this republic first among the nations of
the earth; who has guided our advancing

AT this period when the year nineteen
hundred is running out its days and the
already breaking with radiant promise of
great events in the sky of the future; when
as a government and as a people we have
spread abroad the splendid possibilities OF
our nations greatness, this day Of thanks

a start In

A great many people who2would like
TO get some pure bred live stock, espe-
cially beef cattle, are deploring the
fact that they were not ready to buy
them a few years ago, when they were
SO cheap, says The National Stockman.
But q shrewd observer Of human ma
ture win note that 95 per cent Of these
regretters never would and never will
buy anything when 1t is under the
cloud of depression. It is a fact that
very few breeders Of live stock begin
when they can buy their stock the
cheapest-when 1t is In the slough Of
despond. The incentive to begin Is
lacking then, and the enthusiasm Is
not In the air. Good times and enthu-
siasm among breeders are the means
of starting many a mar in what will
be to him a profitable business. He
can afford to pay something extra for
a start under these circumstances: ne
cannot afford to wait until the depres-
sion comes, for then, nine times out OF
ten, he win not start at all. And then.
too, It looks as IL he might have a good
while to walt.

Two years ago Mercer county cast
1913 votes and gave the republicans LAG
majority. This year the vote is in
creased to 3OS-without the Indians
and thanks to the good work done by
Messrs. Schneider and Leupp, McKin-
ley gets a majority of $50. Tom Mar
shall gets a majority of 223; Major
White gets a majority of LA, which is
pretty good considering the fact that
Max Wipperman spent some time up
there and MERGERS voters are mostly
Germans. Mercer gave Judge Win
chester 1877 majority, and Simpson for
state senator 202 majority. The Mer-
Ger county republicans are Of the right
stripe. #

The Grand Forks PIaindealer gloat

The Grand Forks Plaindealer gloats
over the fact that the National Salt
company has put up the price Of salt
to So. 80 per hundred pounds. The
Plaindealer is glad because it shows
the iniquity of Mark Hanna and the
trusts. Now we do not know how long
it would take the Plaindealer to eat
100 pounds OF salt. From the tenor
of its campaign articles we cannot be-
lieye that the Plaindealer uses much
salt. But if the Plaindealer force
consumes a hundred pounds OF salt a
year it would mean an additional
charge of a little over a dollar. But
the raising of the price of salt was not
due to the trusts. 1t was due to such
campaign organs as the P~laindealer.
Its articles had to be taken with GO
much salt that it caused a shortage in
the visible supply-consequently the
increase in price. With this brief ex-
PLANTATION we trust the readers of the
Plaindealer will not permit themselves
to become unduly agitated.

The Fargo Argus and the Jamestown
Alert seem to be the iconoclasts of the
state press. The Alert took occasion
some weeks ago to score John Sher-
man after he was dead, and the Argus
takes the same stand with reference
to Willard. Neither paper seems to
have learned the "de mortuis nil nisi
bonum' precept-and, if it had been
learned, it is held to he a poor rule.

HOW OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED
WITHOUT ANESTHETlcS.

Common Methods of Casting The
aPersunder, and It's Use-Sfde Lin
Ing Takes Advantage OF the Dfsin-l
cIfnntion Of Horses to Fall Down.
A surgical operation upon a horse is
q difficult matter-first, because the
use Of anRsthetics is rarely resorted to,
in the case Of animal treatment, owing
to the peculiar sensitiveness OF theFani-
NAL mechanism, and, secondly, because
the absence Of the drug that takes
away the pain makes it necessary to 50
secure the invalid horse as to prevent
it from moving while under the knife
and thus fnjuring itself. II
Casting is the almost universal meth
cd Of securing a horse whenfit is to go
under the surgeons knife, says the
Chicago Tribune. II the tail, the head
or the breast is to be operated upon,
the stocks are universally used by the
veterinary surgeons Of America. The
horse is backed into a sort Of stall,
heavy beams forming it on either side

