BREEDING FOR SEX.
A Theory That 1t lis Claimed viii
Accomplish the Object.

Ii. T. Harris, writing to the Breed
ers' Gazette upon the fruitful subject of
breeding for sex, seems to think this
difficult problem is finally conquered
and settled. But it is yet a secret which
the discoverer is not willing to make
public until he secures his millions out
of it. Mr.. Harris says:
81 wish to call your attention to a
theory wrought out and established by
friend and neighbour, Robert Slaughter.
He proved his theory first by breeding
his own mares and calling his neigh
borS' attention to the prediction that
these mares would have horse colts and
those mares FLY foals, and so on, until
they were convinced that he knew what
he protested, that sex was governed
by natural laws, and that ne knew those
laws and how to avail himself of their
benefit ia breeding any kind of stock.
So his neighborS made use of his
knowledge with universal satisfaction,
until stockmen from far and near have
sought his advice. with the result that
/ have not been able to find man con-
versant with the facts that has any
doubt in regard to the matter.
''In short, man who knows Slaugh-
ter's theory can breed with certainty as
to sex, and it is as simple, when under
stood, as breeding to horse when you
want colt Of the horse kind or to
jack if you want one of the mule kind.
Now it is apparent to any thinking
mind that all unerring theory. based
upon known natural laws on this sub
iect, is worth millions to its author if
properly handled"

DESERVED PROMOTION.
An Experienced Railroad Man
and His Career.

Hopewell Clarke, for a number of
years identified with the land depart
ment of the Northern Pacific railroad,
has resigned his position as chief clerk
of that department to accept an appoint
ment as land commissioner of the st.
Paul & Duluth railroad, to take effect
tomorrow, Dec. Is.
Mr.. Clarke'S experience has been of
such an extent and nature as precisely
fits him for the proper administration
of the duties of his Office. He has had
the benefit of thorough education in
civil engineering, and has practiced that
profession in connection with railroads
and privately since 1874, when he made
his first appearance with the engineer
corps of the Pennsylvania railroad. In
1880 he came to Minnesota and became
QUE of Capt. W. W. Rich's staff on the
Minneapolis IL st. Louis and on what is
now known as the Minnesota Central
railroad. In May, 1888, he became a
timber land explorer for the Northern
Pacific railroad, and displayed such
marked ability that within six weeks
from that time he was made chief tim
Der inspector of that road. April 1,
1887. he was appointed chief clerk in
the Office of the general land agent.
The fame of his management Of that
office soon spread abroad, and his pres
ent appointment is a testimonial of the
approval with which his administration
has been watched

QLSEN'S EXPLANATION.
Mrs. Lindemann Wanted Him to
Have Her Money.

After Witnesses Nelson and Olsen
testified yesterday that their drug store
was not open when it is alleged Olsen
purchased, the poison, the defendant
was placed upon the stand. He told,
through an interpreter. where he came
from in Sweden. and how he travelled
in Mrs. Lindermann's company all
through the East, coming west in 1880.
He then rehearsed the story told by all
the other witnesses, and said that he
sat up day and night with Mrs. Linde-
mann during her illness. The day the
moneywas drawn Mrs. Lindemann called
Carrie Olsen to the bed side and told her
to go with Olsen to the bank and get
the money. Witness asked her, "What
do you want with it?' She replied; eff
die you can't get it," She sent Mrs.
Eckberg after Carrie Olsen to get the
letter and go for the money. When
questioned why he wrote Nels Linde-
mann that his mother was still living
and about to start for Europe, when she
had been dead over a year, he said
he didn't want the people of Big
Stone county to hear about her death,
because thew had predicted it.

Charity for the Orphans.

If there is any one trait of human

1t is the one beautiful and sublime
characteristic, charity; and where a

his daily business-neglects for the

HELD FOR MURDER.
A Quartette OF Polanders Impli-
Gated in a Fatal ARRAY.

