Ing Beast.-PythagOras.
In the common interest of hu.
manity, / feel compelled to offer q
few remarks, regarding most bar.
barous act of cruelty, perpetrated
upon horses and mules, viz: Burn
ing, by means of q red-hot iron, the
''bars" or ridges situated in the
roof of the mouth, constituting the
''hard palate" for the condition
known as "Lampas."
Now, lampas is neither more, nor
less than swollen condition of this
part of the roof of the mouth due
to congestion and Inflammation dur
ing the period of teething, seen in
almost all young "solipeds' at the
time they shed their temporary, OF
colt teeth, TO become possessed of
their permanent, horse teeth. 1t
occasionally occurs in older horses
and mules, and is usually due to
some error in feeding lit may be
overlooking.
Imagine for one moment a human
medical practitioner taking red-hot
iron, and, with it, burning the
swollen and iniamed gums of a
child under similar circumstances.
And yet the conditions are almost
identical. The only difference be-
ing, that one is a human being, the
other poor dumb brute.
1t is sad to relate, but neverthe-
less true, that this cruel practice has
been in operation for ages, and in
nearly every country in the world,
but it is sincerely to be hoped, that
such painful and unnecessary tor
turing will die a natural death, and
that people will take little more
time to consider before subjecting
the noble animals to such inhuman
treatment or rather maltreatment.
Not only does it occasion excru-
ciating agony to the dumb sufferer
at the time, bat the after conse-
quences in many cases are of a most
grave and serious nature, as ssteta-
nus, commonly known as lock-jaw
frequently results.
All the treatment that is neces-
sary in most cases is to give the
animal a dose of purgative medi-
cine, such as ball composed of
four or Eve drachms of Barbadoes

of the hour in Democratic cir
cles, for the able manner in which
he has compelled the majority Of
the House committee on rules TO
act in reporting the code of rules
sooner than they intened. The
new rules are about as one-sided
and unfair to the minority as they
could well be, and give Speaker
Reed almost as much authority as
he has exercised without them. 1t
took seven hours to get majority
vote in their favor from the Repub-
lican caucus, and from all accounts
the discussion was at times ex-
tremely bitter. A Democratic eau
Gus also considered the rules re-
ported, and although they regard
them as SO many gag-laws, it was
decided that if the Republicans
would allow reasonable time for
their debate, SO that their injustice
might he shown to the country, no
unusual obstacles would be inter-
posed by the Democrats to prevent
the adoption by the majority, as
they only wish to put themselves
on record as protesting against
their adoption.
A Agloom has been spread over Of
fetal and social life in Washington
owing to the deaths in the cabinet
circle. Sunday morning Secretary
Blaine's daughter died, and Mon
day morning Secretary Tracy's
residence was destroyed by fire, the
lives of his wife and daughter lost,
himself brought out in an uncon-
scious condition by the fremen.
The funeral of Mrs. and Miss Tracy
was held in the East room at the
White House on Wednesday, and
a more affecting scene has never
been Witnessed here.
Representative Mutchler, of
Pennsylvania, who is one of the
shrewdest Democrats in the House,
says: Reeds rulings have made
it a certainty that the Democrats
will have good working maj ority
in the next House"
The United States supreme court
has decided that the test oath clause
in the constitution of Idaho is con-
stitutional.
Another re-rated pension Office
official First deputy commissions
er Hiram Smith-has gone. When
asked for his resignation he sent it
in thereby secured an extra months
pay, the resignation being accept
ed to take effect March 5, and he
has been given leave of absence
to that date. He was appointed
last May.
Considerable excitement was Gre
ated Wednesday by the news that
ex-Speaker Randall was getting
much worse. Mr.. Randall has
been so deeply interested in the
fight in the House that he has over
tasked his brain thinking of it in
order to make suggestions to the
Democratic leaders, and it had
bad effect on his health.
A bill has been introduced in the |
Senate to admit New Mexico. An
was made to have the SEN |
ate pass the bill providing for the J
of Oklahoma Terri |
tory this week, but it failed, not
because of opposition, but because
precedence was claimed for the
Blair educational bill.

vestigation was resumed this week. |

Sweet Home Is the place where the
young people have come TO the conclu-
sion that living the life Of an old bach
esor or that of an old maid Is not the
most pleasant way to drift down the
tide of life; so they are taking the more
sensible plan, viz: marrying. On the

have found some crude petroleum
down Ames creek and have sent a.

prospect for gas. Elder Shea saws
/ there are plenty of men In Lebanon
who are experts OH gas.
A company left Sweet Home yester-
I day for Whitcomb, n postoffice I'm the

AN ADVANCE STEP.

