DANDEL|ONS ARE
BECOMING PEST
FARMERS WORRYING OVER THE
PREVALENCE OF WEED.
HOPE TO STAMP IT OUT.
Fields and Lawns are Overrun With
Weeds-NIethod OF
killing.

King Dandelion is taking hold of
fields and lawns and every available
spot in the vicinity Of North Yakima,
and farmers are disturbed at the ar
rival of this weed, which drives out
alfalfa, Injuries grass and rapidly
works itself into general nuisance.
The prevalence of the weed is be-
coming somewhat alarming and
many farmers are at loss to know
what steps to take in driving it out.
Spray Will Kill Dandelion.
At last science, however has
conquered the pesky, smiling.
nodding, presumptuous harbinger of
spring, and it is now up to the house
holder as to whether the weed or
blue grass shall hold sway over the
lawns.
The agronomist of an eastern col
lege is the monument winning scien-
fist who has furnished the weapon
that means death and destruction to
the yellow flower, and the hoary
headed cottony tor stalk that sue
ceeis 1t. His formula is stated to be
not only effective, but quite simple
and inexpensive. Here it is:
Dissolve two pounds of sulphate
of iron in a gallon OF. water, and add
about two and one-half ounces Of
sulphuric acid. Place the liquid in
an ordinary sprinkling can and get
busy. This potion will serve to send
an ordinary sized lawn to witherland.
Should Sir Dandelion have posses
sion of large tract of land and 1t
is desired to kill the encroacher head,
body and roots, use the admixture
in the following proportions:
Add a quarter pound sack of sui
plate Of iron to a fifty-seven gallon
barrel of water, mix thoroughly and
add ten pounds of sulphuric acid.
Use a regular spraying machine, and
the danielion is a dead one.
Sulphuric acid being deadly pois-
on considerable care should be exer-
cised not only in its use, but in It's
handling before 1t is used

Hatfield Is Given a Verdict
Of Over $500 Against City

The defense introduced witnesses
who testified that due care was not
exercised by the plaintiff in driving
the carriage, and that Mrs. Hatfield
had stated after the accident that it
was her fault, she having caught one
of the lines and pulled the horses to
the edge OF the bridge.
The defense introduced three local
physicians who testified that the re-
suit Of Hatfields injuries would not
result in him losing the use of his
arms and in a short time he would
possibly be able to resume his regu-
lar labor.
The jury went in the jury box at
2:25 O'Clock and argued the case for
nearly two hours before agreeing on
verdict. 1t is stated that one of
Jurors made the statement after they
came out Of the box that juror
held out until about the last for
verdict in full for the plaintiff, while
another held out for $40, 900 and an
other for $4,000. This juror also
stated, it is said, that several of them
had served on the jury in a previous
case and had been out all night and
did not care to stay in the box an
other night, and therefore compro-
missed on a verdict.

Actually Cures Catarrh.

1t is one thing to claim. but an
other thing to back up the claim by a
statement that if not proven true,
there will be no charge for the SER
vice or the goods. 1t is in this way
that Fred L. Janeck sells Hyomei,
for he has so much faith in its power
to cure all form of catarrh and bron-
chial troubles that he gives an abso-
lutte, unqualified guarantee with ev-
cry outfit that if the remedy does not
cure the money will be refunded.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.00, making it not only very
pleasant method of treatment, but
most economical.

MORE FORGERIES.
Unknown Man Said to Have Worked
i'm Old Town.

After working successfully in this
city for some time, forgers have
started operation in Yakima City.
Word was received her late last
night that forged check had been
passed on one of the store in Yakima
City by short, stout man, who left
the city on horseback.
A strict watch was maintained by
the police department during the
night and an officer kept close watch
on outgoing trains. UP to an early
hour this morning the forger haa
not been apprehended.

ERNEST P|LANO
AN INVENTOR
PATENTS VALUABLE ATTACH
MENT FOR DELIVERING MAIL.
IMPROVEMENT OVER OLD METHOD
Believes 1t Will Become Used on
All Mail Trains i'm the United
States.

