Mamma-Clara, you have not beer
a good girl to-day. Now, instead Of
helping 10 throw stones at that poor

You should try and do somebody a

Hints Ah0ut Horses.

Bad driving will often fatally iniure
a horse in a few miles, while skillful
driving would make the journey in
less time and leave the horse as fresh
as when he started. Drive slow when
the animal is full of food and water,
but after the muscles are limbered and
the system emptied, increase the speed.
Then check up and let the horse cool of
before stopping, and there will be less
danger of taking cold and of stiff mus.
Giles and less necessity for rubbing down
and make good time on level ground and
on moderate descents. Never keer
the same gait and,speed for long
time, for a change Of gait is equivalent
to a rest.
Never ride horse without first
making his acquaintance and securing
his good will. Go to his head, speak
kind, pat him, look him in the eyes
Whether you are a friend or foe, he
will judge by your voice, your eye and
your breath. Horses judge man as
quickly as man does a horse. Feed
and water abundantly at night after
work and the animal has had time tc
rest and cool off. Feed moderately in
the morning or before work. Partha.
ms and Arabs prepare their horses fol-
hard drives by fasting rather titan
feasting. More horses are injured by
hard driving on full stomach than
by any other process. Never let horse
eat or drink much when it is hot from
work. Study youl horse, treat it &C.
cording to its nature, make it your
friend, and it will do better and safer
service.

A Good Indian Agent.

The president has appointed James Nc

standing Rock agency. j. NJ. Walton of
Corning, Ark, has been appointed special
agent to take charge Of the Cheyenne Indi.
ans, who have been cultivating farms on the
Tongue river in Montana, near Miles City,
ever since their surrender to Gen. Miles some
years ago.
Maj. Mclaughlin is one of the most
practical and popular agents in the service
In fact he Is pre-eminent. His administra-
ton OF the affairs OF the Fort Totten
Indian agency was the wisest and fruitful
OF the best results OF any agent in the In
dian service. He did there what he has
since done at Standing Rock taking COM
munity OF lazy bucks and shiftless squaws,
who were a burden to the government,
and made them practically self-sup-
porting. The record Of the crop
year, both at Totten and Standing Rock,
show his prominently practical work.
The Indians at each OF these agencies are
almost self-supporting. Their grain re-
ceipts make splendid showing for their
practical training. I'm his efforts in behalf
Of his wards Maj. Mclaughlin has ever
been warmly supported by his wife whose
practical knowledge OF the needs OF the In
dams and her movable energy and indomi-
table energy have been all Invaluable adj

Success OF Republicans in Ohio.

The Ohio election resulted in the prob-
able election OF the whole republican ticket,
as follows:
Governor, Joseph 3. Foraker Lieutenant
Governor, Robert p Kennedy; Treasurer
OF State, John G. Brown; Attorney General,
Jacob A. Kohler; Supreme Judge uons
term), T. A. Minshall Supreme Judge (short
term, w. T. Spear: Board OF Public Works.
Wells S. Jones.
The Republican plurality is from TO-
900 to Is, 900.
While no positive statement can he
made as to the political complexion OF the
legislator it is more than proba BILE that the
Republicans will have a good working
majority, which will insure the reelection
OF J ohm Sherman to the senate. A Column
bus dispatch says: "Chairman Powell, OF
the Democratic committee, comedies the
election OF the Republican state ticket by
from $4,000 to. 10000, and thinks they
havc"arried both branches OF the legislature
Gov. Hoadley thinks the Democrats may
have saved the senate. The Republican ex-
ccutive committee claim the election OF
Foraker by from fifteen to eighteen thou
sand plurality, though the complete returns
may make it more. They have Informal
ton from all the doubtful counties, and
have elected their representatives. They
claim 81 majority in joint ballot outside OF
HAMILTON county.
