HORSE ACTION.
Low steppers Have Their Proper Place as
 Fast Travellers.


 Fast Travellers.
 The essential quality of q good hack, according to Nimrod in the celebrated letters which he wrote 70 years ago, is that he should go near the ground and go safe. A horse can ga near the ground and not trip, and go high and be "an arrant tumble down." Tho safest mi. maj that ever came under the observa- tion of Nimrod was in his own family for 15 years. She was mare that touched every stone that she passed her foot oycr, but never made n mistake. Safety of action depends not on the talk ing up of the foot, but in the putting of it down. "When tho leg is bent as in action in the form of a c and the foot suspended in the mir, turning in- ward, with a curve toward the body, were it in that state to como in contact with stone or any other substance, it would pass over it without resistance, being, as it were, at that time in a fac cid state, but when the foot approaches the ground the limb is extended and tho whole weight of the fore quarters is about to be thrown upon it. If, then, the base for this weight be not even and firm, if tho toe dis into the ground be- fore tho bearing is completed, trip, and dangerous one, is the consequence. The horse that goes close to tho ground, landing properly on his heels, husbands his strength and gives us the highest rate of speed with tho least exertion. The Arab horse has not a great rate of speed because his action is high, and n critic like Nimrod would not select him for the saddle. The action of the Elec- tioneer family is the'lowest of all trot- ting families, and it has given us ex- treme speed in the first and second gen eraticns. Sunol, 2:0Sil, to high wheel sulky on kite track; Falo Alto, 9 :0SSz, as n stallion to high wheel sulky, and Arion, 2:103i, as a 2-year-old to high wheel sulky, are from the loins of Elec- tioneer. These are top records of their kind. Fantasy, who has a 3-year-old record of 2:0S3I and a 4-year-old rec ord of 2:06, is by Chimes, a son of Elec- tioneer, and so is The Monk, who holds the championship 4-year-old gelding record, 20S4. Azote, 2:04A, is by Whips, another son of Electioneer. Thoso arc striking illustrations of the extreme speed capacity of family that goes close to the ground. Those who find fault with horses that do not step high fly ill the face of facts and observ- ing critics.-Turf, Field and Farm.

Friend and Foe.

At a recent sitting of tho French academy, the members met ill the vesti- bule on their way out two sisters of charity seeking aims. Everybody gave them something, but the nuns, not hav- ing perceived that M. de Bornier had contributed his share, solicited from him second time. Naturally M. de Bornier politely protested that he had done his duty.

times in life it is necessary to mako Il retort, sometimes ill life it is necessary to resist, but there arc crises when the most triumphant thing to do is to keep silence. The philosopher, confident in his newly discovered principle, waiting for tho coming of moro intelligent gen erations, willing that men should laugh at the lightning rod and cotton gin and steamboat and telegraph, waiting for long years through the scoffing of philo- sophical schools ill grand and magnifi- cent silence.

The reformer, execrated by his contempo- raries, fastened ill pillory the slow fires of public contempt burning under him, ground under the cylinders of the printing press, yet calmly waiting for the day when purity of soul and hero- ism of character will get the sanction of earth and the plaudits of heaven.

 Oh, woman, does not this story of Vashti the queen, Vashti the yelled, Vashti the sacrifice, Vashti the silent, move your soul? My sermon converges into the one absorbing hope that none of you may be shut out of the palace gate of heaven. You can endure the hardships and the privations and the cruelties and the misfortunes of this life if you can only gain admission there. Through the blood of the everlasting covenant you go through those gates or never go through at all. God forbid that you should at last be banished from the so- ciety of angels and banished from the companionship of your glorified kindred and banished forever. Through the rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ may you be enabled to initiate the example of Rachel and Hannah and Abigail and Deborah and Mary and Esther and Vashti.

All seeds not bright and plump should be discarded Gs dangerous. If the person most inter- ested in this matter will examine tho brown, shriveled or imperfect beans, bo will find cavity between the two seed leaves where the fungus is to be seen with hand lens, and, by the way, ov- cry grower of crops ought to have Q magnifer, which he can use to help out his eyes in this work of seed inspection.
 The last fact to be noted bearing di- rectly upon the propagation of the bean pod spot is that of its growing upon other plants than the bean. The bean anthracnose thrives almost as well up. on the melon group of plants, where it makes ulcers upon the fruit similar to those upon the bean, only upon much larger scale. Thus single point of in- lection may spread upon watermelon until it is inches in diameter, and of course the fruit is ruined.

The bean may be attacked while it is quite small, and by the time it is half grown the surface may tccome broken by the disease. The spots are usually circular and when they become continent the places affected are quite irregular. Not infrequently tho diseased tissue becomes sunken and dark, bearing upon its surface minute pustules of pinkish color, and around the whole spot they may also have a reddish dis ooloration giving the appearance of a birds eye. The appearance of the tissue that is diseased by the fungus is seen in the first figure. The fungus also at tacks the leaves.
 In tho second figure is shown O leaf drawn from nature and having somo parts destroyed by the fungus, while in other place the leaf was still green, but the veins were brown. The fact that the disease comes to the surface mostly upon the underside of the leaf makes it necessary in spraying to place the noz- gle low and direct it upward, thus reaching the surface where the spores are being produced most abundantly.
 One of the points that greatly inter est bean growers is the method this fungus has of getting into the beans and remaining there until they are planted, when the disease grows with the seed. ling and may cause its early destruction.
 It follows from tie above fact that it is essential to plant only sound beans. These arc net always determined with

