Des Moines, May 21.-Suffolk Punch
will be exhibited at the Iowa state fair
this year. Suffolk Punch is not a
drink. 1t Is horse. To the untutored
city mind this explanation is necessary
and there are susptcions that some
few country boys can be found who
could not have told that it was a
horse. Furthermore Suffolk Punch is
not one horse, but many horses. In
fact It Is class Of horses and class
that is to be shown at the state fair
this year for the first time 1t Is new
breed Of heavy draft horse but they are
very pretty. and OF chestnut color. The
directors of the department of agricul-
ture have this year increased the
premiums on horses $780, making
the totaI premiums in that department
something like $4,000 Besides SUI
folk Punch there is a new classical
ton on American carriage horses which
the, United States department Of agri-
culture is endeavoring to encourage
and for which the legislature appro-
[priated $500 to be used by the agri-
cultural college in breeding. The de-
sign is to develop type of American
horse that will be superior to all 9TH
ers
In the department. OF cattle this
year there are new classifications of
Ayrshires and Holstein- Friesian, two
breeds that have not been shown be-
fore. The directors added $500 to the
premiums offered for sheep and $50
to- the premiums offered in poultry. IN
addition in the poultry department
there have been two, ribbons added as
fourth and fifth prizes to be known as
highly commemorative and commend :
able" sss
The biggest increase in premiums is
In the corn department, where the d.
srectors have increased the total prem
iums from $500 to $1,000, making an
increase Of $500, or more than half.
There is also an, Increase OF 800 IN
the fruit department.
y Des Moines is asking the question
whether or not municipalities. like re-
publics, are ungrateful. Some months
ago. soon after the city election of
1906. Alderman Halnery, of the First
ward, came into prominence by cru
SADIE Ragainst municipal corruption. He
caught a policeman taking drink
while on duty and against the rules OF.
the department, lie tore things up
generally. and when public attention
was focused he filed an information
against George Hippee, one of the
wealthiest men of the city, charging
him with bribery Hippee's attorneys
limited that they would end the mat
ter in the Justice court hearing, pu1
lust then the affidavits of four men
who claimed to have seen the Whole
transaction We're published, and they
waived to the grand jury. Just; at that
time Hamery was big citizen. People
pattel him on the back.
The grand Jury failed to indict tho
four witnesses testified they had seen
the transaction. 1t was the straightest
case ever presented to any grand jury
Then Alderman Hamery got busy. he
thought there was something wrong
with grand Jury that acted that way
and he started a, suit IN court IN ms
own name and bore the expense him
SELF ana the grand jury was Knocked
out. Alderman Hamery WIS patted ON
the back again and allowed to pay the
court COSTS
| Hamery's fame began to diminish
soon after. Another grand jury was
secured, and 1t was about as bad as
any other, and thus far there have
been no indictments. Now the public
| is asking what is the matter with
Hamery. HAS he laid down? For
considerably over q year Alderman q!
Hamery has been living off his savings
and devoting his attention to the well
fare of the city and drawing a salary OF
$3.50 a year. Wher, the hrst grand jury
was found to 4 haye been drawn In de-
fiance OF the plain provisions Of stat
ute defining the manner of drawing,
the public and Hamery had hopes. The
second grand Jury, according to q spe-
cial act OF the legislature, was made up
by the members OF the board OF super
vlsors, and is as bad as the first, but
being drawn according to law there IS
lno means of knocking it out In q legal
action. Yet the public seems to think
that Hamery should go on with his
fight and pay the bills.
Every effort possible is being made
| to force Congressman Hull to show his
hand In the campaign now on for the
adoption OF the commission plan of
government. AS a matter Of fact, 1t is
safe to conjecture that Congressman
Hull is opposed to the plan. II he
were not, he would be in Des Moines.
But 1t is a difficult position in which
the congressman Is placed. Heretofore
his influence In the city of Des Moines
has enabled him to get this city, and
by getting the city he has been able to
get the county, and the county has en-
abled him to get the district This
year his friends are divided. Hulls
political lieutenants are opposed to the
plan, and the business men are all for
it. The best advices are that Hull will
not show up, in Des Moines till after
the special election
