LITTLE Rock, Ark. Special.-The proceed
ings of the Clayton Breckenridge investigat-
ing committee to-day were very sensa-
tonal, and attracted a large crowd
OF spectators to the court room.
During the morning the two clerks of
election in Howard township, Conway
county, told what they knew about the
taking of the ballot box and the murder of
Clayton. In the afternoon James
Safer, the man supposed to have
discovered the murderer of Clayton
arrived from Jacksonville. Ind. He was
put on the stand and told about the same
Story, duplicating Thomas Hooper as the
murderer, that was contained in the
report telegraphed few days

Hooper, a young man twenty-three years
of age, was examined at considerable
length and c1rroborated much of the ext
denCe given by Safer. During Mrs. Hoop
er's examination, she denied ever having
heard OF or met Safer. This afternoon
her son, while in the presence Of Gov. Eagle
and others, saw Safer and, going up to him,
extended his hand and called him by name.

SOCIAL EQUALITY.
An Address on That Subject by
Archbishop Ireland in Washington.


WASHINGTON, Special. Archbishop Ireland
of st. Paul preached in st. Augustine
(colored) Catholic church in this city to a
large congregation of white and colored
people on Social Equality He was pre-
pared to say that there was no such thing
as a color line except in the minds of those
whose intellects were clouded by unjust
reasoning. The solution of the question
was that they should look one another in
the face as members of the same family,
children of the same God and all living
under the same teachings Of religion, reason
and virtue. Because of the simple accident
of color, it did not follow that they were to
be treated on different lines religiously and
socially. They were all of the same an
cestry, alike in the possession of souls and
being Gods children, and it was entirely a
matter of accident whether they were black,
white or red. 1t was wrong to neglect at
tention to substance and direct it only to
the accident. and of all accidents in life, the
one of color was the least important He
felt ashamed that prejudices of this kind
should exist, especially in the United States.

ents began to complain of drouth last week, but
the recent heavy fall of snow and rain through
out the North and West will tend to restore the
confidence of farmers who were beginning to fear
a repetition OF last years experience Although
1t is still early to form all estimate of the
areas seeded, reports indicate a diminution from
the acreage usually sown in Illinois, Wisconsin
and the Dakotas. Nebraska correspondents re-
port slight increase in acreage. The area seed
ed in Minnesota and Iowa will probably be about
the same as that OF last year. Taking into ac-
count the favorable conditions for seeding that
have prevailed over the spring wheat belt and
the timely rains that have just fallen, farmers
have reason to expect good harvests from the
crop. We summarize by percentage as follows

THE HORSES FARMERS SHOULD
BREED.
Not Fast Trotters, but Fast Walkers, the
Animals Needed.


Major Hugh I. Brooks gives some good
advice to farmers breeding horses, in the
New York Weekly Tribune.
He says: The publicity given to trials of
speed, the zeal of the press in announcing
achievements of the victors, the gaping
multitude assembled to witness the races,
all go to create the belief that fast horses
are the kind to raise. Accordingly, stall.
lions with trotting record are sought by
farmers, who ought to breed stronger and
heavier horses-nsled by the foolish delu-
sion that the chances are pretty good for
raising $1,000 colt by breeding to u cee-
brity or one of his descendants In 90 cases
in 100 tho colt fails to distinguish itself by
speed, and fails seriously as a team-horse
having neither bone, muscle nor weight to
answer the demands of the best market
The highest speed is practically useless; no.
body but a drunken or crazy man drives on
the public highway about his ordinary bust
ness faster than a mile in four minutes; and
the effort to breed the fast-goers prevents
rearing of strong hardy serviceable walk
ers.
The present cost of doing the blowing and
teaming of farmers might be reduced % per
cent by breeding and training their horses.
mules and oxen in way to develop their
walking powers. Moping teams are him
drance in American agriculture and yet tho
managers of our country fairs don seem to
know that tho walking gait ought to be en-
couraged Farm teams walk 10 miles where
they have any need to trot one. | know a
successful farmer who never drives faster
than a walk; he draws his produce 10 miles
to market; always has fat horses that do
splendid service in their old age. Not hay
ing to make long stops, he gets around about
as soon as his neighbors, and gets more work
from his team in the course OF a year than
they do, though he feeds less grain.
very large share of diseased and dis
abled horses are made so by fast driving.
and large share of the accidents fatal to
life and limb are traceable TO the same
cause. There are horses that can walk five
miles an hour; by judicious breeding and
training, horses generally might very nearly
reach that mark. That kept up through
the day is about as fast ordinary teams
go that are not confined to walk When
roads are billy and rough, as most roads
are, teams are compelled to walk most of
the way; if slow walkers. they don't aver
age five miles an hour, though they take q
faster gait when they can. Drawing loads.
and going light over poor roads, good
walkers, confined to a walk get over more
ground than good trotters can. An ac-
quaintance of mine walked his horse 10
miles drawing a heavy road-wagon be-
tween sunrise and shutdown. Whether we
require teams to trot or not, they must walk
good deal of the time; if slow walkers, they
accomplish little, hinder the driver and de
lay the work-that is the kind OF farming
that doesn't pay. Let all sound fast-w walk
ing mares be bred to horses that can walk
five miles an hour Let all colts be trained
to walk fast