Ernest Piland, a Parker Bottom
young man, has invented device fof
catching and delivering mail sacks
from and to the mail car while the
train is moving at the usual rate of
travel. Heretofore the mail could
be delivered to the car by means of
a stationary crane alongside the
track and the long arm attached to
the mail car, but could not be de-
livered and must necessarily be
thrown off by the postal clerk, the
sacks alighting anywhere fate might
designate.
Mr.. Puand, while at Wapato a
year ago, observed a mail pouch
thrown from the car, which rolled
under the wheels of the rapidly NOV
ing train, and when the remnants of
the sack and the mail were gotten
together there was hardly enough
left of the lot to identify them. Here
10 '" hOiC WI. L manu- SVl HIS SuSSeS-
ton and so Immediately began study
ing upon device that would not only
catch the mail sack as the train
speeds by but would also deliver to
the same crane the sack to be left
at that point. After several months
of experimenting he has perfected
such device, which, like most in
ventions, when the principles are
studied out, is very simple in con-
struction and operation.
There is little change in the up
right or crane portion of the station
airy portion alongside of the track,
a third arm extending from it being
the only new feature. But the arm
extending from the mail car Is semi
circular in nature. To either end OF
this part are attached the hooks
which hold the sack to be delivered
to the crane. Another arm also ex-
tends from this semi-circular frame
which reaches for the sack held by
the crane, first removing the sack
held by it and leaving in its place
the one attached to the arms on the
car The work is all done in the
twinkling of an eye and one wonders
after having seen the model work
that the idea has not been brought
out before.
Mr.. Piland's Washington city at
torneys assure him there is nothing
Of the kind ever before patented and
that the railroads who have contracts
with the government for carrying
the mails are already beginning to
investigate the merits of this simple
but scientific device. Mr. Piland
states that the article can be made
and attached to mail cars for sum
not to exceed $40 and that 1t is only
question of short time when all
mail cars will have such an attach
ment to facilitate the better hand
ling of mails. Heretofore the loss
from accidents similar to the one at
Wapato last winter. when the con-
tents of the sack of mail nearly prov
ed total loss and in which were
checks, currency and valuable papers.
is bringing his device more forcibly
to the notice of railway and govern
ment officials.

Kills Catafrh Germs.

Stomach dosing cannot kill these
germs; direct local treatment is
absolutely necessary, and for this
purpose nothing else equals Hyomei.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit
Hyomei reaches the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
giving immediate relief and effecting

A complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 800, and Fred L. Janeck gives
a guarantee with every outfit that the
treatment will cost nothing unless
It cures.

ARE TO CUT OUT
ALL BLIND PIGS
WAPATO PEOPLE REPORTED TIC
BE UP IN ARMS.
WANT A DECIDED REFORM
Debauchery Would Make Fiji Island.
ers Blush is the Complaint.
VIII Fight.

Nearly every business man and
many other residents of Wapato
have talked with the Independent
during the week in regard to the dis
graceful scenes enacted on the streets
of Wapato last Sunday. And each and
every one was loud in denunciation
and expressed a determination to
take steps to prevent a recurrence
of turning Sunday into day of
beastly .debauchery, the prevailing
idea being that citizens meeting
should be called to take the matter
in hand and adopt such measures
as scanned most feasible, says the
Wapato Independent.
Wapato has reached stage in its
existence where 1t will have to be
decided by the people whether law
abiding citizens and business meu
of the community or the violators of
law and order are to shape its desti-
MES.
This paper does not pose as a
reformer. Its policy heretofore has
been to close it's eyes to such evils
as always fall to the lot of new,
unincorporated towns, in the belief
and knowledge by experience that
such things have to be endured until
such time as Incorporation and sta
BILE government make possible the
regulation or elimination of such
evils. But for the past two weeks
Saturday night and Sunday in this
town have witnessed scenes of de-
bauchery that would make a Fiji
cannibal blush, and that are dis
grace to civilization. When affairs
reach such stage, the reputation
of the town is menaced and the vel
fare of the public threatened; and
this journal is bound to stand for the
public good.
Last Sunday a woman could not
walk on the streets of Wapato with
out hearing the vilest language and
being subjected to the leers and
stares of drunken mob.
Last Sunday the town of Wapato
was advertised to all beholders as a
place with the cid off," where dis
orderly drunkenness ran riot.
The peace disturbers were no.
Wapato citizens. There are hun

cling up and down the line who make
the smaller towns where booze is to
be had on Sundays, and it was the
booze-fghting element among them

all the whiskey in town.
1t won't do. You can't build a
town on that kind of advertising,

Eight Prisoners Taken in
Pool ROOm-=PatrOn Says
That lie Was Robbed.

