Winter Cure of Horses.

The first thing to do for your horse
is to see that he is comfortable. A
stable free from leaks, free from
draughts, good dry floor for his feet
and plenty of good clean bedding.
If you wish him to look sleek, have
him well blanketed and give him ex-
ira care with comb and brush. AL
ways take his blanket with you when
you drive him, and if he is to stand a
few moments throw it over him.
Examine his feet often, keep them
free from ice and his shoes well sharp
ened
Don't give him warm water to drink,
nor don't let it be ice cold. In either
case it would be misery to him.
If he has chopped feed and meal and
bran, it would be as we'll to have it
mixed with hot water, for then it will
be comfort to him and can be eaten
before it can be frozen.
Naturally he will require more food
in the winter than in the summer and
corn will not harm him in the cold
weather-its heating and fattening
qualities being needed.
In winter it will pay we'll to attend
to the little things which make the
horses comfort.

Bile post of inspector general of cavalry,

patkin, who is an infantry specialist:
Nicholas is one of the few Grand
Dukes who married a commoner, ana
though his marriage has not been re-
corded, it is none the less happy
one. His wife was the widow OF d
wealthy merchant named Bourenin.
With Gen. Kuropatkin's appoint
ment as commander-in-chief of the
army and the presence of the Grand
Duke Alexis in the Far East, the
opinion is strengthened that while Ad-
miral Alexieff may remain as Viceroy,
the active direction of operations viii
pass out of his hands.

breach of neutrality proved Intellectual
because the American commander

KUROPATKIN WILL
REPORT TO THE CAR.

Paris. Feb. 22.-The Echo De Paris
st. Petersburg correspondent says
with regard to the rumors in circu-
lation that the appointment Of Gen.
Kuropatkin to the command of the
Russian army in Manchuria meant that
viceroy Alexieff was losing favor, that
the truth is as follows:
When the war broke out the Car
asked Viceroy Alexieff whether he
deemed it necessary to send general
to command the troops, and if so,
whom he preferred. The Viceroy re-
piled that he considered it necessary
to have a chief commander of the
troops, but that he had no preference
as to who should be selected. The
Car thereupon asked him whether
Gen. Kuropatkin would be agreeable,
and the Admiral replied: Absolute
ly, but l beg your Majesty to dis
charge me from all responsibility for
the land operations, leaving these to
Gen. Kuropatkin."
Viceroy Alexieff retains the viceroy-
ship, but Gen. Kuropatkin is empow-
cred to communicate directly with the
Gar.

Indianapolis. Ind. Feb. 21.-The Ma

manufacturers and business men of

President D. M. Parry said: "An

of a scheme whereby a bureau of
tabulated information may be kept in
reference to men who are the fountain
heads of riotous strikes. The public
has the opinion that we are opposed to

markets usually supplied by the

DEFEAT OFTEN HELPS

Yesterday the Daily Alaskan had something to say about the service the voters of the state of Washington would be doing for the republican par ty of their state'if they would elect Elk Senator Turner to the goyernorship and three or four of the others on the democratic state ticket. Time and again it has been demonstrated that when the affairs of a political party fall into the hands of incompetent or cor rupt leaders or where those in control become careless of their conduct there is nothing like defeat for the purihea- tion of the party or as a moral stimU- lent for those who have ceased to he vigilant in well doing. This has been proved iu many places. The two de- feats for Tammany in a single decade resulted in that organizations giving Mayor Mcclellan to the people Of the nations metropolis, and he is giving them an administration, admitted by those who opposed his election, to be the best the city has had in score ot wears. The defeat of the democratic ring in San Francisco placed the demo- cratic party in tbat city in the hands ot Phelan, Lane, Tobin and others of equal high standing. Similar instances could be cited without number,
