of their comrades.
For the first time since the inception
of the strike, the state troopers then
opened fire on the mob. Six strikers
fell at the first round. Three of them
are reported fatally shot.
The members of the mob then
opened fire with rifles. Two mounted
troopers dropped from their horses, ia
tally shot. They were taken to the
Ohio Valley hospital in a dying con-
dition. AS an ambulance made its way
from the car plant to the hospital car
rying the wounded troopers, the
vehicle was attacked and the driver
forced to fee for his life. The fright

ambulance plunged wildly in and
about the crowd.

At last Fridays sale we. had more
eastern buyers than we have had since
the spring season. Several Ohio and
Pennsylvania buyers of feeding horses
were on hand. The only trouble with
the sale was we didn't have horses
enough by half to supply our buyers.
There were in attendance several
buyers. for small horses and mules for
the southern trade, and these men
asked me to notify our people that the
southern market Is now opening up
and that from now on throughout the
fall they will attend the sales regu
larly and will buy horses for the
southern markets.
In fact the first of September always
marks a change in the horse market,
a livening up In demand for almost all
kinds and as the weather has changed
for the better, we expect more activity
and larger supplies at future sales
Our next sale is on Friday Septem-
Der Srd. which is the opening sale Of
the fall season and should be good.

LAWN LINING FOR THE YOKE
Simple Adjustment That Makes for
Perfect Fit and Comfort Of Sum-
mer Dress.

Often a summer dress is ruined by
the fit of the yoke; it bitches or rides
in a way that is as uncomfortable as
it is unsightly. The easiest way to
remedy this defect is to have the
yoke made on fitted lawn lining
which buttons around the waist. This
should have horizontal seam run
Just about the bust line to take in an
extra fullness.
If the lining seems too warm, or is
too much trouble to make. the yoke
can be attached to sort OF harness
made with belt of tape to which are
Joined vertical straps attached to the
bottom of the yoke.
Even easier is 1t to sew tabs Of tape
or muslin to the bottom of the yoke.
These can be securely pinned to the
corset without tearing the yoke itself.
1t is good idea to fasten the small
est sized safety pins to these tabs SO
that they are always in readiness.

PILLOWS OF VARIOUS KINDS.
Properly Scented, They Actually Are
Valuable Aid Toward Inducing
Refreshing Sleep.

Take your choice Of pine or laven-
der. You will need one of your own
to slip into your trunk for the sum-
mer trip or to use on the porch ham
mock or couch.
When made for the bed they are
incased in strong muslin covers.
Over this is drawn pretty little
white slip of the sort used to cover
baby pillows.
For couches and out Of doors more
serviceable materials are used.
For pine pillows cover of natural
colored linen, embroidered perhaps in
wood brown, is pretty.
Grass green linen is also suitable
for the purpose and cool looking.
The lavender pillow should be in
cased in lavender. embroidered in a
lighter shade, or one of the pretty
white cretonnes. covered with sprigs
of lavender.
The pollows are not only pleasant
to have, but they frequently are an
actual aid in producing refreshing
sleep, since certain odors are known
to have a soothing effect.

wyomina,s Big Hay Crop.

Prof. w. H. Olin, who had been to
Arlington, Wyoming. brought to this
office yesterday morning some speci-
mems of grasses takes from Mr.. Jo-
seph Dixon's ranch near Arlington,
which go to illustrate the bountiful-
ness of the crops this season in wy
oming, says the Laramie Boomerang.
The names of the various grasses
and lengths to which they had grown
are given below:
Native browne. 3k feet; alfalfa,
over 1 yard long; Brownies Sacalinus,
3k feet; mesquite grass, Is inches;
native red-top, 1S inches; native tim
othy, Is to 1S inches; six types of
wheat grasses, 21k to 3k feet; blue
grass, 20 inches; barley, bearded. 31a
feet; cultivated timothy, disked in as
native meadow and mixed with our
best native meadow grasses, 8 to 4
feet long all over the field.
Mr.. Dixon has field which sixteen
years ago was plowed and seeded to
timothy which has maintained splen-
did growth ever since.
AS wonderful as the above record
of Wyoming grown grasses may seem
they are only fair representations OF
the general growth of grasses in
southern Wyoming this year.