and a strong beam being placed cross
wise at the rear and In front Of the
animal. In this way he cannot posi-
bly, move either forward Or backward.
Then a huge cloth strap is fastened
underneath the horse and another over
his back, and he finds himself as solid
" wedged into the stock as an anchor
cemented In a rock.
His feet can then be readily tied SO
that he cannot move them, and the ami
NAL is all ready for the operation.
If the feet or legs ar to be operated
| upon or q serious operation is to be
performed on the animals body, then
| he Is cast on a bed Of sawdust in as
remarkable a way as the cowboys
throw their wild horses on the plains,
with the single exception that a wild
western horse can kick, while the horse
in the grasp of the modern veterinary
surgeon has no opportunity whatever
for any fancy movements Of his lower
extremities.
Minor operations are sometimes un-
dertaken without either casting or
chloroforming a horse, but this is d
dangerous proceeding, both to the
horse and to the operator, for there Is
likely to be some swift kicking as Q
as the point OF the knife touches the
horse.
One veterinarian recently extracted
a nerve from q horse, an operation
which is ar everyday occurrence with
veterinarians. and he used merely a
21h per cent solution of cocaine to
quiet the extreme pain caused by the
taking out Of the nerve. The animal
was neither cast nor strapped, but
merely received the injection Of the
drug and had his head fastened in the
"persuader,n which can be found in
every stable. The ~"persuader' is q
club or round stick, at mi end of
/ which Is a strong, smooth rope an
, eighth Of an inch thick. which is slip
, ped over the chin OF the horse and then
turned until another turn would cause
the animal severe pain. So severe
would this pain be that the horse does
not move, because q slight movement
on his part would cause the rope Il
tighten In an instant. This instru
ment is used especially with spirited
horses being cleaned or shod or wheI
they have their teeth extracted, 70,

In many instances the method of til,

Omaha, Oct. 24.-Assistant Secretary
OF War Meikeljohn arrived in Omaha
In an exhausted condition as a result
OF a five-hour frightful experience In
q cloudburst. Mr.. Meikeljohn mar
rowlys escaped with his life and lost
all Of his personal effects which he
carried with him at the time. He
was proceeding with driver in q
buggy from Stromsburg, Neb., to
Clarks overland after completing q
weeks campaign in Southern Me-
braska. Five miles from etroms-
burg, in the valley of the Little Blue,
when cloud burst directly over them.
The darkness was intense and the
road was soon five feet deep in water.
The driver lost his way and the horses
kept their feet with the greatest diff
fculty. The whole country was a
raging torrent. The trail was abso-
lutely Oblite4ated and any moment
the whole outfit was threatened. Mr..
Meikeljohn took his nightshirt, and.
smearing bottle of coslnoline which
he carried, over the article, wrapped
it around the handle of the drivers
whip. This was lighted, and by the
irnprovised torch held high above the
raging torrent by Mr.. Meikeljohn, the
driver slowly made his way forward.
For an hour the two proceeded in this
manner, several timaS the horses be
ing forced to swim for their lives. At
midnight they arrived at Clarks, Mr..

end Notice Difncult to Predict
when the End VIII Come.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. "a. President
sMitchell, In an interview. practically
admitted that the anthracite coal
miners' strike would end as soon as all
Ethe operators posted notice guaran-
Eteeihg the payment. of a 10 per cent
Eadyance in wages until April 1. Pres
ident Mitchell said: The prospect OF
! an early settlement of the coal strike
/ Is becoming brighter. Some of the
operators have not yet posted notices
3ignifying their willingness to fall in
line either with the Reading company
or with the proposition made by the
Lehigh Valley company in the Halle
ton region. If all of them notify their
employees by posting notices or other
wise that an actual advance of 10 per
cent will be paid each mine employe
and guarantee it's continuance unttl
April l. together with the abolition of
the sliding scale, I believe that the
terms would be accepted by the mine
l workekrs. The reduction in powder
Nom $2.75 to $3.50 has confused the
minds of the miners, but some of the
operators have so fully explained how
contract miners could receive. the fun
advance Of 10 per cent as well as all
other employees that I :believe this
Obstacles Can BE Overcome."
Although, as President Mitchell
says, the outlook for an early settle
ment Of the strike is bright, it is diff
fcult to make prediction as to when
the end will come. Some of the coal
companies are showing a disposition
not to issue a second notice guaran-
teeing the payment of the 10 per cent
increase in, wages until April. Among
these are the Delaware, Lackawanna
q Western and the Delaware & Hud-
son, the officials Of which companies
are reported to have declined to issue
supplemental notice. The labor
leaders, however, hope that the COM
pahies will in some way make known
that they will guarantee the payment
Of the advance until April i.
President Mitchell appeared quite
cheerful when he made the announce,
ment as above. and his manner indi-
Gated that the time is near at hand
when all the anthracite miners now
on strike shall return to the mines.
AS soon as all the notices guaran-
teeing the payment of the advance
until April are posted President
Mitchell will call a meeting of the
national executive board at which 1t
is believed the strike will be declared
on.
