New Republican Ticket Decided ON ut q
Conference In New York.
New YORK, April 16.-Possibly the
most momentous conference held in
New York state since the presidential
campaign of 1883, says a morning paper3
was that which occurred at the home
of Cornelius N. Bliss. For a week it
had been known to a few Republican
politicians here in New York city that
Mr.. Bliss had sent out invitations for
the assembly, and the news become
common talk at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
MI. Bliss in his invitations announced
that he would like to meet the GENTLE
men invited at his home at 1880 o. m.
They were to come to dinner and they
were told that they were to come pre-
pared to discuss the national ticket for
the Republican party and to suggest
methods for a victorious outcome.
Among others present is said to have
been ex-senator Miller, and the con-
clusion is said to have been reached that
Harrison, if nominated, could not be
elected. The concensus of opinion as to
its conclusion is said to have been that
the strongest ticket for the coming cam
paign, barring Blaine, who it is thought
was disqualified by i'll health, would be
Mckinley, of Ohio, and the host of the
evening, Cornelius N. Bliss.

DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
Indiana DEN o crats Are for CleveJau
First and Gray Afterward.

Indiana Democrats Are for Cleveland
First and Gray Afterward.
INDIANAPOLIS, April l6.-At a meet
ing which lasted until long after mid
night, representatives of the Gray and
Cleveland elements discussed the situa-
ton in this state and ultimately reached
an agreement which will doubtless end
all the differences. It was apparent to
the Cleveland element that a majority
of the delegates to the state convention
would be favorable to Gray while
Gray's friends concede that MANY of
the district delegates would certainly be
against him. Under the circumstances
they conceded the fact that Gray's can
didacy would be weakened and the vote
of the state practically thrown away.
On the basis of agreement reached the
resolutions at the coming convention will
declare that tariff reform should be the
issue in the coming campaign and that
Cleveland is the logical candidate of the
party, but they also proclaim the un-
abated attachment of the Indiana De.
mocracy to Governor Gray, pronounc-
ing him worthy Of the highest honor in
the gift of the American people; in
structing the Indiana delegation to pre-
sent his name to the national convention
and in the event of Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination being deemed inexpedient
by the body, to use every honorable ef-
fort to secure Gray's nomination. It
was also agreed by the committee that
the delegates at large shall be Senator
VOORHEES,, Hugh Dougherty, of Bluff
ton, Charles L. Jewett, of New Albany,
and s. E. Morse, of this city.

A MUTINY.
Tennessee Militia Plan to XIII Two
Officers.

Tennessee Militia Plan to XIII Two
Officers.
CINCINNATI, O., April 14.-A Coal
Creek. Tenn, special says: Mutiny is
the latest thing in the camps of the
Army of Tennessee, stationed on the
mountain overlooking the convict stock
ade and works of the Knoxville Iron
company at this place. Twelve privates
have been holding a little secret meet
ing and they formed a clique called
"The Dirty Dozen" with documents
drawn up swearing allegiance to one
another in an attempt to over
power the guards on last Saturday
night and hang two of the non-commis-
stoned officers, who it seems had won
the dislike of these rebels. One of the
men weakened and gave everything
away to the officers, and now eleven Of
the twelve are in chains, under heavy
guard, awaiting courtmartial.

PRISONERS NOT WORRIED.

Wyoming Cattlomen Think They Have
Money Enough to Buy Freedom.
BUFFALO, April 16.-The bodies of
Champion and Ray have been brought
into town and were viewed at the un-
dertaker's. The former has twenty
eight bullets in his body, while the re-
mains of Ray are unacceptable, the
legs and head being entirely consumed
by fire, leaving only the charred and
roasted trunk. On Champions person
was found a diary soaked with his
hearts blood, through the center of
which q bullet had torn it's resistless
way. Feeling that the game was up,
the outlaw had calmly jotted down in a
memorandum book the passing scenes
of the last hours of his life from the
time of the attack in the early morning
down to the moment the house was
fred. The sight of the bodies causes
the most intense feeling, but there is no
dangerous indications. The commu-
nifty has shown itself to be remarkable
for its patience and order. No trouble
is feared unless it is obvious that Justice
will be defeated. Tom Reese, who is
foreman of the Murphy Cattle company,
said that Fay Parker, one of the prison.
ers, who is manager Of that outfit, said
that the prisoners had no fears; that
they had any quantity of money and
could buy themselves out; that Parker
received aletter from a stranger offer
ing IS, 900 if needed. The prisoners ap-
pear neither sorry or worried about
their crimes.

QUALITY IN DRAFT HORSES,
1t Is Possible to Get Both Quality and
Quantity.

