DEVELOPING THE COLT.

The future usefulness of the colt de-
pends upon nothing so much as the feed
during the first year of its life. To be
useful in any way horse must have
good bones, and, above all, good joints
Bones are built, like the rest of the body,
from the feed consumed by the young
animal, and if the food does not contain
the elements essential to the growth OF
bone it is evident that there will be a
weakness in this part of the organism
| The milk from the dam contains large
proportion of the most necessary mineral
substances, such as lime; but the colt
seems to require much more in short
time and may be seen trying to supple
ment this limited supply by taking oc-
casional mouthfuls of soil.
Probably no materials at the farmers
disposal contain more mineral or bone
forming material than bran and oats
and the colt should have plenty of these
and good clover hay from the start. II
is quite safe, as rule, to give as much
as two quarts of these concentrates mix
ed per diem as soon as the colt can be
taught to eat them, and this may be
gradually increased. The colts tempera
ment and character should be closely
studied, however, and the ration gauged
accordingly. These concentrates and
clover hay, being rich in protein, or flesh
forming material, induce rapid develop
ment of muscle, sinew and tendon, as
well as bone, and the right kind of feed
and nature will do the rest, so far as
bodily development is concerned.-Cana'

MULE PRICES WAY UP.

The war in Africa has wholly cleared
the West of small mules. The only
buyer in the Kansas City market who
takes smaller mules than the English is
the coal miner. The British buy mules
weighing from 700 to 900 pounds. The
big mules stay in the United States
Recently 100 mules were sold to sugar
planters for prices that averaged close
to Sl5S each.
Hardly a day passes without some
dealer selling a team of mules for $500
These are the biggest and best mules.
One mule that brings $3.50 will weigh az
much as team of army mules.
'Three years ago." said Charles NJ.
Sparkes, "the little army mule was
worth S45. The best price we talked
about for the large mule was 1925. Min
ers' were cheap, too. Within week
have sold miner that was no higher
than dog for 800. Now there is hard
ly a small mule in Missouri or Kansas al
any price. The British will have to take
large ones or do without. Kansas

BILL FOR july, '99
State Succeeds in Introducing It in
Megaarden Case.
PILES EVIDENCE ON TOP OF IT
Statement nv =. W. Brown That He
Did Work Charged For by
Sheriff.

Sheriff Megaarden's bill for July. 1899,
produced in court yesterday was admitted
evidence this morning. With the Dill
was admitted the commissioners warrant
The state then had another opportunity
of introducing some extremely damag-
ing testimony.
County Attorney r. H. Boardman read
from the bill that Sheriff Megaarden
charged the county for taking Mike
O'Brien and Minnie Mousse to the state
training school at Red Wing on separate
days and charging full railway fare, hack
hire, sheriff's fees and hotel expenses Tor
two trips.
j. w. Brown, superintendent OF the
training school, then took the stand and
testified that he had himself taken the
children to Red Wing, having come up
here for the purpose and had personally
paid all the expenses. Miss Grace john
stone corroborated Mr.. Brown to the Ell
fee. that he had taken the children to
Red Wing with her assistance.
A Hot Exchanges.
There were some hot passages between
Messrs. Boardman and Merrill and the
court was compelled to interfere. Once
when Mr.. Merrill had objected to evidence
regarding Sheriff Megaarden's signature
there was trouble.
Il should think you would get tired 0!
this horse play after aWhlle, declared
Mr.. Boardman tartly, looking at Mr.. Mer-
rill.
II am tired, extremely tired Of 1t, Mr.
Boardman," retorted Mr.. Merrill sarcas-
tically.
Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" interposed
Judge Pond, don't get cross about it.
Another Bill.
Still another bill was produced by the
state this afternoon John P. Blichfeldt
who made out the bill; John P. Wall, who
took the sheriff's oath, and G. S. Jelley.
who o. KID the bill, identified the bill.

= NEW CYCLE PATHS
City Engineers Recommendations
for the Current Year.

