Edging around in front OF the animal
the reporter saw that sure enough tube
had been inserted in the windpipe mid
way between the head and shoulders,
through the opening of which the horse
was inhaling and exhaling oxygen with
all the force and capacity OF black
smiths bellows. A little inquiry elected
the facts from Mr.. Woodin. The horse
"a fine large black had formerly been
used as a bus horse for the Bellows
House in Rock Island. Some two
months ago the animal had Il violent at
tack of epizootic-so severe, indeed,
that the larynx, or opening OF the wind
pipe, had been swollen shut, and the
horse seemed likely to die of suffocation.
He was then taken to Matt. Fishers
stables, in Davenport, where veterinary
surgeon cut the windpipe as described
aud inserted siphon-shaped silver tube
about six inches in length, through
which the animal obtained his allowances
of air. The tube has a thin facing, to
which the straps are attached which
keep it in place. The horse does not
suffer the least inconvenience from the
arrangement, and is as full of life as
ever. 1t will be seen that by this mode
OF treatment all strain is removed from
the obstructed larynx, leaving it in the
best possible shape for doctoring. AS
soon as the swelling subsidies and the
natural passage. is again open, the tube
will be removed, the hole sewed up ana
the horse is himself again. As we have
said the horse was used at the Bellows
House before his sickness, but when
Mr.. Jarvis, the present proprietor, took
charge, he shipped the animal down 70

Christian Heinecker was born at Lu-
beck on the 9th of February, 1921.
When only ten months old he could re-
peat every word that was said to him ;
at twelve months he knew the principal
events in the Pentateuch by heart at
two years he learned the historical parts
of the Old and New Testaments'; i'll his
third year he could reply to most ques-
tions on universal history and geography,
and in the same year he learned to speak
Latin and French in his fourth year he
employed himself in the study of religion
and the history of the church, and he
was able not only TO repeat what he had
read, but also to reason upon it, and ex-
press his own judgment. The King OF
Denmark wished TO see this wonderful
child, so he was taken to Copenhagen,
there examined before the court, and
proclaimed to be wonder. On his re,
turn home he learned to write, but his
constitution being weak he shortly
afterward fell i'll. He died ON the 27tl
of June, 1926.

future which the girl would have re-
belled against from the first instant of
their inception had she but known
them.


One of the hardest lessons that parents
must learn is the everywhere patent
fact that children have wills and in
clinations of their own, and cannot be
construed into machines to follow, like
automatons, in the wake of plans, how
ever strictly they may be laid, unless
those plans are in accordance with their
natural dispositions. Most children are
born rebels. Their mothers rebelled
against their very existence, and in so
rebelling, impressed them with innate
antagonisms which no whip or rod,
however Systematically applied, can
eradicate.


Until race of men and women is
born upon the earth of race of free
fathers and mothers, free alike from
their own evil desires and the restraints
that ignorance and prejudice impose
upon them, it is idle to expect better
children than the world knows to-day.


The excitement and fatigue of the
long journey across the continent pre-
vented Martha from growing thor
oughly morbid. Her feeble mother,
exhausted by long years of unquestion-
ing and uncomplaining servitude, was
like an infant upon her hands, and
there was too much camp work and re-
sponsibility of every kind upon her
shoulders to allow any lackadaisical re-
pining of the die-away sort. She pos
sessed a vigorous constitution, too, and
was in that respect far superior to her
younger sisters, who were the product
of later and more exhausted period in
her mothers life.


Passing over the many fatiguing and
exciting events in their long, varied,
and yet monotonous journey, behold
them at last, after nearly six months of
plodding, painful travel, resting their
teams and invigorating themselves in
the beautiful valley of Grand Ronde.
For days before they had journeyed in
the farther eastern portion of what was
then known as Oregon Territory, and
what is now a fertile, though broken
region, abounding alike in plains and
mountains, farm and stock range, but
what seemed then as vast desert, fitted
only for the abode of Indians and wild
coyotes.


Grand ROnde Valley was at that time
an Indian reservation, or sort of neutral
ground, upon which many tribes annu-
ally gathered themselves together to
fish and hunt; and no matter what their
animosities when outside the pale of
this valley, while enclosed within its
amphitheater of mountains, they were
always at peace.

If there is anything too mean and

He will destroy friendship between
two people quicker than the black mur.
rain will go through flock of sheep.


If you desire to live at peace, and TO
keep your friends your very own, avoid
a "Go-Between."


If you have a friend, and you have
anything on your mind which you de-
sire him to learn, tell it to him YOUR
self. DO not employ A. B. or G. to go
to him and garble your statements, and
impress his own construction upon what
you said.


Go yourself. Attend to your own bus
mess especially when that business in
wolves friendship.


1t is an old saying, and it is a true
one, that "dog which will fetch bone
will carry one; ;" and when your "Go-
Between" comes to you, and draws his
face down and tells you that he heard
Smith say that he felt as if you sighted
him at Mrs. Jenkins party last week,
just you tell him that your affairs with
Smith are none of his affairs, and that
you and Smith can settle your own bus
iness.


