If the space writer who tells of some-
body fearing for Delivers safety
thinks he is doing either the senator
or the state ticket any good, some
kindly editor ought to correct him. In
the first place, the possibility of Cum
minis being defeated and a legislature
taking revenge on Dolliver by electing
Cumn1ns to the senate, is too ridicu-
lous to discuss. In the second place,
such a story will not whip standpatters
in southern Iowa into line, for the rea-
son that the railroad influences have
little more use for Dolliver than they
have Tor CumminS, ana such story
will fall far short of striking any ter
ror TO their souls. Cummins will be
elected easily. His majority will not
be what it was, but the representation
of railroad counties in the next conven-
ton will be reduced accordingly, and
that will help some.

Yeast Treatment ror Non Breeders.

In answer to several requests for
the formula used in the yeast treat
ment in the case of non-b breeding cows,
sows and mares we give the following
directions as quoted from Dr. Alex
ander of the Wisconsin Experiment
station:
Soak an ordinary two-cent cake of
yeast to a paste with little warm
water and allow to stand for IL hours
IN moderately warm place; then
stir in one pint of freshly boiled
lukewarm water and allow to stand
for S to IL hours. Mixture then will
be ready for use and entire quantity
should be injected into vagina of ami
mails to be bred. Use the mixture
when the period OF heat Is first detect
ed and breed when period is about
ended.
This treatment has been found
quite successful in many cases where
pregnancy was prevented by abnormal
condition Of the womb. 1t is well to
give it try before sending a valu-
able COW to the shambles.

owners should consider their own APP
probation of a varied diet and give
their horses and mules an occasional
agreeable surprise by a varied diet.
Quail on toast may be a delicacy to
tempt the appetite of an epicure, but
repeated for a steady diet it becomes
repugnant. Horses will do better when
their rations are occasionally diversi-
fed, and the large list of grain and
grasses makes it possible for owners
to frequently change the rations.
one who has a great deal of expert
ence in breaking and handling young
horses says that practically the only
thing in breaking in young farm horses
is to avoid iiurrying or exciting them
in any way, and this can easily be
done by gentle and kind treatment. Ii

Moreover" argues the Waterloo
Courier, "if the senatorship was at
stake, as certain interests claimed 80
vociferously during the late unpleas-
antness. why should not the republi-
cans who have won prefer to have men
in the legislature who would represent
the majority will rather than men who
would represent the minority; and
particularly so since there is an evil
dent purpose in some quarters to in
sist that Senator Dolliver shall be pun
ished for having taken a stand at the
state convention for majority rule"

WAS it the abolition of the pass
that sent up the market value of rail-

Iowa that Governor Cummins may
not be spared to our neighborine
state of Minnesota, for a few speaking
engagements" is the way the Boone
Republican views it.

NIGHT POLICEMAN ASSAULTED.

On Monday night, about II O'Clock,
Night Policeman w. I. Mason, in COM
ing from home near railroad crossing
on Powder Springs street, met four
young negro men. They were drink
| ing and one of them, John Thomas,
was very drunk. Mr.. Mason warned
them to get home or he would have to
lock them up. This enraged the ne
groes and two OF them assaulted Mr..
Mason with rocks or metal knucks,
knocking him down and beating him
very severely He shot his pistol off
several times and called for help. Help
came and the negroes fed Marshal
Parks telephoned to Chief of Police
Williams. He came, also Sheriff Frey,
Constable Bishop and others. and
searched Reynoldstown, coIored SUI
burb. John Thomas acknowledged the
corn and told who the parties were
with him-George Gardner, John Will
liams and JEFF Reese. Mr.. Mason,
when he was restored to consciousness,
gave the names of the same negroes.
They were arrested by the officers at
their respective homes and placed in
Jail.
In the meantime DR.. Field found that
Mr.. Mason was badly hurt-three long
gashes on his head, cut to the skull.
The wounds were dressed, but Mr..
Mason is suffering considerably, and
has been delirious at times since.
Tuesday morning there was SO much
feeling excited about it, that there was
apprehension that violence might be
resorted to, so Sheriff Frey and Consta-
BILE Bishop quietly took the negroes out
of jail and went in circuitous route
to Elizabeth, where the four negroes
were placed on the train and carried to
Gainesville by Constable w. A. Bishop
and placed in Jail.
Thomas says that Gardner and
Williams are the negroes that beat up
| Mr.. Mason. A pair of metal knucks
were taken off of Gardner.

deplorable affair, and cannot be en-

Anarchy reigned until the civil and
military power regained the reins of
good government and restored protec-

the crimes Of the guilty, otherwise
there would be no discriminating re-
ward for being law-abiding and good.

Attempted Suicide.

While standing in front OF the walt
ing room at the Columbia Railway STA
ton in Washington yesterday afternoon
at 6 o'clock, Miss Viola Slrahau, the
daughter of Superintendent Thomas II
Strahan, of the Benning race track,
raised a small DO tie of carbolic acid to
her lips and drank of the poison. She
threw the bottle to the ground, and q
small boy, standing near, seeing her
totter and writbe with psin, sGaiched
up the bottle and CARED j! across the
street to Tyree's drug store, and the pro-
prieter hurried to her with an sntidote.
when he reached her she was still con-
scious, but tainted as soon as the anti
dote was given. A call was sent to the
Casualty Hospital, and Miss Strshan
was taken to that institution. When
she reached the hospital, the physician
in charge said she was almost dead and
her pulse could not be taken until treat
ment had been begun. As soon as she
regainei consciousness and could tell
who she was, the hospital authorities
communicated with her father, who
went Immediately to her. Late last
night the physicians said she would
probably recover, as the antidote had
been administered promptly. Miss
Slrahan is eighteen years old, and a
scholar at the BenniDg School. Her
motive in attempting to destroy herself
is un known.
