The sixty complete stories in the first volume of Komance have all of them been interesting, some of them intensely exciting, and none of them in any way offensive even by suggestion. The New York Story Club, to which credit, is due for these excellent selections, has done its work with a pain-taking thoroughness; and it has shown, too, a correct taste, and a keen appreciation of the need-! of the story-reading world. The first number of the second volume of Komance that for May is fully up to t'ne high mark which this magazine has set for itself.

Colonel Wm. A. Philips, ex-Congressman from tho Sixth district, stopped in Topeka on his way home from he East. He has been in New York and Washington for several months. In talking with a Journal reporter he said: "Politics i quiet in Washington.

Of course there is some talk about the President's trip, and what little stir there is, is laid to his stirring out among tho people. The general opinion in New and Washington is tnat Harrison tias made a clean, safe administration, but it is a little too early yet for much to be said about the next election. Since Congress adjourned, the talk i.bout the Kansas people has quieted down. Jerry Simpson was the rage for awhile, in fact he was more talked about than Peffer. But a political party can't be made in a day, and I am yet con fideut that the Republican party can and will give the people all the reforms need ed." Topeka Journal.

E. Gear, County Clerk, Clay Cmter, Kan: Dkab Sie: As you will no doubt remember, the World's Fair convention which convened in this city on the day of April to devise plans which would enable Kansas to make an exhibit of her products and resources at tha Columbian Exposition, to be held at Chicago in 1893. directed that the delegates in said convention together with county officers and resident members of the Legislature, should constitute committees for their respective counties to secure local organizations and otherwise co-operate with this Bureau for the accomplishment of the purpose for which the movement was inaugurated. And finding it difficult to communicate directly with the several officers named, and believing such course, if practical, to be unnecessary, as to your county, we very respectfully request that you at once confer with the authorities named, together with such other of your citizens as can be conveniently reached, and proceed with the work of organization, on the plan suggested in the address iierewith enclosed, or by such other means as to you may stem best calculated to secure favor and attain success in the direction suggested, and report the result of your action to this office at your earliest convenience. The importance to the people of Kansas of the exhibit proposed is apparent to all who are familiar with the history of our progress and who entertain a proper appreciation of the amount contributed thereto by former exhibits of like character.

Onr sister States, without an exception in the West, will enter the arena and compete for honors at Chicago in and Kansas cannot afford to be conspicuous by her absence. Our presence is demanded alike by patriotism and State pride as well as by the material advantages to bo derived from the opportunity offered to exhibit to the people of all nations the resources and possibilities of our young but promising State. We therefore appeal to you, and through you, to the people of your county, for that hearty co-operation which never fails of success in any laudable enterprise undertaken by our people. We trust therefore that you will act promptly, and collect, or cause to be secured to your local committe the amount which under the apportionment directed by the convention of April 2, has been allotted to your county, to wit, the sum of And as the work of collecting sara- pies for the exhibit must of necessity begin at an early day, you will confer a favor upon this office, and at the same time materially facilitate the work undertaken, by causing to be forwarded to the treasurer of this Bureau, Samuel T. Howe, Topeka.

at least ten per cent, of the amount asked, at your earliest convenience. Time being important, prompt action is earnestly requested, to the end that every section of the State may be properly represented at the meeting to be held at Topeka. June as directed by the con vention of 23d, to elect a permanent board of managers for the proposed exhibit, to consist of nine members, one from each Congressional district, and two at large. At the lncctinir to be held June 1(1. each county and railroad company will be en titled to one vote for each ix, subscribed or guaranteed.

While the Legislature made no provision for the work suggested, and now undertaken by private enterprise, it is well known that a large majority of both Houses heartily concurred with tho Governor of the State on the general proposition that Kansas should be represented at Chicago; and while the measure deemed necessary to place the State in position to make the exhibit, proposed failed at the late session to become a law, it is confidently expected that at the next meeting of that body, provision will be made for reimbursing those who aid in the direction suggest d. Enclosed please find copies of address of committee, suggested form for comity organization, subscription, etc. Trusting that you will call upon this office for any additional blanks, suggestions or recommendations desired, and keep us advised as to the progress of your work, I am yours very respectfully, Wm. Sims, Secretary. Following the suggestion of Secretary Sims, and in order to bring this matter promptly and in an effective manner before the people of Clay County, there will be a meeting of all the county officers and the representatives at niy office Monday, May 18, at 2 p.

to discuss the question and make whatever arrangements may seem proper. Chas. E. Gear. County Clerk.
