Mason City, May 29.-Sheriff Hold
Iren and. Deputy Sheriff Buchanan es-
| tablished conc'usively yesterday the
identity of the late L. H. Cook, about
whom there has, been so much discus
sion and SO little that was satisfactory
In making another search Of the be-
longings of tho man who committed
suicide here several weeks ago. Sheriff
Holdren came accidentally across sew
.eral letters which were slowed away
in an unlocked for spot which proves
without the least doubt who the man
was and where he originally came
from.
Mrs. Briggs story about the man
| being her father is totally unfoupded
and she will have to continue her
search elsewhere.
Letters were found which were d.
rected to Randolph 8. Mains and i
was revealed III these letters that he
had brother Frank and sister
Emma. 1t was also discovered that
| the late Cook was a beneficiary to an
estate which amounted to over $16,-
900. A letter was also found which
came from another brother, John S.
Mains, who lived at French Guleh,
California. This brothers picture
was enclosed and closely resembled
the features of Cook
The alleged Cooks home was orig
inally in New York and he formerly
travelled in that state as was found by
reading his correspondence. He was
genius in way and had had pat
ented among other things a cooking
apparatus and u lamp burner. One Of
these patents was dated 1871. 1t was
also revealed that Cook wanted a new
patent granted him.
This patent was for the granting
Of new map device of some kind.
The map patent explains what at first
appeared to the officers as setting
down the deceased as a convict or
some such tough character. This has
now been disqualified and altho it was
found that when Mains was travelling
for a match concern in the east and
got into trouble with them, he prob
ably did nothing extraordinarily
wrong.
Sheriff Holdren will take the matter
of the $4,000 up with the New York
city attorneys office and perhaps Sc
cure enough money for the expenses
left here If possible in that way.
Mains was a married man and his
wife's first name was Hattie.
Up to the year 1902 Sheriff Holdren
found that the man had used his prop
er name, signing legal documents,
etc, but after that date he was known
respectively by either of the follow
ing: Fish. Cock or Mains. This was
all probably due to. the fact that heF
had had trouble with the match con-
Germ for which he was travelling.

Creston, May ca peculiar con-
dition prevails at Alton, near here, the
entire town being involved in a class
scrap In the high school there, and the
business men Of the town being lined
up, on one side or the other. A class
fight which has been in progress four
days between the seniors on one side

other came to head Sunday night
when thettwo factions headed by lead
ing business men Of the town attacked
each other. Z Mr.. Ross Henderson, the

building, where the juniors had planted
their colors, and tore them down. I'M

A German statistician has made a
careful investigation to discover in
which countries the greatest age is
attained. The German Empire, with
55.O00,O00 population, has but rs sub
jects who are more than 100 years old
France, with fewer than 40,000,00
has 213 persons who have passed their
Tooth birthday. England has LAG. Scot
land 46, Denmark 2. Belgium 5, Swe-
den 10. and Norway, with 2,000,000 TO-
habitants, 23. Switzerland does not
boast a single centenarian, but Spain,
with about 100000 population, has
40. The most amazing figures come
from that troublesome and turbulent
region known as the Balkan peninsu-
lar. Servia has 57S persons who are
more than 100 years old, Roumania
1884 and Bulgaria 1888. In other words
Bulgaria has a ceatenarlan to every
100 inhabitants, and thus holds the 'n-
ternational record for old people. IN
1892 alone there died in Bulgaria $50

tury.-New Orlean States.

FEW CROSS TIES LEFT.
Railroads VIII Soon Exhaust TimSl,
Supply.

cePpiys
At the present rate Of consumption
the railroads will soon run out Of
timber for cross ties. Even IL there
| were no other great consumer Of tim.
I Der, 1t would be question of only A
| few years before the forests of thu
country would vanish to supply the.
ever increasing hunger for ties. IN,
1905, according to pamphlet lust
issued by the forest service Of the
Department Of Agriculture, the rail.
reads used 91,500000 ties. OF this
enormous number, 14,459. 521, or about
1875 percent were used in the con.
struct!on of new track and 63,521,7Os
for renewals. About 100000 were
consumed by the electric lines Of the
United States. The experts at the
forestry bureau estimate that about
onefourth OF the total quantity Of oak
Ii -er cut last year went into railroad
ties. The average tie contains thirty
board feet Speaking of the depletion
Of the forests by the railroads, the
pamphlet says:
Until a comparatively short time
ago the railroads were usually able
to secure an ample supply of ties from
lands adjacent to their rights of way.
This has been especially true of the
network of lines which traverse the
territory east of the Mississippi
River. While the source is by no
means exhausted, 1t has become seri-
ously depleted, and where in former
years the purchasing agent could COR
tract for an almost unlimited num-
Der of white oak ties, with the assur.
ance that they would be promptly
furnished, at the present time ii is
necessary to contract for small quar-.
titles and to anticipate the demand
far in advance.
the supply of tie material was not
limitless, and more specially when
IL was found that the durable white
oak could no longer be secured in sui.
ficient quantities to meet the demands
for renewals and new track, an at
tempt was made TO devise methods
for increasing the length of service Of
the inferior woods. Tie plates wereh
introduced with marked success fn1
reducing the wear when used on soft
woods. 1t was soon found, however,
that the tie plate was not sufficient
since the wood decayed so rapidly
that renewals in a short time were Of
ten necessary. To met this problem
experiments in preservative treat
ments OF ties were taken up by sew
eral railroad companies, some Of them
working in cooperation with the
forest service, and 1t seems safe to
predict that within a comparatively
short period of time more treated
than untreated ties will be used. The
statistics for 1905 show that 7,5100p0
ties. or nearly 10 percent of the total
number purchased, were given a prf
sentative treatment of some charac
ter
In 1905 at least ten railroad CON-
panies were operating their own plants
for the preservation of their construc-
tion material. and several others are
contemplating the installation of such
plants. In addition to the roads
which tpeat their own timber many
others have their timber treated at
commercial treating plants.-Wash-

heard of all the old plans OF getting

AFTERNOON, and coming out with spir-
its enlivened and moustache decorated
with a susplciously foamy substance.
There are many Marion people who
have peaceably entered refreshment
emporiums through side doors, or
have bought some cooling beverage
which was called coffee, but which
looked more like suds. There are a
great majority, however, who have
probably never heard of an unique idea
for lid-lifting tnat has been insti-
tuted by an exceptionally enterprising
local saloonist.
Finding that the lid as applied
by Mayor Louie is a contrivance
which che old side-door ald coffee
cup methods cannot phase, this
saloonist bought a monkey. 1t is n
measly, flee bitten illustration OF
Darwinism of the most fragrant type
but 1t serves the purpose.

but the thirsty ones pay little at

something like that. but nothing
further. The room at the rear Is the

Unless you are wise to the pass