Never talk to one of these nuisances
about your friends. Even if you saw
only good of them, it is liable to be mis-
construed; for it is almost impossible
for a "Go-Between" to tell anything
just as it is. He is generally endowed
with lively Imagination, and his tai
ent for establishment has to be kept in
running order by practice.


Above all things, there should never
be "Go-Between" where a husband
and wife are concerned. More homes
have been broken up in this way than
in any other.


If your wife has faults-and whose
wife has not ?-never tell them to "Go-
Between" You had better cut your
wife's head off and done with it, for
practically both courses of action would
amount to the same thing.


And we would say just so to the wife.
If your husband fails in the standard of
marital excellence, keep it to yourself.
If you tell Mrs. B., or Mrs. G., of it, in
less than a week it will be all over town
that you are sorry you ever married,
and that Mr.. A. is a brute, unfit for hu-
man society, and that you are thinking
of getting divorced from him right off.


By all manner of means, let every
body avoid "Go-Betweens," and if you
have got anything against any man, go
to him and tell him yourself, and have
the thing done with.-Rdte Thorn, in

In paper presented by NJ. Moison to
the French Academy of Science, some
interesting information is given con-
cerning the use of sea water in bread
making, in France and Spain, from
which it appears that, along the entire
coast of the channel, sweet water is
used for the leaven only, and pure salt
water for the dough, the bread thus
made having just tue necessary degree
of salinity. When, however, sea water
is used for other culinary purposes, the
result is a disagreeable failure-the ad-
vantage in the case of the bread being,
apparently, that it undergoes a peculiar
change, caused by certain of the salts
dissolved in sea water, which change
would not, for chemical reasons, be
likely to take place in any dissimilar
admixture.


1t is suggested that probably the
chloride of magnesium, which imparts
to the sea water its acrid taste, is decom-
posed at the high temperature to which
bread is exposed in the oven; in such
case, magnesia would be produced, the
effect of this being to destroy. acridity.


In the discussion of this subject, NJ.
BOussingault remarked that during
panificatiOn glucose is formed, which is
also capable of diminishing the acridity;
and he stated that during his travels in
America, he had noticed that many in
digenous substances were dished up
with sea water and little cane Juice,
the latter neutralizing the effect of the
former. Ii is well known, too, that NJ.
Maumene some time ago combined su-
gar and salt together in such a manner
that the two ingredients neutralized

The Chicago Tribune sums up Sena-
tor Morton on the electoral bill as fol-
lows:


"We are the Republican party; Hayes
was the Republican candidate; in the alb
sence of legislation, the vote must be de-
eided by the President of the Senate; the
President Of the Senate is Republican,
and, Of course, will declare the Republi-
can candidate elected; why should we
legislate, when without legislation we
have the whole game in our hands?"


This is not only perfectly ac curat c
statement of the Senator's argument OF
that occasion, and, for that matter, OF
all other occasions, but it is a perfectly
just exposition of the governing principle
of the men who in association with the
Senator have been the controlling force

A reduction of taxation was advised by
Governor Cochran in his very able mes
sage to the Legislature. and is no doubt
expected by our people. The difficulty
with the General Assembly will be to
find in what part of the revenue law this
reduction should be effected. While this
is clearly true, there are some things that
are manifestly unfair. Among these is
the tax on real estate agents. These
gentlemen seem to be necessity to the
community. Houses are to be rented
and rents collected /; people wish to sell
and to purchase, and why a man who
follows this business for living should
be made to pay five times as much as a
lawyer or doctor, seems mystery. The
tax ought to be reduced to $40 or $50.
The tax,on merchants and traders gen.
orally ought TO be reduced one-half ;
and the tax on stations, which ought
never to have been put in the bill, ought
to be stricken out.


1t is little curious that while oul
Legislators are proposing to abolish the
marriage license, the newspapers ofPenn-
sylvania are declaring that marriage
license bill should be passed in that State,
That the evils arising from the frequent
marriage of minors is serious grievance.
and it is asserted that this is a growing
evil; source of great trouble; and that
magistrates and ministers seem to care
nothing for the feelings of parents; they
take the pittance that is given them with
out regard to the feelings of those who
sufer from the folly of youthful indis
crction. We do not believe our legisla
ture will repeal this tax-although the,
may reduce. it. 1t does not shield u
for not adhering to safeguard in man,
cases, to say that young people will g
elsewhere and be married.

also had great virtues. They were super
stitious, cruel, bloodthirsty, but at the
same time were they not industrious, pa
tient, persevering? The mistake we nave
been making. the delusion we have been
hugging all these years is this: polygamy
is the greatest crime Of which the Nor
mon leaders are guilty. So far is this
from being true that the law against
having at the same time more
wives than one is the least one they have
broken and defed. The truth is the Nor
mon Church is an organized band OF muir
derers and assassins, presided over by men
without pity or remorse, for whom neither
the present nor the future has particle OF
terror.

