FARM AND PRESIDE.

TREATMENT OF BALKY HoRsE5.-
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals has put forth the following
rules for the treatment of balky horses
which should command the attention Of
owners of animals addicted to that pro-
voking habit.
l. Pat the horse upon the neck; exam
inc the harness carefully. first on one side
and then on the other, speaking encour-
agingly while doing SO; and then jump in
to the wagon and give the word go; gen.
orally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking him
from the shafts and making him go in
circle till he is giddy. If the first dance
Of this sort doesn't cure him, the second
will.
8. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind till he wants to go, and then
let him go. ---4-as4
4. The brain of the horse seems to en-
terrain but one idea at time; therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him new subject to think
of you will generally have no trouble in
starting him. A simple remedy is to take
couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the foreleg. just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel. and tie In
bowknot. at the first check be will 90
dancing off, and after gong short dis
lance you can get out and remove the
string to prevent injury to the tendon il
your further drive. 8 Ta
5. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs and tie it with cord to the
saddle girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear
close to his head.
The Farmers Union" suggests that il
following any of the above rules, that tn.
manager of the horse does not lose his
own temper and become more balky thai
the horse. 1t Is very common remark
that there are more balky drivers thar
horses. A driver who does not control
his own temper will be very likely to lose
control of balky horse. $50

The Question Of Legality of the Last
Election Raised-illin0is Senator

GALVESTON, May 13.-This community
is still wrestling with the mayoralty
question. notwithstanding two ex-
pensive elections have been held, there
are people who continue to regard the
matter a. unsettled. An interview
published in the News this morning
with Alderman Sherwood chairman Of
the committee of tho whole of the city
council, caused general surprise. Sher.
wood says he did not from the first con-
slider the election on May 18th legal
one, vacancy being necessary quail
ticati IN to make the election legal,
which qualification, says Sherwood, did
not exist. According TO Chairman Sher-
wood, the election on May 18th, which
resulted in majority for r. L. Fulton
of S25 over Atkins, will only be
utilized az matter of evidence before
the city council to enable them to de-
termine who was elected on April @.
This ingenious idea was not publicly
expressed by any member of the city
government prior to the election which
has just been held; hence the voters
were apparently OF the unanimous inn
preston that Mondays struggle was
both final and legal. Touching Sher-
woods opinion, the EveAing Tribune,
the recognized organ of Fulton in
this contest, says. "rhe board of
aldermen will declare the result in legal
form, not upon the vote polled on May
IL, but on the vote cast and counted on
April 6. Eminent legal talent is said to
| agree with this position. A unique con-
dtion of affairs il likely to develop out
of this discovery. In order for the coun-
Gil to declare Fulton elected on the 9th
Of April they will have to throw out the
llpUAnth nj
election as they did in
the Cuney-Allen aldermauic contest.
According TO Sherwood (whose position
is concurred in by several other alder
mem tho election Of May llth is sim
ply 10 be utilized by the council as a
basis upon which to arrive Mt conclu.
sion rs to what WAS the actual vote cast
in the 18th ward on tho 9Th OF April.
| Having reached their conclusion the
council will then cast the llth ward ont
| and declare the result of tho election
held on April 9th. In the meantime
+ Mr., Atkins continues to act as
that he will strenuOusly object to the
result Of the recent election being used
tucast Uutthe returns from the Eleventh
| ward in the April election.
Capt. Atkins sQys he has never YET
broken promise aud is willing 90 abide
by the result Of last Monday election;
that no is willing that Mr.. Fulton shBll
be seated on Mondays result, but il
silent as to Shorwood's plan to use Mon
days result simply az testimony on
which the returns Of April shall
be overthrOwn, Whichever way YOU
look at IL the contest presentsS maze Of
difficulties, hespoaking plumbers At ev-
cry step. Those systems Of prelOuga
tion Of tho contest serve to dishearten
tho community. Three members Of che
city council arc absent. Immediately
on their return the question Of making {
final return on the election for mayor
will be take up.

THE DALLAS & NORTHWESTERN.

At last the energy and capital of this
city have spoken, and the result is
charter for an independent Dallas rail
way from this point TO Seymour, in
Baylor county. The HERALD has long
and Professionally fought for this scheme,
and cannot but rejoice in common with
all the citizens of Dallas that the COM
papy has been formed and the promise
given that this tmuch-needed connec-
ton will be built. The gentlemen who
compose the new company are all mon
OF means, of business tact and standing;
full of energy, and 1t may be stated as
proposition beyond successful contra
diction, that they will do just what they
have undertaken to do-build Dallas
road to the northwest.
The road is not only an enterprise that
win benefit this city, but is likely to
prove, if properly handled, a perfect
bonanza to the incorporators. 1t should
so prove, and no man in Dallas will be-
grudge these enterprising gentlemen a
dollar they may make out Of the
movement. The first to enter the field,
they deserve success and fortune. To
Dallas itself, as the HERALD has always
commended, the outcome must be limit
less.
But the road must not stop at Sey-
mour, nor will those in charge stop IL
there. Across the lower counties of the
Panhandle, the Staked Plains and New
Mexico to Albuquerque, or the junction
of the Atlantic Il Pacific with the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, is magnili-
Gently fertile country,rapldly filling up,
and of character OF itself to afford sup
port to line of railway Independent of
connections. But once started, 100
milts once built, it is comparatively
easy to continue the extension indei-
nitely and thus reach Albuquerque.
This route means another great trunk
line from Dallas to San Francisco, and
one ailording the shortest, most direct
line from New Orleans to the Pacific.
This will be the ultimate purpose and
destination of the route. Bringing into
tributary relation one of the finest Sec
lions on earth, and reaching out to the
Pacific slope, this road will do more for
the city Of Dallas than all its other con-
nectiOns.
But now hat several enterprising gem
tlomen have obtained this charter and
propose pushing this northwestern road
TO completion, the other citizens OF
this city cannot and ought not fold their
hands and wait for thsse inoorporatorf
to do everything. They need assistance
practical as well as sentimental, and arc
entitled to IL. Every man in the city il
interested to an extent in this road, ant
all the energy and enterprise OF Dallas
will be required to build the line. Al
can help and ought TO. After this move
ment is an assured success other line
may be projected, but now all effor
must DO concentrated upon the Dallas
Northwestern. The result, so far, onl,
corroborates the repeated statements o
the HERALD that when the necessity 10
action Is shown our business men AM
property owners, no gentlemen, any
whore, respond with greater libSrslit,
and alacrity.

THE Waco Day seems not to have seen
the HERALDs article repudisting the
Idea that II did not want deep water at
Galveston. The Day deliberately essays
TO show how Dallas Is running counter
to her own interest in opposing deep
water at Galveston, and is DESTROYS of
seeing their harbor filed with sand.
This is very silly and very untrue. OF
course the News copies what the Day
has to say, and persists in saying that
Dallas's motto is "anything TO lnjure
Galveston" Now, once for all, we say
that If the News chooses to hug this
ridiculous self-delusion 1t Is perfectly
welcome to do so, and tho HERALD will
not bother itself any further in the prem
lses. The luminosity Of the HERALD to
either tho paper OF Galveston or its peo-
Pile is fanoied, but that of tho News and
its city is VIGOROUSLY intense and ever
active. They oppose every Dallas on
terprise, and constantly encourage her
enemies. The HERALD trusts the Day
will disabuso itself of tho idea that the
HERALD ontortains any such malicious
feelings as it attributes 20 this paper,
aud not crafty tho spleuotic News with
any moro such articles.
