Alleged Attack on Guards at the
Mckinley Vault Never Took
Place.
From Facts so Far Brought to Light
They Say it is improbable
Affair Occurred.
Rum0r of Personal Quarrel Between
Two Soldiers Guards
Story.

Canton, O., Oct. 1.-Friends of the
family of the late President Mckinley
do not believe an attack was made on
the guards Sunday night with the in
tention of destroying the vault. They
do not attempt to explain the strange
story of the guards or account for the
firing of the shot which the cemetery
officials and others near by say they
heard and they do not believe that
two men would undertake to make an
attack on the vault with 20 soldiers Oh
guard or near at hand. 1t is believed
the military authorities will make a
thorough investigation of the story
told by the soldiers bn guard Sunday
night.
There is an unconhrmed rumor that
the shot was the result of a fall dur
ing a quarrel between two OF the
guards, The officers have instructed
the soldiers not to talk and the story
Of the soldiers on guard Sunday night
could not be secured until the officers
got their report from them, and while
the omcers declined to be quoted the
statements were made with their
knowledge and in their presence.
None Of the omcers would express an
opinion as to what the object of the
intruders may have been and they also
instructed the men not to communi-
cate with outsiders. The few persons
who succeeded in gaining admission
to the cemetery were directed to the
omcers for all information and the
guards were directed not to talk Of the
incident among themselves while out.
siders were present. This is said to
be in accordance with military regul--
tions.
Shortly after noon Captain Biddle,
commanding the guard at Westlawn
cemetery, thanked the reporters for
the fair and correct manner in which
they had described the Incidents at
Westlawn cemetery Sunday night.
He said: AFTER a careful investiga-
ton think the sentinel deceived him
self in the occurrence. I do not think
1t probable that an attack such as he
stated actually occurred. When day
light came we could find no traces of a
struggle"

STORY TOLD sY GUARDS.
Alleged Attempt to Dynamite the Nc
klnley Vault.

k1nIey Vault.
Canton, O., Oct. IAN attack was
made during the night on a sentinel
guarding the rear of the vault, in
which the body Of the late President
Mckinley rests, by two strangers, the
one engaging the attention OF Sentinel
Deprend and the other making a per-
sonal assault. The explanation given
IL that an attempt was made to blow
up the vault with dynamite.
Guard Deprend, about 7:45 O'clock,
saw prowler in the rear OF the vault
behind tree and in q shadow. He
challenged the fellow, and the man re-
NAMED motionless behind tree. He
was then about 40 feet from the SOL
der. Deprend advanced, made sec.
ond challenge, and brought his gun
time had lodged away to second tree
about 10 feet distant from the first.
The soldier renewed his challenge and
fred, but as he did so hard blow was
given the gun and his aim missed. A
second man had stealthily come up to
the soldier and dealt the blow. At
the same time man number two struck
the soldier with a heavy instrument in
the back and attempted to stab him.
A cash. IL" shaped and about two
inches long, was cut through the cloth
ing, including the overcoat, and
small scratch was made on Depends
body The blow was so hard that De-
prend was knocked down small hill
and was unable to gain his feet before
the fellows disappeared in the dark
ness. Lieutenant Ashbridge, who was
officer Of the day, as soon as he heard
the challenge and shot, rushed to the
assistance Of the guard. He was FOL-
lowed by other soldiers.
The sentinel attacked, however, was
in the rear of the vault on hill and
before relief force could climb the hill
the men had escaped. A hunt was
made for the providers, but no trace
could be found of them. The vault is
but short distance from the west
edge of the cemetery and the men ev-
identity escaped from there into the
fields and woods near by.

The Cow and Her mixer.


Compatibility of temper must exist
between the COW ard her mixer to Sc
cure the best results. Many cows are
very uneasy when being MIXED. They
keep stepping and shaking their heads
as If something was not right. No
cow which manifests these symptoms
Is doing her best. Not only will the
quantity of milk be affected, but the
quality cannot fail to show marked
depreciation from what it naturally
should be.
A change in mixers will often do
wonders In bringing the COW up to her
best. Nervous cows ana nervous milk
ers do not go well together. Often the
nervous mixer will make the COW
nervous. 1 have known some cows to
be almost spoiled in that way. BY
taking the COW from the man who ex-
cites her and giving her to one who by
his quiet ways end uniform kind treat
ment Is able to soothe her the fow OF
milk win be largely increased and the
butter value largely augmented.
BY the exercise of care we may In a
few years breed up herd which Will
possess superior dispositions. Certain
breeds are more inclined to be nervous
than others, and some argue that this
temperament Is mark Of q superior
COW. If that Is true 1t would not be
wise to brt ed that disposition out of
our herds. But 1 think we should
study hrst of all our own natures. The
quick tempered man should not pos
sess or manage dairy of high strung
cows. He will find his highest success
with herd OF slow going. peace-lov-
ing animals.
But. after all. we must admit that
there is need OF a thorough schooling
on the part OF most of US TO bring out
the power of self control while In the
stable. There is altogether too much
scolding. loud talking and other mani.
festations Of i'll temper among those
who handle our cows. All this should
be strictly forbidden in every stable.
Nothing should be permitted to dis
turb the quiet OF tie herd while milk
ing. At no time should dogs be al
lowed to trouble the cows. There is a
natural antagonism between cows aud
dogs.-E. l.. Vincent, In Agricultural
Epitomist.

