making pub.Ie librar,ss.


NE most Important snestioa far
the public nbrary ID What books shall
ws buy! In many towns the reading
committee Il . recognized adjunct Of
the library. and the librarian has the
verdict Of several different minds for
AID In his task of selecting new books.
Most Of the voluntary readers are like
" 70 be women. and the service they
render the community Is q real one.
II their judgment and taste are sound.
On the other hand. q complaisant
commendation of a book as very In
teresting' may do actual harm when
the book lies in the debatable land be-
tween bad and good-the land OF cur
rent fiction and trashy juveniles. A
great meeting of English librarians
recently set forth some general prin-
ciples which should help determine
the desirability OF books, says the
Youths Companion. First, they de-
clared the notion exploded that 4
taste for good reading develops from
reading poor books. The very con.
trary is true. The habit of reveling
In cheap fiction is destructive Of
wholesome pleasure In sound read
ing. The love Of books, like the love
OF virtue, feeds in high. clean, sweet
pastures. not In refuse, and not even
on husks. Again. the demand for GER
tain books does not require the public
library te supply them. 1t is specious
argument that the taxpayers money
should answer the taxpayers desire.
More than 60 per cent of the books
drawn from public libraries are works
OF fiction. The thin, tasteless stream
OF modern fiction is too often ths L.
brary's chief offering to the communi.
ty. Certain libraries adopt the rigorous
measure Of buying no fiction until 1t is
year old. The librarians agreed that
the rule Is an excellent one, IL 1t is
slightly elastic in it's actual applica-
ton. At all events, the helpful ad-
visory reader for the public library is
the man or woman who believes that
In proportion as good book is .
blessing, poor book is a curse.

Examiner Changes lie Tune.

San Francisco, Cal-For more than
year the Examiner has kept up a
bitter attack, not only upon Heney,
but upon Spreckels, Burns, Langdon
and all others connected with the
prosecution. Cartoons have been used
almost constantly to belittle the graft
fighters. For many months the Ex-
aminer has run this line on its edi.
torial page:
1T is 755 days since the prosecution
began and no one is in the peniten-
tiary yet"
The figures were changed daily.
Saturday for the first time this line
was missing. A two-column wide edi
torial said this of the man the paper
has tried in every way to belittle:
"The attempt to kill Assistant Dis.
trict Attorney Francis j. Heney by an
ex-convict at the moment when Heney
had brought Ruef to the prison door
and seemed to be in the very act Of
thrusting the arch-grafter into the
place where he belongs, is one of the
most regrettable occurrences ever
Witnessed in San Francisco or any
other city. The speed with which pun
ishment is meted out to the man who
struck down Heney will blaze on the
world with the cpeed with which pun
ishment shall be meted out to the
grafters."

Heney is now resting easily in the
Lane hospital, and the physicians say
his wound is not fatal. Haas is in the

Heney, as he lay on the operating
table, said: Il will live to prosecute

The assassin is a saloonkeeper, who

having been temporarily passed by
both sides, was exposed by Heney as
an ex-convict.

VETERINARIAN SAWS VI is AT ANY
TIME WHEN The HORSE
WANTS WATER.
so DOES JACK SPLAN
ONLY DANGER Is IN ALLOWING
THE HORSE TO GET TOO x
THIRSTY.
By F. w. Culver. NJ. d. c., Colorado

Agricultural College.
A horse should be watered before
feeding, and never given large guam
tity of water after meal, for the
simple reason that the water will wash
the food out of the stomach before
stomach digestion has taken place Nnd
the food will not be well prepared for
absorption; and besides 1t is some
times the cause of collie.
There is popular idea that warm
horse should not be allowed to drink
and, unlike great many other popular
ideas, there Is little truth in 1t. If
you water a warm horse in the ordi-
nary way. letting him drink all that he
will, you are likely to have a foundered
horse on your hands. This Is espe-
cially &c. IL, at the time, the horse is IA
tjgued. Nevertheless, 1t is always safe
to allow him from six to ten swallows,
no matter how warm he is. II this be
given on going into the stable and he
be allowed to stand and eat hay for an
hour and is then offered water, he will
not drink nearly so much as he would
had none been given before.
The danger is not in the first swal-
low. as we often hear 1t asserted, but
in the excessive quantities he will
drink If not restrained. The most
dangerous time to give a. horse a full
draft is when he has cooled down from
fauguing work and has partaken of
meal.
John Splan, the great trainer, writes:
AS to water, think that a horse
should have all that he wants at all
times. A man says: Why; will you
give your horse water before racer
Yes, before the race, in the race, and
after the race, and any other time that
he wants to drink When say give
your horse all the water he wants be-
fore the race, do not mean that you
shall tie him in warm stall where
he cannot get drink for five or six
hours on ho3 day, and then take him
to the pump and give him all that he
wants. What l mean is to give him
water often and. in that way, he will
take only small quantity at time"
After long, continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted Of fluid.
Nature calls for its replacement, and
this Is the cause of a thirst which
Is 80 intense that, IL the animal is not
restrained at this time, he may drink
much more than he needs.
The general custom, almost univer-
sally followed, of giving the morning
meal before water, is not very objec.
tionable, either theoretically or
practically. At this time there is no
depletion of fluid, consequently the
horse is not very thirsty and does
not drink rapidly or excessively, and
apparently very little evil results from
this method. However, the writer
much prefers that the horse should
have an opportunity to drink before the
morning meal
Personally, much prefer keeping
horses, both summer and winter, in
an open shed, with large water tank
In the yard, to tying them by the head
In barn. This brings us to the ar
rangement Of farm buildings, which
hope to discuss in some subsequent
paper.