 That familiar and ancient foe of tho gardener popElarly known as "bean rust" represents enc of tho most de- struotive of the bean fungi, for which, however, spraying is Cauimed to be an effectual remedy. B. D. Halsted of the New Jersey station presents some i'm pcrtant facts in American Gardening about this fungus and it's prevention, as follows:
 The fungus infosts all parts of the plant, but on account of its greater con- spicuousness upon tho pods it is very commonly called the pod spot"

that they will not be called into service

developments in the situation at Bear
island.
So long as nothing is done there 1t
is not at all likely that the status here
will be changed, but reports from the
camps indicate that the Indians are
watching the Walker men closely, and
that they are receiving definite news
of what transpires there. Aggressive
action might easily stir up the Indians
in this vicinity, and make the presence
of the troops an imperative necessity.
Adjt Gen. Muehlberg, tonight, stated
that his plans for the future were not
definitely outlined, and that much
would depend upon developments pend

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-United
States Marshal OConnor means busi-
ness. He came up here after Indian
prisoners, and he wants them. He
does not enter into the merits of the
controversy between those who contend
that Gen. Bacon gave the Indians a
thrashing and those who say that the
Indians had all the best of the Bear
island affair, but he Is emphatic in
stating his own position. The trouble

tion. lemail ljns there, while Col. Ro-
land Hartley, Of Gov. Cloughs staff,
accompanied Battery A on 10 this
place.
The run was not eventful and moth
ing exciting was found when the bat
terry arrived here. The special train
was delayed in leaving Superior from
which point the start was made this
morning, but after leaving Saunders
good time was made and at all the lit
tie stations along the line the troops
were given a hearty welcome by the
people.
There were no signs Of alarm until
after the train was up as far as Grand
Rapids, and even beyond that point
there was no special excitement. At
this place the people today have not
felt any fear Of an immediate attack
or that there was any acute danger,
but they were greatly pleased at their
arrival, and the citizens Of Cass Lake
are sleeping more sOundly tonight for
the knowledge that the battery boys
are here and that the ugly Gatling
gun Is ready for immediate service
should there be danger. Col. Hartley
has sent several kilograms to Gov.
Clough since his arrival and has re-
ceived several messages, presumably
from the executive, but the text of the
kilograms has not been given out, and
Col. Hartley and Maj. Lfbbey, even if
| they know the plans for the next
week, are not making them public. In
the absence Of any special develop
ments tomorrow, and there is nothing
tonight to indicate any danger, the
battery will in all probability spend
Sunday here, the boys making them
selves as comfortable as possible.
The people will assist in making their
stay pleasant, and whatever the town
affords is at their service. 1t is under
stood that Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg will
| be here tomorrow, but the announce
ment is not official. There Is nothing
alarming in the situation here tonight.
| Reports from the lumber camps and
the settlements in the country, between
this point and Walker, and off to the
ncrth, are that considerable uneasiness
exists. but the fears Of the people do
not seem to have any very tangible
basis, and are grounded largely upon
their defenseless condition in the event
CT any outbreak, and the exaggerated
rumors that have reached here from
Leech Lake, Lathrop and other points
in the district that would be endanger-
| ed in a general uprising.

Staff Special to The st. Paul Globe
WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 8.-The fight
ing Indians of the Pillager band are
to be wiped out. They can perform the
operation themselves by repenting and
surrendering. If they do not do this,
they are to be surrounded and can suit
themselves then about laying down
their arms or being shot with them in
their hands.
A short and aggressive campaign
which will end the Indian troubles in
this section for all time to come is Gen.
Bacon's present plan Of action. 1t was
arrived at today after consultations, in
which Marshal O'Connor, Indian Agent
Sutherland and Lieut.. Col Harbach
took, part. There were frequent tele-
grams to and from Washington, and
1t is rumored here tonight that a de-
cided stand of some kind taken by Gov.
Clough had something to do with the
determination of the war department
to treat the matter as a serious thing
and to meet the situation with heroic
remedies.
However that may be- there is no
question tonight that unpleasant times
are in store for the Pillager outlaws
and that Minnnesota, is to see within
the next two weeks an Indian cam
paign Of greater magnitude than the
country has known since that which
eliminated in the battle of Wounded
Knee.
Three regiments are to take part in
the aggressive move against the In
dians The two Minnesota regiments,
which have had only duty in Southern
camps and which are now on furlough,
are to see active service and against
an enemy not so pretentious, but quite
as dangerous as that encountered by
the men who took part in the cam
paign against Santiago.
Within two weeks and possibly with
in a week Gen. Bacon will have three
regiments under him in the Leech lake
vicinity, a force which is considered
ample to whip the Pillagers into alb
iect submission and at the same time
guard any settlements which may be
exposed to attack from the outlaws or
from any allied savages who may es-
pouse their cause.
BACON COMING BACK.
On Monday Gen. Bacon will go to st.
Paul and will consult with Gov. Clough
as to the plan of campaign. Upon his
arrival, or possibly before that time.
the men of the Twelfth and Fourteenth
regiments, who are on furlough, will
be recalled and held in readiness to an
swer any summons.

there is little doubt now that they will
