THRUSH In HORSES
Factors Extremely Conducive to Foo
and Hoof Diseaseg

anu Hoof Diseases.
To horse owners who desire to have
their horses feet filed with the loath-
some, foot-wrecking disease known as
thrush. we can say that the mud and
filth which can be found at this time of
the year in so many yards and stalls
where horses are kept are factors ex-
tremely conducive to that condition.
If owners would stop to consider that
no other disease is responsible for half
so many deformed and narrow-heeled
feet as thrush; that no other disease is
half so frequently found in the horses
foot, and, withal. that no other disease
is as easily prevented, and. in its earl
Ter stages. cured, as this, they would
certainly be more active in adopting
preventive measures against its on
slaughtS Their are some feet so
healthy and sound that it would seem
no amount of exposure to mud and
filth. and even actual contagion, could
develop the disc ase, but the average
foot has a tendency to contract the
malady if the conditions are particular
ly favorable.
Animals which are taken from the
locality to another and. in consequence
of imperfect acclimatization. found to
be in state of health somewhat be-
low ordinary condition, are particular
" prone to the contraction of thrush;
in fact, the lowering of the health
status from any cause whatsoever is a
marked predisponent to this condition.
The prevention consists in reducing
the unfavorable conditions to which
the animal is exposed to the mini
mum. by hooking out the feet twice
day at least, and if suspicion of the
disease is found, in putting a few
spoonfuls of ten per cent. solution of
chloride of zinc into the cleft and inter-
spaces of the frog and bars two or
times at intervals OF two or three days.
As it is almost impossible to cure
thrush in an animal that is not in a
state of health it follows that both in
the prevention and treatment of the
disease, a consideration of the general
health is a matter of primest impor-
tance. after which cleanliness becomes
the next greatest essential -Clark's

Carbonic Acid Gas.

The growing vegetable world
breathes earbonic acid gas through its
leaves, using the carbon to build up its
structure, setting oxygen free for the
use of the animal world. which inter
change is constantly going on. The
carbon so appropriated is found in the
ashes of plants after combustion, COM
bined with lime or some other min
eral, but the large proportion is again
driven off during the combustion, in
which process it is again united to
oxygen in the shape of cartonic acid

CORRECTING AN ERROR.
Some OF the Things That Helped to De
feat the Republicans.

tue HAepuDilcdns
1t is not surprising that Benjamin
Harrison, the republican party and the
republican policy tariff were de-
feated, last month, when one observes
| the mass of misinformation regarding
the actual results of the Mckinley
law, which has been presented to the
people through the columns of the
democratic press. Even in high quar-
tiers, where partisanship should be
avoided. the sentiment of blind and I'M
reasoning opposition to the existing
tariff is allowed to find expression and
influence the Judgment and action of
responsible men.
The Wall Street Stakeholder, one
of the two leading dailies of that great
financial center, which is published for
the instruction and guidance of in
vestors and spectators. and should for
this reason. if no other, exhibit con-
servatism and endeavor at least to ap-
proximate the truth, is guilty of this
glaring inaccuracy:
-Four years ago. the surplus in the United
States treasury was so large that one of the
main political issues OF that time was as to how
il could be reduced. Now. after four years.

Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster declares that there is at present

that at the end of the present fiscal

1s93-there will be surplus of about
$50. coo. 600.
On that point, perhaps, Charles Eos

any other man of whom we know. As

THE PLEDGED DEMOCRACY.
Ominous Outlook for American In
dustries.

Mr. Cleveland and the democratic
party are distinctly pledged to two
things. In the recent campaign they
insisted that the common people were
not receiving their just share of the
general prosperity. that the tendency
OF the protective system was to enrich
the few at the expense of the many,
and they promised that if given power
such a policy would be instituted as
would enable every man to earn more
:han he has earned hitherto, and give
10 the money thus earned greater
purchasing power in obtaining the
necessaries and comforts of life. This
pledge was deliberately made, and the

Extremely literal people will not al
low even poets to deviate from the
truth without a protest. Soon after
the publication of one of Tennyson's
poems, the laureate received q sugges-

A RADICAL CHANGE
IN THE POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF TIE
WATER WORKS
The Board Meets, Elects Superintendent Secretary
and Two AsSsSsOrs-Ons Democratic
Official is Retained.

The new Water board heid meeIlns
yesterday afternoon at three o'clock.
All OF the members were present.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of organizing and filing the offices with
In the gift Of the Board. None OF the
candidates were about the Office OF
the Board, but some surprise was
manifested when the result OF the
meeting was known about town.
The first business was the selection
of President. Mr.. Henry Jones, who
was slated for this position, was
chosen without any opposition. For
the position of Secretary, there was but
one applicant considered, John r.
Shellhase. The names Of all the asplr-
ants were read by the clerk, and Mr..
Shellhase was elected. The salary
attached to the position OF Secretary
is 81, 400 per year. Mr.. Shellhase is at
present assistant postmaster. He VIII
assume charge OF his new office On
May 1st.
For the assessorships, there were a
large number of applicants. For the
district north Of the creek, Charles A
Reed was chosen, and Martin Flynn was
elected for the position south OF the
creek. The selection Of Mr. Flynn was
a surprise to everybody including him
self, as he is q Democrat and the pres
ent incumbent. 1t appears that Coun-
Gilman Filan yesterday called upon Mr..
A. C. L. Ebeling, a member OF the
Board, and urged the retention or Mr..
Flynn, in return for his vote in Council,
which secured the election Of Mr.. Eo-
cling as a member of the Board. he
secured Mr.. Ebellng's promise, and ad-
vised Mr.. Flynn to make application Tor
the place. Mr.. Flynn's application
was not filed, until about an hour be-
fore the meeting of the Board. The
salary of Assessors is $3.50 per year.
For the position Of superintendent OF
the water works, plum which pays
81, 500 year, there were a number OF
candidates. The name of Mr.. Geo. M.
Varney was On the slate prepared by
the Republican members Of the Board,
and he was elected without opposition.
Mr.. Varney is the engineer at the
I
Riverside tube works in Benwood and
is a thoroughly competent man for the
place. The Office of Superintendent OF
the Water Works is the most important
position in that department Of the
municipal government. He makes
about twenty appointments, including
five laborers, two machinists and four
firemen. All of the names must be
submitted to the Board for approval.
The Board did not elect an inspector,
and it is probable that Mr.. George Cum
Minis. the present official, will be retain
ed. This is not bonded office. The
SUPERINTENDENT is required to furnish
bond in the sum OF $4,000; the secretary
500, 900, and the assessors $4,000 each.
The Board and the Committee on
Water Works, of the City Council, are
called to meet in joint session tonight
to prepare the financial estimates for
the ensuing year. The names selected
by the Board yesterday will be submit
ted to Council at its regular meeting
! pavt TneSdav night for approval.
