To Cure Halter BREAKING,

Horses are not naturally vicious, and
with proper attention in colthood bad
habits would never be found, says a
horse journal. The habits can gen.
orally be broken by intelligent man.
agement A very troublesome habit
is that of halter breaking. Once a
horse finds he can break the halter he
is everlastingly at it. To cure the
habit is not nearly SO easy as to keep
the horse from learning it. However,
two tried remedies for halter breakers
are herein given. Horses that are In
clined to pull and break their halters
when fastened in the stall have often
been cured in the following way:
Two straps are lightly attached to a
rope which passes through a ring fas-
tened in the end of the halter strap.
The halter strap passes through a ring
in the stall. II horse endeavors to
go backward suddenly he finds that
the harder he pulls the greater is the
tendency to draw his fore legs from
under him. A few attempts will cure
even the worst halter puller. Another
simple and effective method is worked
out by the use of long rope. One
end Of the rope is first attached to the
manger. The rope is then threaded
through the lower ring in the halter,
back between the front legs, then over
the BACK and down under the belly, be-

should be clean cut, with active, up
right ears. DR.. J. G. Curryer sums up
these different points in few words:
'The character of a brood mare, both
for constitution, soundness, DISPOSE
ton, habits and regular breeder, to-
gether with motherly inclinations and
good mixer, is an essential feature
that no one versed in the business
should overlook"
Now, having selected such an ami
NAL, let us take her to pure Arabian
stallion The result will be a horse
about fifteen and half to sixteen
hands high, weighing about 1900
pounds, with a fine carriage, plenty
of action and life, intelligence and mod
crate speed. When we consider that
the famous French coach horse was
produced by crossing an Arabian on an
English thoroughbred it seems that
the cross here suggested should give
US some excellent foundation stock.
The most promising young stations
should be kept and bred to trotting
bred mares While the result would
be more or less an experiment 1 think
it would be worth trying, and any
one who succeeds in producing a fine
American coach horse should receive q
rich reward,

Breeding the
Coach Horse.

Now that horse breeding has once
more become worth while, the oppor-
tunity for some enterprising farmer to
raise fine coach horses was never bet
ter.
There are several ways of making
start, writes a breeder in Country
Gentleman One can go to the city
market watch the, sales and pick up
good mare about fifteen and one-half
hands and with the general conforma-
ton of the horse shown in the Illus
tration from Sanders "Horse Breed
ing"-an example of the French coach
type. Such mare must have style,
action, ranginess and finish if she is
to be a profit maker. Her feet, even
though they may be temporarily in
bad shape from pounding the pave
ment, should be made of fine dense
material, with fine, strong bones in her
legs and clean, strong joints. The hair
should be soft, the skin plant and fine;
bright expressive eyes, fine head, well
set, upright ears and fine hair in the
name and tail.
such a mare will cost about $3.50, and
when bred to a French coach stallion
her offspring will be something worth
owning.
Another way to start, which to the
writer's thinking would be more in
teresting, would be pick out a big
rangy mare of the trotter type, with

PERISH IN IRON MILL.
Worl1men Caught I'm Shower of Molten
Metal

An explosion caused by the upset.
ting Of the metal pot in the No. l cu1
pola of the Standard Steel company
at Butler. Pa, Sunday night caused
the death of four men, fatally injured
twenty and seriously hurt twenty 9TH
ers. Nearly all the men were foreign
ers
ished, causing loss estimated at
100000.
The dead: Nick Dorna, Nicholas

The condition of the twenty men
injured is pitiable. Although alive,
the features of a majority are mutt
lated beyond recognition. The hot
metal was showered over them, caus-
ing horrible injuries. Arms, fingers
and ears were torn off. while a num-
Der of the men lost eyes burned out;
several men are in the hospital with
their legs burned to crisp.
The explosion was caused by the
upsetting of metal pot in the cupola,
which contained 5000 pounds Of molt-
en- metal ready for casting. A span
In the pot broke, allowing the liquid
iron to spill over the wet sand. An
explosion followed SO quickly that
none of the workmen in the building
had chance to escape. Streams Of
the burning metal poured out on the
workmen, some of whom were en-
quilted and literally cooked. Twenty
men near the cupola had every shred
of clothing blown off by the explp-
sion. Many were buried under the
wreckage and were not rescued until
an hour after the catastrophe.
Buildings in the city, from the force
of the explosion. shivered as If shaken
by an earthquake, and people rushed
from their homes panic stricken.

