Terry, grange lect urer, as follows t " i I I 1 The horses in! a certain place were many of them ailing. They were not! doing well ; hair look ed roughvaiid stiU they didn't seem to haveanv disease. The doctor was puzzled for some time- At lajst he happened to find out thai tlijey did not be lieve in salting borses. ! It was a common custom not to. Then the mystery j was solved. But, of course he did not tell the truth, and tcj go! home and give them said refeubtrly, and they would be all right. That wouldn't have gone down; So he quietly fixed u a pound or two of salt in a package, and colored it with red clay aiic) told a man just how to feed it dailv, and how much to a ihorse. Soon the tiorse wasbetter,land the doctor's fame rose, and He often took in ' 3 to $5 a day for his medicine, find hundred of dollars in the j.ggregate. Actually one man jdiered him $200 for the recipe for this "condition powder !" !i Perhaps none bf our readers helped the doctor to get rich, but thousands of them, probably, do not salt their horses properly to keen theni he.ilthy.

A. Gait of the Horse. There is hardly any. question nut that the gait of the horse is llireelv influenced nv the driver. "his is especiailv the case with aj. young horse that is being trained to drive or work. If ulie young horse, when being fjfrst trained to work, is 'put into tlie hands Of a careless,' slow driver, the liorse will: soon ac quire this kind of a gait, and if allowed to continue aiiy consid; erable time,; a habit will be formed that will be hard to Over cjome. A slow, trailing gait is really hardei for a horse. "A moderately Iquick walk, either 4ith a load or when empty, ex flausts an animal less than a siiail's pace. When a horse is allowed to fall into a slow gait lie becomes aged and incapac itated long- before his natural time ; his joints and sinews be come stiff and contracted, and i ! he is soon incapable of properly performing the work he should naturally be able to dp.

Few bouskeepers Know the good qualities of old newspapers. For rubbing the cook stove they are invaluable. Take a thick handful and rub the stoye when very hot, and all the grease of the cooking meal will come off at once. A paper spread oh the floor under the oven door when cooking meat or fowls, pies or puddings, will save the floor from splashes of juice or grease. For polishing the tin teakettle, coffee pot, milkr'pail, and other tin articles, it has "no equal. Have the vessels hot, then rub briskly.

Senater Butler Inteiriewed. Senator Marion Butler, chair man of the People's Party Na tional Committee, when asked if he would endorse, sign, and is sue Edgertou's call for a confer ence, said : "No. I think that such a con ference at this time is not ouly unnecessary, but would be a great mistake." When asked if he approved of Rozelle's call for a seperate and independent meeting of the re form editors at Kansas Cit . February '22, to organize a new Reform Press Association, he said : No. Most positively I do not. j I wrote to Mr. Rozelle as soon j as I was informed of his action, expressing strongly my .disap-j proval ot the same and urging nim to revoke ins cair ior sucn a meeting ; and urging him and all who agreed with him in this matter to attend the Memphis meeting ot the Reform Press As sociation." Then Senator Butler was ask ed : "Do you endorse Vander voort in this matter?" "Well," he said, "I cannot say that 1 endorse Vandervoort in any thing. In the first place I do not consider him a trut Pop ulist. He has no standing among the Populists in his own state, and is there looked upon as an unreliable man and as a corpora tion boodler. The State.Execu tive Committee of the People's Party of his State have express ed their opinion of him to this effect in official resolutions,' which haye been published. 1 think it was a very great mis take that he was ever elected President of the Reform Press Association. It is the fault" of those who know his true charac ter and who disapprove his methods that he was ever per mitted to be placed in such an important and responsible posi tion. But the fact stands that he is president,' and will remain so until the next regular meet ing of the Reform Press Associ ation, which is at Memphis on the 22 ud. It may be true, and no doubt is true, as is charged by Rozelle and others, that he has pursued irregular, if not illegal, methods in making the call for this meet ing at Memphis. The last meet ing of the Association was in the South, and the general under standing was that the next meeting would be in the Wost and, no doubt, nine-tenths' of the reform editors would have voted for this meeting to have been held in Kansas City or some other Western point if iheir wishes had been consulted. But let this be as it may, aud let Vandervoort's motives be ever so questionable, it does not jus tify Mr. Rozelle, or an' other member of the Reform Press As sociation who is aggrieved, how ever justly, at Vandervoort's course and method, in; calling a separate meeting at another place for the same date. Itrust that every People's party editor who possibly can will attend the Memphis meeting, and see that officers are elected -who are not 1 1 a 1 tainted with either Democratic or Republican influence, and that such action will be taken as will double the membership of the Reform Press-Association at an early date and give new life and vigor to the People's party." Then Senator Butler was ask ed : "There will be no confer ence at Kansas City on Febru ary 23rd with your approyal?" "No," he replied promptly and rvncifiTrulw "Fn f li a fiT"cf nlfiz-'O if a conference were called there i l i n VJ I till VI llVjl U IjICVJ. tl HVl till TtliVJ i . i i r i claims to be a Populist were al- i i .t i -t i l lowed to attend, it would be more of a rabble than a conference. If it was a body that could de liberate at all it would not in any sense be a deliberative body in a representative capacity, and therefore its actions and utter ances would not be entitled to any weight or consideration, and therefore would do more harm than good. If such a conference were called, no matter by whom, it would be sure to be packed by wild-eyed cranks, corporr. tittn tools and the slippery agents of the old party politi cians. Free passes and money in abundance would be furnish sd to this class ol cattle to go to the confereuce in large numbers and take charge of it. ''Tuere is but one way that the rank and tile of the Populists in the different sections of the country can have their true fcentimnts voiced and expressed at a conference, and that would be by arranging some just and equitable method of having the people represented through du ly accredited representatives, and issuing a call tor a conference based upon such a plan of representation.