There are now about forty miles of BIZ
cycle path in the city. Probably another
ten or twelve will be added this year and
then, in the opinion of City Engineer Sub
lette, the city will be sufficiently COW
cred with bicycle paths to meet all de-
mands for some years to come, and he will
recommend that construction stop and the
city oonfne itself to keeping in repair the
existing paths. This work Will cost about
$40 per mile. he estimates. In his an
nual report OF the council he recommends
that new paths be constructed this year
as follows:
On Crystal Lake avenue, to connect with
the path built by the county to Osseo; on
Twenty eighth street, from Park avenue to
Hennepin avenue; on Fifteenth avenue SE
to Talmadge avenue, and on Tamadge avenue
to Twenty fifth avenue; on Nineteenth avenue
NE, from Fillmore street street to the stock
yards road; on Portland avenue, from Thirty
eighth street to Minnehaha boulevard An
other path is needed in North Minneapolis,
he says, to connect the Fremont avenue path
with THE Second street path; also one on
Franklin avenue. from Cedar avenue to the
river. The Lake street path, between Min
nehaha avenue and the river, will need to
be rebuilt this year, he says.

FRESH AIR At 'TONKA
HOW POOR FOLKS MAY ENJOY 1T
AIlce bingham Russell VIII Furnish
the Land-A PhiIanthropist
With Money Wanted,

Alice Bingham Russell believes there ia
an excellent chance for some philanthro-
plst to establish a fresh air station AT
Minnetonka which will enable hard work
ing, small salaried persons to put in a dav
and night occasionally at the lake at
nominal cost. There are hundreds in
Minneapolis with little money for recre-
alton who would avail themselves of an
opportunity to go to the lake if they could
ind some way Of avoiding prohibitive
prices.
1t is this class, that Mrs. Russell has in
mind IN proposing the esta blishment of a
lake resort, where meals and lodging
could be furnished at moderate prices.
BY way Of putting the project squarely
before the public, now that the Mills
hotel question is settled, Mrs Russell will
permit the use OF thirty acres of land
beautifully situated at Linwood on the
south shore, provided any one sufficiently
interested will guarantee the erection OF
suitable building. Mrs. Russell believes
that an experimental summer hotel or
club house, could be built for 1000.
The experience with outing stations
elsewhere, she says, demonstrates that it
would be feasible to provide a nights
lodging in Clean comfortable surroundings
for Is cents. Plain, wholesome food could
be served at CORRESPONDENCE low figure,
so that working girl or young man
on small salary could get away from
town on Saturday afternoon and spend
Sunday at the lake at a comparatively
small outlay.
While retaining the ownership Of the
land, Mrs. Russell would allow it's use
free Of charge.

DID WEST SAY lI?|
Startling Statement Of a West Muir

"0UGHT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED"
Further Evidence That March Struck
West After the Latter
4 Was Down.
special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 30-During the
cross examination of M: N. Waldo in the
West murder, case this morning there
was little ELECTED aside from what had
been told by the other witnesses. Re-
garding the remark that West made after
the shooting, however, Waldo sprung a
new one on the court and audience. He
stated that West exclaimed:
You 1870 ---7--, you ought to have
been dead long ago.
Witness said that he might have been
mistaken, but that he was very certain
this expression was used or something
similar to It,
H. q. Payne, a resident of Inkster, and
travelling representative Of Duluth
house was the next witness called. He
was with four other travelling men at
the south side Of the Decotah office on the
night of the shooting. His testimony was
about the same as that given by those who
had preceded him, though his idea of the
distance that the two men were apart
when the shooting was done did not agree
with some of the others altogether, as he
thought March and West were closer to-
gether than did the others.
The chief of police was the next witness
and he told of the arrest. He identified
the revolver he took from Vests pocket
on the might of the shooting and gave a
few other unimportant details of what
transpired after he arrived at the Daco-
tab.
Joseph Mcdonald Of Duluth, brother of
Contractor P. Mcdonald, was next called.
! He stated that after March knocked West
| down, he (March), had taken hold of the
| latter's leg and struck at his face with
his left hand, and later had struck him
! twice with his right hand.
| More witnesses were disposed of this
morning than on any day since the trial
started.

