Gluten Feed with Grain.

At the Cornell university expert.
ment station, test was made of the
comparative feeding values of ground
wheat and cornmeal, and also of n mix.
ture consisting of 26 pounds of gluten
feed and 100 pounds of cornmeal. The
gluten feed and cornmeal mixture was
prepared SO as to have the same nu.
tritive ratio as ground wheat. To each
of the three lots of animals skim milk
was fed alike. The results of the ex-
pertinent are reported in bulletin No.
SO. Wheat alone made n somewhat
better showing than cornmeal. "The
cornmeal lot consumed the least food
and made the least growth, while the
mixed corn and gluten meal gave the
greatest gain and produced cheaper
pork than ground wheat" The ex-
pei iment showed that neither wheat
nor corn, when fed alone, produced the
best results

Three Times Married.
KILLS WIFE'S STEPFATHER.
Metnmorn Und) Te1esrnpher. I'm Fla
of Jealous Rage, Vents Wrath
with Gun.

Metamora, Ind, April 14.-Crazy
with jealousy, Richard Oliphant, a
telegraph operator here, on Saturday
murdered Capt. Peter Pellser, his
wife's stepfather, who was assisting
her to leave her home. The shooting
was done on the platform of the rail-
way station in his wife's presence.
Then, after holding the town at bay
all day long with his shotgun, Oil
phant killed himself late in the after
noon by taking carbolic acid. Oil
phant was jealous of Richard McAntee,
fireman on the Big Four railroad.
Mrs. Oliphant and Capt. Pellser, her
stepfather, appeared at the depot
Saturday morning, apparently ready
to leave town. Shortly before train
time Oliphant appeared in the door
of the depot with double barreled
shotgun in his hands. His manner
was so threatening that it was
thought he intended to kill McAntee
as soon as he caught sight of him. To
prevent this some one ran down the
track, tagged the train and begged
the engineer not to approach the de-
pot till Oliphant could be disarmed.
The stopping of the train seemed to
heighten Oliphant's rage. He ran up
the platform to where Pellser was
standing, lifted his shotgun and fired.
The charge tore away Pellser's left
hand and the injured man fell, groan-
ing, to the ground. Mrs. Oliphant ran
in terror to the rear of the depot,
but Oliphant did not attempt to chase
her. Instead, he calmly walked closer
to Pellser and emptied the other bar
rel of the weapon into his back, just
to the right of the spinal column. In
few hours Pellser was dead.
Meantime Oliphant had barricaded
himself in the depot. He threatened
to kill anyone who approached. His
rawlings at everyone within hearing
were horrifying, but he did not shoot
again. Later in the afternoon, how
ever, when he had been quiet for
some time, officers crept up to the
building and gained entrance. They
found oliphant lying on the floor,
gasping in the death throes. The
empty bottle from which he had
taken the carbolic acid was beside
him

EPILEPSY IN HOGS.
This Disease, Commonly Known as
Blind StnEEers, Readily Yields
to Careful Trentment.

Blind staggers, or, in medical par
lance, epilepsy, in pigs, is quite COM
mon. 1t may be the effect of various
causes. In whatever way brought on,
the condition indicates imperfect nu-
triton of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN. This may be brought about by un.
duly stimulating food, as constant
feeding upon cornmeal, and confine-
ment. A wet, uncomfortable bed often
leads to the disease in young pigs. A
course of two close breeding develops
this disease. The symptoms of an at
tack of epilepsy are sometimes diff
ferent in different animals. Some
times the pig stands and froths at the
mouth, then, after few moments,
staggers and falls as if in fit. After
lying awhile, it recovers and seems
in its normal condition again, perhaps
for several days, when symptoms will
occur again, often proving fatal. Some
lines the pig forces his nose into
corner of the pen and stands trem-
bling for few moments, and suddenly
darts around the pen few times and
falls motionless upon the floor. When
symptoms VI staRSerS are ueNelOpcu
in small pigs they should be given a
good dry bed and ten or 12 drops of
chloride of iron twice day for a few
days in their food. AS preventive
when pigs show symptoms of disease.
withhold the food mainly and feed sui
phur and powdered charcoal for few
days. Supplying dry, comfortable
quarters and feeding the young pigs
with good supply of milk and occa-
sionally mess of boiled fiaxseed will
be particularly good, as containing
large proportion of oleaginous matter.
A few cabbages, grass and oatmeal are
helpful as varied diet. AS in many
other things due regard to their con-
dition that seems to prevent the dis
ease is better than to be obliged to
resort to the various remedies, and
then, perhaps. fail to restore the an
imal to health.-Eastern Exchange.

