NEW WAY TO TREAT HAY FEVER

No Stomach Dosinq-Just Breathe Fly
omei-Stops Sneezine and Smart'ns.
Mcbride & Will are recommending to
their customers, as a cure for hay fever,
Hyome.
It is claimed for this remedy that II
stops the spaslnodic raroxysms OF
sneezing, the smarting and running OF
the eyes and nose. and other acute
symptoms of this disease.
Many persons have been cured of hay
fever by Hyomei and its inventors pro-
fess to be able to prevent both the oc-
currence Of the annual attacks and to
arrest the progress of the disease When
In the most chronic form.
Among those who have been cureo nv
Hyomei are j. F.. Forbes chief dis
patcher of the 3. & NJ. railroad, Nc
Cook, Neb. who writes: Il have never
had relief from any remedy for hay fe-
yer even temporarily, until i used Hyo-
mel. will always recommend it when
ever occasion offers.
A Hamlin. Westford. Mass writes:
'Hyomei cured me of hay fewer in one
weeks time. / consider 1t a duty to tell
Others who suffer from this disease.
These endorsements ore samples OF
hundreds that have been received by
the manufacturers of Hyomei, but Nc
Bride &Will's offer to refund the money
II Hyurnei does not do all that is
claimed for it is the strongest proof
that can be offered as to the reliance
they place upon Hyomei to cure hay
fever.

Mason City, Aug. 25.-There Is a
myster at the Iowa Central round
house, which the boys are trying to
solve, and which may prove to be very
interesting when once solved. Early
Sunday morning about o'clock. while
the men who were employed at the
house were husily engaged at their du-
ties, they saw man climb the ladder
which runs 10 the top of the tank II
was supposed that he carried pack
age in his hand, and a little later hs
was seen to come down the ladder. The
package which he took up With him was
not brought back. Sunday one of the
men. who was almost positive that
something had been dropped into the
tank. went up the ladder and began to
fish around for hidden treasures. On
account of the water in the tank be-
ing so deep he was unable to find any
thing, but it has been decided to let the
water out of the tank and see If there
is anything in the mystery. The spot
would be nice place to drop a package
which some crook was anxious to get
rid of and there woul be but one
In a thousand who would ever think TO
look in a railroad water tank for this

A BRAKEMAN KILLED.
Fred Myers, of Waterloo, Meets Ter
rible Death.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Aug. 25.-F'red Myers, a
brakeman on the Illinois Central liv-
ing at Waterloo was almost instantly
killed by falling from the train near
the city limits.
Myers who had been in the em-
ploy of the Central only two months
started out on the second section OF
No. ss, which left Waterloo at 800
O'clock in charge Of Conductor Harry
Brown and pulled by Engineer Eickles
with Engine No. 242. The last seen of
the young man alive was when the en-
gineer took his "go ahead" signal
to pull out of the yards. 1t is sup
posed that in walking over the train
TO the engine in some manner he
fell from the top of the cars and was
run over by the entire train. Just how
the fatal accident occurred will never
be known since no one witnessed the
manner in which he fell from his post.
That he fell from the north side of the
train is evident since he was killed on
the north rail. Almost the entire
train passed over his body just below
the trunk.
A Mrs. Kennedy who lives near the
mile post in Linden place heard his
cries and hastened to the spot. My
ers was still alive and begged the lady
to carry him from the track She was
unable to lift him, however, and could
only do what she could to ease his suff-
erngs until death ensued about 80
minutes after her arrival. Another

Ames, Aug. 25.-Professor P. G.. Hol-
den. of the Agronomy department at
the Iowa State College, has just return
ed from tour of inspection of the crop
mditions in the eastern and southern
parts of the state. He especially made
an investigation Of the outlook of the
corn crop this fall. He states that 1t is
not as good rs he anticipated.
On account of the wet fall and spring
corn was not planted until late and the
dry summer in those portions of the
state has greatly retarded 1t growth, no
rain having fallen in the month Of July
August SO far. Only about one half Of
the corn is in tassle. No matter what
the weather conditions may be from
now on there cannot possibly be yield
of over 80 to 40 per cent in a great
portion of that section.
In the southern part a yield of so
to 55 per cent would be fair estimate.
One cause of this was poor seed planted
from last years corn. which was FROST
ed. 1t terminated but failed to pro-
duce. Holden made a trip thru Lee
county to West Liberty and Cedar
county. Around West Liberty he states
that there will probably be a yield Of
rs per cent. In regard to the pros
poets of corn for the st. Louis ex-
position. If the frost holds off for four
weeks longer there will be some corn
that will be good. especially that which
some of the short course men who took
corn judging at the college here las.
winter are experimenting on. The
small grain exhibit is not so good as
corn. Oats yielded on an average of
twenty eight to thirty-f1ve bushels,
but only weighed out from % TO II
pounds per bushel.
George S. Forest, Of Miles, Iowa, who
is superintendent Of agriculture at the
ST. Louis fair. and secretay of the Iowa
State Corn Growers Association, also
has made a tour of the eastern and
central part of the state. He travelled
thru Fayette, Delaware, Jones, Black
hawk. Buchanan, Butler, Hardin and
Story counties. He says that Fayette
and Delaware counties will not yield
over twenty bushels per acre. The corn
in the eastern part of the state is more
even and further advanced than that OF
the southern part and that around
Clinton it Will make a yield of 75 to 50
per cent.
Mr.. Forest has some bundles Of oats,
wheat and timothy that measures six
feet in height on his own farm. He
has timothy of which the heads meas
