OUH MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS.
There are some men in this country,
and newspapers as we'll, who are eternally
pointing out the terrible Indebtedness of
the farmer, trying to make people be-
lieve that he is at the door Of bankruptcy.
The latest Is an article from the Albert
Lea Standard in speaking of the mort
gage Indebtedness of Rice county. and
was COPIED by the Great West, two
journals who would like to make US be-
lieve tina: the farmers of our country will
soon all be paupers. Now. this is all
wrong While most of our farmers are
mortgaged. some Of them quite badly, it
is no sign they are on the verge Of bank
ruptcy. Far from it. Many of these
same farmers through this country began
but few years ago with comparatively
nothing. They bought a small piece of
land and went in debt for 1t. This being
paid for they bought additional land,
giving as security mortgage on their
entire farm. Many of these farms have
been improved with substantial farm
buildings, stock. etc. Considering the
value of the land, buildings. stock and
improvements, the amount Of capital put
IN to begin with, the farmer has made
very creditahle showing we think.
The mortgage indebtedness of the
farmer is greatly exaggerated. We know
from the official records of this county,
where thousands Of dollars, on which
partial payments have been made until
the actual debt remaining due is not one
third Of the face of the mortgage notes,
and yet the records show nothing Of these
payments. 1t is easily seen from cases
like this tn 1t the official record of mort
cages exagerate the true Indebtedness of
the country.
We do not wish to convey the i'm
preston that the farmer is getting rich
at every turn. but we do think it is wrong
for men. and especially the newspapers.
to be continually citing the awful mort
gage Indebtedness of our country, thus
putting damper on immigration, lead
ing capitalists to think our securities un-
safe, thereby increasing the rates of in.
terest we would otherwise have to pay
Give the facts as they are, gentlemen.
and thus be help to the country and tc
the farmer rather than detriment.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Napoleon and the English Government

While Napoleon was on the Bellerophon
the resolution of the Government to i'm
prison him for life in ST. Helena was COM
municated to him, and he inquired whether
he could not apply to some tribunal to pre-
vent the purpose being carried into effect.
He was told he could not, but some friends
in England determined to try the virtue of
writ of habeas corpus, and applied for
one. The application, on behalf of the
Emperor, was made by Mr.. Capel Loft, but
the Judges decided that in the case Of an
alien the process was inapplicable. Not
discouraged, Mr.. Loft caused subpoena to
be made out for Napoleon, summoning
him as witness in libel case then pend
ing. The Emperor knew nothing of the
case, of course, but the object was to get
him out of the power of the naval officers.
The subpoena was issued, and an official
sent to serve it, but notice of the proceed
ing reaching the commander of the Beller-
ophon, the constable was not allowed to
board the vessel, and fearing lest other
means should be resorted to, the Bellro-
phon set sail for Torbay, transferred the il
lustrious prisoner to the Northumberland
and soon placed him beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the English Courts.

DON'T FIT HOT SHOES.
Cold Fitted Shoes Wear Well and Don't
Hurt the Hnnf

Hurt the Hoof.
1t is well known to all horseshoers that
many horses feet, particularly the front
ones, and especially in summer time, are
very hard and brittle, and about as diff
cult to cut as cows horn, says a writer in
the Michigan Former Now, if red-hot
shoe is held to horses hoof for few sec
onds the hoof can Immediately be cut as
easily as piece of mellow cheese. Mind
what l say, the foot is always cut instantly
after the burning, or there is nothing
gained by the operation. This alone is the
reason why hot filters follow the practice,
and anything else that is said about it is
merely waste of words, intended to mis-
lead. The word cold-ftting is misnomer,
for there is no such thing. All shoes are
fitted to the horses feet while they are
hot. As the shoe is worked on the anvil
so it is fitted or formed to the foot. 1t is
impossible to fit shoe to horses foot
without scorching it little, or if possible,
no man would take the trouble with cold
shoe for the very good reason "That the
devil gets the smith that hammers cold
iron"
But to do as some smiths do, hold red
hot shoe to a horses foot until the smoke
of the burning hoof actually hides the
smith, is barbarous in the extreme. Doubt
less there are some honest, well-meaning,
but very hard-worked horseshoers that
quiet their consciences by the thought that
burning the hoofs does the horse little or
no harm, and enables it to do more and
easier work With all due Difference to
these men l say most emphatically the
practice is one of the most injurious to
which a horse can be subjected.
1t is all nonsense to say that horseshoes
cannot be made to stay on and wear as well
by cold fitting as by hot fitting. l have
seen horses shod by cold fitting, and the
shoes have remained on over three months
and done well all that time, and the horses
were working every day, Sundays ex-
cepted. do not advocate any such thing,
however, for in my opinion six weeks is a
long time for shoes to stay on any horses
| feet.

showing the White Feather"

Several explanations have been given Of
the manner il which the expression
showing the white Feather" originated
but only two are in any way satisfactory
One is, that among several tribes of Amer.
leans Indians white feather is asymbol
of peace. During the Indian massacres
which attended the Revolutionary wal
three families of Quakers residing on the
borders of Pennsylvania were saved by
friendly Indians placing bunch of white
feathers over the door, and the symbol be-
ing seen by the hostiles, not one of the
households so protected was in any way
molested, though their neighbors on every
side were mercilessly butchered. The
other, and more probable, explanation lies
in the fact that no game cock of pure
breed has white feather, and the appear
ance of such in its plumage is regarded as
the evidence of cross-breeding and conse-
quent degeneration.