Duluth, MIMI, April 16.--A tele-
phone message was received to-day
from Eveleth to the effect that burg
lars, in attempting to blow the safe
of the Duluth, Messaba and North
ern railroad depot there, Monday
night, used such large amount of
nitro-glycerine that the building WAS
demolished and the safe blown to
atoms. No trace of the burglars was
found and it is not known whether
they were also blown to pieces or
escaped. Earlier in the evening the
Jail was burned and an unknown
prisoner was cremated..

Breaking n Colt to Halter Described
by n Man Who Had Consider
able Experience.

My weanling colts had never been
handled, and having run with their
dams until midwinter, were wild as
deer. To secure them until they be-
came quiet enough to be halted was
the problem. Take about 80 feet of
half-inch rope; knot one end, so there
will be no danger of it's being pulled
out of your hand by the plunging of the
colt. On the other end fasten a ia
inch halter ring, then tie knot in tho
rope, leaving enough beyond it to en-
circle the colts neck when drawn taut.
The knot prevents choking. Now tie
the end of the rope to the ring and y on
are ready.
Bunch the horses by throwing out
some feed in n large yard. Have an
assistant hold one end of the rope.
By moving carefully, you can soon
moose the colt. Let him circle around
until well tired out, before going up to-
his head. AS soon as possible, take
two half bitches, as shown in the left
hand figure, around his nose; take the
bend of the lower hitch, pass it under

MAY BE POSTPONED.
Time to Prepare the Louisiana Expo
sition Too short-Win Probably
he Held In 1904.

Washington, April 1.-THE Louis
lana Purchase exposition is to be post
poned until 1904. Announcement to
this effect will be made within the next
IS days. This is a statement made by
John NJ. Allen, after conference with
former Senator Thomas Carter, chair
man of the national commission for
the fair, who reached Washington Sat
urday morning direct from st. Louis,
where he conferred with the officials
of the exposition company. 1t is be-
lieved here that formal announcement
will be made shortly after the passage
of the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which is under consideration in the
senate committee on appropriations.
The bill carries an appropriation of
more than $1,000,000 for the fair. 1t
already has passed the house of rep
resentatives. Mr.. Allen has spent the
time since his arrival here visiting the
government departments and inform
ing himself as to the necessity of the
government in the preparation of its
exhibit He has been informed that
the government building cannot be
completed in time. He has learned
that there is general disinclination
on the part of foreign governments to
participate in the fair unless it is post
poned beyond 1908. He has found no
opposition on the part of anyone in
congress to postponement.
st. Louis, April 14.-Local worlds
fair officials do not indorse the state
ments made by National Commission
ers Allen and Carter at Washington
that because the United States gov
ernment. in addition to foreign gov
ernments, could not be ready for the
opening of the worlds fair in 1908,
announcement of the postponement
should be made. Several of the expo
sition officers were seen after the
publication of the telegram from
Washington and all maintained the
ground taken in the beginning, that
there need be no postponement un-
less such action is forced by the nom
action of those who must of necessi-
ty assist in the building of the fair.

Skirts are still built to cling closely
round the hips and back, which means
that the underskirt or petticoat must
fit equally smoothly without ruck or
wrinkle. From below the knee skirts
are very full, and in light materials
break out into an abundance of frilli-
ness that is really very fetching.
Dress skirts made of diaphanous
materials are often gauged at the
back, or fiat plaits employed to give
substance to the back width. There
is less tucking on skirts, but more
flounces and frills.
For country and morning wear
short all-round skirts with boleros Of
square-cut pretensions, or with simu-
lated basques, are seen in light
tweed, covert coating, linen, pique
and drill.
Blouses, or rather slips, as they are
termed, are daintiness personified in