ILLEGAL FISHING CONTINUES.
Clear Lake Law violators Boast o.
Their Catches.

Mason City, June 2.-It is eviden,
that IL the stories that are going the
rounds at Clear Lake are true that
illegal fishing is still being done there
in spite Of the fact that the recent
visit of Fish Commissioner Green OF
Sioux City frightened most of the law
breakers and that now since the sea-
son is open man must be very bad
indeed to violate the laws The state
law says that no one shall catch more
than forty game fish in one day 1t
is asserted at Clear Lake that pair
of Ventura fishermen have boasted
for the past week that since the sea-
son has opened they have never caugh!
less than ninety-siX fish in one day
and that several times their daily haul
has been over 200.
Fish Commissioner Green will re-
turn to this vicinity Immediately af-
ter the primaries to be present at the
proceedings against Fred Green and
he will undoubtedly look into the
case of these Ventura men who have
so openly and persistently violated
the state fish laws.

COAL SHORTAGE FEARED.
Shipments to Be- Delayed During
Summer, Say Dealers.

Cedar. Rapids, June lit is not the
most cheering news that comes from
the east to local dealers with refer
ence to the coal condition. and from
present indications it would seem that
a coal famine during the coming win
ter cannot be averted. According to
the news received here from the east
only 100000 tons of coal had been
moved by boat from Ohio and Lake
Erie ports The backwardness of the
vessel people in furnishing boats is
charged to the industrial situation in
the east. The late reports of the adj
vance in freight rates also is having
an effect and it is difficult to tell what
will happen. AN advance of prices by
the first of June is one of the predic-
lions made.
The anthracite producing companies
by demanding settlements with them
should be made within 80 days, have
brought about policy that collections
must be kept up practically to the
minute The standing of various deal
ers and the industrial status of the
city in which the coal dealer is located
were taken into consideration. The BIZ
luminous operators withdrew their
former practice Of giving six months
time on ex-lake coal and have refused
to make contracts with concerns in
the country whose standing has not
been determined. 1t is stated by one
trade journal that mining companies

the state was succession of blunders
and the more he talked the worse
he has made it for Allison.
The last break the Allison people
made was the claim that a late picture
OF Allison taken by Harris & Ew-
ing, of Washington, was a fake, had
been dcctored to make him look old,
and finally that it was not picture OF
Allison at all, but was a picture of
Senator Platt, of New York, who is
not as old as is Allison. Finally they
circulated a picture of their own
which they claim is genuine and
which makes the aged senator look
even older than the picture which
they Claim is fake.

might keep track of each other.
Sometimes these letters have passed
between them several times a year,
and always, for the fifty three years
that they have been apart, once a
year.
David Wilson is in the service OF
the English government, and James
is retired. They will visit for Just
twenty five days, the length Of David's
leave of absence, and then each Will re-

TURNER DEFEATS "TuHk ALI.
Third Mattel, at GrinnelI Gives Entire
Satisfaction-Othe News.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June 2-The third match
between George Turner and "Turk
AIR before a Grinnell audience, took
place last evening, and Turner proved
In this instance to be t'ae better
wrestler. Turner won the first fall in
thirty minutes and eighteen seconds,
by a half Nelson and "crotch hold"
and the second in succession in four
teen minutes and fifty seconds by the
same means. The work was clean and
fair, and highly satisfactory to the au-
dience, who were evidently largely in
sympathy with the home man. The
audience was not SO large as on the
two previous occasions. but was far
more demonstrative, and the wrestlers
were evidently spurred on to do their
best work. Two preliminaries preceded
the main match, Brinley and Young,
two lads Of Grinnell, working twenty
minutes and forty seconds for a draw
in the first bout, and each winning
fall in the two succeeding bouts, fol-
lowed by two bouts between GRADER
Of Newton, and Decatur OF Grinnell,
GRADER winning in both cases in ten
and nine minutes respectively, with
Parker for referee in both cases.
Preparations are already being made
for the erection Of another business,
block on the immediate north Of the
present business buildings on Broad
street, by Coutts, Boyer and Clark.
The building is to be high one story,
"a feet in width by 80 in length, with
a foundation of cement blocks and SUI
perstructure of Omaha brick, with a
fine cemented basement under the en-
tire building. Work will begin at once,
and the building should be ready for
occupancy in the early fall.
Voting began early this morning,
and has proceeded vigorously and the
prospect is that one of the largest
votes ever polled in Grinnell may be
expected, with both sides confidently
claiming the victory until the votes
are counted.