doubts on this point they will be dispeiled
by perusal Of the strictly truthful letter

other columns this morning. Next to the

revolving chapter that has yet been pub

unfortunate men, is laid down at the door
of the Prophet. No one will probably ever
know the extent of the crime Of this man
during his long and eventful career.

the march of modern ideas supposes that
commercial countries are to dispense with
bank notes. Even in the extreme case-a
case SO extreme that the silver men do not
contemplate it--of the exclusion Of gold
bank notes would still be the ordi-
nary medium of transactions, and q
person contemplating O journey from New
York to San Francisco, instead of carrying
silver with him. would either take the notes
of some New York bank in good credit at
San Francisco or buy letter of credit or
draft on San Francisco bank. 1t is really
amusing to see financial writer SO genu-
inely modern and really able as Mr.. Wells,
and who rests his argument on the idea
that the sons are so much in advance Of ''our
fathers" that the dollar of the one is not
suited to the uses of the other, ignoring all
the modern appliances by which the people
of our time are dispensed from the neces-
sity Of carrying hard money in their pockets
for current payments Even if bank
notes were abolished--which nobody
expects or wishes-payments at home
would still be made by checks, and
payments at distant points by certif-
Gates of deposit, letters of credit, bills of
exchange or other authentic attestations
which would give the holder recognized
claim on the silver coin of any bank in any
part Of the country to the extent of his par
ticular claim, enabling him to pay his bills
by checks against that bank so long as he
remained in the place, and to receive the bal
ance in the form Of similar claim on some
bank in the next city or town he might wish
to visit. Silver, despite its greater weight,
is just as convenient as gold in the modern
methods of transacting business, because in
accordance with these methods no man ever
carries much silver or gold in his pockets.
What he does carry is either bank notes or
piece Of paper which makes his credit
good to the extent of his necessities in some
bank of the place he intends to visit, the
balance being available in the same manner
by further order upon bank in the town
where he next wishes to stop. While, there
fore, We recognize and admire the ingenuity
and the talent for popular illustration dis
played in this clever letter of Mr.. Wells
we are constrained to say that we think the
part of it which is most specious and on
which he lays chief stress is destitute Of
argumentative force.

The White Man and His Red Brother.


Scarcely has the sound of conflict been
silenced in the valley of the Yellowstone
and among the foothills Of the Big Horn
Mountains than it is heard again far away
in the Northwest, near the limit Of the ma
tional domain. The same old quarrel hns
caused this new war between the white man
and his red brother 1t was preceded, as in
the case Of all such wars, by visit from
o board of commissioners who were
to induce the Indians to surrender
another slice Of the reservation guar
anteed them by treaty with the United
States government. We print this morning
an abstract from the report of this commits
sion which throws much light on the ques-
ton, as well as general map of the northern
half Of the Pacific coast territory, showing
the locality of the scene of the Indian out
break. In glancing over the report ono
cannot fail TO perceive that it is but rep
etition OF the old story of aggression on the
part of the whites in the face of treaties, and
resistance and revenge On the part of the
Indians. 1t is absurd to point to the

treachery and savage nature of the red man
while his civilized white brother maintains
against him o persistent policy of dis
stimulation and wrong. True enough, the
Indian must give way to the white man
and finally disappear from the scene, but
his fate should not be associated in our his
tory with stain upon our national honor.

What is reported to have taken place at
Amiens, where the Prefect dissolved the
municipal council and substituted therefor
commission that can be relied on to work
in sympathy with the new order of things, is
fair indication Of the length to which the
De Broglie-Fourtou Cabinet will go in fore
ing it's candidates upon the people in the
coming elections. II the coup de tete is to be
carried into what we would term in
America ward politics the Ministry is
resolved to have majority at all
hazards. There is a cynical earhestness in
this work OF repression of public sentimen
which will test the ability Of the republican
leaders and the republicanism of their fol-
lowers to the utmost. 1t would not, how
ever, be safe to say that the government will
succeed. The republicans have the pres
tige of success. They overturned the Buffet
Ministry at the last elections, and they have
become more familiar with power since then.
The College Of Cardinals, our special
despatch informs us, have instructed the
French clergy to support MacMahon.
This is as superfuous as telling the
Bonapartists to oppose the radicals,
the ultramontane opposition to the re-
publicans being long ago discounted.
The Cabinet has determined the date for
the general election-the 5th of August, it


is surmised. This will not give much time
to the opposition, but as the republicans
have kept their organization, are furnished
with ringing battle cry and have as their
leader an aged statesman whom even
his opponents call ''the liberator
of the territory" the fight at the
urns will not be q one-sided affair.
"Thiers and the will of the people !" will
not be less magnetic cry than "MacMahon
and order!' for the will Of the people has
been brusquely set aside and public order
has never been threatened. The chances
are, too, that they may be as tired OF SOL
diers as executives in France as we are in
