chance to secure permanent farms. You

waste and a hunting ground. Civilization

OF course the usual division arose: the
conservatives" wanted to live In the old
way; the "cranks" were willing to try IL
matters could not be bettered But the
new feature In this conference was the
appearance Of third party--wily Indians
who knew well enough that the land
must be given up. but wanted to "scare"
the white man and get all the advantage
possible. And 1t looks very much as II
they had succeeded. The commissioners
say they have never met or heard of
three Indians the equals in talent of
Gall, Mad Bear and John Grass. Mad
Bear has a noticeable resemblance to
Henry Clay; his forehead and general
profile would not misbecome the United
States senate.

Cleveland, of Dakota, is presumably best
acquainted with Sioux character. Judge
Wright. of Tennessee, is a man of wide
experience in discussions requiring deli
cate management. The third commits

His Eve Got Too Hot,

Glass eyes never produce irritation or
become painful except when exposed for
a long time to a strong flame. This is
strictly prohibited. A very amusing in
stance came under my notice some time
ago. A horse dealer, who visited we'll
known auction and salesroom in this city,
purchased horse. which, to all appear,
ances, was'a model of symmetry and per-,
fection. but two nights afterward, while
standing in front Of a lamppost on Broad
way, he suddenly became restless, and
darted through the streets In great fury.
When stopped his owner became alarmed
on discovering the animals eye blazing
hot. but further investigation laid the
swindle bare, and the glass eye was at
once extracted. Joseph w. Gavan in New

have been holding services there on
alternate Sundays for over three
years, and it is not easy to cut away
from the friends and earnest work
ers I have known there. It is the
wish of the Bishop that Nevada and
Butler should have more regular
services than they have yet had, and
under his advice have taken charge
Of Nevada. Butler is blessed with
a very churchly church building,
though it is small, and its interior is
very nicely furnished throughout.
The one who takes charge there will
find the lines falling to him in very
pleasant places. He will give to
Butler every Sunday in the month
but one, and that will be devoted to
Rich Hill, twelve miles away, on the
III. & s." division of the Missouri
Pacific. Butler is the county seat
Of Bates county, and has 5000 peo-
pie. Rich Hill is a mining town,
and has the same number. st.
Marks has thirty-three members.
Under such workers as Mr.. and Mrs.
Brugler, Miss Lu Lansdown and
Miss Buck, the Sunday-school has
made splendid progress and now
numbers sixty scholars. Through
the kindness of Mr.. J. K. Brugler a
perfect little home of seven rooms
on the lot adjoining the church is
given to the use of the minister free
Of rent. I cannot speak of Butler
without recording the constant kind
nesses of Mr.. and Mrs. J. K. Brug-
ler, and never in my experience have
I met such cheerful, tireless church
workers. Through them there is q
strong centre of Christian influence
established in Butler. They have
worked xsalously for the church in
its sunshine and its storm for eight
cen years, and were It not for them
the Episcopal church would scarce
y be known in that fair town.

Marshall, Mo-, Feb. 22.-W. B.
Sample and M. X. McClain and his
father lived on adjoining farms on
Fish creek four miles south of Gil
liam in this county, and between the
two was fence and o shed which
could be used from both sides. Old
man McClain's hogs were by agree
ment allowed the use of the shed.
Last night as Sample was milking
McClain and his son Marshall rode
up and the two claimed that Sample
had fastened their hogs out of the
shed. High words followed when
young McClain drew a revolver and
shot Sample in the left breast, kill
ing him, and was about to fire
again but was preventedby Samples
wife.
It is said that old man McClain
told his son to do the shooting.
The officers have arrested McClain,
and he will have his trial tomorrow

woman with a revolver in her hand
and ordered to leave premises. They
did not:go at once and she fred
three shots into the crowd, but with
out hitting any one. Last night the
boys in the neighborhood went to
finish the serenade, but were met as
the men had been met before, and
ordered off the premises. After
they reached the road there were
four shots fred into the crowd. One
of the bullets struck Homer Haviland,
a boy Of 16 years, going entirely
through his body. He is alive yet.

was to be married to an Omaha
girl, and the day fixed was June 4

the groom did not materlalize, and

ceived:
"For heavens sake, tell us what
is the matter. This is your we'd
ding day, and the hour approaches"
He was scared half out of his
wits, and bounced around like q
hen with her head cut of. Then
he rushed to the telegraph Office
and sent this answer:
Thought l had three days
grace. Don't let 1t 60 to protest.