The coroner,s inquest over the re-
mains of Frank Kohout was held at the
city morgue yesterday afternoon. From
the testimony of the attending physi-
clans it appeared that Kohout received
two ugly wounds, either of which was
necessarily fatal. DR.. Witherle testified
that had they known the exact nature
of the wounds the operation of trepan-
ming would not have been performed, as
the case was a hopeless one. Several
witnesses were produced who identified
four of the six p0landers under arrest
as participants in the fatal fight. Two
witnesses were sworn, who stated that
there were also in the affray two Po-
lauders who have not been unprecedented,
though the police are looking for
them. When Mrs. Kohout. the
brought face to face with the
accused men she was overcome by grief
and wept bitterly. She could only
identify positively big Andrew iSafar,
whom several witnesses testified to
having seen WELD the heavy post with
which one of the fatal blows was in
flicted. Two of the accused will prob
ably be discharged. as no evidence was
Observation-Disclosures them. The in
quest was conducted by County After
ney Egan, Attorney Dick Warner ap-
pearing in the interests of the Poland
ers. The case will be brought up in the
municipal court this morning.
The jury returned the following YER
dict:
THAT Andrew Safar, John Gayola,
Michael Ghisak and Michael Resinski
were concerned and present at the time
of the infliction of the wounds upon
Frank Kohout; and that we have had
testimony presented TIC us involving the
said parties as intlicting blows upon de-
ceased that led to and caused his death,
and we have reasonable cause to believe
that they are accessories to the crime of
killing said koheut." -.

Boiling Potatoes.

Select potatoes of the same size, peel
and pour over boiling water to barely
cover, according to the Rural New
Yorker. Cook until tender. but not so
they will fall in pieces, drain off every
particle of water, stand ON the back Of
the stove. drawing the lid half an inch
to one side to allow of the escape of
steam. In minute replace the lid,
hold tightly in place and inYert the
saucepan once or twice. Again return
to the fire, removing the lid as before,
replace, invert again and turn into the
dish in which they are to be served.
This will give mealy potatoes If there
be any mealineSs in them.
Evergreen boughs make an excellent
covering for young rosebushes. Corn
stalks can be utilized In no manner as
we'll as for covering plants that are to
be exposed to the weather during the

UNNATURAL POSITION.
Some of the Checks and Devices
That Are of the Cruel Order.

That Are OF the Cruel Order.
Prof. d. Wagner, the author of the
Standard Horse and Stock Book, is
probably one Of the best horse trainers
in this country. A man of intelligence,
imbued with almost idolatry for the
horse, he commands our highest esteem
for the many good things he says and
recommends in his book, says the DeS
Moines Register. And some things
which have for years annoyed us. and
which he condemns, are the use of
checks and blinds. The check rein,
by which horses are compelled to hold
their heads in an unnatural and
painful position, is a species of
cruelty which fashion tolerates, but
condemn. 1t adds no beauty or grace
ward and constrained motion. If any
man wants to know how it is himself
let him have his head thrown back un;
naturally and held in that position all
day, while he is compelled to work. 1t
would be as painful to him as to the:
horse. And yet mefcifuf men and
tender-heartedl ladies are guilty of this
cruelty to noble animal, and simply
because it is the temporary fashion,
established by gracelesS and unfeelingI
mobS,
CALLED HORSE JOCKEYS.
On this subject Prof Magner says
"The custom of using arbitrary checks!
upon horses for giving fictitious style to-
them i'll driving, at the expense of a.
great deal of comfort, freedom and vital
force, is of the same foolish character
with various senseless customs of both
civilized and savage nations, such as
the cramping of the feet of Chinese
women, or the wearing of the finger
nails to such length as to interfere
with the freedom of the hands, flatten-
ing the heads of Indian children, and
the tattooing Of the body of African and
other tribes"
This cruel and unsightly practice is
only ON a par with similar cruel
fashion which preceded it, introduced
by wicked and wantOnly cruel horse
jockeys, that of cropping, nicking and
docking. The ears were cropped and
nicked Antil the ridiculous sight was
frequently witnessed of a short, elevated
tail with only a short tuft of hair hang
ing to it. That, too, was not only
ridiculous in appearance, but cruel in
the extreme, and the next decade will
decide that the present wicked treat
meut of the horse is a disgrace to any
civilized nation. And we rejoice
that Prof. Magner has undertaken
by cuts and Representations OF the
physiology of the horse to check this
foolish and cruel practice, lat least among
sensible and merciful people. But fash !
ion is SO arbitrary and despotic in its
rulings, it istsuperior to the promptings
of mercy, morality or religion. What
ever fashion the horse Jockey adopts for
the race track, or the fair grounds, must
be adopted by saint or sinner in town
or country. no matter how great the suf-
fering to the n0blest of dumb animals.
