1t ia q mistaken idea, sir, that Nevada
has ever been an incumbrance or a burden
to the Federal Government. Notwith-
standing we are a small community, we
have always been able to discharge every
obligation upon us as one OF the sovereign
States. We have never cost you one dol
lar; we are ahead of you IN general ac-
hand, but I have made some pretty close
and safe estimates. I figure that since a

DEATH OF MRS. COOK.
A Good and Pure and Beautiful
woman Gone.

Yesterday the sad but not wholly I'M
expected death of Mrs. Constance Ter.
rell Cook, wife of Alb. II. Cook, Jr., and
eldest daughter of Hon. A. w. Terrell,
was given to this community. Her i'll
ness was brief and painful, ending yes
terday mOroing at o'clock, when in the
presence of loving aud devoted father,
husband, children, brother and sister
and friends, she passed peacefully away.
Last Monday she was so much better that
her physicians thought that her father
might safely go to Galveston, but a
change for the worse necessitated his re-
call by telegram on Wednesday.
For her perfect and amiahle manners
and kind disposition her friends devoted.
ly loved and admired her, while her rare
and beautiful accomplishments com.
manded universal respect from all who
knew her. No lady in the community
had more friends, and the circle in which
she moved possessed no brighter orna-
ment. She was devoted member of the
Baptist church and died in the triumphs
of a Christian faith. To some kind
friend who will write her obituary is left
the tender task of giving fuller details of
her life and death. Mrs. Cook leaves
five children, and to them and other be-
reaved relatives the STATESMAN extends
the heartfelt sympa'h by and coincidence of
the community.
The funeral Grafton was delivered at
the Baptist church. and the interment
took place at the Bouldin cemetery, in
South Austin, the cortege being the larg-
est seen in Austin for years.

Care of Horses.

Never allow any one to tease or
tickle your horse in the stable. The
animal only feels the torment and
does not understand the joke. Vici-
Gus habits are thus easily brought
| out.
Never beat the horse when in the
stable, as nothing so soon makes him
permanently vicious.
Let the horses litter be dry and
clean underneath as well as on top.
Standing i'll hot, fermenting manure
makes the hOofs soft and brings on
lameness.
Change the litter partially in some
parts and entirely in others every
morning, and brush out and clean
the stall thoroughly.
To procure good coat on your
horse naturally use plenty of scrub
bling and brushing. Plenty of "elbow
grease" opens the pores, softens the
skin and promotes the animals gen.
eral health.
Use the curry-comb lightly. When
used roughly it is source of great
pain.
Let the heels be well brushed out
every night. Dirt, if allowed to
cake in, causes grease and sore
heels.
Whenever horse Is washed never
leave him until he is rubbed quite
dry. He will probably get chill if
neglected.
When horse comes in off a jour-
ney the first thing is to walk him
about until he is cool, if he is brought
in hot. This prevents his taking
cold.
The next thing is to groom him
quite dry; first with a whisp of
straw, and then with a brush. This
removes dust, dirt and sweat, and
allows time to recover itself, and the
appetite to return.
Also let his legs be well rubbed by
the hand. Nothing SO soon removes
strain. 1t also prevents thorns or
splinters, soothes the animal, and en-
ables him to feed comfortably.
Let the horse have some exercise
every day. Otherwise lie will be
liable to fever or bad feet.
Let your horse stand loose, if pos
sible, without being tied up to the
manager. Pain and WEAKNESS from a
confined position induce bad habits,
and cause swollen feet and other dis
orders.
Do not urge the animal to drink
water which he refuses. 1t is prob
ably hard and unwholesome.
Every night look and see If there
is stone between the hoof and shoe.
Standing on it all night, the horse
will be lame the next morning.
Look often at the animals feet and
legs. Disease or wounds in those
parts, if neglected, soon become dam
gerous.
Never allow drugs to be admins
tered to your horses without your
knowledge. They are not needed
to keep the animal in good health,
and may do the greatest and most
sudden mischief.

of Rnblic sentiment In favor of law and
order along the western frontier, and the
increasing inclination of the people there
to adopt those peaceful practices and
methods which are lawful and common
in other sections of the state, have placed
many of those extreme western counties

Imports of wool at New York for
the first half of this year were 81, 4S8
bales, against 24,947 during the cor
responding time last year. This
large increase, right in the face OF a
dull market for wool, offers conclu-
sive evidence that American wool
growers must not only make a con-
siderable increase in volume and
Improvement in the quality of their
production, but must be prepared to
take lower prices than they can now
afford to accept in order to keep out
foreign competition and supply the
home demand with home product.
The way to do this is to improve
the breed of sheep. A man with a
large flock of mean sheep cannot af-
ford to take as small a price as one
who has a small lot of-well-bred
wool-bearers. The expense of poor
sheep is in every way equal to that
of good stock, the difference being
IN the income.

family were persuaded to try DR.. VIM

the astonishment of all, by the time she
had used six bottles she was able to do

HOW THEY HOLD INQUESTS IN SAN
ANTONIO.
The suicide of Haden calls atten-
ton to the awfulfy loose way in
which inquests are conducted in
this county. When Haden's body
was found the only witnesses called
was the boy who discovered the
body and newspaper man who was
accidentally present and recognized
the man as one William Haden, tor
whom inquiries had been made that
afternoon at the newspaper office.
No evidence was called to show
whether the deceased was murdered,
or was accidentally drowned or had
committed suicide, and the only
evidence beforethe coroner to show
that he was William Haden, was the
name in his hat. The way inquests
are conducted here offers premium
to murder, and the only object seems
to be to get through the business
with the least possible trouble. be-
cause the county allowance is reck-
oned too small to pay the ex-
penses of a proper investigation.
This is one of the county reforms
that is much needed, not only for the
administration of justice but for the
protection of the public. Another
phase of the inquest system is before
the public now. A man named Frank
is accused of an attempt to poison his
wife and the cup of coffee in which
the poison is alleged to have been adj
minlstered is now in possession ofDr.
kalteyer for analysis, but the corO-
ner refuses to authorize DR.. Kalteyer
to do it because claims for such SER
vices have been disallowed by the
county and DIR. Kalteyer refuses to
analyze the poisoned cup unless he
has order 10 do it that secures the
payment of his charges. Thus a
man remains under the stigma of a
crime of which he may be innocent |
or justice is retarded on account of |
the undue parsimoniousness of the
county officials. Justice SO admin
istered is contemplate to all con-
cerned. III. RI.
