Examine the feet of the horses often
If the shoes are inside the rim of the
foot, take that horse to the shop al
once or you will have a corn.
Clean the feet out thoroughly with g
foot hook every day when the horses
! come in from work. Then when the
horse is cool put the feet in a pail OF
water and wash them. It will only
| take q few minutes and will keep the
feet in good condition. >
Give the work horses a run in the
pasture at night. 1t will do them a
great deal of good, but you must feed
them just the same. If you expect
them to work don't take the grain away
from them.
Sharp teeth will cause the horse to
form the habit of letting it's tongue
hang out of it's mouth. Look out for
them.
Do the flies bother the colts very
much? Better keep them in during
the day and put them out in the pas
ture at night.
Colts should be castrated when they
become troublesome. If a colt has a
light neck it is we'll to leave it a stallion
as long as possible, as it will grow a
better neck in consequence.
Give the mare plenty of wheat bran
as we'll as the colt, and you,wilI grow
the colt with strong bone and joints.
Are the managers perfectly clean, or
is there a lot of sour, musty stuff IN the
bottom and corners?
The managers should be kept as clean
as your own plate. Did you ever think
of that7
The cruel fashion of docking the tails
of horses is on the wane. False tails
are being manufactured in New York
City, and are attached to the crupper
in such a way that it is difficult to dis,
tinguish them from the natural tail.
The harness is often a source of SUI.
fering to the horse these hot and dusty
days. Look carefully after its adjust
ment day by day and give the horse all
the liberty and comfort possible. In
doing this, however, it is not best tt
leave the harness saddle soloose that it
plays up and down on his back. Tnis

II never let my horse out, for he al
ways rolls and gets his coat full of dirt.
This hurts his appearance and makes
me harder work to groom him." Here
is a big bluuder. First, every horse
ought to be given opportunity to roll
daily. He will keep we'll on less food
and not bite and rub his coat or blanket
to its detriment. Second, he will be
easier instead of harder to groom, the
dust and earth he grinds into the coat
taking out grease and dandruff and
making it cleaner and healthier. The
horses appearance is improved, not in
jured, by rolling, and the groom's work
lightened and at the same time made

several respects, one of the most re
markable in the State, or, perhaps, in
the United States. Fourteen children.
four sons and ten daughters were born

were raised, married in turn and bore
children, and are still living. Thew

HOW THE soUTHIs KEPT SOLID.
Raleigh, N @.

How the Democratic party main
tains political power and control in the
South is partly evidenced by the fol
lowing extract from the presentments
of a minority of the Grand Jury of
Calhoun county, Alabama.
ITO Judge Geo. E. Brewer: We the
undersigned members of the Grand
Jury, sworn and empaneled at the
present term of the court to inquire
into all indictable offAnses and true
presentments made, beg leave to report
as follows: We have in obedience to
the instructions of your Honor, in
vestigeted and inquired into all in
dictable ofenses as far as in u power
lay, and have true presenTments made.
In reference to the special charge,
given by your Honor, for the Grand
Jury to inquire into the frauds in the
elections in this county, we beg to re-
port that a ma ority of the body refused
to comply with the law and the charge
your Honor gave, and by a vote, re
fused to investigate the charge of fraud
in elections, and declined to have or
permit evidence to reproduced, touch
ing such frauds, and the undersigned,
being a minority of said body, were
powerless, and could not comply with
the charge given us by your Honor.
Witnesses were in Jacksonville and
many others could have been secured,
and the Grand Jury were furnished
with the names of some seventy five
witnesses who, we were informed,
knew facts sufficient to have authorized
indictments, but we were not allowed
by the majority tohave these witnesses
sent for and examined. We desire to
thank your Honor for the lucid charge
given, and regret that we could not
comply with the instructions given.
Having discharged our duties as fully
as possible under the circumstances,
we ask to be discharged.

SALOON MEN POOR.
Mayor Prntt's Call for PrOmD,
Licenses Criticized

The statement of Mayor Pratt
made in these columns several days
since, to the effect he proposed to
require the saloon men to take ont
their licenses very promptly this
summer, has caused a good deal of
uneaslness among those Indirectly
interested in the matter. The NAV
or's language leads to the conclusion
that While the peculiarly unfayor-
able financial condition which pre-
vailed last year and the year before

predecessor, eX-Mayor Eustis. in all
lowing some Of the saloon men a lit
tie extra time in which to get their
license money together, he believes
the general business conditions this
year are so much improved that the
usual course should be pursued in
regard to the issuance of licenses
The saloon men say that while they
were hard up" last year, and per-
hapS more SO the year before. when
many of them got caught in the
railing banks, they are in worse
straights this year than ever. They
admit that business shows signs of
Improvement, but what little improve

