We are being literally supplied with popu
list literature by some kind friend who wishes
to reform us and show us the error Of our

fact that some OF the eastern populists declare
that they do not want silver or gold, but say
greenbacks are '.that only money" and some
OF our miners are kicking in consequence.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Ihe Pedagogues Of Kootenai County win
Meet at Rathdrnm

Meet at Rathdrum.
The annual teachers institnte for
Kootenai county is announced to be
held In the public school building at
Rathdrum from November 4 to No
vember 8, inclusive, and Superintend-
ent Melder is working hard at the
preliminaries. An interesting and
Instructive program has been ar
ranged, and nothing will be left un-
done to make the institute a success
and beneficial to the teachers.
Prof. w. B. Turner, ex-superin-
tendent of Spokane county, Wash,
has been engaged to conduct the ex-
ercises, and will be assisted in the
work by local teachers. Special rates
have been secured for visiting teachers
at the hotels. and everything will be
done to make. their visit to the coun-
ty seat a pleasant and agreeable one.
The program will appear 10 THE Sill
YER BLADE sometime between now
and the opening of the institute.
The school law Of Idaho makes it
obligatory on all teachers IN the coun-
ty to attend and take part in the ex-
ercises of the institute. In this re-
gard the law defines the duties of
teachers as follows:
'sIt is the duty Of all teachers en-
gagged in the county, and all persons
holding certificates, to attend such
Institutes and participate 10 the exer-
cises thereof, and all teachers who
may have charge of schools at the
time of holding the annual institute,
must adjourn their schools for the
time during which the institute is
held"
Another section of the school law
states that 'sany teachers certificate
may be revoked for neglect of duty
And still another provides that nc
teachers salary shall be stopped dur
ing the time their school is adjourned
on account of attendance at the in
Stitute.
Itiscustomary with superintendent
when grading certificates to take In
consideration the work done at the
institute. A large attendance is ex.
pected, and the result of holding the
institute should be highly gratifying.

New York HERALD.
The Herald recently told of
the upward movement in wages
all over the country daring the
month of April, and predicted
that the month of May would
show Il continued advance, and
prove that We had entered upon
an era of good Zines.
The month of May is just
over, and the story of the
industrial world is a story of
accelerated advances, of new
mills opened, old mills enlarged
and greater demands for labor
and materials on every side.
The truth of the matter is the
matter is the list Of wage al
vances is getting too long for
publication in an ordinary
newspaper. Advances have
been reported since April 1 in
more than zoo different mills,
factories ana mines. More than
10000 laborers are getting
better pay than ihey were get
ting two months ago.
iii this has occurred under
tariff law that was guaranteed
hy Mckinley to ruin American
industries and to pauperize
american labor.

SHANGHAI MARY.
TGrimn in Turf, Field and Farm


Mr.. Randolph Huntington was very
familiar with Shanghai Mary when the
mare was in Western New York, aud
writes to this paper a long letter called
out by the recent communication in this
department from Mr.. Charles ii. Shep-
ard. | regret that lack of space fOrbids
Its publication entire. Mr.. Huntington
states that it was in the autumn of 1850
that the dam of Green Mountain Maid
arrived at Livonia, N. Y, she being then
in her four-year-old form, and in the
spring of 1851 she had a filly foal, size
unknown who was purchased with the
dam by Mr.. Charles Shepard in 1852 for
S75. This tily was named Fanuel, and
the bulk of Mr.. Huntington's commune
were quite numerous, but none of which
became prominent. In regard to Shang
hal Mary, he says she twas veritable
horse devil in temper. She was not
thoroughbred, for there was no run in
her beyond u gallop, and she was poor
walker. She was willful and stubborn,
and when she started to trot she would
do so from spite. From her color
and vicious temper, | should say, if
guessing solved the problem, that she
was by old Abdallah. We are now told
by some groper in the dark that she was
a Cadmus mare. Cadmus never got so
mean piece of horsefesh." In the I'M
published parts of his letter, Mr.. Hun
tlngtOn attributes all the meanness of
the descendants of Shanghai Mary to
herself, and hence seems to be a bit in
consistent in the last remark | quote
from him about Cadmus, as this deViltry
in Green Mountain Maids dam might
have been bequeathed to her, not by
Cadmus, but by some maternal ancestor,
just as she transmitted her own bad
qualities.

TO HEAL SPRAINS.

1t seems as II the old system of heal
ing sprains of the horses limbs Is DOOM
ed. lamentations, hot or cold, and the
cruel operation of firing are giving way
to successful treatment by dry binding
and massage. We referred few weeks
ago to the treatment adopted by Capt.
Horace Hayes. At a recent meeting of
the Royal Counties Veterinary Medical
association MIR. William Hunting, presi-
dent of the Royal college OF Veterinary
Surgeons, said when sprains occurred
he had the leg wrapped in dry cotton
wool and bound in linen bandage with
as much pressure as could reasonably be
put on. Orders were left that at night
an ordinary flannel bandage should be
substituted for the linen one. This he
recommended as flannel was more elias
tic than linen and that sometimes ban
dage might be put on too tight and the
man in charge might notice It's injurious
effects in daytime, but would not watch
it at night. lie also recommended gen
tie walking exercise daily. the horse be-
ing led and not ridden, aud commencing
with half an hour daily. The massage
should be performed when changing
bandages by handwriting in the direc-
ton of the hair. The more the swell
Ing the less rapid the repair of tissue.
He believed they could prevent the in
crease of swelling in an early sprain by
firm pressure, provided that the pressure
was equalized and thoroughly distribut-
ed by the use of cottonwood under the
bandage. The advantage of dry cotton
wool an inch or an inch and a half
thick was that it absolutely equalized
the pressure throughout the whole ban
dage.- London Live Stock Journal.