IusTICE MILLER.
Death Calls Him From His Field oil
Labor.

WASHINGTON, October 18th. = Justice
Miller died tonight at eight minutes Of
eleven o'clock without struggle, and APP
parently without pain. A few minutes be-
fore he died the phlegm in his throat grad
ually accumulated and his frame quivered.
II was evident that the end was fast APP
preaching, and the members of his house
hold who were not in the sick-room were
hastily summoned to his bedside. Besides
Mrs. Miller and her son, Irvine, there were
present DR.. Cook, ]. w. Woolworth an old
friend of Justice Miller, who had just ar
rived from Omaha, the family servants aud
Chief Clerk McKenney, of the Supreme
Court.
Soon after death the face of the Justice,
which had become somewhat drawndur-
ing the last days of his illness, changed to
a Perfectly natural condition, and he looked
as if in quiet sleep.
No arrangements for the funeral will be
made until tomorrow, but it is certain
that his remains will be removed to his
home in Keokuk, Ia, where they will be
inferred in the family burying ground.
Tomorrow the Supreme Court will meet
as usual and after announcement of the
death of Associate Justice Miller by Chief
'Tnstice Fuller the Court will adjourn.

Beyond the Kings Authority.

Hats, it is to be presumed, were origin
ally intended to be worn in the open air
only. Some people, however, wear them
almost everywhere except at church and to
bed. Even the presence of ladies does not
suffice to 'unhat" all the males at places
Of amusement. 1t has been suggested that
Brother Jonathan's strong sense of per-
sonal and political independence is at the
bottom Of his dissemination to doff his
beaver. He thinks, it is averred, that the
act is sort of abnegation Of his sover-
eighty. But even sovereigns do not always
sport their crowns, and when attired as
private gentlemen, they never keep their
hats on in the mansions of their subjects,
or anywhere else where, in obedience to
the rules of courtesy, gentlemen should I'M
cover.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that a
mans dignity is any way compromised by
removing his head covering as a mark of
respect George Fox, the founder of
| Quakerism, declined to vail his broad brim
at an interview with Charles H., where
upon the King lowered his plumed cap to
| that drab-colored and stiff-necked enemy
of vain shows"
Old George Ill, who, before he became
imbecile, sometimes said a good thing,
once made remark to the Earl of Kin
sale, which is worth quoting in this con-
nectiou. The Earls of Kinsale have the
| privilege, acquired for them by some mail
clad Norman gladiator of wearing their
hats in the presence of royalty, and this
particular peer, instead of asserting his
right but for moment, as had been the
custom Of his predecessors, chose to wear
his chapeau during the whole time that
he was receiving audience from the King
and Queen. One day the King said to
him blandly: "My lord, you have right
to be covered before me, but no King
could give you a right to wear your hat
before ladies'"

male gender in hotel parlors, at public lee

tleman present feels inclined to admin is

Grant ordered the flag on the building at
half-mast, in honor of the ex-Secretary, and
gave directions that the building be draped

HON. W. W. BELKNAP.
The Ex-Secretary of War Found Dead In
His Room.

WASHINGTON, October 13th.-EX-Secre-
tary of War W. W. Belknap was found
dead this morning in room adjoining his
office, 1920 New York avenue. The Coro-
ner has been summoned. 1t is thought his
death was due to paralysis.
General W. w. Belknap was Secretary
of War during President Grants first
term. 1t is believed death occurred be-
tween l o'clock Saturday night and 8
o'clock Sunday morning. From John w.
Cameron, General Belknap's business as
sociate, il was learned that for some time
it had been the Generals habit to meet
few friends at the home of DR.. Hill, who
lives less than a square away, for a social
game of cards. Saturday night he was
with them as usual, and remained until
nearly midnight, when he returned 10 his
apartments in the Evans building, at 1920
New York avenue, aud presumably re-
tired Immediately. He never again was
seen alive.
About $50 this morning Cameron ar
rived at the building and proceeded to the
second floor, where their offices and the
Generals apartments were located. The
servant girl who keeps the rooms raped at
the door and inquired if General Belknap
was out of the city, saying she
had several times since Sunday
morning tried the doors, but
found them Locked. Inc doors were then
forced open and the body was found lying
partly uncovered on the bed. The left
arm was bent rigidly toward the head, and
the left hand clenched as though death
came while he was in a convulsion. The
bedclothes were somewhat disarranged, as
if there had been a slight struggle for
breath. A physician was summoned and
after making an examination expressed
the opinion that death resulted from a
stroke of apoplexy. The Coroner soon
afterward arrived and took the body in
charge.
An autopsy disclosed the fact that the
immediate cause of death was inhamms-
ton of the inner lining of the heart.
Mrs. Belknap, who was in New York,
was summoned by telegraph, also the GEN
erals son Hugh from Chicago. For some
years Belknsp has been almost a constant
sufferer from govt In February he had
so severe an attack that he hardly left the
room for three months or more. During
that time he lost in flesh between thirty
and forty pounds. Since then he has been
in poor health. In consequence of his
long illness his business suffered and this
worried him at times.

old gal? I tell you, dudes and dudines, if
you come fooling around me I'll spit on
