Facts About Horses.

Some people say it is good plan
to Gross English Shires with
OIydes.
If 6lly is strong and large she
may be bred at two years, but it is
generally better to wait another
year. It means stronger colts.
Silsge may be fed to horses in
small quantities, provided it is
absolutely sweet; if not, it is
dangerous.
No good farmer thinks of selling
hog without fattening him. Then
why not fatten horses for the mark

The Arab always gives his mare
a run of five miles just before she
is to be bred. Mares that are work.
ed regularly while in heat are surel
of their foals.
It does not hurt mare to give
her moderate work mp to within 6
week of foaling.

LETTER NO 81

Sir:-On the eve ofelection the

nor as saying that he "saw no
cause for Alarm" but those, re-
garded as lawyers by lawyers, do
see great cause for alarm and, if
the demurrer is overruled next
March, then unless Dawson
knows of some defence, not yet
suggested, even he will see great
cause for alarm. Hence, the i'm
portant question is,-if the demur-
rer be overruled? As reported
by the papers this demurrer sets
up five grounds:
First:-That the courts lacks
jurisdiction to give ajudgment
against a state for money. 1t is
true that the articles of confeder-
alton restricted federal judicial
power, as between states, to con-
troversies, respecting boundaries,
but, since the eleventh amend

of Judge Wilson in Chisholm
vs.. Georgia, and South Dakota
VS.. North Carolina, settled that q
money demand is a controversy
The writer does not believe that
this ought to be law, but it is law
and hence the first ground of de.
murrer will not avail.
Second-That suit was brought
without authority. This is un.
doubtedly true, but the Virgins
attorney general certifies the con.
trary, and the commission, being
thereto advised by competent
lawyers, assume that the court
will not go behind the certificate
of the highest state official. The

cept the states welfare, they
Would offer large reward for an
invnlnerable defense, and would
appoint a commission of the
ablest and most trusted men in
West Virginia to manage this
matter. No business man toler-
ates that narrow-minded, bitter
partisanship which risks sacrific-

considered that, in this age OF
graft, the average politician has
no thought except to fortify the

are not seeking graft, to take this

Among their many other good
qualities there is one in which the
towns and cities of West Virginia
shine with ever undimmed lustre
Thet is the unswerving loyalty of
their people to their prosperity of a
community than to have its praises
constantly sung by the people who
live init. Bad points exist in every
CITY, large or small, but in West
Virginia you can't extract a word
except it be Iaudation. Even in
Charleston, where the water cup
ply is abominable, and typhoid
fever RACES the whole gear around,
the people talk as if it YES health
resort.
One result of these fsots is that
West Virginia towns are growing
in wealth and development at ar
amazing pace, Even Huntington
devastated by misquitos as ig az
English sparrows all summer. and
the dreariest spot on earth all
winter, is growing by leaps and
bounds.
A. city is simply large collect.
ion of families. and the same policy
that keeps families happy and
prosperous will do the same thing
for .,ities. A man who goes ouI
and l,ays unkind things of his wife
and children, and complains
publ oily of his domestic effairs, ii
not looked on with much satisfao
ton by his neighbors. And thu
citizen who puts in his idle hour'
finding: fault with the town il
which he gets his bread and butter
is not much better than the othel
fellow.

Instead of crying "Goi Go" thu

5000 To Anyone Who Solves the
Mystery.


man who can solve a mystery for
Ebenezsr Curry Washington
county Pa, farmer. heir to big
estate and at present almost a fit
subject for mad house
Curry inherited 100 acre farm
in Washington county from rich
bachelor uncle. Rughey McGowan.
who died less than year ago.
"Old Man" McGowan. as he was
called. has many relatives residing
near him, but he left the bulk of
his property to Ebenezer Curry, a
favorite nephew, who resided in
Ohio. on condition that he live one
continuous year in the old farm
house. and do not sell the GOAL
underlying the farm for less than
$500 an acre.
MoGowpn's neighbors had sold
their coal for smaller sums. but the
rich bachelor. believing that they
had disposed of their coal too
cheaply, had refused to sell under
$500 an acre.
Curry gladly accepted the terms
of the old mans will and few
months ago took up his residence
on the McGowan farm, about 10
miles from Washington Pa. The
day after he was settled on the old
place he found tackled to his front
door piece of paper on which had
been written Look out for the
arrowI"
He was puzzled. but gave the
warning no attention until it was
repeated at frequent intervals in
various ways. Shortly afterwards
| he found valuable horse dead in
field and on its left flank had
been brsnded an arrow. while close
by was written the old warning on
a piece of paper.
Misfortunes began to fall on
Curry. His stock mysteriously
died, and on the flank of each dead
animal would be found freshly
branded arrow.
Curry kept watch day and
night. hoping to catch some mis-.
oreant at work but always failed,
and still his stook decreased.
More recently small stable on
the MoGowan place was burned
down and conspiouously posted
near the building was u piece OF
paper on which the following in.
scription had been inscribed;
Watch for the arrow"
Within the last few days sheep
hogs and cattle owned by Curry
have been dying rapidly, evidently
from some disease resembling
rabies. On each animals flank
however. has appeared the imprint
of the fateful arrow and Curry hal
been driven to the verge of mad
: ness.
The Pittsburg & Buffalo Goa
Company short time ago offered
Curry $4,000 for his 100 acres o
GOAL land. Curry could not acoep
the offer as according to the term

Toilette is endorsed by every I'm

IN both parties relies on political
machine to shut out honest brains
from the public service. It ia the
political machine which has 30 de-

bellion against public fioials who
sacrifice the people to strengthen
the machine from which they ex

abolish political machines.
West Virginia is in imminent
danger of crushing Judgment.
and this danger is the greater be.
cause the managers of machine
politics have evaded discussion
before voters 1t is suicidal to
shut our eyes to the situation. The
fact that politicians are silent
proves that a powerful aud malign
influence is behind this Virginia
debt suit. But many Roosevelt
Democrats and many Roosevelt
Republicans in this state are moi
asking reward and are independent
of both frowns and favors. It they
get together West Virginia will be
rescued. If this matter becomel
understood all thinking men, who
are not grafters, will rally to the
support of those members of the

disease may gradually spread up the

outbreak here.

The smallpox is raging here. 1t
is raging worse in Wenatchee. There
