HOW TO GIVE MEDICINE
To Horses, Cattle and swine-Pills.
Drenchfng, Etc,

DrenCHlnS, GtCt
When a horse is to be drenched put
on a halter the nose band of which is
wide enough to allow the muoth to be
opened to its fullest extent. Now take
a moose, made of any small rope about
one foot long, put it into the mouth,
slip it over the upper jaw and by these
means elevate the head of the animal
sufficiently to prevent the medicine
from running out while being poured
into the mouth. Give the medicine
carefully and never through the nose,
as it is then liable 10 flow into the
windpipe of the horse, thus often kill
ing it. Should the horse refuse to
swallow, q great deal of patience is re-
quired to drench him properly; never
strike or rub the throat or. pull out the
tongue, as such proceedings have a
tendency to produce a cough. which
means that the animal will spit out
the medicine you wish BIN to swallow.
Animals which are stubborn and will
not swallow, are often induced to DO
so by stroking the palate right behind
the upper front teeth. In order to give
the horse a pill or, as it is termed, a
ball, draw the tongue out gently with
the left hand and with the other hand
hold the pill by bringing the fingers
together to q point. Then let the
hand with the pill glide quickly along
the roof of the mouth until nearly half
the arm is in the mouth of the horse,
drop the pill, withdraw the hand, and
now only release the tongue. II this
is done properly, the hand in the
mouth is not in danger of injury.
Medicine, which is irritating, such as
b~luestone, must not be given as a pow.
der because it is liable to cauterize the
delicate parts of the digestive passages.
Cows are drenched by holding their
horns and grabbing with index finger
and thumb the wall which divides the
nssal passages 0he same place in
which bulls are ringed). Cows rarely
are given pills rs they are so easily
drenched. The contrary is true of the
hog, hence drenching is always con
nected with difficulties and danger.
If the hog must be %drenched, run ii
with the hind quarters into a corner,
place a moose into the mouth and over
the upper jaw, in the same manner as
recommended for the horse, and most
carefully give the drench. Should the
hog begin to cough this also refers to
the horse and cow Immediately stop
giving the medicine and let the hand
come down. Since the drenching of
the hog is so d~isagreeable, medicines
are generally given in the shape OF
powders mixed in the food.

Murdered For His Mouey.

G. D. Collins, a wealthy Tennessee
an, was Iured to his probable death
Tuesday night by a man he had
known since boyhood, and with whom
he had been on terms of intimate
friendship for six years. His assail.
ant is Martin Ensley of Memphis,
Tenn, whose father, Colonel Enoch
Ensley, was one of the most promi-
nent mine owners and planters Of the
south. EnsIey induced his compan-
ion to visit Meramec Height, q sum-
mer resort Is mile from st. Louis.
On the plea of illness he led him to a
clump of bushes abount rs yards from
the hotel. There, stepping behind his
victim, he dealt him blow after blow
on the head with a hammer he had
purchased presumably for the pur'
pose of committing the murder.
When the pounding had reduced Col
Inns to a state of insensibility, Ensley
stopped over the PROSTATE body and
tore from a vest pocket a roll of bills
that amounted to $4,000. He started
up the hill and passed the money to
an accomplish. who is believed to have
escaped on a trolley car The would
be murderer ran down the path lead
ing to the Meramec river. Two men
saw the assault and the robbery and
witnessed the transfer of the monev
and the escape of the principal and
his accomplish. Charles Felter, a
baker employed at the inn, and a
gardner who had been engaged about
the grounds a fortnight, were the wit.
nesses. They ran to the hotel and
notified the night Waterman and told
him the story. Collins was removed
to- Kirkwood, where a physician
dressed his wounds. Ensley when
arrested protested his innocence, claim
ing that he, too had been assaulted.
This occurred about midnight. At 3
o'clock this morning two deputy sher-
ifs from Clayton, the county seat, ar
rived at Meramec Heights. They
searched the grounds fora weapon and
discovered a ne W hammer covered with
blood. On Ensley vas found $500,
which was supposed to be part Of the
stolen money. At daybreak Ensley
was driven over TO Kirkwood and
identified by Collins as his assailant.

Treat All Alike.

