burning briskly before it was discov-

Wishes to Mako the Facts Known.

EDITOR DICKINSON PRESS:
The Gladstone Express of Decem.
Der 25, has published an article in
which it stated that I had put on a
spotted coat and withdrawn my mea-
ger support from the Express. l
wish to make the facts known to the
public; not that I feel the least in.
jured by the slur that the Express
has endeavored to cast on me, but
simply to warn the community
against trusting professional dead
beat, who came here from Sykeston
to publish what is now called the
Gladstone Express. At his request
l circulated subscription list for a
bonus to be given to the paper. The
said list was signed on condition that
the first issue of the paper would be
out on the lst day of December, 1884.
After Mr.. Sheppard arrived here with
his family, instead of being, as was
expected by the citizens, q benefit to
the town, he became public nui-
sance, asking more than our liberal
citizens could grant. He run bill at
my store. ! sent my bill to him and
requested that he should come and
settle. He paid no attention to it
whatever, but, for meaness, published
an ort;c clo in h;o pavt ioouo v,ornin0
all parties who had subscribed on the
bonus list not to pay the money to
me. have the list in my possession
and have been also notified by the
parties who had subscribed the larg.
est amounts to hold it until it was
known that the paper was perma-

draft horses l handle, the greater
proportion-nearly all-are Norman
Percherons. These horses are docile,
intelligent, easily broken, steady in
harness, powerful and compactly
built. They are short in the back,
deep in the body and broad in the
chest. They have the best feet of
any horses in America. l do not
want it understood that ALL Norman
horses have these good qualities. I
have seen some imported that were
as badly shaped horses IS could be
found. Long in the back, narrow
WASTED and not worth their freight
from France here. That class of
horses is only imported by people
who buy them to sell and not to
breed" In regard to the Clydesdale
horses Mr.. Dahlman said: 81 will
give you no criticism. l buy very
few of them. l prefer to pass their
stable and say nothing about them.
From what l have said tho Tribune
readers, / think, will understand
what breed of horses l would recon.
mend them to raise.''
c. L H. Hayman, East oath street,
New York city, said: 1--WE handle
about 1000 horses a year, principally
draft horses of all kinds-French,
Clydesdale, English and Belgian.
We handle more of the French than
Of any of the others because the peo.
pie like them better and will give
higher prices for them than for any
other breed. They have moro endur.
ance and are the best dlspositionetl
horses we have. They mature sooner
and are ready for the market younger
than the other breeds. The Clydes.
dales are not so we'll shaped nor are
their feet so good. We advise the
farmers of the west to breed to the
finest and best bred Percherons to be
found"
The above opinions we're the ex.
pressions of all the other dealers in.
terviewed, with one or two excep.
tions. The object of all farmers who
breed horses for use or for market, is
to obtain animals that will mature
the earliest and bring the most
money. In order to accomplish this
purpose with the greatest degree of
certainty the use of the finest and
best bred Percheron Stations is
recommended and advised by nearly
all the dealers. The finest specimens
are recorded with their pedigrees in
full in tho Percheron Stud Book of
France.

Draft Horses.

The following is a synopsis of a
