TOUCH OF WINTERS BREATH
GALVESTON PEOPLE, LIVING IN
TENTS, SUFFER FROM COLD.

Made homeless by the disastrous flood
of a month and more ago, the people of
Galveston are now having their suffering
heightened by the first touch of winter S
breath. The matter OF immediate relief
from want Of food and clothes was fully
met by the country when the stricken Texas
city cried out for assistance. To provide
homes for the poor who lost their all In the
devastating hurricane Is matter OF greater
moment and wider endeavor. For the pur-
pose of assisting the hapless people of the
storm-stricken city. mass meeting Of the
residents of Washington has been called for
Sunday afternoon next at the National
Theater at $3.50 o'clock. under the auspices
of the local auxiliary of the National Red
Cross. Prominent speakers will make ad-
dresses, and description of the appalling
circums tances in the flooded section will
be given by those who have been upon the
scene since the storms work was done.
AS an evidence Of the need of relief in
Galveston at this time the telegram re-
ceived In Washington this morning from
Father j. w. kirwin, pastor of st. Mary 5
Cathedral in that city. Is referred to. l.,
reads:
"Norther blowing and much suffering.
Receipts so far leave little for homes"
Those who have experienced a Texas
norther will readily understand the need Of
shelter. fuel and winter clothing The
chill wind strikes seemingly right into one s
bones, and Is uncomfortable under tue best
of circumstances Coming upon storm
wrecked Galveston.o with its hundreds of
people living in camp, the norther undoubt-
edly brings great suffering. Representa-
tive Hawley of Texas has received an ap-
peal from the CITY, council of Galveston,
urging the necessity for providing better
shelter for the .homefsss.
Secretary Hay will be invited to preside
at the mass meeting Sunday afternoon
Addresses will be made, by Rev. D. j. STAT

dent of the National Red Cross. who has

Just as the walls of the depot were

Overtaxtng the Ranges.

The recent distress on the southwest
ern ranges is the natural result; Of over
crowding and the destruction Of
sources of water supply, says The Ma
tional Stockman. A drought Of any
length brings about a water famine
which is even more distressing than a
scarcity Of forage. The forest reserves.
the natural sources of water, have been
destroyed, the pastures have been over
taxed and thinned out. And now cat
tie r being shipped out or lost be-
cause range privileges have been thus
abused. If official reports are to be
trusted, ranges, both northern and
southern, are not capable of supporting
the amount Of stock they did years ago
because Of continued close pasturing.
The system which makes it necessary
for every man to get all he can from
the range without regard to it's future
usefulness is radically wrong and must
end in disaster to those who depend on
these pastures.

THE ONES ELECTED.
Official Returns Are All In and Being
Tabulated at the County Audi .
ditor's Office.
Show the Republicans to Have Been
Successful On All Places But
Three or Four.

The official returns have all been
made to the county auditor and are
being tabulated for the convenience of
the c~anvassing board which meets
next week. The result of the election
was unusual in several instances. In
the contest for the Office Of register Of
deeds, James Fortune and Charley
Johnson seem to be a tie. The figures
published in the Tribune last night
made Fortune one ahead, but in Gibbs
precinct there was an error in copying
which gave Fortune one more vote
than he is given by others who have
kept the count. II the official returns
show no change from the unofficial,
the Office will have to be decided by
drawing lots, which is the means pro-
vided by the laws of the state for de-
Gliding tie votes. This does not hap
pen often, but there was a case in
Nelson county. a couple of years ago
on the Office of clerk of court. &
Fannie Dunn is elected to the Office
Of superintendent of schools, the re-
turns showing that she carried both
the city and the country. She made a
vigorous campaign, and in precincts
where the republican candidates car
ried the day, she won out alone on the
fusion ticket. A large share of the
women vote was cast for her and she
will have a considerable majority.
SWEET is elected commissioner and
Harvey assessor in the Second district.
Falconer, Moorhouse, Shelton, Fort
and the other nominees OF the county
ticket had large majorities, and Sher-
if Bogue is reelected by a safe ma
jority. Friends of the sheriff are con-
graduating him OF the result. He
made a good officer and deserved a
second term. He won out, although
a bitter fight was made against him.
The republican legislative ticket is
elected by good majorities in the coun-
ty. Tie Missouri slope will have a
nearly solid Legislative delegation in
the next session. The Thirty-frst
district goes republican, as in the case
in the battle in Kidder, Emmons and
Logan. Morton county elects repub-
lican representatives, although there
is a fusion holdover in the senate.
lAcLean county gave an Overwhelming
majority for the republican legislative
nominees. 5

BREAKING BIT.

