CONVICT'S PAROLE
SHERCLEFF'S CASE ENfBARRASS-
ING TO SECRETARY SHAW.
Prisoner Released Against the Protests

Showing $14,45O Paid for Political
Influence.

Special to The Journal
Des Mones Iowa, April 26.-Frank
Shercleff's confession regarding the part
Tom Denson, the Omaha policy king,
played in the Pollock diamond robbery
constitutes a political volcano, the up
heaval of which is said to be seriously
embarrassing to Secretary Shaw. -.
When Secretary Shaw was governor Of
Iowa he paroled Shercleff, who had been
convicted of one of the most daring train
robberies on record, securing diamonds
valued at S20,0 It was always mys-
terry here how the parole was secured over
the protest Of the trial judge, the county
attorney, the Pinkerton detectives and
the jewelers. Protective association. 1t
was without precedent and caused more
criticism of Governor Shaws much adver-
tised ''abuse of the pardon power" than
any one feature of his administration.
Now comes Shercleff's confession result
ing in the indictment of Denison, who has
long been notorious as the nerviest politi-
cal boss Omaha ever knew. 1t has re-
suited in bringing to light an itemized
statement Of account by Den.5on showing
| that he paid out $14, 450 for political inf1u-
ence to obtain Shercleffs parole. ~.
| The crime for which Shercleff was con-
victed was committed in 1892. He beat
his victim into insensibility, stopped the
train and escaped, after a running fire
with posse that lasted several hours. He
was captured several days afterwards. He
was sentenced to seventeen years inn
prsonment and was paroed by Governor
| Shaw in 1893. He at once resumed the
career of a desperate, was recaptured ano

Instead, the application of men for worl

Duluth, Mimi, April 26.-The decision OF
Judge Morris Of the federal court in the
match case is attracting widespread inter-
est.
The Diamond Match company sued the
Union Match company of Duluth, strong
independent concern, alleging infringe
ment Of the Beecher' patent OF 1888, FOR
improvements in match making machin-

suit on claims /. 2, 3, and 5 Of the Beech
er specifications, which involve the con-
struction of match making machines with

sticks from blocks, elects them into per-
forated metal plates that are hinged to-
gether to form a carrier to convey the
sticks to the parafine BATH thence over
rollers on which Is the ignitable material

The allegations of the Diamond Match
company were broad and embraced exclu-
sive claims to any and all such match
making machinery.
The Union Match company showed sew
eral patents under which substantially al
these things had been done and commended
that its machines contained no feature OF
value in conflict with the Beechers.
Judge Morris did not go into detail as

can come in contact with the roots.
In the Towering bed the plants should
not be- crowded; better to grow few

think. Give them at least eighteen
inches each way, rather reversing the

where two might have grown. AS a
preventive of the dreaded aster dis
ease, nothing will be of more effect
than free circulation of air around
and among the plants.
The plants should be transplanted
on cloudy day or in the evening.

possible. Before transplanting, give

Watering will produce the growth

GIADlOLuS.

To succeed best with the gladioIus, the
bulbs should have rich, deep, sandy soil,
and never a heavy, one, tho they will grow
and bloom on any soil not utterly devoid Of
life. The bulbs should be planted where
they can have the full benefit of sunlight.
The best for planting are those from
three to four inches in diameter, and
bulbs of this size should be planted at
least a foot deep. am aware that this
idea Of planting them so deep is somewhat
contrary to the practice Of many growers,
but when I say that the result of this
practice means much stronger, sturdier
plant, and one which is able to sustain
itself without the use Of stakes, the read
er will appreciate the advantages of the
plan. The bulbs should be set about three
inches apart. and they may be planted as
soon as the frost is out Of the ground in
