Meteorological Forecasts for
 August.

The following weather forecasts for August, are taken from Word and Works. published at St. Louis. hy Rev. Irl k. Hicks, and will be found reliable. He has shown him. self the most correct prognostcator of the age:
 The continued and destructive rainfalls in June and July have more than vindicated every effort we have made to prepare the public for such visitations. The Jovian disturbance of which we have written and spoken since 1884 as positively as language would permit, is no longer dim con lecture or meaningless array of red figures on the Planetary Storm Prophet. It has materialized!
 The electrical excitement caused hy Jupiter and Mars, throughout July. will more than likely eN- press itself in scattering storms about the first or second days of August. If detached, reactionarv storms do not occur about this time. it will be and will continue very warm until after the next storm pe- riod, which is central on the 9th, running from the 4th to the 9th with some heavy rains about the danger day. From the l6th to the 20th, with Vulcan as disturbing center on the l1th. is the middle storm pe- riod for August, It will begin and continue hot. The reaction of tenn perature will not take place until af- ter the severe storms on or about the danger days, shown on the calen- dar.
 The third and last regular storm period for the month is from about the 21th until September the lst or 2nd. The equinoxes of both Mercu- " and Venus, as shown in the Plan etary Storm Prophet, will help to eX- cite and prolong the last August pe- riod--also the autumnal equinox from September 22d. Please note these facts. Learn the length and value of planets ;period of disturb ance, and many unexplained difficult ties will vanish.
 The days of probable storms out side the regular periods are about the l2th and 23d.
 Should the regular storm periods pass without storms, with high tenn pcrature and no thunder and light ming, frequent and severe earth . quake shocks-not necessarily dan gcrous, may be looked for, especial ly about the end of the month.

Why Not Make it Certain.

If protection as 1t is preached by it's advocates is meant to reach the laboring men, why not make it cor tain to de soy
 The enormous protective levy on steel rails has made it impossible for foreign manufacturers to compete with Mir. Carnegie in their manufac- ture, and the result has been that that thrifty person has by that protec- tion been enabled to evolve himself from a pcnnilcss emigrant to thir- ty-millionairc in twenty years. His protection was a certainty. because whenever competition brings down prices to a non-paying or losing point, first wages are reduced and finally Mir. Carnegie mills stop and the laborcrs are discharged. and he goes to his home in the far-away Highlands, enjoying his millions with his patron, friend and political ideal, Blaine-leaving his laborers where? How! If in the interest of the manufacturer this may be done why could not and should it not be enacted that the laborer should have a fixed rate of pay as one of the lac tors in the business.
 This is not, never has been and cannot be done-capital only is or can be protected.
 Let any party attempt to make any employment certain in it's yield and in that attempt will the fallacv of the protection principle be shown and its advocates proven frauds.
 Let the protectionists who seek to hoodwink and mislead the laboring man with seductive campaign catch phrases be met with demand for protection for labor that will protect, not that deception which enables capital to employ labor at free trade rates. while it sells it's products at protection prices, pocket the differ ence while it pays and stop business without notice to or provision or care for labor when it does not pay.
 Why not make protection to labor certain, and upon that basis let cap ital seek investment.
 Ifthis can he done, why should it not he: Is it can not be done, then tect a fallacy in theory, fraud in fact.-Ex.

This same pool was in Washington a short time ago on their knees to con- gress begging that the tariff of 3c per yard should not be reduced to 9c, stating that it would destroy the homes of the manufacturers and the 1900 poor laboring people employed in mills in St. Louis. They have advanced prices 60 per cent, and we are reliably informed that their poor laborers have not had their wages raised one mill but the 5000, ,000 poor colored people south who raise the cotton are being forced to pay this & ,000, ,O00 advance to the man. ufacturers.

Upon the former sum the Government received the tariff duty at its custom-houses, amounting to little more than i6 per cent. ad- valorem, while upou the latter the duty was received by the manufactu- rers, who, by means of the tariff, were enabled to mark their goods 56 per cent higher, hefore foreign goods would come in competition with thom.-l'Iom Senator Coke s speech on the tariff,

A Kentucky Tragedy.

MUNFoRDvILLE, KY, July To-
This morning Elias Franklin, a we'll
TODD farmer living just south of
Green river. in this county, shot and
killed Jas, b. Trent, his hired hand,
who was at the time at work on his
farm in the field. Two shots were
fired, both taking effect in the breast
near the heart, the victim dying with
out a word. Immediately after the
killing Franklin told woman, who
was milking a COW in an adjoining
field, that he had killed Trent because
he had caused his wife to desert him.
Trent has been living in the same
house with his employer since the
first of January, and it was not
known by their neighbors that their
was any trouble in the family, though
it has been whispered for several
weeks that Franklin's wife, who is
young and beautiful, was too fond of
Trent, who is also young and is I'M
married. Last Saturday Mrs. Frank
lin left home and went to her people
in another county, where she now is.
Yesterday Franklin was seen with a
new Winchester repeating rifle, and
was heard to say that he had just
bought the gun, and that, too, for a
special purpose. The Coroner's jury
has just returned a verdict in accor-
dance with the above facts. All the
parties are well known and respected.
Franklin is still at large, and the
Sheriff and posse are hard after him.

A SLICK YOUNG LADY.

DETROIT, MICH, July 9.-There has
just been brought to public notice
here sixteen-year old forger, whose
career is almost without parallel.
She is the daughter of Joseph Mar
tin, a respected builder, and is known
as Ismi Martin and as Miss Bagg,
the latter name being assumed for
purpose of deceit. Her first game
was to secure desk room weeks ago
in the office of an advertising firm.
One established here she began sys-
tematically to extend her acquaint-
ance as an apparently trusted en-
ploye of the firm. One evening she
dropped into an office adjoining
where she worked, and said she had
small check which her employers
could not cash, as they had made
their deposit for the day. The check
was cashed This movement was
repeated after this in various places.
Her most remarkable exploit, how
ever,was an attempt to collect $5S of a
New York correspondent of the firm.
A telegram was received at the Office
saying that certain dispatch sent to
the correspondent had not been de-
livered, as he was out of town. No
telegram had been sent by member
of the firm and an investigation was
made. This resulted in showing that
the girl had sent the following tele-
gram to the firms New York cor

6 If we do not receive your draft

For these and many other like at
tempts to get money the girl had but
one excuse-that she had told her
mother she was at work, getting $6 a
week; therefore, she felt obliged to
obtained at least that amount of mon.
ey in that way each week.
