TRY POST EXPERIMENT
To Ascertain the Cheaplless and
Efficiency of Artificial Treat
ment of Timbers
FARMERS DEEPLY INTERESTED
They Have Furnished Nearly 1000
Posts to be Experimental on at
Ames College, by the Ho .ticultural
Department, In Cooperation With
the Bureau of Forestry.
Special to Times-Republican.

Ames, May 23.-The horticultural
in cooperation with the bureau OF for
estry at Washington, D. c., are to be-
gin this week in conducting expert
ments to ascertain the cheapness and
efficiency of the various n ethods Of
artificial treatment of posts and 9TH
err timIbers that come in contact with
the soil, and to find a practie al method
of making such quick growing species
as cottonwood, willow and maple as
long lived as the better class of tim
Der, such as cedar and oak. This
would be great saving to the Iowa
farmer if this could be done, and it
might lead up to an industry that
would be both profitable and attractive
if successful, as these trees Are of fast
growth. The Chicago Bridge and Iron
Works Company have taken an inter-
est in the work and have donated a
large iron tank to the department in
which to dip the timbers. 1t is of the
latest improved style and is of ines
periments. The main preserving prep
arations, 1000 pounds of " hich have
been donated, are creosote, carbolen-
iun, boral and C. A. wood preserver.
The farmers over the state have TAX
en- deep interest in the experiment
and have furnished nearly 1000 posts
to be experimental upon. OF these,
80 per cent will be returned to the far
mer, and the remaining ten per cent
will be retained by the college for the
purpose of making reports upon the
success of the test. 1t is also the pur-
pose of the department to continue the
test with stakes, poles, shirgles, side
walk material, etc. If the treatment
proves to be success it will mean
the saving of many dollars to the Iowa
farmer and will also m an better
fences.

Total $14,S505O
Below this itemized statement is a
note, which sheds some Night on the
amount which was secured for the
Pollock diamonds.
| "'Had six thousand. seven hundred
dollars with me, so he owes me out
side of my trouble, and lots I can't
| think of, Sherman owes me $S,l5O.50'
THE above is taken to mean that
Shercliffe's share of the stolen booty
was $1,000, or that the diamonds sold
for $13,400."
Then newspaper reporter in Des
Moines, searching thru the papers In
the pardon clerks office at the state
house, found some interesting letters.
One from Judge N. NJ. Hubbard to
| Governor Shaw read thus:
| My Dear Governor: When 1 was in
Washington last winter ] became &C
quainted with David M. Mercer, con-
gresham from Nebraska, from the
Fremont district. He helped pass our
bill for the settlement of the Sioux CITY
& Pacific Indebtedness. AS soon as the
bill was passed Dave as he is famil-
iarly called in washington. came to me
to ask for a parole for Frank Shercliff,
who is now in the penitentiary for
robbing somebody on the Sioux City d
Pacific road. My son and Mr.. DaWley,
/ understand, have written you, urging
YOU not to pardon or parole him. Dave
doesn't ask that he be pardoned. but
paroled on good behavior, and he tells
me that the judge who tried him ana
the attorney who prosecuted him Will
make a request or have made request
to you to parole him. I suppose there
is no doubt that he is guilty of the
crime charged, but Dave says he has
been punished pretty we'll now, and
that 1t will be worth three or four
hundred votes to him (from the rela-
tives of SherclifO if he can be paroled.
Dave is one of the best fellows | met
in Washington and l want to beseech
you in his behalf to parole this man II
you possibly can. OF course. don't
know the details Of this matter, but
Dave was so kind and helpful TO me
in Was hington last winter that l am
very anxious that he should be graft
fed by this parole, provided, of course,
that it is not going to do too much IN
justice to the public. Yours truly,
IN. M. HUBBARD.
1t was shortly after the receiptizof
this letter that Shercliffe's parole was
issued to Dennison. Dave" however,
failed even with the help Of Shercliffes
400 relatives to pull thru.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CA
TARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times
a Day and be Cured.

If a few years ago someone had
said you can cure catarrh by
breathing air charged with a
healing balsalm, the idea would
have been ridiculed, and it re-
manned for that eminent investi-
gator, r. T. Booth, to discover
in Hyomei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures OF catarrh, and
is today recognized by leading
members of the medical profess
sion as the only advertised rem
edy that can be relied upon to do
just what it claims. The COM
plete outfit of Hyomei costs
$1.00, and consists of an inhaler,
medicine dropper, and bottle
OF Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the
inhaler for few minutes four
times a day, and it will cure the
worst case of catarrh. 1t soothes
and heals the mucous membrane
of the air passages, prevents irri-
tation and effects complete and
lasting cure.
In Plymouth there are scores
of we'll known people who have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei.
If it does not cure you, The Peo-
pies Drug store will return the
money you pay for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can
be offered as to their faith in the
remedy.
