clae of workers. They are the industrial classes and the soldiers. They hae seen the choice made with sorrow and regret. Xcither body has had the slightest attention paid to it in any way, and that they have been ignored will not help tin" party, and you can be sure ot that. The Repub licans put in a man for whom the sol diers will vote." THE DIFFERENCE. Tho Wichita Kaui.k has progressed in its prohibition faith far enough to favor tho putting down of whisky. I'mporin Republican., Too many edi tors In Kim-as already favor "putting down of whisky." Kansas City Times. The trouble -with Kansas City is Miat in the struggle between whisky .uul her editors it is the latter that woes down nn'd the worst of it is they .stay down. r' i A ud now comes the Capital iu it: iruc of Jul23th, the great prohibi tion lijtiit and says, in the second col van ou the third page, 'loc-wtitcr . , I ..v. -..I Mio great American vice, and probably kills more people than rum.' i"Ui niainr. mnlor. how could voti?

WHITE, SHUT UP OR PUT UP." To the Kdxlor of Hit agle: 1 clip the following from last week's IJcacon : The Emporia Republican makes the point that neither of the Democratic candidates were in the army. Well, that's a fact, but what ol it i Logan went into the army after rcciuiiing a company for the southern army -and ending thuni to the south. Ulaine, during the war, was in the peniten tiary, by proxy, and put tonally he wus swindling the "government on Spencer riflo contracts Flaunt the whole shirt, and not the dirtv tail alone.

He pretended to do a io.m biisinc-, hut it was :i fact well known to his acquain tances thai the gi eater part of his time, money and labors were spe-.i in the gambling dciis and gin-mills ol ih it bad city. Nevertheless nnn persons unfamiliar with his habits of lile en trusted him w ith their business, aiu.iiig thi'in S. W .smith, better kuouu a "Windy." William Lnkey and 'loin Rolev.nll of Allen foMiihip. 'I he two latter gentlemen .ire son-in-law ot i lit blatant Mr. .smith. For each of these the tillable Mr Crouch had promicd loan-, they pa ing the Usual interest, commissions and ghing mortgages on their farm-. When foi tunc had smiled upon them with big crops and their an liinu a tious ol w oi Idly wealth enabled iliein to liquidate their indebtedness, they went back to Crouch and on his prom ising to procuie a release of the mort gages on their icspedive farms, paid over to him the several amounts due. Mr. fciiiilli counted into the ample palm of tiie distinguished ciii.i :i ot our neighboring citv. the snug sum of 'J 10, Mr. I.arkey $100 and .Mr. Rolev about ilOO, the grand total which these residents of Kingman entrusted to Crouclrbeing in the neighboihood of s2,000 Forn week or two they wailed pa tiently, watching each mail e.Npcciiug it to bring them the document which rendcied their property unencumber ed. Hut il ciine not. Again they visited Crouch, lie seemed lo b- as much astonished as they (hit the pi pers had not betn returned, and v. ithal was so allablu and had so many icady excuse that he quieted their fears as to any posibilitv of the money being lost in transmission, and they retui ned home satisfied lo wait for another sea son for their rcleae. Neither of them suspected at this time tint Crunch not only had tailed to transmit t lie wealth, "but had even taken the liberty of appropriating it to his own u-e. Tom Roley was the fust to tumble to the true situation. He is not a pious man but he though! the whole matter over piayer fulh. A vision of light dawned upon him, and thoroughly arming himself he called upon Crouch when he was alone. Taking the precaution to clo-o tin; door so as to be free troin intrusion he interviewed him with the muzzle of a loaded revolver and w hen the conference had ended Roley had his money. Coming back, he commu nicated to the breezy Smith and the Docile Lirkcy what had traiispiied and tlioy, after wailing a little longer, also went o er into Sedgwick. They had tarried too long. Procrastina tion, the thief Of time, proved in their cae also to tie dishonest enough to take money. Cionch had lied and left no cluo as to his whereabouts. That their visit was barren of any good renlts to them is amply attested by the follow ing from one of the Wichita paper of Tuesda : "Two men from Kingman wereinthecin vestcrdav inquiring for the Mate' 1, V. "Crouch." One of them ilosiwd to see him $4G0 worth and the other wanted a "5980 sight of him." There is a moral in the above, wrv valuable.

OFF FOR KANSAS. I From tin-New toll (Illinois) Prs J From Independence we pursue our journey westward till we reach Wel lington, the county seal of Sumner county.

It i an increase iu the last year of 5,000 and is still rapidlv improving. The people look for a city of 25,000 within the ncxt tin ce years, and from the way emigration is" pouring in from all paitsof the country their hopes will be realized in even less time than that. Wealthy capitalists reprc-enting hun dreds of thousands of dollars are coming in and making large mvest inciils,'atid it will be but a short time till Wichit 1 will have her wholesale es tablishments ju full blast, which will make her the Kansas City of the west. The city is well supplied with churches and sclieol buildings and a. number of good weekly and daily papers, nmi business of all kinds is booming. AVichita is the county seat of Sedgwick county, one of the best in the state and is etir rounded bv a rich and f.rtile country, and to say that the crops arc line would give out a lecoic mea 01 the immense crops of 1881.

He is now engaged in rc-bmld-ing the church that was recently burned bv incendiaries, and is succeeding grandly. He is very popu lar with the people, who recognize in him all that is needed in a faithful and successful pastor. To him wc owe much of our information in regard to the citv- and surrounding country. Goddard is our next station and is situated fourteen miles from Wichita, in Sedgwick county, on the new rail road, the Wichita ic Western. The town is about 100 davs old and al rcadv has a population of from 300 to 100 and is rapidly improving. The country around is rich and beautiful, tiie tanners are in goou circumstances and the crops arc splcnuiu. Here we spend the Sabbath and meet a nmiibui' of old friends and parishioners and had the pleasure of preaching for them 011 the balmatli 111 the neat and beau tiful M.