quarter-inch tucks and yoke of cream

the other from the top downward, then
up over the ears, loosening the rope
in hand as you go. An excellent halter,
capable of holding anything, is thus
formed, as the right-hand figure shows.
If, after being driven around for some
time, he proves stubborn and will not
follow, take a piece of clothesline,
double it, tie knot on the double
end, leaving enough rope to slip down
over his hind quarters almost to the
hooks (the knot remaining over his
coupling), run the two free ends-one
on each side of his neck-through the
halter, and on feeling the pull behind
he will move. Never strike him, and
as soon as he yields little, pet him.
If the dams are worked, the best way
is to slip on halter when the colt is
only a few days old, and tie alongside
the mother; but if still unbroken, when
there is lots of snow on the ground is
a good time to work with the dams,
as the colt is not liable to hurt when it
throws ITSELF. C. Smith, in Farm

ASPHYxIATEO.
Four Persons Dead From Inhalin 2
illuminating Gas.

New York, April 16.-Four persons
were found dead last night in the
living apartments of Esther Kohen,
widow living on Third avenue.
They had been killed by inhaling the
fumes of Illuminating gas and so far
the police have given no opinion as
to whether or not the deaths were
the result of accident. The names
of the dead are: Esther Kohen,
aged so; Henry Kohen, her son., aged
80; Lena Kohen, her daughter, aged
II; Edith Flow, friend of the Ko-
hens, aged 16.
The tragedy evidently came Mon
day night, for the Kohens and their
visitor had not been seen all day.
Henry was in the bicycle business
and did not come to the store during
the day. Last evening his partner
went to the house and was told by
the occupant of another apartment
that an odor of gas had been noticed
all afternoon. He broke in the door
and Henry was found dead lying on
n lounge in the parlor, while the
other three were in bed in another
room. All the windows, fanlight and
entrance doors had been tightly
closed

Washington, April 16.-Secretary
of War Root has sent cable mes
sage to Gen. Chaffee, instructing him
to investigate the charges of cruelty
to natives by Gen. Smiths orders,
as testified to in the Waller trial.
son February 10 letter was sent
you, enclosing for investigation, copy
of charges made by Gov. Gardener,
of Tayabas province, which con-
tanned general allegations of cruel
ties practiced by troops on natives,
and generally of an insolent and
brutal attitude of the army towards
natives. On March 4 a cable message
was sent you directing disciplinary
measures to produce obedience to
the presidents instructions, subordi-
mating military officers to civil gov
ernment in pacified provinces, and in
structing you to relieve Maj. Edwin
i. Glenn and Capt. James A. Ryan
from duty and order them to Manila
to await investigation into their con-
duct, in accordance with instruc-
tions to follow by mail. On March
"a instructions were mailed you con-
tanning statement of charges against
these officers and Gen. Jacob IL.
Smith as the basis of the investiga-
tion ordered by the cable of March 4.
Further instructions in both mat
ters are required by the following
facts: Press dispatches state that
upon the trial of Maj. Waller, of the
marine corps, testimony was given
by Waller, corroborated by other
witnesses, that Gen. Jacob Ii. Smith
instructed him to kill and burn; that
the more he killed and burned the
better pleased Gen. Smith would be,
Monday, before the senate com
mittee on Philippine affairs, Ser
geant Charles S. Riley and Private
William Smith, of the Twenty-siXth
volunteer infantry, testified that the
form of torture known as the water
cure" was administered to the presi-
dente of the town of Igbarras, lloilo
province. under orders of Maj. Glenn.
Mai. Glenn is directed to proceed
to San Francisco and report to the
general commanding the department
of California, with a view to his trial
by court-martial under charges al
leging the cruelties practiced by him.
1.-The president desires to know in
the fullest and most circumstantial
manner all the facts, nothing being
concealed, and no man being for any
reason favored or shielded. He in
tends to see that the most rigorous
care is exercised to detect and pre-
vent any cruelty or brutality, and
that men who are guilty thereof
are punished. Great as the provoca.
ton has been in dealing with foes
who resort to treachery, murder and
torture, nothing can justify, or will
be held to justify, the use of tor
ture or inhuman conduct of any
kind on the part of the American
army"
