Inside a Prison Cell.

There is a popular idea current that
convict's cell is in all things a for.
bidding place-cold cherries, and
desoIate. The changing of closing
grated doors and the click of iron
locks are not pleasant sounds to hear,
and liberty is always sweet, and
the loss of freedom is always a pun
ishment-doubly severe with the
thought that confinement is COM
pulsory, says recent visitor to the
Missouri Fenitentiary. But dissociate
from those cells the mental pain
which results from Imprisonment, and
you must recognize that many poor
and honest men sleep in humber. less
comfortable, and less pretentious
rooms
Cell SO Is fair illustration of the
furnishings OF other cellroOms. In
this one there are eleven photographs,
chromos, and steel engravings framed
and hanging on the walls There are
fifteen books of var Gus kinds, a slate,
papers, clock, looking glass, four
stools, water pail. wash pan, spit
toon, broom, towels, Bible, and leep-
ing hunks
Cell 81, the 'parlor" of the cell
house, is frescoed from top to bot
tom, the walls being nicely decorated,
and besides the comforts which ap.

FLOODED Stock,

There Is no question that the per-
son who first introduces blooded
stock into an old, settled farming
community is public benefactor.
The introduccrs reap financial ben
eft therefrom, provided they manage
the work on a strictly business basis.
The public know that they have such
stock, and If male, that the SER
vices may lie obtained at not too high
charge. The charges for a ram
may be 81; for bull about IS, and for
stallion from $l5 to $50, or, in most
cases, just about twice the ruling
terms for common stock, remember
ing that pure bloods and a reliable
pedigree have much to do with the
business. With sheep, swine, and
cattle, it is best to obtain one of
each SEX. This will not only enable
you to increase your stock of pure
blOods, but gives others an opportun.
ity to see them. Usually, by CORE
spending with several breeders of the
stock you wish to obtain, better
terms can be obtained than by only
consulting one breeder. At least you
will be better posted regarding the
prices, ana IL you are able to examine
the stock before purchasing, so much
the better for you and the seller, as
then no cause for dissatisfaction
should result Agricultur-

A horses teeth need as much at
tentson as any other part OF his body.
The recognition OF this fact is of q
very recent date, but all now ad-
NIT the truth. At from two to three
years OF age a colt begins to change
his teeth, and at the age of five years
he Is provided with his full set A
horse has forty teeth and q mare
thirty-six. The difference is in the
canine, or as they are sometimes
called, bride teeth. which seldom
appear in mare. A horses molars
are the organs of masticatiOn and
have harder work to perform than
the incisOrs. The result is that they
get worn down SO that the animal
cannot eat. When a horse gets thin
and refuses his food it is a good plan
to have his mouth examined to see If
this is not the case with him. Fill
ing the teeth which have worn down
will give immediate relief and the
animal will soon pick up again. Ul-
cerated teeth are quite common
among horses The breath has bad
smell, and perhaps there ia a swell
ing OF the cheek and tongue. These
symptoms should lead to an immedi-
ate examination of the mouth. The
treatment of such cases is as neces.
sary to the well-being of the animal
as it is for human being. Many
young horses have been reduced to a
skeleton and died from the ignorance
OF their owners as to the cause of the
malady. The teeth Of horse can be
filled so that it is not necessary to re.
move the offending tooth. In the
case OF the back teeth this is a very
troublesome task. Amalgam and
bone are the substances generally
used for filling. Wolf teeth are USE
less and should be extracted If they
become worn by the bit, The idea
that they affect the sight of the horse,
long ridiculed, has become an &C
knOwledged fact The explanation
Is that the nerves OF the wolf teeth
are connected with the facial nerves,
and pressure on the former reacts on
the latter so as to impair the eye