1t Is Possible to Get Both Quality and
Quantity.
Our correspondent wrote as one who
knew whereof he spoke when he de-
scribed the disastrous results from using
draft sires more distinguished for bulk
than quality. One cross of stump legged
sires squared up the form and gave
size." The second cross increased bulk,
but at the expense of wearing qualities
In some instances. But the third cross
brought with it all the ills of sboggy''
hooks, round spongy bone, upright an
kles and shelly feet. Night nc more
surely follows day than this result at
tends the use of rough legged, obese,
"beefy" draft sires. The Gazette has
not ceased to cry aloud against these
hulks of horsefesh set on post legs. To
that persistent laundering of weight!
weight!' it has answered, EQUALITY!
qualityf"
Granting the possible value Of the
first cross of bulk only on our small
boned, spindle shanked, light wasted
mares, it has warned against the %intensi-
fication of this coarse legged, short pas
termed blood by a second cross, and has
times almost without number declared
that quality should be the prime requi-
site. If associated with sufficient sub
stance, well and good, but with all their
getting it has uniformly advised Ameri-
can draft horse breeders to get under
standing. Stall feeding of stations
tends to soften tissues and cause degen-
eracy, but especially does it make it's
evil effects manifest in the condition of
the legs. The farmer who has secured
bulk in two or three crosses, at the ex-
pense of the tough hoofs and finty and
clean though light bone of his founda-
ton mares, may well claim indulgence
while ne meditates upon an outcross to
the light but sound legged sire.
Quality and size are not incompatible;
this much has been so thoroughly proved
that further discussion is idle. The draft
horse must have bulk, strength, weight
in the collar, but with it he needs
leverage, elasticity and wearing Joints.
Porous bone, meaty legs, "boggy" hooks
handicap horse and master. It is the
breeders province to substitute Ainty,
flat bone, clean limbs and bony hooks.
A hereditary tendency toward aabby
muscles, meaty legs, thick hooks and
STU joints is not value received for the
service fee. Careful selection of sound
sires with gun metal legs and clean,
timber joints, and judicious work to
harden the muscles, tougher the sinews
and oil the joints is what every owner
OF brood mares has a right to demand of
every stallioner. Quality first, bulk

Trouble Between Ranchmen
and Rustlers in Wyoming
at an End.
Stockmen Surrender to Troops
and Are Escorted to Fort
Mckinney.
A Large Number of Prominent Men
Among the Party Taken
Prisoners.

BUFFALO, Wy, April l4.-The stock
mems wal has taken another turn and
the leading authorities will now attempt
to settle the difficulty. Colonel Van
Horne with three troops of cavalry re-
ceived orders at midnight to march to
the scene of battle at once. About 8 q.
m. the sound of forward, march,"
rang out clear on the morning air, and
the blue coated troopers started out Of
the fort and galloped toward "a" ranch.
The distance was covered by daylight
and the commanding officer and Sheriff
Angus held a consultation. The sher-
if reported that he had ordered the
men to surrender but they had refused
and had opened fire on his men.
Colonel Van Horne found that the
rustlers, small stockmen and the sher-
ifs posse had completely surrounded
the ranch and cut off all means of es-
cape, so that the stockmen's forces were
entirely entrapped. However, the mil
Itary had no trouble in
AAuuSAAS A0 StoCAA40u Co Su~TxenO0fs
The only provision that was exacted
was that they should be taken to Fort
Mckinney and not be allowed to fall
into the hands of Angus OF his men or
the rustlers. To this Colonel Van
Horne consented and under the protec-
ton of the cavalry the stockmen's forces,
consisting of sixty-fve men, quickly
saddled and bridled their horses and
rode to Fort Mckinney, where they are
now confined under guard. The sher-
IFS posse and the forces of the rustlers
and small ranchers rode ahead to Buff
falo, or dispersed to their various farms.
Just what the next move will be cannot
be said. The stockmen will be pro-
tected by the United States troops until
Colonel Van Horne receives further or
ders from the commandant at Omaha.
The men will undoubtedly be turned
over to the state authorities to answer
to the crime Of killing Day and Cham
pion. The army officers as well as the
citizens of Buffalo are surprised to find
80 many prominent men among the
party.

VIENNA, April A.-A serious riot.
resulting in a conflict between the peo-
pie and the gendarmes, is reported from
Nachiod, a small manufacturing town
OF Bohemia, about nineteen miles from
koeniggratz. The factory operatives
struck, partly on account of gen.
eral i'll treatment and partly
on account Of a failure to raise
their wages. The strikers made q
demonstration, and the gendarmes at
length succeeded in scattering the mob.
but not until many on both sides were
disabled, and some severely injured.