FARM and HOSEHOLD.
The Custom OF Putting Blinds on
Horses.

The custom of putting blinds on
horses unfortunately is a great
error, says Col. J. @. BatterSOy III
his trestise on practical horseman'
ship. Following are in brief some
of the statements made by him on
the use of blinds on horses.
Carriage horses look well III
snowy headgear and handsome
blinds are a great improvement to
the style and general appearance
OF real we'll set up carriage horses
But for buggy, cart, car, stage
wagon, truck and general traveI
they are wholly unnecessary, anu
as regards safety they are a detrl-
meut rather than an advantage
Horses, like ourselves, want to see
where they are going, ana Tue
horse that SHES proves that be
wants TO keep cut OF danger by
the very fact of his shying. we
must consider that horse leading
an artificial life like ourselves,
walking in the dark in a strange
place, don't see what is around
him if he has blinds on, and IS
therefore, naturally timid aud
careful. II a horse is too careful
and takes too wide a circuit Ill
sbying, it is with the best lnten'
tons from his instincts. But be
cause he does a little too much he
should not be abused, but spoken
to softly and kindly.
A shying horse and a sulky
horse are different. ShyiDg is no
vice; 1t is more habit than
fault. There are times when
shying horse would save liie-lf III
would only shy at the right tim'
and place. Our course Is to chas
tise OF correct a horse, II necessary
for doing wrong, and encourag
him for doing right. To give
horse The advantage of seelnI
around him we would use a head
stall without blinds. Bat W
would make an exception o
Che carriage horse, for we wan
him for style, park chow and eS
cusable vanity, and to indulge thl
harmless ambition we will adm
that the carriage and coupe, TO
this reason, should have on blind
and let the driver look out 10
danger.

HINTS ABOUT POULTRY HOUSES,


OF oh points connected with the
and building OF poultry
houses. that of ventilation receives,
perhaps, the least consideration
though it is one OF the most im.
pOrtant as every one is ready in a
general way to acknowledge. The
most usual compromise for intelh-
gent ventilation is to make a lew
holes IN one end of the house and
let the air get in and out as best 1t
can. But such a method is TO be
avoided neither should any holes
he maze near the ground or any
thug done to create draught up
wards, as when this occurs there is
great danger of the fowls having
to roost midway between two
openings. Ventilation must be
procured without strong dranghts.
The plan of forming a small cham
Der in the roof of the house and
inserting ventilating traps at each
end of this chamber will be found
good one.
The floor is another very i'm.
portant item. 1t ought not to be
less than SIX inches above the
ground outside, so as to prevent
water running into the house which
it will Il o, If below or upon level.
OF all the floors that may be laid
down in a poultry house the fol-
lowing is one of the best. First,
dig the ground out to a depth of
twelve or fifteen inches, and then
fill up halt of this with broken
bricks, gravel, burnt ballast, coarse
stones or Stag, which must be we'll
beaten down. A compost OF coal
ashes, fine gravel, quicklime and
water must next be made, well
mixed together and spread over
the other so as to raise the floor to
I
the required height above the
ground. This, when hardened,
Will he a perfectly dry floor, one
upon winch water will not stand,
and vet it will be hard and firm in
its nature, as we'll as warm and
comfortable. IL is easily cleaned
and inexpensive. Of course ashes
or soil must be always thinly
spread over it, as they should be
upon every kind OF floor, and re-
newed every day or two.
The question of size is one that
must of necessity be ruled by the
inclination of the owner. We
mean as to whether he prefers tC
have one house or several scattered
about. \ house u feet long by {
wide and or feet from the floor
to the caves will be large enough
to accommodate fifty fowls.
