ut hardly seems necessary to say any
thing upon the subject, but as this
article may be read by the novice in
such matters, it may be considered
proper to say that if in training
show horse 1t is discovered that his
gait Is uneven, /. e.. that ne raises
ore front or hind foot higher or diff

should be added to the foot dis

weight should be increased until the

true IT should be gradully taken off,
as weighing horses for the showing
is not allowed. It rarely happens
that horse is unevenly gated in
either his front or hind feet. but it
does frequently occur that his knee
and mock action are not in harmony.
and when this is the case. weight
should be adjusted to the defective
action until it is corrected.-C. II.

To Organize State of Lincoln in

Spokane. Wash, Feb. 12.-Pro-

to form the new state Of Lincoln out
Of portions of eastern Washington
the panhandle Of Idaho and north
eastern Oregon The committees Of
the Spokane Chamber OF Commerce
and the $4,000 club will meet the
second week in February to arrange
for a convention of delegates from
the various cities and towns in the
district outlined. The convention
will be he'd the middle or latter part
of March when the campaigns will be
decided upon. There are some who
believe that the chief opposition to
the new state will come from tne
senators in the eastern an dNew Eng
land states as the railroads in those
states do not want two more west
ern representatives In the senate.
This is based upon the fact that east
ern senators have been fighting the
admission of territories for the reas-

does not intend to allow Il any more

Starts Congressional Investi-
cation
Northern Pacific May Lose Charter
i'm Wisconsin and Millions in
Land Grants.
A RAILROAD WIZARDS WORK

Washington, Feb. 12.-Some i'm
portant developments are expected
this week before the committee OF
Pacific railroads OF the senate, wher
the resolution introduced by Senator
Hepburn a few days ago, asking fol
a congressional investigation of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
comes up for consideration. The
charges in the resolution challenge
the legality Of the company under
its present charter from Wisconsin
and, If proven true, will force this
great traDscontinental line into H.
quotation.
Further If the allegations should
be established, 1t would lay the ba-
sis for action by congress repeating
the original act chartering the North
ern Pacific Railroad company, which
would carry with It the forfeiture OF
so much of the 40,00O,00O acres of
land grant to that company which
had not been va,idly patented previ-
Gus to 1875. and actually cloud the
title to every foot of this vast tract.
If pressed home, the investigation,
It is said. also would reveal some
startling moves in high financial cir
cles, that would involve many of the
Heading figures in the political and f.
nancial world.
In the preamble to the resolution
the startling statement is made that
the value of the property OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
at the time of the receivership, which
began in 1894 exceeded the indebt-
edness of the company by 1915, OOO,-
900; that when the company was re-
organized in 1896 stock and bonds
were issued upon the property to the
amount of $685., 100000 which was
$50, 100000 less than the appraised
value and ssO.OOO,ooo more than

Training Heavy Harness Show Horses
The principal essential qualities
of high-stepping show morse are
good conformation. perfect manners.
and evenly balanced gait, and ability
to go good pace. Good conforma-
ton is. of course, natural gift. and.
un.ess the animal possesses it In a
reasonable degree. it is useless to
spend time and money in training it
for the show ring. Some horses win
display an evenly balaced gait unas-

some will not, and wnen the candi-

PLACING ORDER FOR SLAVE

treat you, choose slave with small
ankles, not larger than you can span
with your thumb and middle finger. My
wife will care less about very small
waist, though If it be naturally slender
it is certainly point of beauty. In all
this, dearest sir, employ for love OF me
those gifts of discernment with Whlcn
heaven has so richly endowed you and
/ trust you will consider the commission
fair one. Sebastian Corner who Is
an old man, will take charge OF the
slave and bring her to Venice, II you
will only see that she is properly pro-
tected and fed until he is ready to sail,
and this at the usual rate. | have also
agreed with him that she is not to be
lodged in the common cabin with the
other female slaves whom he will bring
from the Black Sea on his own account
but separately and with better food, lest
she should grow unpleasingy thin. Yet
it is understood that his regular slave
master Is to be responsible for protec-
ton. and will watch over her behavior
during the voyage. This, my most worthy,
dear and honorable sir and friend is the
commission which 1 beg you to under
take; and in this and all your other
affairs I pray that the hand of provi-
dence, the intercession of the saints and
the wisdom of the one hundred and eigh-
teen Nicene fathers may be always with
you. From Venice. Marco Pesaro to the

New England Yorkshire Pudding.

From the January Housekeeper
l often wished to have on my table the
famous pudding which accompanies "the
roast beef of old England" but in my
modern American kitchen / had no way
OF suspending roast over the batter
while cooking. Besides my taste ran to
light fluffy things made with baking pow
der and my one attempt at using the
old English recipe for Yorkshire pudding
turned out a heavy, soggy affair. One
day l used a little ingenuity with my
recipe and since then the pudding has
been a welcome addition to a roast beef
course in my home. / take pint Of
sweet milk, "a pinch of salt. three beaten
eggs teaspoonful of baking powder,
and enough flour to make batter OF
the consistency OF pancake batter / pour
about one-fourth of q cupful OF hot gravy
from the roast into a hot dripping pan,
put the batter in, letting the fat gravy
spread to the sides OF the pan, and then
| scatter more gravy over the batter
in little puddes, and bake 1t twenty
minutes in a hot oven. Cut into squares
with heated knife and served with the
roast beef as hot as possible, 1t Is very
palatable.

FIFTY YEARS OLD
Anniversary of Fifth Baptist Cele-
brated by Congregation.
Payment of the Entire Floating
Debt a Feature of JubiIee-His-
tory of Organization Read.

Rev. Or. Weston Bruner, pastor and
a full congregation, including many Wis
itors. celebrated last night the hftleth
anniversary of the birth of the Fifth
Baptist Church, at the corner OF Sixth
and-a-half and Z streets southwest The
service was an impressive one, and lasted
far beyond the usual hour. Special music
was rendered by the church choir, in
Guiding two solos. one by Mrs. Pearl
Grigsby, and a duet by the Misses
Grigsby.
c. Clinton James, clerk OF the church.
read a paper entitled Fifty Years of
Church Life, IN which he gave the his
tory Of the congregation from the time Of
It's inception as a separate church to the
present day. The paper recounted the or
ganization Of the church, which was, at
the time, known as the Island Baptist,
from its location in the Seventh ward, on
what was then called the Island, in the
southwest section. The paper also re-
cited the church's work, the accomplish
ments Of its committees. and the upward
progress Of the building and selection of
the erection Of the present handsome
structure. This move. it was set forth,
the church was driven to by the railroad,
which built a roundhouse IL the block on
which was the old site This resulted IN
four suits, the church finally winning its
case in the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
Dr. BrUner preached the sermon. which.
aside from it's religious aspect. dwelt on
and elaborated this paper and emulated
the character of its first servants. He
pointed out what was TO be done in the
future to make the church the ideal as
planned and seen by DR.. Meador its FIRST
pastor. who served for many years.
Dr. Bruner announced the fact that the
church has a sufficient sum to pay the
entire floating debt, and will do so in
celebration of the jubilee, thus leaving
the property free, except for the mortgage
debt.