One Kind of Economy.

We know that many farmers have q
settled rule not to sell an ounce of corn,
rye or oats, because they believe the
farm will suffer if these are sold as
grain. It: makes no difference to them
whether prices vary or not, they must
feed and not sell their w grain. If
they have to feed five pounds of corn
meal to make one pound Of salable pork,
it makes a difference of just about 2T
cents on each pound of pork, when the
price increases from nineteen dollars to
twenty-eight dollars per ton. Pork will
not increase in price over one cent per
pound, and a similar state of affairs is
found when we try to make milk or but
ter out Of high priced feeds.-Rural

A Florida Paymaster and a Mail Carrier
Killed for Their Money.
OCALA, Fla, April IL. "A telegram
just received here by the operator of
the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf road
says that two men were murdered near
fernando, Citrus county. Their names
are Robert Stevenson, paymaster of the
Empire State Phosphate company of
that place, and a Mr.. Payne, a mail a r
rier. They are said to have been MUIR
dered for their money, as Stevenson was
in Ocala during the day making up his
pay rolls and took back the money with
him to pay off the men, having drawn

The bodies were warm when found, the
money being missing.

Six Cent Reef Cattle.

Henry Wallace says in The Homestead:
'Long ago, when we went to school in a
log school house, chinked and daubed,
and sat ON a slab, turned bark side down
for a bench, and stood in awe of the birch
rods that lay on nails just above the
masters desk, it used to be a maxim
two times three are six and the half
OF six is three Applying this maxim,
it it be a true one (our readers will please
ask their children if it is taught in the
schools for truth now, to the cattle bust
ness, it would seem as if two cattle of a
given weight selling at three cents pei
pound would bring no more than n of
the same weight selling at six, and it
would therefore seem as if it would be
to the farmers interest to keep half the
number of cattle and sell only six cent
steers. If it should be still further dis
covered that a high grade steer would
make this weight in a year less time and
save a years keep, it would seem as if it
were utter folly to bother with a three
cent steer. If on still further investiga-
ton it should be found that this is posi-
BILE and is done by the best farmers year
after year, in what are known as the
blue grass sections of the west, while it
cannot be done on the range sections, it
would seem the highest mark of wisdom
to let the range people grow the three
cent steers and the blue grass people
grow only six cent. It depends mainly
on whether we were taught a lie in that
old school house or were taught the truth.
We say mainly, because Captain A. P.
Petrie, of New Windsor, Ills, writes us
as follows: 1T seems to me that if the
corn and blue grass belt of Illinois and
Iowa cannot make a SUCCESS of raising
good beef to supply the markets of the
world no other place need try. The diff
Guilty seems to be in getting the common
farmer to understand the difference be-
tween cattle that will bring six cents per
pound and those that bring three. They
certainly see the trouble, but will not
apply the remedy So, after all, the old
maxim may have been true, and is still
true, and the difficulty lies in the fact
that farmers do no not understand that
they can, if they will, grow the six cent
cattle by getting the right kind of blood,
thoroughbred sires all the time, and tax
ing the proper care of them. If this be
SO, then all hands to work to preach the
gospel of six cent cattle and produce it.
1t can be done, is done, and we can all
name the men that can do it and are
doing it. Letthe motto, Fewer cattle and
BETTER be written on every barndoor."

Number Of Lives Lost by High
Water In Mississippi Now

Over $50 Bodies Already Re-

Terrible Tales of Suffering Caused by

Water Subsiding.

ABERDEEN, Miss, April IA The
water in the Tombigbee river is subsid-
ing, leaving a black desolate waste.
Late reports which have reached here
indicate that the loss by the flood will
be greater than at first estimated. From
the most reliable information to be OBJ
tanned from the flooded district it is
known that the number of lives lost
will reach $50, while all vestige of
household property has been swept
away by the raging torrent. Relief
parties have been sent out and more
than $50 bodies have already been re-
covered. Thousands of people are rem
dered homeless and the suffering is in
tense. A relief party has rescued a
family of nine persons who had been
adrift on a raft for six day without .
mouthful of food.

One of the party, a lad of IA years, had

woman and her infant was found float
ing on a mattress. They had been
without food for three days and the
babe is 80 emaciated that it will die.
Her family of eight children were all
drowned. The loss of property is so
great that it cannot be accurately es-
timated at present. Thousands of head
Of cattle have persisted and the swamps
are strewn with The coun-

fore anything like a correct estimate of
the damage can be obtained.