THE SCARE OVER.
Horse Observation-Disclosures

The figures on the young things sold
at the recent Lexington sale may prove
ins tructive at least to the extent of Civ
ing breeders an idea of what likely colts
bring at auction in mid-wlnter. In what
follows no account is taken of those
which sold for less than $500
Twelve yearlings sold at an average of
$270.S3, the highest price being $5l5.
Twelve wo-year-olds sold at an aver
age of S595.S3, the highest price being
Sl575.
Twenty three-year Odds sold at an aver
age of $S935O. This was brought about
through the prices of 5000 and $1,000,
paid for Scourine and Bermuda Girl,
espectively.
Thrteen1 four-year-olds sold at an
average of SG4l'l5, the highest price
$500, paid for the excellent campaigner
Futurity, the next, $1,000, for Baron Crisp
2:24.
These fifty-seven colts brought an
average of 5000. Breeders can take into
con sideration the general financial con
dtion of the country, and decide for
themselves whether it pays to raise mar
ketable colts and dispose of them at that
price.
OF the sale in general, the only COM
ment admissible is that it was a sue
cessful one. Three hundred and seven
ty-One head, all kinds, of which great
many must have been of necessity not
exactly first-class, sold at an average
price of.S2S3. Speed, where combined
with quality, was in demand, and while
it may be claimed that many of the hors-
es were worth more than they brought,
we are not yet well along on the high
road to the general prosperity which
must follow soon the era of depression
and tine sale certainly marks the begin
ming of the end of the worst period in
the recent history of the nation.
We expect the coming New York sales
to develop additional evidence that the
scare is over.

TRIALS OE A BREEDER.
JOSEPH BATTELL.
Middleburv, Vt.

An incident which occurred at Park
vile farm, in Brooklyn, a few days ago.
illustrates the ups and downs of the trot-
ting-horse market, as well as the annoy
ances which the owner of "A big breeding
farm is subject to. says the New York
Sun of February Z. In 1893 one Nathan
iel Leonard, Richmond, Va, sent a
brood-mare to Parkville for the purpose
of raising colt from Regal wilkes,
2:11a, the fast son of Guy Wilkes, for
whom John II. Shuts had recently PAID
$4,000. The mare was said to be full
sister to Iona Guflin, , :235, by Blue
Bull. She had been kept at the farm a
full year without producing anything.
Superintendent Shuet sent her owner
bill for keep, and kept on sending bills,
to which no attention was paid. AS the
mare was very old, and had to be fed on
ground oats and chopped feed. the cost
of keeping her was considerable, and
Shuet wished to get her off his hands.
How to do so was "A puzzling question,
however. He could not sell or give her
away, or turn her off the place, for fear
the owner in Virginia might put fancy
price on the old mare and sue for dam
ages. One day she was taken violently
i'll with the collie and Shuet thought
Providence had solved the problem fer
him. He sent for DR.. Sheppard, at
Sheepshead Bay, so that no charge of
neglect could be made, thus adding
another item to the old mares board bill.
Much to his disappointment, the mare
pulled through, and within a few days
she had started in to eat her head of for
the second or third time. The doctor
having failed him, Shuet consulted law
yer, and, after few months more, sue
ceeded in getting Judgment against
Leonard for S325l6, which included the
stud fee of 500, bill of $l9l for keep
and court costs amounting to S34l6.
Last week one of Sheriff Buttling's
deputies put in an appearance at the
farm and offered the old mare at public
sale to satisfy this Judgment, together
with his own costs, amounting to $50
more. Trainer NJ. =. Devy was the first
man that made a bid, and he got the
daughter of Blue Bull for 81. The same
afternoon. Devy sold her to John Dris-
coll for SIS. and Driscoll, after keeping
her an hour or two between feeds,
passed her on to DR.. j. NJ. Bishop for
an advance of 81. Bishop Immediately
proceeded to rattle the mare, selling
twelve tickets at 81 each to the group
of trainers in Driscolls office. j. w.
Knox, the man who owned Nutwood in
California. and who bred the dams of
Arion, , :073, and Flying Jib, 2:04, threw
forty-fve out of possible fifty-four
with the dice early III the game, and
sold his chance for $40 to John Dris-
coll. The throw won, and Driscoll
again owned the mare. He kept her
over Sunday, raised the price to $25, and
sold her early Monday morning to a
market gardener down the boulevard.