The Washington Times says the
Republican leaders have quite ceased
to make fun of MIR. David Lubin and
his farmers bounty proposition.
They have discovered with something
much resembling alarm that, after a
quiet, persistent propaganda conduct
ed among the agricultural class for
several years, Mr.. Lubin has impreg.
mated the farming communities with
his ideas in a way that does not prom
ise comfort for those patriots who are
ever rallying the dear people around
the flag of neutrality-suspicious.,
however, being limited to the trusts
and monopolies. Now, Mr.. David
Lubin takes the ground that ''protec-
ton" is exactly what the farmers, as
we'll al other interests, want. He be-
lieves in protecting manufacturers,
but only on condition that others are
accorded a like benefit. He argues,
and unanswerably from any Republi-
can standpoint, that if the whole coun-
try ought to be taxed for the profit of
trusts and monopolies, it would be
perfectly fair that the whole country
should be taxed to pay a bounty to
farmers on all the grain they might
be able to export. Protection which
protects everybody, themselves ex-
copied, compels the farmers to pay
higher prices for everything they
buy. The logic is simple. They feel
that they ought to have either a liber-
al bounty or free trade. Any ancient
thing will do for Mr.. Lubin's farmers,
as long as they are placed on an even
keel with all other people. At last
the Administration people, the tariff
thinkers and such like, have walked up
to the fact that this logical application
of the pure gospel of Chinese wall
tariff has run like a cry of fire through
a small village, all over the sgricul.
tural regions of the Union. OF course,
they are not in a position to meet it,
or TO pay any present attention to it.
They have all they a do to settle
their tariff, currency and pooling bill
campaign debts, with their contribu.
tory creditors. But they do know
that the movement means something
like a million Democratic votes at the
ensuing elections, and the though is
not conducive to hilarity nor yet to
sleep"

WHAT HF KNOWS ABOUT COTTON.
Mr. DeLeon Would Confine Hon. John
Gary to Dispsnssrtes.

Mr.. Perry M. De Leon, of Atlanta,
who has been engaged in the cotton
business for many years, takes excep'
lions to the statements Of eX Gov. John
Gary Exams, of South Carolina, in re.
gard to the cotton tax. Mr.. DE Leon
has studied the question closely, and
is regarded as an authority in his Sec
ton. In speaking of the matter to a
reporter of the Washington Post, he
said:
II notice in your columns an inter-
view with John Gary Evans, ex Gov
ernor of South Carolina, in which he
scouts the idea of the cotton tax being
of any benefit to the cotton planter,
and denies that Egyptian cotton comes
in competition with any grades OF
American cotton. The Hon. John
may know a good deal more of dispen:
saries, which seem to be the alpha and
Omega of modern South Carolina
craftsmanship of the reform school,
but he evidently knows nothing OF
the subject he discussed. Egyptian
cotton has invaded our markets since
my connectisn with the cotton bust
ness, hence l sought information from
recognized authorities.
I'm 1896 we raised about 80, 900, 600
pounds of Sea Island cotton and i'm
ported IS. 200, 900 pounds of Egyptian.
The president of the New York Cotton
Exchange, Hon. Gustavus Q. Hop
kins, writes me: Egyptian cotton
certainly does compete with our long
staple Again he says: Although a
free trader. I do not see why, If the
North is to have protection on her wool
and other articles, the South should
not have it on her cotton and rice A
prominent merchant, whose firm were
the first importers on any scale Of
Egyptian cotton. tells me every pound
of Egyptian cotton displaces SO much
of our Sea Island cotton and the extra
staple cotton of the Yazoo Delta and
Brazos bottoms. 1t does not affect our
ordinary uplands. Yet the Hon. John
Gary Evans and Senator Chiffon, OF
Texas, tell US it does not compete with
any variety of our cottons.
"The country will hardly accept
their testimony on the subject of cot
ton in preference to the authorities l
quote. My own State, Georgia, raises
two-thirds of the Sea Island crop, and
our Senators did a wise and patriotic
thing when they ignored parties and
voted for a tax on cotton. Having
the approval Of their constituents, as
they do, they will scarcely care for
the criticisms of Mr.. Evans. His re-
marks were evidently aimed at Sena-
tor McLaurin, whom he desires to sue
ceed."

A Negro Runs Aml1ek.

The news comes of the murder of
FIVE negroes iu the extreme northwest
ern part of Kemper county, Ala. A
negro named Sibley, while drunk, got
a gun and started out to kill every
person he met; the first he came across
happened to be five negroes, three
women and two children. He shot
them down. He also shot at six other
negroes who narrowly escaped. AS
soon as the bloody work of Sibley was
discovered a mob was organized to
lynch the murderer. Sibley took to
the woods carrying his gun with him.
At last accounts the mob had surroun.
ded him and a bloody fight was immi-
nent. Word comes from Dekalb that
the sheriff of Kemper county had
gone to the scene with a large posse.
