Mr. Herrick to Return to Mississippi.
An exceptional professional
vtndication has been given to
Prof. Glenn w. Herrick, for sew
eral years State Entomologist at
the Mississippi Agricultural Ex
pertinent Station.
Brof. Herrick. it will be re-
called was one of the central fig.
ures in the celebrated contro-
versy at the Mississippi A. & M
College, and was asked by the
board of trustees to resign be-
cause he was one of the witness.
es who testified that he had no
confidence in President ]. c.
Hardy.
Immediately after Prof. Her.
rick's resignation was rendered
he wss offered a similar position
with the Texas Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, at consider
ably increased salary, which was
accepted.
Annou uncement is now made
that Prof. Herrlck will return to
Mississippi as Chief Entomolo-
glst at the experiment station
md chronological laboratory to
be established by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in the vicinity of GreeLyil1e.
The special purpose of establish
ing this station and laboratory,
which will be under the super
vision of Bureau of Plant Indus t.
ry. is to study the Mexican Boil
Weevi, a subject on which Prof.
Herrick is a recognized uthori-
ty, and he will have complete
charge of the station and it's
work. In order to accept the
place, he resigns a position with
the Texas station that pays a
salary of SO, 900 per year.
1t Is the theory of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, shared in by
Prof. Hunter, the Chief Entomo-
logist, and Prof. Knapp, gener.
al southern agent, that the
Mexican boil weevil will develop
new cha acieri,tics in it's migra-
zion across Mississippi, especi-
ally in the low and heavily tim
b cred portions of the Delta and
for this reason it was decided to
locate the experiment station
and laboratory near Greenville.
Prof. Herrick performed some
notably good work while con
nected with the Mississippi Ag
ricuItural Experiment Station,
and he has h ,usands of friends
throur hout the State. especially
among the farmers, who will be
pleased to learn that he is to
take charge of this important
work for the Federal Govern
ment.
1t is significant, also, that
Prof, Herrick returns to Miss
issippi with enlarged po wers and
duties, assuming charge of a
work thst is OF the most vital
concern to the common wealth.
During the recent college con-
troversy there was never a re-
fection of any kind on the char
acter of his work, for he is rec
ognized in scientific circles as
one of the most capable eutomol-
oglsts in the United States, and,
as the public will recall, his fore
ed removal resulted from the
fact that he was not on friendly
terms with the college manage
ment.-Yazoo Sentinel.

R ign of Terror in Sturges"
The Commercial Appeal in its is
sue of March 18th publishes the
following special from Jackson:
Zone of the most striking in
stances of the need for some
go I'D leavenlng influence at work
in order to strengthen the mora
senu nent OF d community, which
has been reported to the yovern-
or, as he stated today, is the SIT
uatioD at Sturges, in Oktibbeha
county, where reign of terror
and lawlessness has prevailed for
months past, and which seems
difficult to check. This is the
town in which DR.. Richardson,
the mayor, who was also a hem
ber of The state board of health
for the First district, was ruth
lessly shot down by members of
the Ed wards clan, who 70 all ap-
pealances and from all accounts

bones of such little matters as

object of threats and. has been
directed to abdicate and leave
town, and has even been openly
attacked by the hoodlum gang
: who would control things and de
fly punishment 70 their own der

i shot at by some of these parties,
and twas through no fault OF
theirs hat he was not killed or
( seriously wounded, uule,s the
fact that the assassins were un-
able to shoot straight and true
may be characterized as fault
According to Gov. Noel's in :
for 'lation it is sorry. state of
affairs in Oktibbeha, and he
trusts that the magisterial inves-
tigat ion now being conducted at
Starlsuille will be fruitful. ("
The above is erroneous and
sensational 10 the extreme and a
SANDER vi on the fair name of
Oktibbeha County, and The Com
mercial Appeals representative
and Gov. Noel have misrepre
sented matters or have permitte 1
themselves to be gulled by an in
formant who had little regard
for facts. II is true that an un-
fortunate state of affairs exists
in Sturges. The killing of DR..
Richardson is deplored by all
and the young men who CON-
mitted the deed are, now under
tyad awaiting the action of the
grand jury. There is no such
thing In existence as "The Ed
wards Clan and such assertions
does injustice to many members
of that excellent family who are
law abiding citizens. The two
young men AL and Dixie Edwards
who killed DIR. Richardson are
answerable to the courts, and as
we said before are under heavy
bond for their appearance. The
TIMES Is not defending their
act and we believe that in their
case the law will be vlndicated, :
if guilty they will be punished;
If not glilty will be acquitted.
AS to the reference to the
Sbropshlre-Turner affair; it Is
iegrettable and discreditable
from any view point, and Shrop-
shire and companions are now un.

Turner is pending id the courts.

NEW CURE FOR CANCER.

