TURF TOPICS.

Senator Stanford says Sunol can trot a
quarter in 80 seconds-a 1:56 gait.
Jack the Ripper is the name of mule
owned in Chicago, and said to have trotted
mile in $40.
Snapper Garrison has three times ridden
second in the Brooklyn handicap, once
with Blue Wing and twice with Prince
Royal.
Belle Hamlin is to go against her own
single record this year. She is said to be
gaining speed this year and is finishing her
mile finely.
One of the most noted brood mares in the
book is Sue, daughter of Thorndale. She
has four representatives in the 2:30 list, and
will be bred this season to Ell Mahdi, a son
of Onward.
Chris Smith, the Philadelphia who
bought Hypatica, offered the Messrs. Nor
ris 900 for the running qualities of LIN
triguante. The offer was declined. Smith
is a lucky plunger. He ran up ten dollar
note to the amount he now has.
At a recent meeting of the Minnesota AS
ISOLATION of Trotting and Pacing Horse
Breeders the constitution was changed so
as to admit for entry all horses owned by
members, or the get of horse or the prod
uce of mare owned by member.
1t is held that "the sire controls the
habits and disposition more than the dam,
she the endurance and constitution more
than he. Hence, select level headed horse
with good feet and legs, strong loins, and
deep, heavy quarters. Do not risk a horse
that has produced speed from one mare
only"
The earliest records known of the pacing
horse are in sculpture, dating back some
400 years before the Christian era. On the
frieze of the Parthenon at Athens were
represented many horses in action, and
quite a number Of them clearly and I'M
mistakably show the lateral or pacing
habit of action.
Fashion," says a turf expert, "has got
a strong grip on the breeders. The dam of
Axtell was sold for a song, and if a mare
of such lines of blood were set for sale any
where in the United States she would sell
for song today. Then why do the pick
of the land go to Axtell? 1t has not been
proved that he will breed on, and if he
will, why will not another like his damn"

GOOD TIMES AT HAND.

Notwithstanding the sag in CONNER
cial and industrial affairs that has pre-
vailed throughout the country for some
time and still continues in some meas
'ure, Kansas never was in better condI-
ton, present and prospective. Although
the farming community has suffered
severely under combination of adverse
circumstances low prices and
then short crop-it has pulled through
marvelousIy well thus far. More old
debts have been paid than new ones con-
tracted; more farmers have increased
their landed holdings than have lost
their farms and homes; more tillerS of
the ground have cash on hand and fewer
are borrowers now than at any period IN
the history Of the state. What
the effect of these improved con-
ditions upon the future of the
state in its material progress and general
betterment of the condition of the people
is too apparent to admit OF conjecture.
That we are to have better times than
ever before is too evident to be doubted.
The prospects for all crops-never more
promising and even now virtually as
sured-not only means good times for
the farmers, but the entire community
will share the benefits, for as general
stagnation comes when the farmer is OPP
pressed and depressed, from whatever
cause, so when the farmer is prosperous
we have good times and everybody is
buoyant in spirit and thrifty in business
pursuits.
Verify we are on the threshold of the
promised "good time coming"

was absolutely unknown. But century
ago a greater proportion of English peo-
pie was given to alcoholic and
vinous intoxication than is now
so addicted, and morphine has
merely in certain districts sup
planted and replaced whisky and port
wine. Tens of thousands of people in
several northern counties of Ireland may
recently fallen into the excessive use of
ether as a stimulant but ''potheen" was
dominant in these same counties only a
decade ago and all that has taken place
there is simply change to ether from
potheen, for the amount of the latter
now consumed has largely decreased.
In Philadelphia itself, as we see from
Dr. McConnells account, it is largely
''the women who, until a few years
past, were accustomed to sending to the
neighboring saloon for beer or whisky
whenever they wanted it," that have
now taken to the regular inhibition OF
"ginger," because the call at the drug
store for the latter is more convenient
and "more respectable" than the visit or
the message to the saloon for the former.
There is substance in all this that COM
mends it to the very thoughtful consid-
Grafton of social and political econ
omists, and especially to the adj
vocates of prohibition as the one great
cure for habit of intemperance, for, as
little as it is known to the public, other
intoxicants than the liquors that are used
as beverages are even now consumed by
our own people, the use of which is more
pernicious in their effects upon the indi-
vidual user and insidious in encroach-
ment upon society than all the liquors
and wines and beer that are sold, publicly
and under the ban of law. The writer
knows personally of distressing case of
delirium tremens that occurred recently
and not thousand miles from this city
produced, not by liquor but by narcotics
such as are prescribed by physicians in
their daily practice,

The conviction of Col. Clay King at
Memphis Friday for the murder OF Law
yer Poston in that city several weeks
ago appeared to be foregone conclusion
from the day of the murder The
strongest circumstance against King
that gave little hope Of exricating HIM
self from the difficulty, and that was
the social standing and prominence in
the community of Col. Poston, the man
slain. Had he been some common fell
low the chances are that Kings con-
viction would not have taken place. 1t
is by no means certain, even with the
conviction, that King will suffer the
penalty OF murder in the first degree.
Some loop in the law will be found to
save his neck.

two other Indians, who are now scour-