In many stables the ventilation pro-
vided is largely the result of accident
rather than of a prearranged plan.
The idea seems to be not how to ad-
nit a supply of pure, fresh air but
how to keep 1t out. AS a consequence
the animals are breathing over and
over again the same air which gradu-
ally becomes poisoned with an excess
OF carbonic acid. Moreover, the at
mosphere is likely to become laden
with disease germs, breeding tubercu-
losis. anthrax. glanders, etc. During
the summer the subject presents few
difficulties. By throwing open the
doors and windows to the action Of
the breeze. the air is kept continually
pure and fresh.
How are we to harmonize the de-
mand for fresh aid with the demand
for warmth without sacrificing too
much of either? Three other re-
quirements there are which must be
taken into account before any system

necessary, repeat the dose in half an
hour, adding one ounce of the tincture
of aloes. AS soon as symptoms of
collie are noticed give. one pint of
good whisky mixed with half ounce of
pure ginger This may effect a cure
at once. All medicines should be
carefully given. By moderation in
working when weather is hot, care in
feeding and watering, the harvesting
and working of the crops may be
done without injury to the teams. A
good horse should be given good
treatment. 1t will pay to do it.

ANNUAL SCARCITY

No Clean, Careful Man Willing to

In this disease prevention is much
better than cure. Collie is prevalent
in hot, sultry weather, and may be
prevented In most cases by care in
feeding, says the Baltimore American.
When green, succulent grass and
clover or partly cured hay Is fed. collie
is common. 1t is caused by the pro-
duction of gas in the stomach and in
testines from the fermentation of the
food or by permitting the horse to
drink too freely Of cold water when
tired and exhausted by severe labor.

NEW IDEA IN SHIELD COVERS

ciennes Lace Hostess Made
Pretty Gifts.

A hostess recently made hit with
set Of prizes that appealed to her
women guests. With lawn and rem
nants of valenciennes lace and inser-
ton she made two sets of shield COW
ers for each prize. one to fit the me-
dium-sized shield and one the next
size smaller. which many women pre-
fer with transparent frocks.
The covers are made in double bag
form, cut the shape of the shield. but
a little larger. SO that they can cas-
lily be slipped inside. The back OF
the shield is made of plain lawn. while
the front is trimmed with rows Of in
sertion and edged with lace. Some
times the insertion outlined the shape
of the shield, again it ran diagonally
across it.
The covers were placed In dainty
tissue-lined box and each one was pro-
vided with the smallest white safety pin
for easy adjustment.

than is required for this purpose in
order to serve as feed chutes. The
in the wall about 20 feet apart and ex-
tend like chimneys well above the
caves. Each has square or oblong
opening near the floor and a smaller
one near the ceiling. While the flues
are not essential to ventilation they
no doubt increase its efficiency. Their
installation is based on the principle
that while in theory the stable impur-
tiles diffuse throughout the warm air
ton through the foul air shafts, in
practice small portion frequently
falls to a lower level and may be TAX
en- up by the flues.
1t will be seen that by this method
the fresh air is admitted below the
heating area, as in a furnace. 1t is
distributed evenly and without drafts.
1t is liberated at the heads of the
cattle, giving them a chance to use it
before being mixed with the stable
gases. The system is automatic in
its action; the more stock in the
stable the stronger the convection
current and the more fresh air intro
duced Making the foul air shafts
sufficiently large to be used as feed
chutes is weak point. There is dan
ger of an occasional down draft which
causes the whole system to go on
strike. 1t is the generally accepted
rule that the total area of foul air
shafts should be from one-fifth to one
tenth greater than the area of inlet
pipes, since the warm air leaving the
stable occupies greater space than the
cool air entering.

Amethyst the Color.

At the spring opening of tha Paris
theaters it was shown that the dress
makers there have gone quite wild
over amethyst. Both tones OF this
semi precious stone are used. There
is the deep, rich purple and the pale
hyacinth. Both are popular. and are
brought out in every kind of fabric
Lovely as these shades arc, they
will not stand the heat of the Amer

OF ventilation can be called complete:
u) A constant change of air in the
stable. (2) The introduction and dis
tribution of fresh air without
draughts. (3) The removal ot foul
air without condensation and conse-
quent dripping.
OF the many systems devised most
of them fulfil some of these principles,
comparatively few all of them. Some
are very simple. but only partially ef-
fective, others are quite effective, but
too cumbersome and expensive for or
dinary farm buildings.
A system installed on farm near
Tillsonburg. Ont, seems worthy OF de-
scription. Based on accurate scien-
tific principles, 1t has given excellent
results, is practical and withal may
be SO modified as to match the needs
and pockets of the average farmer.

To prevent the open ends plugging
with dirt they are protected with
woven wire covering. While keeping

retard the free circulation of air.

admitted to the stable is prominent