FIERCE BATTLE IN PRISON.
A Convict Makes Desperate Break foi

perate effort of the latter to make MS
escape, is vet alive, but is believed 10
be fatally injured At the best the
changes for his recovery are against
him. D.,
The stabbing of the steward was the
elimination of one of the most des-
perate efforts ever made by cohVlo'
to escape from the penitentiary, Ames'
who is serving a twenty-year term lor
mansaughter committed in Lyman
county, had been working in the penl-
Tertiary shirt factory, but on the pre-
text that one of his legs was palnlns
him he was permitted to return 10 ms
cell. There he forged an order Tor q
broom, and with Steward Gill went 10
the store room to secure it.
While Gill was STOPPING over, Ames
suddenly drew a small case knife from
its place of concealment about his
clothing and plunged it into the back
of the steward He probably aimed
for the stewards heart, but missed IL
by about two inches or Gill would
have been instantly killed. Gill turned
Just as Ames raised the knife for
second blow. The first blow appar-
emily had turned the sharp point OF
the knife, for the wound made by the
second blow was not as deep as the
first Before Gill could grapple with
the desperate convict he was stabbed
the third time, the knife blade enter
ing his chest For few minutes the
two men fought a thrilling battle, but
the loss of blood had weakened Gill to
such an extent that he was finally
overpowered.
The convict was painting on top OF
him and gripping around for the knife
which had been dropped during the
fierce hand to hand fight, when Guard
Mcqueen appeared upon the scene and
rushed upon Ames just as the latter
was drawing a dangerous looking
"billy" from his sleeve for the pur-
post of beating the remaining life out
Of Gill.
Ames' purpose in attacking Mr.. Gill
was to secure the keys which the lat
ter carried and with them effect his
escape from the prison.
In the event that Gill dies Ames
will Immediately be arraigned on the
charge of murder.
Last spring Ames made an attempt
to escape, but was recaptured.

PARMLEY ENUMERATED.
Charges Against the Pcnitentiary
Warden COlIapSe

The state board of charities and cor
rections held meeting in Sioux Falls
for the purpose of investigating
charges which recently were made
against Warden II. T. Parmley, of the
Sioux Falls penitentiary, but through
the failure of those making the
charges to appear and testify no in
vestigation could be held. The coli
lapse of the charges is taken to mean
that Warden Parmley has been fully
indicated.
The charges against the warden,
which We're of a serious nature, and
which involved alleged cruel treat
ment of prisoners in the penitentiary,
were made by Henry Peterson, of this
city, former deputy warden of the
penitentiary, and more recently
guard at the institution, and Robert
Adams, an eX-convict who recently
was released from the penitentiary
after completing a term of imprison-
ment.
The board issued an invitation to
Mr.. Peterson to appear and offer tes-
timony in support of his charges. but
he sent the board a letter refusing to
appear and therefore no further ac-
ton will be taken by the board in the
matter of the proposed investigation.

The system of registration used in

been devised to prevent any lineup OF
rush at the registration office at Pierre,

most Of the work being done by nu-
merous notaries scattered in the bust
ness part of the city, who are allowed
to axe affidavits and file them for their
clients. Judge Witten. who is in
charge of the work, says the present
plan has grown up out Of the expert
ence of past openings and is intended
to save any delay which would mean
a long line at the office, and at the
same time give the fullest opportunity
for. everyone to get in his papers. The
total Of the first day was 5S5, with not
more than twenty at the office at any
one time. If the record of the day
shall be kept UP the registration will
reach near 1000 Monday trains came
in crowded to the steps, and those who
came report many others on the way.

tration.

The approval at Monday evenings
ton Of the Anglo-American project for
obligatory arbitration is regarded as
great victory, especially for the Unit
ed States.
The first proposition on this subject
was presented to the conference on
July by the American delegation and
Joseph III. Choate.
The project was approved by ma
jority greater than was hoped for.
II is essentially American, and it's
basis, the enunciation Of compulsory
arbitration, was taken bodily from the
American proposition. The vote Mon
day was 81 yeas and nays. The coun-
/: tries in opposition were Germany.
Austria Hungary, Switzerland, Bel
GUM, Roumania, Greece, Turkey, Bull
garia and Montenegro.
Another great success for America
was the unanimity with which the
countries of the American continent
stood firmly at the side Of the United
States.
There was a long debate on the ar
ticle referring to other cases to be sub
mitted to arbitration, and it was de-
cided TO vote on each Of these sep
arately.
During the recess the chairman, M.
Bourgeois. asked Joseph III. Choate
and Gen. Horace Porter to meet him
before the reassembling of the COM
mittee to discuss the whole subject
President Nediloff has approved the

MoRMONs ARE DRIVEN OUT.
American Missionaries Are Expelled
from Germany.

Three American Mormons have been
expelled from Germany as the result
of persisting, despite warnings prohib-
iting the spreading Of their propagan-
da, in conducting river baptisms and
making converts. They were arrested
and summarily taken under guard to
the frontier
The imperial authorities decided in
1908 that it was not desirable to allow
the Mormons' agents to continue activ-
ity in Germany, but owing to repre-i
sensations of the American embassy in
Berlin and Chief Missionary Cannon.
whose field of activity is central Eu-
rope, with headquarters in Berlin, the
foreign office allowed Mormons a
month in which to settle their affairs
and leave the country. There were
at that time fifty Mormon missionaries
in the various German states and the
grounds for the expulsion were that
their teachings were contrary to pub
lie morality and social order. 1t was
also agreed with Cannon that all Nor
mons who are American citizens
should discontinue PROSECUTING in Ger
many German converts, of whom
there were several thousand, and who
continued to follow the new faith UNI
der native pastors, were subjected to
various police hindrances. Cannon
moved the central European head
quarters to Switzerland and. it Is un-
derstood, has since returned to Salt
Lake City. 1t is now presumed his sue
cessor is re-entering the German field
for Mormon missionary work. from
which formerly many women con-
verts were sent to Utah.