Under orders of Captain Ryan.
Plainclothes Policemen Troy and King,
of the First Precinct, pulled off a noon
day raid at the -Four Corners descend
ing on the pool and billiard room of
Samuel Nicholson, at the corner of
Broad and Market streets, in the base
ment under the United Cigar Stores
establishment. They arrested eight Of
the people in the pool room, including
the proprietor, Michaelson, and his
clerk, Patrick O'Neill.
At 1870 o'clock word was received
by Captain Ryan that Nathan Finkle-
stein, of Monmouth street, was robbed
of $40 by two men whom he met in the
parlors. Hearing the circumstances,
which had followed other complaints,
Captain Ryan determined to try and
| put stop to them, and ordered Troy

rest every one in them. Seven of the
eight prisoners were paroled by Captain
| Ryan until tomorrow morning.
Michaelson was taken before Acting
Judge Freeland and held in $500 bail

Hahn gave bonds Michaeson is ac-
cused of conducting n gambling house.
Miehaelson says that he has made
every effort to prevent Objectionable
persons from going into the place. He
admits that young men with shady
regulations went there. but insists that
it is no fault of his. The statement of
Finklestein that he was robbed is spite
work, according to Michaelson.

B. Winters. who is well known in Irv-.
ington, is lying at the point of death
in his home in West Clinton and Or
ange avenues. 1t is believed by those
attending him that his death is not
far off. Mr.. Winters is fully conscious,
and thinks his end Is near. He bade
his wife goodby this morning.
Winters is suffering from injuries to
his scalp and to his right side. Some
of his left ribs are pressing against
his heart This, together with the in
jury to his head, is expected to cquse
death.
How he received his injuries. Wintefs
says he is unable to state. According
to his story, as repeated by his wife
this morning, he was struck from be-
hind by some person and knew noth-
ing more until he regained conscious-.
ness in the City Hospital, to which
place he was taken by the police Of the
First Precinct of this city last We'd
nesday.
Winters was employed as driver by
the Union Ice Company. and on Wed-
nesday he went to work as usual He
did not return to his home that night.
:, and his wife became much worried over
/ his absence.
According to the City Hospital au-
thorlties Winters was taken to that
institution late that night by The po-
lice. He had evidently been drinking
heavily and was suffering from tho ef-
fects of that as we'll as from a wound
on the head that may have been a
fracture of the skull. At the hospital
Winters was attended to. During the
night he was near the point of death.

acute alcoholism. 1t required the work
of two physicians for an hour and q
half on him, to restore him.
In the morning, he begged to be all
lowed to go home, and after signing
his name in the hospital register left
the Institution about 1920 o'clock

LAWYER SHAKES FIST
IN A JURORS FACE.

But for pr Jmpt interference on the
part of Acting Judge Vreeland In the
First Criminal Court yesterday after
noon. Attorney James McDermit and
Anton Miller, a juror, in the case
brought by the State against Peter
Pollwoda, might have come to blows.
McDermit charged Miller, who is the
proprietor of q hardware store at 25S
Springfield avenue, with being UNIT for
the duties of juror. whereupon Miller
retorted that the lawyer was uncul-
tured, unprinciped and unfit to be a
member of the bar.
Greatly excited McDermit shook his
fist in the jurors face. other jurors
became excited, and what McDermit
said was lost on account of the noise.
Witnesses for both sides Joined in the
disturbance, and the court officers had
to send some of them from the room.
McDermit was appearing for Peter
Poliwoda, who was charged by Annie
Dindzois, of 3S Richmond street, with
being the father of her child. Accord
ing to his story Poliwoda paid the
woman $50 to be released from respon-
sibility for one child. but she brought
a charge against him for the parentage
Of another born this year. Miller could
not understand The procedure and
shouted that It was a fake case. Nc
Dermit objected to such a statement
and wanted the trial called off. as he
claimed that Miller could not properly
serve as a juror.
