SHAFT
FOR HIS HORSE

CHICAGO, Sept. "a $4,000 monu-
ment for his horse is a feature that
has been Incorporated in the will Of
Henry Graves, the Oldest settler of
Chicago. who now lies near deaths
door at his home. He came to the lit
tie settlement about Fort Dearborn in
1881.
A pioneer racing man and ever q
lover Of horses, Mr.. Graves has provid-
ed that the costliest monument ever
erected for a horse will be placed in
Washington park. 1t will memorial
ize Ike Cook, a famous trotter which
he owned so years ago.
Ike Cook had record OF 1880. which
in those early days was remarkable

horse to make that mark on a one-mile
track in the state Of Illinois. The ami
NAL was famous throughout the coun-
try, and with Mr.. Graves driving him

MORE WORK
FOR RA|NMAKER

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 6.-The
farmers in this district are considering
the proposition to again engage c. M.
Hatfield, the "rainmaker." to produce
moisture for them the coming season.
The season he worked in this section
of the state the rain, came and the
agriculturists were happy. They Sc
cured large crops. although in 1906
some of the farmers claim that Hat
field exceeded his contract.
He guaranteed 10 inches of rain on
the West Side for $4,000, and before
the end of the season more than II
inches fell injuring some of the crops
while others profited by the excessive
moisture. A letter was received here
today from Hatfield He says he is
willing to guarantee 10 inches, but
does not want any limit placed on his
work, as he is liable most any time
to bring down a surplus.

TO ERADICATE
THISTLE PEST

PULLMAN, Wash, Sept. 6.-This
week the experiment station received
letter from ]. A. B., of Everett, ask
ing how to exterminate the Canadian
thistle Prof. w. s. Hornblower horti-
culturist, replied as follows:
THE Canadian thistle is a hard
plant to fight but by judicious cutting
and cultivation you can eradicate it.
The plant must be kept from forming
a growth above the surface of the
ground for at least one year in order
that your efforts for its determination
may be successful. The plant spreads
by underground stems or roots which
are thrown from the parent plant, 81
merely destroying the parent plant will
not kill the weed. A good, careful cut
ting during the month of June, follow
ed by other cuttings in the latter part
of July and on through August, will
check the thistle materially and may
destroy it entirely. 1t is generally
quite difficult to eradicate the plant in
pastures and fence corners, since a
small residue will be left undestroyed,
which will grow during the following
year. There is no spray that will kill
it. Sometimes 1T is helpful to cut the
thistle off about three inches below the
surface of the ground and apply salt
to the cut surface, which causes the
root to rot by drying out. In cult
waited fields 1t Is usually advisable to
rake out the underground stems and
allow them to dry thoroughly before
blowing again"

WOMAN HIS PAL
IN BURCLAR|ES

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. e.
John F. Hiffernan, a eIf-confessed
Jekyll- Hyde in real life, pleaded guilty
in police court to the charge of burg
larry, and Mary Connolly, who was
supposed to be his wife, pleaded not
guilty, although she previously admit
ted her completely in daring breaks"
Hiffernan was held for the grand jury
Hiffernan, until recently, was the
leading Springfield hotel. He worked
"long" and a short" day, an ar
rangement which gave him every other
night to himself. His nights off, ac-
cording to his own admission, he spent
in breaking into homes of the well-to-
by an alleged partner in crime. The
Connolly woman told the police last
night of two houses visited in the
dead of night which she assisted Hiff-
ernan to ransack
Hiffernan is a clever locksmith and
went armed. Once he was obliged to
threaten to kin a woman whom he

touched her forehead with the barrel
of a revolver.
To limited circle of acquaintance
the man and woman were known as
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Green. They are
rs and "a years old. For months past
the police have been at their wits end
to procure a clue to the perpetrators
of series of daring burglaries in the
homes Of prominent Springfield resi-
dents, obviously the work of the same
persons. The failure of the police to
find the burglars led Mayor Sanderson
to call special meeting of the police
commission to appoint a chief of po-
lice who would. The choice fell on In
