From an Exchanged
Don't hitch me to an iron post or rail-
ing when the mercury is below freezing

Don't hitch me in my stall at night
with big cob right where l must lie
down. l am tied and can't select a
smooth place.
Don't compel me to eat more salt than
l want by mixing it with my oats. l

much 1 need.
Don't think because l go free under

would move up if under the whip.
Don't think because am horse that

Don't whip me when 1 get frightened

Don't trot me up hill, for l have to
carry you and the buggy and myself too.
Try it yourself some time. Run up hill
with big load.
Don't keep my stable very dark, for
when l go out into the light my eyes are
injured, especially if snow is on the

Don't say whoa, unless you mean it.
Teach me to stop at that word. 1t may
check me if the lines break and save a

Don't make me drink ice-cold water
nor put frosty bit in my mouth. Warm
the bit by holding it half a minute against

Don't forget to file my teeth when they

Don't put on my blind bride so that il
irritates my eye, or so leave my forelock
that it will be in my eyes.

a Woman Turrcd.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. Mrs
Cavender, Of Newaygo, is confined to
her bed, the result of an application of
tar and feathers by two jealous
wives. Eugene Cayender, her husband,
died few weeks ago, leaving his widow
$4,000 life insurance and considerable
other property. Soon after his death
she began to drink. She frequented the
saloons kept by John Surplus and John
Bailey. and her inheritance was rapidly
going into the gin mill. Her intimacy
with the saloonists aroused the jealousy
of their wives. The two women, accom-
panied by few of their male relatives,
went to the house where Mrs. Cavender
lives with her young daughter. and
knocked for admission. Mrs. Cavender
refused to let them in. The women
smashed window and effected an en-
trance and then pounced on the widow.
They choked and beat her and then
poured pail of tar handed in by the
men over her. They next ripped open
feather bed, rolled Mrs. Cavender il
and departed. The women were recog
nized, and as soon as the widow is able
to leave her bed she will commence sui
against them 10 recover damages.

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Sept. 2.-Tne
Agnes Baldwin case will soon come up
for trial again, and some new evidence
will be presented. 1t will be remem-
bered the theory OF the defense was that
the murder was provoked by forme,
abuse and threats by the murdered man
against Agnes Baldwin. 1t is claimed
that undisputable evidence has now
been secured to back up this claim
The defendants mind is feeble and
many things she occasionally recalls of
aid in her defense. She says that at
one time the murdered man struck at
her with butcher knife, cutting her
limb severely; she feinted; he thought
she was dead, piling up brush ON the
body, set fire to it. The burning
brought her to consciousness and she
succeeded in crawling out OF the flames.
1t was doubted if she could prove that
this occurred, but Judge Cochrane says
the proofs are undisputable and her
body still shows how horribly she was
burned. Some interest is manifested
as to how this proof will be
presented to the jury. Competent ply
sicians will probably be asked to testify
to- the facts,

WASHINGTON, Sept. There is
rumor that The Sioux Falls Press,
owned by Caldwell & Bliss. and SO we'll
known, is about to be sold. The i'm
preston is that home syndicate COM
posed of such we'll known men as Petit
grew, Postmaster Campbell, State Sem
ator Kittridge and others who control,
but a more reliable report is that Ohio
men have concluded to take it,
the price being the sum of $4,000,
which is considerably under what it ever
has been held at before The latter is
said by some to mean that Perry s.
Heath, the we'll known Washington cor
respondent, will be its editor. 1t is
known the paper has been
for sale for some time The
reason is that since the death of its
business man, w. 81. D. Bliss, the busi-
ness management has devolved more or
less upon Editor Caldwell, and being
unable to cope with it satisfactorily, he
proposes to end it by disposing of the
paper altogether. When seen today
Perry Heath said he was not going to
Sioux Falls to edit The Press. He
further stated that Senator Pettigrew
has no interest in that paper. The
Press, he says, has been purchased by
two friends of his in Ohio and they will
assume control Sept. TO-

Sensation in the Duyi. will Case.

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. /. - Today's
court proceedings in the famous Davis
will case was of more than ordinary in.
terest and formed a subject of consider
able comment. Proponent John A.
Davis was on the stand, also
A. j. Davis of the First National
Bank, nephew of the late A. J. Davis,
who testified that the signature
of the alleged will was genuine. By
mutual agreement counsel for the pro.
poneut and contestants, with consent of
the court, practical test Of ink took
place in the presence of the court and
the jury only. A letter in the body
of the will and one letter in each of the
signatures of the attesting witnesses,
together with portion of the scroll line
under the signature of the late A. j.
Davis, We're subjected to test Con-
testants Henry Davis. David N.
Carvalho, David II. Ames of New York
and W. M. L. Hazen of Troy, N. Y, have
been testifying and claiming the will
was written with nigrine ink. which
was not known or manufactured until
many years subsequent to the date on
which the instrument was executed
They also claim that the signature of
Sconce, the only living witness to the
will, was written with iron ink. The
tests today were conducted by b. l..
Tilman, of Chicago, for the contestants
while FL. b Hayes, of Boston. late s1-
perintendent of tests of the Union Pa
ctic railway, represented the propon-
ents. About an hour was consumed in
making tests and taking the testimony
OF the experts as to the result
The tests showed conclusively and
TO the satisfaction of the contestants
that the evidence given by Hodges sew
cral days since that not only the body of
the will, but that all of the signatures
were written with logwood ink, which
has been in use for period OF forty
Years. That opinion was confirmed to-
day by chemical analysis. and the re-
suit has caused somewhat of sensation.
The court will present the case to the
jury in few days, and it is expected
the result will be known about the
seventh instant.

The Grading Decision.

BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 2.-The opin-
ion regarding the constitutionality of
the elevator laws was rendered by At.
torney General Spencer last night, but
all efforts to ascertain its purport have
been in vain. The Egyptian sphynx is
more communicative than the board of
railroad commissioners or the attorney
general. All concerned have agreed not
to make public at this time anything
about it. The board would lot deny
that they would enforce the provisions
of the law, and this gives credence to
the theory that the opinion was in favor
of the law. Commissioner Slotten and
the attorney general say the Minneapo.
lis papers misrepresent them SO much
that no dependence can be placed in
what is published, and they all think il
for the best interests of the state to re-
main silent at present.

A Golden Anniversary

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 1.-St. Louis Lodge
No. S, l. o. o. f.. has celebrated its
golden anniversary by grand enter
tainment at Entertainment Hall. This
lodge was organized on Aug. 81. 1s41,
by Grand Master Cathcart, and was the
fourth lodge of the order in the city.
At present there are none of the charter
members living. Gerard B. Allen,
whose death occurred few years ago,
was the last surviving charter member.
Since the formation of the lodge it has
admitted to membership over 1000
persons. 1t has expended over $50. 900
more money than it's receipts, most of
which excess was derived from interest
on moneys loaned out. The lodge is
one of the wealthiest 1. o. o. F. lodges
in the United States. 1t owns third
of the stock in the Odd Fellows build
ing, which is valued at $1,000 900.
Aside from this it has about $4,000 in
securities bearing interest. At the en-
tertainment the large hall was filed to
overhowing, and many persons were
turned away, being unable to secure
seats. The audience was composed
largely OF the fashionable people of the
city.
