There is, every year, more or less discus
sion as to who are qualified to vote, how
a chillengeis determined. etc. Below we
publish the general provisions of the con-
stitntiOn and law on the subject.
Every white male person, twenty-one
years old and upwards who shall have re-
sided in Kansas six months preceding any
election, and in the township or ward i'm
which he offers to vo.e, at least thirty days
preceding such election, persons of foreign
birth who shall have declared their inten.
ton to become citizens, conformably to the
laws of the United States, are qualified
electors PROVIDED, they are not under guar
dianship, non compos mentis, or insane !:
convicted of felony, unless restored to civ.

any of the states thereof; guilty of receiv-
ing bribe or offering to receive bribe !:
who has borne arms against the U. S. gov
ernment and whose disability has not been
removed by legislative enactment.
The judges of election, in determining
the residence of person offering to vote,
Shall be governed by the following rules {.

would not suffer piece of Texas beef TO
come on my boat. was forced to buy II
LOT awhile and found 1t superior to, sweeter

Texans have rated higher In our beef mar.
kets than high grade cattle from other states
ana are worth more. according to weight,
IN st. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City than
amy other cattle from the Northwest
Ihis simply means that sensible people
nave found that the small-boned, medium
sized, Texas steers furnishes better, mora
delicate article of beef than any of the
large, coarse breeds, that meat produced by
grass feeding, where the accumulation Of
meat and fat is very rapid. Is more Juicy
than the long fed, slow fattened beef OF the
Northwest. Another great reason for the
improvement in the quality of our beef is
that our grasses have improved not only in
quantity, but i'm qnality; that new grasses
have sprung mp all over our western prai-
ries and some of them equal to the celebra.
ted blue grass Of Kentucky, furnishes onr
cattle with great variety of food. We feel
Siusned from facts brought out by this
years beef market, that i'm the future Tex.
as cattle will rate higher that the same
grade of cattle from any ofthe colder grass
states; that the fact is largely owing to
matter OF educating tastes of the millions
who eat, and like all necessaries of life:
the sclrcer it becomes the more it will be
soughtfor There is no questioning the
fact, that an animal which takes on flesh
very rapidly is better than one fattened
slowly, and if the rapid fattener gets more
j1icy, nutricioUs grass to eat than the one
fed slowly, it will be betteran juicier meat.

$4,000. Mr.. Payne was born and raised
IN this co"nty, and his many friends will
be glad to learn Of this evidence of the con.
hdence reposed in him by the citizens of
that community. Few men have made
more rapid progress than him in all his un-
dertakings. Beginning life's battle at the
early age of IL years, with small inheri
tance, he has by close application to bi.si-
ness, and untiring energy scared not only
fair share of the worlds goods. bat has
won for himself a merited position as a

he was elected to represent this county IN
the state legislature, which position he filed
accrptably to his constituents. In 1877 he

gagged in stock raising, AMI in this as every
other business he has engaged in he has

Sticking to II.

A good story is told of young man
who consulted an old gentleman who had
been successful in business, as to the best
oAslness in which to engage. In answer to
the question, "What had l best dor, the
OLD man replied "Stick." The young fell
low explained that he wished to know
what he had best do to make money.
Again he was told ''stick.'' .Stick to
what 7" was asked. "Oh, that is matter
OF little consequence. Take any line of
business yoa like, and stick to it."
We were reminded of this to-day when
an accq saintince said; "You remember
Mr.. Blank. He is to have a sale in few
weeks he is going to sell all his herd of
cattle-has twenty-five or thirty good ones
and is going into Sheep" We do not
know all the circumstances, but we suspect
the advice to "stick" could be profitablv
needed by Mr.. Blank. Certainly the dis
position to change from one kind or one
breed OF stock to another is quite too com.
mon. We know men who have made hob
bies out OF a half dozen breeds keeping nd
one long enough to make either reputation
or money by breeding it, rather losing
money by disposing Of the animals at a
disadvantage. On the other hand.we all
know m who have made both money and
reputation by persistence with some
one breed or class Of animals. even
when their choice did not seem wisest ri
us.
We are not advocating a foolish stub.
bornness which refuses to recognize and
corr ct mistakes. There are many cases in
which the best thing for breeder to do is
toFapidly change his plans, take a new
start. But these cases are exceptions, not
rule. If farmer has good lot of Po-
land-China hogs, has made money by breed
ing them, has fair trade in selling them as
breeders, we dOhbt if he will gain bv
changing to the Jersy Reds. even if friend
is making more money in breeding the
latter. If one has become well established
as breeder of heavy horses, we will not
urge him to change his stock and COM
1 UOTScS, dIJnOuQn
we believe there is good field in this drec-
ton.
To let temporary discouraging circum-
stances induce one to abandon a course de-
licbrately chosen is almost unwise. There
are fluctuations i'm prices, there may be
''bad years" In stock breeding as well as
grain growing, but, generally, the wisest
course will be to "stick." To give ND In
disgust is, nsually,to lose much of what has
been invested, and to lose much I'm time
before good start can be secured In the
new line.
Each year Of work in breeding ought to
add elements Of success. The old breeders
know more, should have better reputation
wider circle of acq,laintances and proba-
bly, purchasers, and be able to rear his an:
imals more cheaply, and to sell at a better
advantage than man who has only been
short time engaged in the business.

Eating Beef a Matter of Education.

The consumption of beef is largely mat
ter OF ed cation. The amount ,sed in the
United States per capita has increased
more than ten per cent I'M the last five years,
and Is still increasing in amount consumed,
as rapidly as in cost. Even in its use edr;-
cation has changed the palates of Europeans
to veiy marked degree. People who, a
year ago, would not allow grass beef to
come On their tables, now aver that they
