To be able to examine the eyes
of horses with certainty q thorough
acquaintance with their structure
is necessary. If whom horse is
trotted with free rein he is seen
to extend his nose unduly, to move
his ears rapidly, to shy in passing
different colored objects, and to
plant his fore feet with something
Of uncertainty, faulty eyes may be
suspected, and q specially close ex-
animation of them should be made.
In examining the eyes of q horse
| it should be seen that they are
neither too fat nor too convex ex-
ternally, as from either form defec-
tive vision ensues. Abnormal forms
are best seen by looking at the eyes
across from a position close by the
shoulders. The cornea or outer
sections of the eyes are, when the
organs are sound, perfectly trans
parent. Any white streaks, specks
or cloudiness in these or in the in
terror structure of the eyes indi-
cate that they have been inhamed
and are liable to become so again.
To detect white specks, ETC., the
eyes should, in q clear light, be
looked into In front and close by
the cheeks behind When exam
lining for white deposits in the eyes,
care should be taken that no arti-
Gle of clothing, ETC., be upon or
near the person of the examiner,
as it may be reflected in the eyes
and deceive them. Special atten-
ton should be paid to the pupils IN
examining the eyes of horses.
They are the apertures through
which light passes into the interi-
or, and in horses are oblong in
shape and stretch across the front
of the eyes. Except in some white
and cream colored horses they are
generally darker in color than are
| the irises around them. Dark col-
ored, hairlike processes appear
around their edges when they are
examined in clear light, but they
are not defects, as some suppose.
In healthy eyes the pupils con-
tract and expand with the amount
of light they are exposed to. IT
the horse is placedin a shady place
they are large and dilated, but il
he is moved into q glaring light
they contract until they are nearly
closed. In testing for this the ex-
aminer should put the horse in q
clear light, and then place his half
folded palms over his eyes for a
minute or 30. With the light thus
excluded the pupils, if the eyes are
sound, viii dilate and again visibly
contract when the hands are re-
! moved and the light suddenly al
lowed to fall upon them. If no
contraction of the pupils occurs
when this test is fairly tried, the
horse will be blind from paralysis
; of the optic nerves. This may be
!, the case, and nothing is to be seen
amiss when the eyes are looked IN
, to-. Contraction of the pupils on
the sudden admission of light Il
! the most reliable test for this eye
7 affection. One eye only may be af'
! fected, hence the test should be ap
: piled to both. Small worms ar,

They SHIPPED Him.
MARION, April 6.


Dear LIGHT:
Last night crowd Of boys took Aug.
Moczygamba, (whom suppose you
know, } snipe hunting and August tried
his level best to catch some, but without
success. The boys left August about two
miles from here In pasture and came
back to Marion. or course everybody
thought August would tumble to the
racket very soon and come back. The
boys waited about sn hour, and seeing
that their friend was not returning, they
thought best to hunt for him, as he
might get lost In the brush. When we
reached the place, we found August still
holding the sack near the lantern and
Watching for the snipe to come. He had
been holding a sack two hours trying to
catch snipe. The boys are giving Il to
him now and wherever they see him the
cry Ia ''Snipes." August is operator at
the railway station here. BILL.

Keeping Dead Bodies.

VANcEBuRa, KY, May 14.--[Special to
1ribune-Copyrigm, 1888, by the California
Associated Press .]-Seventeen years ago the
son of A. S. Scott living near Portsmouth,
Ohio died. The parents did not wish to
bury the body, as they were going to move.
The father embalmed it. Two years later
the second child died and was treated in the
same manner. All these years the bodies
have been kept in the house by the family
which has lived in a number of places. A
month ago q third child died. 1t was en-
balmed. The family decided to make Ohio
their future residence and bury the bodies
there. 1t was 1ene Thursday in the Sandy
Springs cemetery. Many people never heard
of the affair till the funeral. The corpses
looked like mummles.

A WASHINGTON item says: "a number OF
photographs Of the Chicago Auditorium
building, in which the Republican National
Convention will meet, have been distributed
among Senators and Representatives and
others interested, and have been examined
with great interest. The building, erected
o the four sides of IN inner court, is ar-
ranged for . hotel, while the court consti-
tutes the Auditorium. The greatest exterior
measurement is 1s7x361 feet. It's height
will be ten stories, or IA feet, and the
tower 225 feet, with . foundation area of
40x71 feet. The Auditorium will have seats
for 5000 persons, with = full capacity for
5000. The stage will be large enough to
accommodate nearly 1900 persons.
This building and auditorium, constructed
on the same plan, ranks next to the Pension
Office building At Washington, which is
200x400 feet on the exterior. The covered
cortile or court measures 316x116 feet and
120 feet high, and will accommodate on the
door and galleries $4,000 persons, or $1,000
persons closely packed. There are 1900
clerks employed In the building and scarcely
noticed.
The Chicago building will not be fully
completed. 1t IL o up to the sixth story,

The Disston's Saw Works Burned Out,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May -. - The large
brick building which contained the steel
works and rolling mill of Disston's extensive
saw works at Tacony was totally destroyed
by fire which broke out a few minutes after
2 O'Clock this morning. The structure was
in ruins within an hour, causing a loss OF
$500 600 on which there is an insurance of
$3.50 ,O00. The building was 400x100 feet in
dimensions, and 250 persons were employed
in it. All Of these will be thrown out of
employment, and as all the work done in
the establishment passes through this de-
partment, 1000 other employees will be more
or less affected. The mill was the most
complete of its kind in this country. The
works had been running night and day for
some time on account Of an Unusually large
number of orders awaiting ful6lment, this
having promised to be the busiest year In
the history of the firm.