Protected Watering Trouebs.

Water for stock should be kept clean
and cold. A water trough in which
ducks have been padding and on
which an August sun has been beat
ing for hours is not an attractive
drinking place for animals. Where
large tanks supplied from a wind
wheel are needed. and especially if
they are metal tanks, they should be
boxed in. a good plan being shown In
the engraving. If horse and cattle
yards are separated, the tank may oc-
cupy a place in the fence between
them. The inclosing box is brought
in the square to a level with the tank
and then rooted over at an angle of
from thirty to forty-five degrees. At
each end n section of the roof Is
hinged, and may be thrown up against
a strip directly over the ridge of the

Salt For Mich Cows.

The statement by Professor Robin

that their milk will have better flavor.
whether 1t is because the salt has an
effect upon the bacteria or from other
cause. But we were not prepared for
his statement that COW required
about one-fourth of n pound per day
to do her best We never gave so
much when we added It to the mixed
feed, nor did they eat as much when
it was put in u box in the shed for
them to eat 1t as they pleased. Yet it
may have been due to the difference in
locality. Upon the eastern shores of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island the
sea breeze may have brought deposit
OF salt on the grass that nearly sufIiced
for their wants. After the storm in
which the lighthouse on Minots Ledge
was wrecked it was reported that win
dows facing the east, ten miles from
the ocean, had a perceptlble coating
of salt, and we have seen wells Of
"brackish" water that if a COW drank
her fill ct them she would need no
other salt.-Boston Cultivator.

Absorption of the Yoik.

Another phase of constitutional
weakness in the young chicken is the
failure to absorb the yolk at the nor
NAL rate. Just previous to breaking
the shell the chick takes into the body
cavity the large unassimilated rem
nant of the yolk of the egg. The point
at which the abdominal walls meet
after closing in the yolk-sac can be
plainly seen as bare spot. the navel.
'The yolk-sac thus within the body cav
ity is connected with the intestine by
narrow tube through which the
liquefed yolk enters the cavity of the
intestine, which 1t Is dlgested and alb
sorbed. This, as is well known, is the
reason why chicks require no food for
at least twenty four hours after hatch
ing.
For the next two or three days, as
the chick acquires strength, the yolll
is supplemented more and more by
food from external sources, and nor
mally, at the end of perhaps a week,
the yolk has practically all been alb
sorbed. If, however, through anatom-
ical abnormalitles. inherited weakness
or other cause the chick fails to assim-
ilate the yolk, 1.-The bird does not get
the natural food, and may thus be
weakened, and at length the unab-
sorbed yolk decomposes and poisons
the chick. This is the most prolific
cause of "bowel trouble" Many
breeders have remarked that chicks
hatched from eggs which have been
subjected to much variation of tenn
peraturc in the incubator are most sub
ject to "bowel trouble" and that this
may kill almost the entire hatch. The
cause was found by us to be in the
non-absorption of the yolk. This hap
pened in large proportion of those
chicks which died previous to hatch
ing and 1873 per cent. OF the hatched
chicks examined showed abnormali-

IL the pedd!er calls upon one any
day and offers at counter-bargaip
prices ceramic antique. he should
be shown the DOR politely but firmly.
He is humbug and his goods are
bogus. The demand for specimens of
carly ceramic art Is so much larger
than the available supply that un-
scrupulous potters the world over are
finding profitable work in counterfeit

English productions. One concern has
turned out some capital copies of the
old Roman pottery, and by some
chemical process has succeeded in Civ
ing the exterior the grimy and honey
comb appearance which comes norm
ally from long burial in wet soil.
France, Italy and Germany have
turned an honest penny In this line of
work, while the kilns of Egypt and
Asia Minor are said to produce relics
Of the Pharaohs with considerable sue
cess. American potters, it Is admitted,
have yielded to the temptation but
thus far with but little success.
Strange 10 say, their work has beer
so good that il has sold on account OF
its beauty rather than It's resemblance

this kind Oi workmanship Is found n
a small dark-red earthenware dish,
