HorgesI,oelnp Rack

Shoeing fractions horse Ia not n
task to be envied by anyone, and there
is always danger of accident to the
man who performs the work In the
ordinary manner, as the animal seems
possessed of the idea that the hoofs
were made to defend itself. To over
come these difficulties John Cea, of
Grundy Centre. H., has designed the
horseshoelng rack shown in the Illus
tratlon, the inventor claiming that the
mechanism will hold all parts of the
animal securely in any desired posi-
tion. at the same time relieving the
horse of all strain and deprivIng 1t of
the power of inJuring itself or the

vided, which will not only firmly hold

Distributed by Railroads.

Close observers Of such things have
found In and near the yards of trunk
line railroads many plants not natives
Of the locality. 1t Is evident that the
eds are brought by the railroad cars,
which thus act rs distributors Of plants
thousands of miles from their natural
habitat. Many of the plants flourish
in their new home, and gradually
spread over the surrounding country
In the Mississippi Valley plants are
found that were thus brought from the
Atlantic seaboard, from the Gulf re.
gion, and from the west side of the
Rocky Mountains. 1t Is well known
that cattle from the West and the
Southwest bring seeds of plants in
their hoofs to the East, and thus sup
plement the constant efforts of nature
to propagate species.

Only the other day nm unhappy man
In New Hampshire city shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself
When dying he told his friends that
the mania to kill had been born In his
heart under the influence OF the gossip
Of ncighbors. He knew nothing
against his wife. but the Whispering
OF persons he believed to be friends,
and doubtless who thought themselves
his friends, made him mad, ana nc
killed the woman he loved.
Be wary Of the tale-bearer, who ap.
proaches you in the guise or friendship
to speak Ill of another. The person
who listens willingly to gossip Is as
bad as the gossiper. II we cannot
speak well of another why speak of
him at all? Silence hurts no one. Idle
talk often breaks heart, Iuins a
home, or takes life. Gossip blIghted

laid the lovers cold In death. Gusslp

dangerous because common vice, aud

MR.. MONNETT'S REPLY.

Attorney General Sheets had gained
nothing In puplic esteem by his crit
icism of Attorney General Monnctt for
having favored the prosecution OF tho
charges against the Standard Oil and
other trusts.
Despite their anomalous verdict In
the elections of last November, the
people Of Ohio are not In the habit Of
condemning officials who honestly try
TO enforce laws enacted for the public
welfare, nor are they given to ap
plauding officials who ignore popu.
lar laws that they may gain the favor
Of the privileged interests.
This may bc instanccd by comparing
the general popular regard In which
Mr.. Monnett Is held with the
contempt that exists for the trust,
menial, Mr.. Sheets.
But that even such disgusting sub.
serviency as Mr.. Sheets has shown for
the trusts is not always appreciated
by his supcrors seems to be evil
denced by the plans now afoot In Mr..
Hanna's party to give his place to an.
other.

Columbus, Jan. 9.--Former Attorney
General Monnett, who was covertly
criticised in the annual report Of his
successor, Judge John NJ. Sheets, as
reported in yesterdays Democrat, last
evening made fierce attack upon the
present Attorney General and his ac-
ton in dismlssing the famous trust
cases. MI. Monnett said, in part:
attorney General Sheets has filed
his annual report with Governor Nash
and given it out in the way of self
justification. In order to cover up
disqualification has been spewing
his foamlngs out on the ex-Attorney
General and his assistants, and by in-
ference is claimed to have had the
endorsement of all of the former en-
ployes, such as Kinkead and Mr.. Ben
nett, and that they are on their knees
to him and occasionally, with their
mouths in the dust crying, 'unclean
unclean,' and that there is but one
God that monopoly and trusts and
Sheets is its prophet profiU.
"lhis is the first time in the history
of the Office that the incoming officer
took upon himself the burden of re,
porting his own years doing, as well
as the preceding year of his predeces.
sor. 1t Is in the line of his written
opinions of the past year that have
been the amusement of many Of the
courts and county officials and will be
taken equally seriously. The absurdity
and falseness of part of his insinua-
tions in reference to the prosecution
of the Standard Oil company for con-
tempt for court need but be refuted
by the facts.
Under the statue, the Attorney
General of the State shall prosecute
corporations offending against the pro.
visions of their charter and prosecute
them when thew misuse their fran.
chlse, privilege or right conferred upon
them and the same shall be done and
the prosecution shall be begun by the
Attorney General; or when upon COM
plant the Attorney General has good
reason to believe that n corporation
has violated the provisions of its char
ters and violated the laws of the
State, 1t becomes his duty to commence
such an action"