Butte "Miner" vi. Butte Miner
Missou1ian 9th.

Speaking of newspapers, Agent Roman was
in town the other day, and related one of
bis little yarns. Some time ago An agent Of
the Butte Miner was in Missoula, and at the
same time an Indian who could speak 4 lit
tie English, but didn't know anything about
newspapers, was in the city. The willy
agent, seeing the Indian was a ready listener,
began to talk up the Miner, praising its pol
ished editorials, its splendid telegraphic SER
vice and its sparkling local, until the Indian
asked him how much would do him. The
agent said IS. A week or two afterwards
the Indian got q copy of the Miner, which
created no little curiosity in the lodge.
Finally the Indian got upon his cayuse and
started for the Agency. He found Agent
Roman, and producing the copy Of the Miner,
wanted to know what it meant. The
agent asked him if be didn't subscribe for
the Miner. He said yes; he "meet man in
Mlssoula who all talk about subscribe for
Butte Miner, great Butte Miner, and he give
him S.; he thought good miner in . hole
and cave fall on him and break bis legs, and
he'd help him" After the matter was ex-
planned, the fellow jumped upon his cayuse
and muttering something about Indian being
big d., rode away.

THE DIFFERENCE.

There has been q good deal said lately
about the timber regulations as enforced be-
ing the work Of Secretary Of Interior Teller
some years ago, and the prosecutions of the
Sparks and Stockslager regimes are laid at
his door. There is q vast difference between
the { obstruction placed on The words "min-
eral lands" by Secretary Teller, and that
place. upon them by the Commissioners
mentioned. Secretary Teller held, If we
recollect Alright, that all lands in the mineral
regions were "mineral lands" within the in.
tent Of Congress in granting permission to
use the timber therefrom for industrial and
dome site purposes, while Sparks ruled that
they must be shown by legal divisions to be
mineral lands before they could come under
that classification. Secretary Teller was q
western man who knew the req uirements of
mining aud other industries and construed
the law on q broad and just basis; Mr.. Sparks
probably never was in any western mineral
region in his life, and his successor appears
to be equally unqualified for determining
matter relating thereto. This makes the
difference in the application of these reglla-
tions. M"~. ~ .". "5 ~"..

THE OUTLOOK FOR LIVINGSTON.

Until recently there were but four aspir-
ants for Delegate TO the Chicago Convention,
viz: Major Eaton, of Cooke City, Col. E. c.
Waters, Of Billings, Major W. W. Anderson,
of Bozeman, and Judge VIM. j. Galbraith,
of Deer Lodge. Judge Galbraith is for AL.
lison, but we had not learned the preference
of the others. A. short time ago, however,
the name Of +. G. Power, of Helena, was
proposed, who, we believe, is also for Alli-
son. This considerably disturbed any con-
ditions that may have existed before, and
may extend even to the Congressional; Del
e~gateship. The Helena and Butte delegates
appear to be pretty solid for Power and
Eaton, and they 60 into a convention Of 80
with 20 votes.
Col. Isaac D. McCutcheon has TOR some
time been in the field as candidate for Mon
tana member of the National Committee, a
position the Butte delegation desires for
Gen. Chas. S. Warren. Messrs. Warren,
Mantle and Wyman went to Helena yester.
day, and this matter may be "adjusted'' sat-
isfactorily. Aside from the s'committeehan'
1t looks to US now the work of the conven-
ton will show as salient features a resolu-
ton of thorough good will for Blaine, and
the sending of Eaton and Power, unin-
structed, to the Chicago Convention.

Resolutions were unanimously adopted
d%enounciug tbs acts of the Cleveland Ad-
ministration as relates to the use of timber
in Montana, the postal service, the deprecia-
ton of silver, its free trade tendencies, its
carpet bag appointments, its ''surplus"
heresy, its hostility to Montana int
rests and the "sickening exhibition Of moral
cowardice and puslllanimo sity" of the Dem
ocratic leaders in passing resolutions endors-
ing President Cleveland for his course,
while privately condemning the acts ofthe
Administr alton in relation to silver, lumber,
wool, leai aud Federal appointments"
They further declared in favor Of protection
to American industries and American labor,
the free coinage of silver, home rule, and
against 'the importation into this country of
any class of labor, no matter from what sec
ton of the earth 1t may come, that is not
free and untrammeled."
The following resolution, offered by Chas.
S. Warren, was supported by ringing
speeches and unanimously adopted:
Re solved, that the true American, lofty
patri OF, faithful advocate Of Republican
principles, friend of Montana, and the great
est statesman of the age, James G. Blaine,
notw outstanding his d%eclination, is the
choice of this convention for President of

The Great Power thinks itself unarmed.

LONDON, May 10.-The Daily Telegraph
in q column Article headed "England in
danger" asserts on ssthe highest military
authority" that the strength of the army is
entirely insufficient. It says:
II extra men were enlisted tomorrow there
could be 10 barrack accommodations for
them. Many of the artillery batteries are
provided with the worst guns served to any
existing army. Thought We possess an I'M
surpassed gun we have no means of manufac-
turing guns except after much delay. We
also have the best magazine rifle yet invented
but not a single regiment is provided with
such rifles. Army stores are lamentably
insufficient. The naval situation is almost
as bad. The ornaments of the forts, the
guns served to volunteers and the shot and
shells at Woolwich are mostly of the obso-
lete pattern. Four of the finest iron-clad
vessels are without guns, and two of them
will have none until March, 1889.