An enthusiastic meeting was held at
the c. P. church on last Sunday at
P. NJ. The meeting was open to men
only, and the object was to consider
how best to conserve the morals of the
town, to promote law and order, to
preserve The sanctity of the Sabbath,
and to secure united action with a view
to elevating the standard of morals in
our town Not that Lebanon is worse
in this regard than other towns, but
believing that a wholesome regard for
all that is pure and manly and en-
nobling is for the best interests of a
community, our citizens have been
prompted to take this advance step.
Aside from the church and every the
illogical system, the moral element has
always determined the true value of
civilization; vice has meant danger,
virtue has meant safety. Connivance
at iniquity is an affront to the spirit of
virtue, and is equivalent to opening
the fiood-gates and liberating torrents
of crime. The case is one that appeals
not TO benevolence, not to philosophy,
but strictly to the moral sense. If the
insane idea which some entertain of
allowing vice and iniquity to go un-
checked, and wickedness and crime to
go untrammeled, were seriously pro-
posed, all good men would at once
combine. .tIn times of peace prepare
for war; Let everybody attend the
meeting next Sunday at 4 P. NJ, and
thus escape the humiliation of trusting
to feebler hands-the female sex-a
duty which properly belongs to man
hood.

Let me tell you right now, young
man, that about the time you conelufe
that your s'denrest'' Is the embodiment
Of perfection. goodness and sweetness
lncarnate. and you are daily expecting
an angelic pair of wings TO Rermlnnte,
that you are the smartest man that
was ever made. This Is very COM
mon concelt among young meu who
suffer with heart disorder; and we nlay
add right here that In MI affection of
this kind the brain liz apt TO be I'M
volyed. II she be the right Kind If
girl she will think as you wish; not
because you are really as knowing as
you pretend to he, or even half as
much, but because the female sex has
been endowed with large hearts. and
with the heart they cannot help be-
lievlng the best about you. Woe he
unto you, my boy, II you try TO make
her believe you are g%eaier than you
are; you will find II to be about the
most stupid blunder lover ever com
mitted. Women are generally nc-
counted poor judges of human nature,
aud we believe it, else some of is luck y
position Ia their affections. but there
Is one fellow they can detect almost at
sight; the fellow known as n blower.
II you huve any doubts ON this subject,
Just take out calling with YOU some
young man who likes 10 talk about
HIMSELF aud the next time you see
your girl she will tell you something
which II Is pity she could not tell the
other fellow. Don't imagine for a mo-
nient that other people are going To see
you through your own eyes; people are
not made that way by nature, and
they won't change even If you happen
TO be In love with them. Even chill
dren are quick 10 turn up their noses
nj fellow that talks too much about
himself. Did you never hear six
year-old say of some man, Don't lie
think he Is smaft?'' III your girl has q
little brother or sister, your coartship
won't be helped Il bit by such remark.
Besides, probably she has Bible and
has read the verse: "Seest thou man
wise In his own conceit? There is more
hope of fool than of him. Girls
like TO read everything that Il printed
i'm the Bible for II.
There are young men who seem e.
think that courtship don't amount G.
anything until kisses and hIgs begin,
but II you are one of them. Just tone
up your ideas little. Don't imagine
that your girl Is challenging you "a
hug and kiss her just because SHE hap
pens to look at YOU rogulshly occasion
ally. Perhaps you are your girls sn'
perlor In some respects. but If you cant
feel that the girl you love Is vastly
your superior I'm purity, delicacy and
Innocence, yon would better Withdraw