Burn's on Saturday, Feb. 27, at 2 o'clock p. m. J. C. Goodman, Ch'm Board Supervisors. Notes from Tom Watson's Taper. Several so-called populist pa pers in the West are flying the name of W J. Bryan for presi dent in 1900. The populist can didate in 1900 will -be a popu list. The paper that goes to the democratic party for its plat form and candidate, should go to democrats for affiliation and support. Populist pipers in Georgia advocate populist prin ciples ilnd" in 1900 and all other years wiH vote for populists for every office from J, P. to Presi dent. Let no man doubt, that the Populist voter is there at the old place. He has not faded 1',t0 7,ace- lle 'l113 "ot tu"'td KepubiicAii, nor has he turned px TT ... , ' Democrat. . He is still there a rD . rop from his head to his bee s but his head has drooped a gootl deal of late, and his heart was as heavy as lead, for his own leaders had pierced him as -with a sword. If Populists who want office continue to barter this man's vote, first to Republicans and then to Democrats, he is done voting. He will stay at home and save his self-respect. It may be possible that our party docs not need a formal re organization, if by re-organization is meant a general dis: banding of our present Commit tees and a general selection of new ones. So prominent and true a Middle-of-the Road man as Col. W. L. Peek says we do not need such re-organization, and his opinion is entitled to great weight: But yet we can not believe that Populists can be rallied until certain issues among ourselves have been rais ed and settled. Either by Na tional Committee or by State action, it must be decided wheth er office-seeking Committees claiming "plenary power" have got the right to make a tin can out of the People's Party yote and tie it to some Democratic or Republican dog's tail. We see from the Washington papers that certain grand mo guls of fusion politics, who hold othce under that, policy, speak greatness. We have no diflDOsi- ft i ti.in -v ..nil . - i we cai put - a straight Populist :mto an otttce, nigh or low, wo have made one step forward ; i out -'.when we put into office a !XtUUlu!ait NW1 uait i opnhst C7 i have, (perhaps, gone backward instead of forward. The ftisionist necessarily tries to sitvj two masters, andan the impossible task will disappoint one or the other. Tho gentlemen iu Washing aim uau sonieiniiiir else, wo I . . C -1- 1 ton to wtiom we allude claim that The People's Party is. in good sdiapo, ttiat the fusion deal i Willi the Democrats' on the sil ver .quciivn inust stand, aud that me National t'oininitteo i miit not be wailed togetlu'r. L Tlii'y deluilo . themselves with i the idea that the Populist voters ! are content with tins abandon ment of every principle except ing t he Sil ve;r qiiestioh. They "are 'comprehensively mUtaktn, and they will soon lind ,t out. 10 very Populist is for Free Silvor and always has neon.! but our voters have no idea, of allowing this one issuo to side- track all the others.
