The American Home Graphic, a
wholesome, high class journal, will
make Its first appearance on the 5th of
November. 1t will be issued monthly
and will contain at least 20 pages, be

important accession to the low priced
periodical literature of the day.
The Home Graphic will occupy a
unique position in the fell of journal
ism. AS its name indicates, it will be
primarily adjudication for the home,
while on the other hand it will not be
devoted exclusively to matters in
which the gentler portion of the house
hold alone are interested. In other
words it will be progressive, spirited
journal, dealing with timely matters
that will interest every one in the
home circle. Among the features will
be special articles pertaining to impor-
tant events, places, persons and things,
serials and short stories from enter
tanning writers, a home department
treating of the various topics incident
thereto. and entertainment for boys
and girls.
Excellent terms to agents.

The American Wool, Cotton s. Finan-
cial Reporter with publication offices
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
the most widely-1circulated and most
influential periodical giving special at
tention to investments in the country,
has opened Kansas Office in Abilene.
The Reporter has devoted considerable
attention to Kansas matters in the
past three years and has been eagerly
consulted by eastern investors. 1t will
hereafter give still more space to this
growing wet and will prove a valuable
aid to the upbuilding of Kansas name
in the eastern markets.

Kansas Horses.

|
If anything we're needed to prove the
growing Importance of the business OF
breeding trotting horses in Kansas, the
races at the driving park last week sup
piled it. A glance at the list of entries
for the week would surprise one not
acquainted with the progress made in
horse breeding in this state of late
wears. Two-thirds of the horses en-
tered in the weeks races were Kansas
bred, and they were found in every
class from the $50 to the 2:20 class.
The Wilkeses, Almonts, McGregOrs and
all the best trotting blood in the world
are bred in Kansas with as great sue
cess as in Kentucky. The Bluegrass
state will always possess the distinc-
ton of having brought trOtting TO its
present high place in the catalogue Of
American sports by breeding new
stock OF horses, combining strength
with speed and endurance as the had
rever been combined before. But
Kansas can meet Kentucky today on
her own ground with results that can
not be rivaled. There are farms and
stables in nearly every county III the
state where all the best classes of
thoroughbred trotters and runners as
we'll are produced with entire success.
From nearly every county thorough
bred horses are being shipped west to
the mountain cities, south in cODpeti-
ton with Kentucky and east to I'll the
markets of that section. Dickinson
county has abundantly proved what
can be done in that direction.
HorSemen are beginning to realize
all over the country that Kansas unites
all the conditions desirable for the pIo-
duction of perfect horse. TIE eli
mate, mild in winter, with long sum-
mer season extending substantially
from April to November, and the
fresh, exhilirating air Of the prairies
productive of speed; the moderate al
titude, neither low nor high, conduc-
i've to the cultivation of good ''wind;'
the native and tame grasses, growing
luxurintly, producing strength, and
an abundant supply of good water
combine all the requisites for excelling
Kentucky on her own speciality.
Aside from its success in breeding
for the track, Kansas can produce
draft horses equal to the best breeds of
France or Scotland. Senator Piumb's
recommendation that the horse breed
ers of Kansas make speciality of pro-
ducing cavalry horses for the United
States army is worthy also of consider
alton and will doubtless result in the
development of an important branch of
the industry.
Abilene has done much to increase
the interest in horse producing and the
lesson of the Abilene track will not be
lost on the other sections of the state.

eminent lawyers of the state that the
present prohlbitory law is effective
without re-enactment. If the supreme
court should hold this view, every man

liable to arrest and punishment. The
fact that they pretend to believe thew

population than any other state II the
Union. 1t is asserted that Kansas has more
colleges than ell of the New England states
combined. There were at one time seven IN
the city of Wichita alone. 1t is rather re-
markablc that more If them have MOI gone
TO the wall The fact that SO many OF them
have been sustained shows popular thirst
for knowledge which contrasts creoitaDIy
with the lack of thirst tor intoxicatlnS DeV-
erages.-[K. c. Star.
The trouble is not so much With the
existence of tie schools as the mistaken
nomenclature that is the fashion Id
the SunfloWer state. There may be
more colleges in Kansas than IN
New England but they will not reach
so high an average standard. What
is here called college is in New Eng
land often only seminary or boys
school, What is there an academy IS
in Kansas often a university. Kansas
runs to big names and high sounding
titles. In the old boom times there
were no streets-only avenues and
boulevards. So there are scarcely any
academies or seminaries- only colleges
and universities.
The Kansas thirst for knowledge
has caused a mushroom growth of
these and they have to great extent
tended to increase the educational in
terest of the state but it would be
much better were there fewer ''col-
Ieges'' and have all of higher stan

The Election Result.

Metropolitan party, in waging its
campaign in this county has labored
under a disadvantage of playing the
game with an enemy with loaded dice
The enemy has not come out in the
open field to give US battle, but has
carried on its warfare in ambush. 1t
has been unequal odds, but we went
to work and conducted vigorous and
honorable campaign. The main issues
were intelligent ones, and were by us
discussed clearly. honestly, and fully
presented to the people. Upon our
part it has been campaign of intelli-
gence, candor and honor. We believe
now as ever, that the principles we
have advocated are right, and that the
republican party is the best friend of
the farmer. 1t is the only party that
has ever interested itself ID special leg
iSlatiOn for the farmer and laborer,
and We believe it is the only party
through which the farmers of the west
can hope for legislative relief.
A plurality of the voters of this
county think differently and probably
One-third of the republicans of the
county haye been induced to cast their
votes against the party which has done
so much for the material prosperity of
the country. A full county ticket in
Guiding two representatives to the leg
islature, has been chosen by the ''peo-
ple's'' party. Outside of the
representatives, the county officers
elected are ministerial and the people
will be interested in them only as
they shall perform or neglect their
official duties. The representatives
are the lawmakers and their acts at
Topeka will be watched with much
interest.
We are alike interested in good gov
eminent and every law that is enacted
and the conscientious discharge Of Off
cial duties by those who are elected by
the people will affect us all alike.
The REFLECTOR is not going to sit
down and find fault. We are for the
prosperity of the county and state first,
for the success of the republican party
afterwards. If the gentlemen who
have been elected to the legislature
shall devise or suggest any legislation
which promises to better the condition
of the people of this state, they will
have no more hearty support than will
be given them by the REFLECTOR.
we have only the one desire and that
is to promote and build up the pros
perity ofour city, county, state and
nation and every officer, to whatever
party ne may belong, who tries to do
his duty toward the constituency which
elected him will have the hearty COOP