@s J. .-.tr ouCAoAA&No DALE d." -.rr ~. -
insert the thumb and press it gently
on the nerve centers of his lower jaw.
In nearly all cases he will yield at
once and will suffer his mouth to be
opened quite wide. The breaker should
take the bit in the left hand, still keep
ing the right fingers in the colts
mouth, slip it gently through his teeth
into his mouth. attach it to the side
ring, then withdraw the fingers, and
the whole matter is accomplished with
out a struggle. r.
AS o as the colt is bridled and bit
ted the surcingle should be strapped
lightly round him. The breaker should
avoid drawing suddenly at first, or the
pressure may startle him and cause
him to kick and throw himself down.
The next thing Is to place the crupper
beneath his tail. This is accomplished
by standing well forward at the near
side Of the colt and pushing his tail
quietly through. The breaker should
be sure that all the loose hair is
colt kick sooner than by leaving some
Of the hair at the root of the tail out
side the crupper, for when the pressure
comes upon it it will nip his dock and
induce him to kick and throw himself
about in all directions. The crupper
should be fixed to the surcingle, taking
care not to draw it too tightly. After
this the breaker should: take the end of
the halter, which should always be left
on the head of the colt beneath the bri-
die, and bring it through between his
fore legs and tie it not too tightly to
the surcingle. After a little practice in
this the side reins should be
placed upon him very loosely, the near
rein being fixed to the off ring Of the
surcingle, and vice versa.
It is a good plan to turn the colt into
q large open court, where he cannot get
fast in any way, and allow him to
roam about of his own accord. In this
way he will soon begin to champ and
work the bit, and the more he works ii
his mouth will be the more evenly
made. The bit should be slightly bent,
with three small keys suspended from
the center. The bend in the bit pre-.
vents the colt making his mouth un-
equal, as it is impossible for him to
pull entirely on one side Of it, while
the loose action of the keys induces him
to work the bit more freely. The keys
should not be too long, or they will
come between his front teeth, which
may give him a bad habit of tossing up
his head in future.
Some colts are inclined to sulk on the
bit at first, but in time they will gener-
ally work it quite freely. The break
ing tackle should not remain upon the
colt more than a couple of hours at
first, and the time should gradually be
increased as the breaking proceeds.

HORSE COMFORTS.

Stable Devices For Hot weather.

The poor horse, the work horse Of the
farm, usually receives little besides
food, water and an occasional brushing
off Of the coarse dirt which covers his

that the sturdy, faithful beast of bur
den Of the farm Of all animals on the
place deserves good care The prac-

heavy farm work between meals adds

mouth and throat from dust, just as
you want a swallow or two from the
spring between meals. Then there is
the excellent practice, not SO common
as it should be, Of using a sponge and
water freely, especially on the parts Of
the horse covered by the harness, at
the close Of the days work. One can
scarcely imagine the comfort the
cleansing Of these parts gives to the
horse, as well as the washing out Of
mouth and nostrils and the sponging
of his neck and head.
The chief discomforts Of the horse,
however, are found in the dark and
poorly ventilated stables and especially
on hot summer nights. The illustra-
ton shows how stables with door and
windows can be arranged to provide
good light and ventilation without adj
hitting flies or mosquitoes and all at a
small expense. AS a rule stables are
too dark.
The illustration of the barn door, Fig.
1, shows that the door is made in two
parts, a plan Of construction quite pop
ular in some sections. The screen
frame is made of inch stuff and is
about three inches wide, braced at the
corners. Upright pieces Of the same
material are screwed on as shown in
the Illustration. The distance apart
these upright pieces should be placed
depends upon circumstances-whether
there is danger from thieves or If the
horse should get loose in the stable,
breaking the netting with it's head. In
such cases the upright strips should be
placed closer together, otherwise four
over the space will be ample. The
wire cloth or netting is used, which can
be- bought at hardware stores at 2
cents a square foot and varies in
width from Is inches up. The screen
Is made to swing inside and Is bolted
when closed. The upper half Of the
door proper swings out in most cases
and a be fastened to the side of the
barn with hook and staple. In the
event Of a strong wind or rain storm
this door can be closed and bolted from
the inside without removing the
screen. d.. = ~, "
Fig. 2 shows how the same plan of
screening the windows may be carried
out. Most barn windows are made to
slide. so that in this al the screen Is
also made to slide, but in the opposite
direction from the window. It is thus
very easy to slide either the screen or
the glass. sash whichever way may be
needed over the opening. It will be no.

window of glass with wire netting
such as is used in poultry yard build
ing. This is a good idea, especially II