AIR CASTLES,

1built . fair air castle
In the dim long ago,
Upon 6ome distant island
" here skies were blue and low.
And where the glinting mooubeama
Were pure and white q snow.
thought it strong and stately.
And said, my castle stsnds
AZ nrm e the gray towers
In far OF olden lands,
where their fair terraced gardens
Are gernmed by golden sands"
Asain I said, The tempest
Win vainly beat around
The castle t IL and graceful
Upon the isle found,
For 1t Is built so steadfast
Upon the solid ground
Tho sunlight fell upon It,
And there it seemed to be
More fair, more graud and stately,
While far around the sea
6miled like . thing Of gladness,
From every sorrow tree.
The days went on, and fancy
Still twined its golden thread,
While warp aud wool together
a fa,fy garment made,
Which round my airy castle
by unseen hands was spread
I know not how IL happened.
But one dark, cloudy day,
Ny loved air castle vanished,
While all around me lay
The sea, DER which my lie boat
Was speeding fast away.
The island, too, had drifted
Beyond my longing view,
Even Its stately palm trees
Wero lost In the dim blue,
And was swiftly smiling
In waters rough and new.
Since then my eyes have never
The gay, swost island seen,
With its tall, gilded castle
And feAthery palm trees green,
Or the blue pulsing waters
Crowned with theiE wavy sheen.
Perhaps when wears have folded
Their silent wings TO rest,
When LIES dim sun is sinking
Down in the placid west.
The days will journey backward
That seemed Of life the best.
Perhaps. when angel fingers
Shall firmly clasp my hand,
TO lead me where no tempest
Oisturbs the peaceful land,
Toe castle that builded

To enter the shafts are going to work.
Strikers, however, are jubilant over

When it is necessary TO leave the

The sheriff has issued proclama-

Kansas and Texas property, warning
strikers that they will he punished for
tresrassing if they go on to the
grounds.
G. G. Clements and Noah Allen
talked to the strikers at a rousing meet
ing held last night. Clements told
the miners that the operators are
keeping stockades guarded contrary
to law and it is the duty of the sher-
lift to disperse men assembled there, as
an unlawful gathering. He told the
men they had a remedy in the courts
and he would help them. He advised
them to keep within the law and as
sured them the governor and his
friends are their friends. Allen told
the men to keep cool As they would
win by keeping public sentiment in
their favor.
The operators assert that the strike
is over. The hundred deputies assem-
bled here have been reduced to six at
the request of the operators.
Sheriff Arnold says he believes
there will he no further trouble.
Should there be, the men whom he
sent home are subject to his call at a

Clements is planning to bring a

alleged.

Many of THE BAzoO's democratic

of establishing a fixed medium of ex-

it is profered in payment Of its equiv

Cleveland in 1884, in 1888, in 1892,

AVOID PARTY HERESY.

General Weaver. the populist can
didate for president in 1892, is stroll.
ing over the country making speeches,
for which he is paid s25 per day and
expenses. He has invaded Missouri
and will speak at Boonville Monday
night. General Weaver's missionary
work is, of course, in the interest Of
the populist party and judging from
reports from places where he has adj
dressed the people, he is making the
most of the situation. In democratic
strongholds he advises the fusion OF
the democrats with the populi>ts and
in populistic vineyards he steadfastly
breaches the peoples party doctrine,
pure and simple, and excoriates the
democratic party in a manner that
SURPRISES the most rabid republican
demogogue. Members of the demo
cratic party should give no heed nor
aid to this renegade republican, green
hacker and all-round political trick
ster. He has boxed the political COM
pass many times and always from Il
selfish and dishonest motive. The
West is firmly democratic now,
and the greatest menace to the perpe-
tuity of the party strength
in the West Is the
incubation OF populistic doctrines
under the gui,e of that deceitful se-
ductive. fusion. Nothing has been
gained by fusion in Kansas, Colorado
nor Washington. 1t is case OF
whether you would rather be robbed
by sneak thief or by professional
highwayman. The latter you can
fortify against. hut the former perpe-
trates his crime under the cover of the
night, protesting friendship during the
day. While it is only in a small
measure responsible for them the
democratic party hides its face in
shame when it thinks of the part it
played in the elevation of I.ewelling,
Ponnoyer and Waite to gubernat"rial
chairs The democratic party can
win on its own sound fundamental
principles without STOPPING to caprice
or coveting selfish, anarchistic and
disreputable companionship.
