We have received a note from a young lady politically inclined asking us which is considered the most doubtful state. We are rather inclined to believe, with many others, that the state of matrimony is the most doubtful. But then this is disputed by a professional gentleman down town who claims that a man is in the most doubtful state when he has three aces and gets back raise of $5.75 from 6 one-card draw.

Numbers of letters and dispatches are
received daily in regard to the sale from
all parts of the United States. This
is due good deal to the fact
that the carefulness and discrimination
with which the stock was selected
is very well known. The price was
nothing. The only point was as to
quality. This being the case, the pro-
duce of the stock was placed beyond
question; That is to say, a foal by, So So,
Fannie WitherSpoOn, or any other of
these names, by either Blackwood, Jr.,
Won Arnim or Revenue, would neces-
sarily bring firSt-claSs price and be a
first-class animal. The Turf, Field and
Farm, in speaking of the sale, says:
There is no reserve price on any of
the fOrty-five animals in the catalogue.

A CLOSE CALL.
The Great Pancoast Nearly Killed
by Lightning.

Mr.. Shuts, of Brooklyn, paid s2s, 600
for Pancoast, the sire of Patron, 2:141lS,
at the Great Glenview sale. The Spirit
of the Times gives the following par
ticulars of how he came near losing
him few days ago:
During the appalling thunderstorm of
June Is, the two faithful attendants of
PancOast and Cuyler, Mike Coyne and
Jack Miller, had bedded down their
charges and gone to the main barn.
While in the main building there came
a binding flash, followed by stunning
report. THAT seemed to be in the di-
rection of the stud barn." remarked
Mike. The two men peeped through
the door, their eyes dazZled by the in
cessant blazing overhead. When there
was an interval between flashes Mike
asked his companion if he had left a
light in PancOast's stall. The reply
was in the negative. ''Then," was the
startling rejoinder. ''his stall is afire!"
The two rushed through the flooding
downpour and found the supposition to
be only too true. Throwing opening
the door they discovered the stall in
flames and choked with smoke. Dash
ing in, the two valiant grooms tossed
the burning cloths and straw outside,
where the rain quenched them. Pro-
curing lantern, they found Pancoast
prone on his right side in the center of
the stall, cold and rigid, and blood gush-
ing from his nostrilS. Calling help, a
half dozen sturdy fellows fell to rubbing
the stallion, and were finally rewarded
by signs of life. The treatment was
kept up for hours, and when daylight
came the horse was restored to con-
SciOuSneSS.
The lightning took singular course,
as that erratic fluid generally does. 1t
first struck a large oak behind the
stable. From the oak it passed through
the partially open window in Cuyler's
stall, over the partition into Pancoast's
burning the interior of his left ear and
taking the skin off the upper eyelid.
From the stallion it passed to the door,
setting fire to some cloths hanging
alongside. From there it passed again
into Cuyler'S stall, making scattering
exit through the roof and sides. Strange
to say, Cuyler was not injured or even
shocked. PancoaSt was supposed to be
standing when struck, as it was his
habit to amuse himself by looking
through the space between the half
doors some time before lying down. The
eye and left side was partially par
alyZed, though he is now able to stand
and move about feebly. Under excel
lent veterinary care, it is thought he
will be fully recovered in short time,
but his stud season is necessarily cut
short. Mr.. Shuts was deeply moved
when he heard the news, as he has a
strong affection for his noble stallion.
We rejoice with him that "Jack" Is on
the road to recovery, and trust that be-
fore the fell destroyer makes his final
visit he will have many Patrons to his
credit

Miscellaneous

Taking it all in all, the trotter will
grow. just as well with a good straw bed
in log hut as in bed of moss in a pal
ace barn, and the common farmer. who.
from long experience, has learned to
attend to all the little wants that 60 to
make up the everyday life of the colt.
keep both ends growing equally and
bring him up to the full size and form
that nature designed, has in the long
run little the advantage over the
millionaire, who has only the knowledge
of theory, without the knowledge of
everyday practical experience. The
common farmer is just beginning to
realize the possibilities for profit in rails
ing trotting- bred horses. A little time
spent during the long winter evenings
studying the recorded facts and history
of the trotter, and an intelligent use
made of these facts by keeping in lines
that have uniformly produced size,
style, good color and kind, intelligent
disposition, united with speed, will just
as surely bring profitable returns as
planting field of corn.
Given the important roles which cav
airy and artillery play in the art ofimOd-
ern warfare, it may be interesting to
know the total number of animals which
the leading countries of the world can
throw into the field OF battle. Here, ac-
cording to the latest statistics, is the
list: Russia. 21,570,O00 horses: Amer
lea, 9,500,000; the Argentine Republic,

ONE REMEDY.
A Few Words of Plain Advice to
the People.

Since you will insure, and it is right
and just that you should, trust no agents
mere word. Consult the insurance COM
missioner, study up the plan you pro-
pose to adopt, write to competent au-
thorities where the cempany's head
quarters are for information of it.
There are honorable and straight
dealing assessment insurance organiza-
tiOns. They have capital. honest officers
and intend to do what is right.
But under the existing state of affairs
in Minnesota, where the insurance law
cannot protect you, and where the field
is open to rascally organizations. be
careful. The record in Minnesota is a
bad one. When you desire to insure
find out what you want first, then go
ahead. Above all things, use your in
fiuence to have fair assessment insur-
ance law passed by the next legislature.