The theory that fever and inflam-
nation are merely natures weapons
to fight maladies is the basis of an
Interesting new medical system which
is being applied in st. Louis with re-
suits that have astonished the ex-
perimenters. says the St Louis POST
Dispatch.
In acting on the new theory re-
earding fever and inflammation
method first devised by DR.. August
Bier. a celebrated German surgeon.
is used DR. A. Seibent of 1647
South jefferson avenue. is convert
to the new theory and believer IN
the Bier method. which he is using
daily.
The method consists in holding the
blood in an affected part-the lungs.
the brain. or a gangrened finger
long enough to permit the diseased
tissues to take up all the nourish-
ment in the blood This is done at
frequent intervals, and is accomplish
ed by means of bandages and vac
uum-producing devices. The arti-
ficially produced congestion is known
in medicine as "hperemie."
DR. Bier designed his system for
use in surgical cases, but DR.. Siebert
has extended its use to so-called
medical cases.
When Post-Dispatch reporter
asked Dr. Siebert to explain his use
of the Bier method he said that one
of his cases is that of a young man
who had suffered from epilepsy for
years experiencing one or more seiz-
ures daily until the treatment was
begun. This young mans head has
been bandaged twice daily, the band
age being so arranged as to force
the blood to remain in his head and
permit the brain to take up the nour-
ishment from it. In 5 months the
patient has not had a seizure, and
DIR. Siebert believes he will be well
in year and a half.
The young man was struck on the
head with a baseball bat in boyhood-
The lesion of the brain produced
epilepsy His case was supposed to
be incurable. or at the best, curable
only through a dangerous surgical
operation.
The use of the bandages about the
head and neck in this case in its re-
Iation to the new reasoning regard
ing fevers is explained as follows:
Starting with the hypothesis that
nature puts forth no useless or un-
intentional effort. it was deduced
that all fever. which is present in
almost all diseases. was only an in
creased activity of the blood in ma
ture's effort to throw off the dis
ease-a sort of hyperemine of the
entire body.
In another case breast affected
by cancer was removed entirely.

tissue. built up by frequent hypere-
mie was formed behind it.

THE BIG RACE
IS CALLED OFF

The sport carnival which was to
have been held under the direction of
Harry Withers of Denver has been
positively declared Off Supt. Burton
wired this afternoon that Saul and
Don would withdraw from this date
and enter another meet. which is
under the direction of Captain Bryan
of the \. A. U. of Colorado. The
reasons for doing this are that no
satisfactory agreement could be
reached with the former manage
ment in a financial way and because
Captain Bryan in the opinion of both
Mr.. Burton and Rex Barber, who
also declined to ride in the meet of
July 12. was more entitled from past
obligations, to secure the manage
ment of the races. The new date set
will probably be July l when a pro-
gram very much like the one an
nounced yesterday will be given.

HE MAKES A STATEMENT.

Grand Junction, Colo, June %
MIR. Hall Harrison. general agent
for Colorado. who is assisting Mr.. f.
A. Hornbeck. land commissioner of
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
railroad. in the sale of Pecos valley
land has recently made statement
in our office in regard to everyone
who has ever considered the lower
Pecos valley either from standpoint
of an investor, or with the idea of
going there to live.
Mr. Harrison said in part that up
to short time ago. he had always
been able to say that of the many
men from Colorado whom he had
taken down to the Pecos valley. only
one man had returned without in
vesting in the land. Recently he
sold Mr.. H. II. Dresser. of Montrose,
Colorado, forty acres, and this sale
now enables him to say that up to the
present time every Colorado man
that has gone down into Texas with
him has purchased land in the Pecos
valley. MIR. Dresser being the one
man who had previously returned
without buying.
1t is only fair to say that when Mr.
Dresser went to Texas. he intended
going South as far as the City of
Mexico, and went through the Pecos
valley simply because he found it
convenient to do so. After returning,
he expressed himself as being much
impressed with some of the land he
saw in Southern Mexico. He did not
purchase any down there, and when
Mr.. Harrison was in Montrose recent
ly, Mr.. Dresser bought forty acres
of land adjoining that which the men
from Colorado had bought
We think This statement from Mr.
Harrison of having sold every man
whom he has taken down from this
state into the lower Pecos valley will
be read with great deal of interest
by many people i'm this locality. mad
certainly it is a wonderful record.

alist. and the affairs which she gives
at her home on Massachusetts ave-
nue. are regarded as treats by those
fortunate enough to be invited.

COLORADO FRUIT THE BEST.

is now shipping apples to Cali

that even in the state which for a
long time has borne the reputation of
being the leading fruit state of the
country. Colorado products are being
recognized as of superior quality.
That is not surprising to the people
of this state. 1t has long been known
that Colorado fruit. in point of quail
ity and taste, leads the country. and
buyers in the great
Eastern markets have also held this
opinion for considerable period.
with the result that Colorado fruit
commands the highest prices in the
markets of the world
Nevertheless, it is the popular
idea that California leads the world
in fruit culture, and this futher evil
dence that this state produces fruit
of better grade than the great coast
commonwealth should serve a useful
purpose in producing a wider vogue
for Colorado fruit and thus aiding
one of the most important Industries

seems that there is not now any

it not that the local brick companies
had imposed on the city and on the
people by furnishing inferior brick for
paving laid a few years ago. and which
is today in such a state that new brick
will have to be laid within a year or
two; it is more than possible that the
home companies could have secured

interesting enough to the council to
fact that the Elmhurst syndicate asked
the city to establish grade for, and
make such cuts and fills, as would be
required for the laying of cement

around Topeka that should have as
much consideration as the brick indus

three stone crushers- that are owned

crushers furnish crushed stone to use
in the making of cement walks; and
about the only argument that can be
presented in favor of brick walks Is
that it furnishes a market to the brick