past month or so has not visibly eff

companies are especially interested
in the matter. 1t is probable thai
nearly 100 of the saloon licenses TAX

| the brewing companies. The Min
neapolis Brewing company alone as
sumed responsibility for over fifty OF
| these licenses, and all the outside
| breweries having agencies in Min
neapolis were burdened with some
responsibility in this direction. There
has been a gradual decrease in the

during the past three years. In 1892

and Enjoy IL Dance.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, July Grain fell
last night and until noon today. con-
Verting Camp Hancock into a sea
OF mud. This was governors day at
camp, and despite the weather a
good-sized crowd turned out to see
the big events. The contests for
prizes today were between infantry
companies in the maiden class. Gov.
j. w. Stone, of Missouri. and the
visiting magistrates of other states
reviewed the troops in camp. The
governors present We're: Gov. w. A.
Richards and staff, Wyoming; Gov.
Holcomb and staff, Nebraska Judge
Advocate General Meany, represent
ing Gov. Wertz, of New Jersey, and
Gov. Mcintyre and staff, of Colo
RADIO. This afternoon after the sun
had gone down, and the camp was
in darkness and supposed to be
wrapped in slumber, the long roll
was sounded and the troops were
turned out to repel an attack. For
half an hour or more there was a
thrilling encounter between the SOL
dierS of the garrison and the at
lacking party. The firing in the dark
ness by batteries and companies, and
the shouts and commands on either
side, lent an air of reality to the
affair that was pleasing to the spec
tators. Tomorrow, the last day of
| the camp, the announcement of prize
winners will be made, and is looked
| forward to with great interest by the
! competing companies.
Capt Deferrey, of the Nicely zou-
| ayes, of Memphis, has received word
that he and his company have been
dishonorably discharged from the
Tennessee national guard for partici-
pating in the drill. They were not
permitted to come here as a COM
pany, so they came as individuals
and borrowed all their accoutre-
ments and uniforms in ST. Louis for
drill. The justice of their dishon-
orable discharge is being questioned
therefore. Capt. John A. Miller, of
the Phoenix Light infantry, Dayton,
E. G. Wheelock, U. S. A, stationed
at Washington, stating that a re-
cent inspection of the files of the war
department revealed the fact that
Capt. Miller had been given a COM
mission as captain in the regular
army by President Andrew Johnson
in 1865. The letter was the first init
! nation of his promotion received, al
though the commission was issued
thirty years ago.
A brilliant ball in honor of the off
GERS of the companies in camp, Gov.
Stone and the visiting governors and
their staffs, was given this evening
in the Jockey club house on the
| camp grounds by the sponsors and
maids of honor. The elite of the city
attended, as well as many of the
ladies of the officers. Gov. Stone led
the grand march. The affair, which
did not wind up until a late hour,
was a great social success.

TIME LIMIT WAR,
The Railroads Scrappine Over
Christian Endeavor Business. &

Quite a little war has developed in.
the local railroad offices over the
Christian Endeavor excursion BUSH
ness. The action of the Eastern lines
Friday in Chicago, which shuts off
all tickets via Buffalo for a longer
limit than Aug. 6, has paralyzed
some of the lines. All have sold
tickets and sent out parties over
these roads, and the contracts will
have to be made good, even though
it costs the st. Paul-Chicago lines
all their profit. Holders of these
tickets on their return can pay what
ever extra fare is demanded, taking
a receipt for it in each case, and
collect the extra amount when they
get back from the road which sold
them the ticket. The lines will prob
ably get together and adjust the
damage when it is all done.
The burning question now is, who
started all the trouble? The 500.
claims that their break to Sept. Is
was a measure of self-defense,e' be {!
cause some of the other roads, had.
been selling secretly to Sept l. The
Minneapolis & st. Louis took a spec;
cial party of ten July 2, in advance
OF the schedule time, but they GLAZING,
that this was done in order to save
the party from the 500, which shad-
the allurement of a Sept. Is limit.
AS far as the effect on excursions
lists is concerned it will be very
slight. The 500 is still selling tickets
good to Sept. Is, as the action of the
other Eastern lines will not be fol-
lowed by their Eastern connections.
The Grand Trunk, the Soos princi-
pal competitor, also holds to the@
Sept. Is limit, and the Chicago lines
can sell tickets via Montreal under
those conditions.
General Passenger Agent Gallo
way, of the 500. will personally con-.
duct the special which leaves here
tomorrow evening, which will carry
six, and perhaps seven, sleeping
cars.