Judge o. B. Gould took his turn at in
vestigating the Red Wing training school
yesterday. He had four witnesses
from Minneapolis, all boys who had been
inmates. They We're Ernest Reed and
John Vaughn, both colored Harry Curry
and lad named Johnson.
Curry was one of the six boys who at
tempted to escape in the spring of 80. He
was caught by guard named Perkins.
Curry told Judge Gould that Perkins
dubbed him all the way back, that Davis,
the assistant superintendent, met him at
the door and beat him. Davis then made
him disrobe and put on thin night
gown, and then took heavy strap and
logged him with it. Next morning be-
fore breakfast Superintendent Brown
called him out and whipped him over the
palms with strap. He repeated the per-
Torrance after breakfast and then sent
him to,the kitchen and made him put his
hands in hot grease

CAUGHT IT ALL AROUND
Faces Two More Serious
Charges.

Joseph ]. McGregor met his Waterloo
in the municipal court yesterday. He
was convicted of embezzlement on a
charge preferred by J. A. Paterson and
was, given sentence Of $50 or seventy
five days.
McGregor is also charged with having
violated the liquor laws by selling liquor
on Sunday, and the city attorney threat
ems to bring suit against him for the vio-
lation OF the wine room ordinance. Nc
Gregor has for years been running a sa-
loon at 1O4 Hennepin avenue. which is re-
Barded by the police as one OF the most
Objectionable in the city. He has been
in court again and again on various
charges but has always managed to
escape someway or other with a fine.
The complainant in the case up this
morning came from North Dakota last
Wednesday and fell into the clutches Of
the saloonkeeper, who seems to have given
him SO much bad whisky that the man was
for several days in a semi-intoxicated
state, in which he was deprived of all his
valuables. The police say that when
Paterson came to them Saturday morning
he was just recovering from the effects Of
some potent drug. He was instructed to
KEEP sober pending an investigation. But
Saturday McGcegor again seems to have
dosed him with bad whisky and got him
to leave his watch with him, which he
subsequently refused to return, and was
arrested on the embezzlement charge.
The Plot Thickens.
It leaked out in the trial that McGregor
had been selling drinks on Sunday. AS
soon as the first case was disposed Of
Judge Dickinson instructed the clerk of
the court to enter charge against Nc
Oregon for violation Of the liquor laws.
His attorney, A. P. LOOMS, was much
excited and charged the court with ex-
ceeding it's authority. McGregor pleaded
not guilty to this charge and was. held
for trial Feb. 5 in 500 bail.
At this stage of the proceedings the city
attorney rose to say that he would short
ly prefer charges against the man for vio-
lat1on of the wineroom ordinances of the
city. Loomis made an appeal for a ten
day stay on the ENLIGHTENMENT charge,
which was granted with SIS bail.

OBJECTIONS WE'RE FREQUENT
State Had Difficulty in Getting Lam

State Had Difficulty In Getting Lam
gums Testimony In.
A long and tiresome skirmish took place
yesterday afternoon between County At
torney F. H. Boardman and A. Y. Merrill
over the evidence of Otto S. Langum re-
garding the proceedings of the county
commissioners on Aug Z, 1899. Mr.. Mer-
rill objected to the reading Of any por-
ton OF the proceedings and especially
such port ions as related to the allow
ance of the bill of Sheriff Megaarden for
the month of July 1899 on the ground that
the Mr.. Langum's notes were not the
official records in that they were not at
tested by the officers of the board, that
Mr.. Langum had no independent recollec-
ton OF what had transpired at that time,
that no foundation had been laid for the
evidence and particularly because the
matt ers therein were not germane to the
transactions alleged in the indictment
against Mr.. Megaarden.
The objections came every time the
county attorney asked the witness ques-
ton and they were almost invariably sus-
tanned by Judge Pond.
'It is very easy matter declared Mr..
Boardman, on one occasion, ito sit back
and make technical objections to every
thing offered in evidence, but I would like
to know what specific objections the de-
Tense has to this testimony and would
ask the court that the defense be com
PEELED to specify upon what ground the
objections are based"
Judge Pond said that while he would
like to do SO he had no power to compel
the defense to do moro than it had.
would you like to have us change
places with your" inquired Judge Steele
tantalizingly.
Langum's test imony was finally adj
mitted, but not before Mr.. Merrill had re-
quested that the records show that the de-
Tense excepted to the action of the court
in advising the attorney for the state how
to proceed.
