Beware tho Faker.

At the present time the state is full
Of vendors Of all sorts Of articles whit
are travelling throughout the farming
districts and making heavy gain
through sales to the farmers. Doubt
less some Of them are honest Ant
the goods they offer are genuine, but
there are among them many accom-
pliShsd rogues who are practioing
easy swindles for the great profit In
the business. They are selling goods
which are dishonest or are charging
exorbitant prices or taking orders
which will produce goods far below
the sample.
The REFLECTOR believes that the
farmers should sorutinize very care
fully the wares offered. Of course
every citizen has 9 perfect right to
spend his money as 10 chooses. He
has perfect right to buy from out
side houses and from peddlers IL he
so elects. He Is the master. But it
will not DO amiss to warn him that he
runs desperate chances when he does
so. The men from whom be buys
will shortly be far away. II he finds
that he 10 swindled he has no recourse.
He cannot return the goods and get
back bis money. He cannot prose.

He will merely pocket his loss ss
thousands upon thousands Of Kansans
have done before.
But 10 1t not wiser to confine your
trade to the merchants whom you
knowP IL 1t not wiser to patronize

who have an established business,

Every year at this time the REFLEo.

TOUGH JUMBO ALLEY
It Is the Worst District in the City
Full of Notorious
Resorts.
An Effort Is to Be Made Looking
to Changing It's
Character.

Jumbo alley still continues to be the
toughest section of the city. In fact it has
become SO bad that Robb & Jefferson, propri-
etors of a colored saloon on Second street
S, have found 1t necessary To shut off their
place from the alley by high board fence
and to compel all visitors to enter the place
by the front door.
Jumbo alley lies between Washington av-
enue and Second street S. and extends from
Second to Third avenues. For many years
it has been notorious for its tough. joints and
has ben the source of constant trouble to the
police. Robberies have been numerous in
some of the resorts on the alley and hold
ups almost nightly occurrences.
A few weeks ago Gladys Wilson, who kept
a resort In the alley was given a workhouse
sentence by Judge Holt. Before she com
pleted the sentence her place was sold to
another colored woman who came from tie
west. The police say that things are Just
as bad as ever.
There are also several dives and rear en-
frances to- Washington avenue saloons that
add to the bad character of the alley Among
Washington avenue places that have rear
entrances from the alley is the Columbia
theater, the bar of which opens directly upon
the alley. Men who are too drunk or disor-
derby to be tolerated in the theater, are put
out into the alley. rt,
An effort will be made to induce Chief Con
roy to close the worst places and try to make
the alley as respectable as the once notori-
GUS Fish alley has become. p

With only 80 per cent more population
than Germany, the United States kills
three times as many cattle, nearly five
times as many pigs, and seven times as
many sheep annually. Deducting the
amount exported, and there is left three
times much meat for everyhead Of the

Hogs-There were about 4,785 hogs re-

would sell to-day as high as $780, and a fail
