Sell the Harness, Too.--Whenever q
horse Is sold, the harness in which it
has been used to working ought always
to go with the bargain. No two har-
nesses were ever made to 1T alike and
especially where the pressure comes on
the shoulder or neck in drawing. The
skin under the old harness has been
gradually t~oughened by pressure on
one spot, but with the new harness the
pressure Is shifted, it may be only an
inch or two, but it comes where the
skin is tender and will quickly break
when exposed to the collar. If the
whole harness cannot go, be at least
sure to secure the collar with any new
horse purchased, SO that the animal a

Hogs Fed on Horses.-A foreigne,
farming near Delphi, Ind, a veritable
ghoul. has been indicted by the state
board of health for feeding hogs on
dead horses. He found the hogs would
fatten for g. time on the offal and dead
horses, SO he bought up all the old
cheap horses he could find to feed to
his hogs and managed to sell them off
before they died Of hog cholera or dis
ease. The state board OF health saw
the hogs SO fattened are dangerous to
use as food. Any farmer should be in
dicted who will feed dead animals to
his hogs. and it is sure to derelon hoo

Yarded Fowls.-A speaker at a New
York farmers institute said: Yarded
fowls are the modern improved egg
machines. Fowls let run and given
free range cannot produce as great a
number Of eggs, for the a that
they CONVEX a part of their food into
muscle and thus reduce their capacity
for forming the eggs. In my W case

Trainingto Balk.-Many colts are ac-
tually taught to balk, kick. scare and
many other bad habits that rem I.r
them almost worthless. This usually
results either from carelessness or try
ing to crowd too much instruction into
a little time. Man with all his intelli-
gence requires from two to five wears
to become skilled in any trade. Some
never learn. How can we expect the
horse. that is guided only by instinct,
to know everything after being hitched
half a dozen times? This would be
presuming him to have more n than
his driver, and many Of them have
more horse sense than the driver has

The New Railroad Bridge.

Work on the new bridge will COM
mence in about a week. The build
ing OF the piers, four in number, will
be the first work done. They will
be built Of concrete. The bridge will
consist of five spans each 100 feet
long. The trains will run over the
bridge not through as they do with
the other one in the northern part
OF the city. The track will be about
Is feetfro the water. After the COM
pletion of the piers it will only take
about two weeks to finish the bridge.
This work would have commenced
some time ago but for the fact that
they have been Handicapped in several
ways and that certain other work
must be done before the bridge can
even be started.

The three large saw mills In WI
mona have advanced the wages OF
their men voluntarily, because, the
proprietors say, prosperity has
struck their industry the same as
others. The Winona Republican
in commenting upon this says:
"That is a pleasant indication OF
the actual arrival here of Republican
prosperity thai is told in our local
columns today. The proprietors OF
the three large saw mills in Winona,
employing in the aggregate about
900 men, have advanced the wages
OF their employees an average OF ten
per cent, from rates hitherto paid,
to take effect Immediately. The fact
that this increase was voluntarily
extended by the employers, without
the application of pressure by the
workingmen, is significant one,
IMPLYING as it does the good feeling
that has always existed between
these great Industrial concerns OF
Winona and their employees. Not
only this, but it shows that the
lumber manufacturers OF this city
realize and appreciate the tact that
the workingmen are entitled to re-
ceive a liberal share of the results OF
the restored business prosperity
which has come to the country with
in the past two years. In spirit OF
Justice, therefore, as well as good
will, they have taken a step which
not only operates toward the main
tenance of the cordial relations exist
ing between them and their en-
ployes, but commends them anew
to the respect and admiration OF the
comm unity in general.

QUIT YOUR POOLING.
The City Officials Must Do
Business IN Legal Manner
Hereafter. =

The latest proposed Injunction Is
one to restrain the establishment OF
a market place opposite Richard
Bros, and to prevent the expendi-
ture of public money on improve
ments OF the property there. Some
of the business men have talked OF
on organization to systematically
consider the conduct Of the officials,
and prevent any wasteful or illegal
use of public money. The organiza-
ton is in rather indefinite form, but
some of those interested are deter
mined that the market place shall
not be- completed on the proposed
site. Attorney J. H. Rhodes was
employed to procure an Injunction
to stop the city work on the market
site, and he was in st. Cloud this
morning for that purpose. Judge
Searle was absent, however, and no
Injunction was secured, but it is ex-
pected soon. Mr.. Rhodes is at pres
ent employed by Peter Medved, but
the latter apparently has the CO.
operation of Mecusker, Kerrich,
Simonet and several others. We un-
derstand it is the intention to employ
Mr.. Rhodes to prevent the payment
of city money for any improvements
made on the market site prior to
such time as an INDUCTION can be OBJ
tanned.
There is quite bitter feeling dis
played by some business men over
the market removal, and it is not
particularly on account of the ex-
pense to the city. Heretofore the
market has been in the same block
with. Medved's store, and Its re-
moval is very unsatisfactory to him.
To prevent it he is now taking the
matter to the courts. Until the
business mems movement takes a
broader scope than a contention
over the market site we shall hardly
believe that it is solely for the city
interest.
When Trebby got his Injunction to
stop the policemen's pay wecouldn't
give him credit for any patriotic
motives, although the effect was to
| prevent expenditure Of public money
We believe that Medved is now con-
sidering his own interests more than
he is the city's.
Some of those who are now urging
the business mems organization are
undoubtedly anxious to do some
thing to generally prevent illegal
and extravagant use of city funds
There is certainly cause enough fol-
such public sentiment. The mayor
and both divisions of the city council
are reckless and extravaganza, and
employ their official positions tC
annoy each OTHER. But the business
mems movement must be a good
deal broader than the program sc
far made public to be very impressive
on the people Of the city.
LArER-Mr. Rhodes informs the
TRANSCRIPT that a restraining order
has been granted in the market site
matter.

GOES AGAINST QUAY
Court Admits the Famous "Red
Book" Found In Hopkins Desk.

Philadelphia, Pa, april 14.-Per-
sistent, keen and brilliant argument
between District Attorney Rothermel
on one side and Messrs. Watson, Shap-
ley and Shields on the other upon the
admission Of testimony which may go
a long way to establish the alleged
guilt of ex-United States Senator Quay
was a Feature of today's trial and it
eliminated N a decided victory for
the prosecution.
The Red Book found in
CASHIER Hopkins desk after his
suicide, and upon the admis-
sion of which the common
wealth so largely rests its case, was
the shaft the district attorney aimed
at the defense. To pave the way for
final effort to introduce the book itself,
he succeeded after frequent clashes
with opposing counseIs, sometimes bit
ter and personal, in presenting expert
testimony to prove that the book was
necessarily a book Of the bank, as the
accounts in the books admitted under
the courts ruling would be made in
telAgible by the Red Book" The de-
Tense will make another determined
opposition to the admission OF the
Red Book tomorrow.
During all the examination touch
ing on the book no intimation OF
amounts or names were allowed to
reach the jury. The prosecution all
along, however, has alleged that this
book will show that Cashier Hopkins
computed interest on state funds and
deposited the money to Senator Quay's
credit.
