WAY Heat Causes Disease.

To tho Editor of the Dispatch:
The visitations OF cholera and yellow
fever, the most terrible of all epidemics,
occur only in hot weather. The city Of
Memphis number of years ago was
visited by an epidemic Of yellow-feyer,
which was far more destructive to life
and. possibly, to property than the
earthquake at Charleston.
The reason that these epidemics are
only possible in hot weather is that the
decomposition Of animal and vegetable
matter, which forms indus OF infec-
ton, is much more rapid under the in
huence OF heat
And the comparative immunity OF our
cities in late years from these epidemics
is no doubt due to greater cleanliness
and TO improved sanitary conditions en-
forced by tho municipal authorities.
We must submit to the earthquake as
mysterious and unavoidable visitation
OF Providence, but we can avert the ter
rors OF pestilence by the removal OF all
sources of infection and the proper use
of disiniectants.

presses the vital forces and frequently
causes sUnstroke, condition which may
occur in the shade as well as In the sun,
under very high temperatures.
Why are intestinal disorders, such as
diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera-inian-
tum, so prevalent in warm weather They
are due in the larger proportion Of cases
to errors in diet. The system requires
much less food in warm than in cold wea-
Their, because it is not required to keep
up the heat of the body. Consequently
any excess OF food beyond the wants OF
the system undergoes decomposition by
the heat of the body and acts as snIrritant.
Moreover, food of different nature is
required in hot weather. The rich, oily,
heat producing foods should be replaced
by fruits and vegetables and acid drinks.
1t would be difficult to conceive OF more
irrational and injurious diet in the heat
of summer than the salt-pork ration so
common among the laboring classes.

a Laay's Fearful struggle and Mar
row Escape.

A Pittsfeld (Mass.) telegram SAYS: Miss
Gertrude Clspp, young and wealthy society
lady, who resides In this city, was brutally
assaulted and robbed by some unknown
man oa Gold avenue last night at about half
past 0 O'Clock. She was walking alone from
Mrs. Aliens, on Pomeroy avenue, TO Mrs.
Hubbard's, on Gold avenue, distance OF
perhaps quarter OF mile.
SAVAGE ATTACK.
When she reached dark place where the
electric Hight Is almost shut out by the thick
foliage OF shade trees man leaped over the
hedge directly Ia front OF her and In hoarse
voice demanded her money. Miss Clapp 10
a very muscular young lady aud not easily
fr htcRed She refused TO give hin her
pocket-b book; but he stepped up to her and
took her roughly by the arms and told Der
he must have her money. She gave him
blow over the head with her umbrella, which
he snstched away from her. aud grasped her
by the hair. She then struck him vigorous
blow in the face with large glass smelling
bottle. This made the scOundrel very angry,
and with a terrible eaih he told her to give
up her money or be would murder her on
the spot. He bad pulled much OF her hair
out by this time and struck blow in her
face.
She called for help, and the man caught
her by the throat and threw her 10 the
ground, holding on TO her throat tightly and
DEMANDING her money. In her desperation
she handed him her pocket-book, which con-
tanned about $40 10 bills and some gold
pieces, In all about $40. The desperate now
relinqulshed bis hold OF her throat. and
having possession OF her Pocket-b book started
away q few steps.
ANOTHER STRUGGLE.
Miss Clapp now shouted "stop thiefl"
and he returned TO her and chOked her till
she came near fainting. Her situation was
now very del operate, and she struggled hard
with the villain, who had succeeded in throw
ing her upon the ground. The struggle
lasted for some time. The man continued to
curse, and Is no one approached be grew
holder. Miss Clspp found that she would
soon become exhausted. and she summoned
oil Der strength, and as he relaxed bis hand
from her throat she shouted - loud as she
could and the villain ran away.
Miss Clamp feared he would again attack
her, aud che rau as fast as her weak condi-
ton would allow her, and reached Lawyer
r. NJ. Woods residence, about twenty rods
away, on Gold avenue, Ia a very exhausted
state. There were wicked marks on her
throat, but ne other seTleus injury had been
done her.
The assault took place when the wind was
blowing very hard and Just as heavy thun-
der.shower was coming on from the north
west. The vivid flashes OF lightning revealed
the mans features aud dress. Miss Capp

years Of age, OF medium height, and OF

THE nEAD IN HOT WEATHER
A Veteran East Indian Tells How
Americans Envisc sunstrehes.

New York World.l
Before Captain Crockhart assumed
command OF the steamship Devonis he
served many years as first officer on
steamers plying through the Mediterra-
mean and the Suez canal to East Indian
ports. On his last trip TO New York he
chstted with g reporter about the hot
weather and the frequent records OF
prostrations and sunstrokes found in the
newspapers here during the torrid sum-
mer months.
alt is astonishing said be, "that a
people so practical and scientific as the
Americans should permit this evil to go
so long unchecked, for the vast majority
of rnnstrokes are easily prsventable by
affording proper protection to the head.
Almost every man | meet in New York
has his hair trimmed closely with one of
those diminutive lawn mowers in the
hottest months, and wears the iiimslest
sort OF hat, whether straw or felt.
That is weak shield against the pene-
trating rays of your glaring, scorching
sun. Women find a natural safeguard IN
their abundant hair, especially when
they wear it coiled on the top OF the
head. OF course they are not 80 much
exposed to the suns rays as the men are,
but even If they we're the ratio OF pros
tration would be much larger among the
males with their thin hesdgear and
closely-cropped hair. sunstroke is al
most unknown among tho natives OF
eastern countries. You may think
that the coiled turbsn OF sn
East Indian is heavy and ungainly
thing to wear above ones brain, but in
stinct and experience have taught him
the advisability of giving ample protee-
ton to the head, no matter how coolly
be May apparel the rest OF the body.
Then. too, the use of umbrellas Is very
general in countries near the equator.
Europeans in the Fast realize the value
of light but thick helmets. You in New
York will learn after awhile to wear the
right kind of hat in summer. Then there
will be few sunstrokes, except such as
are produced by sheer negligence or al
coholic excess

Alison J. Streeter, the candidate for
President on the Union Labor ticket,
was born in Rensselaer, county, New
York. January Is, 1923. His father
moved to Allegheny county in 1927, and
from there to Lee county, Illinois, in
1886. and when the land came into mar
etthere he entered 100 acres at the land
Office in Dixon. The subject OF this sketch
lived with his father on the farm until of
ter his majority, and had the opportunity
to attend school two winter quarters in
a log school-house which he helped to
build. He drove six yoke OF oxen IN
breaking team, raised wheat and corn,
and hunted game. In the fall he
threshed the wheat by tramping it with
the breaking team in circle on the
ground, and then hauled it to Chicago

The Republican. aud abe Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 14.-Some OF The
Republican senstors de not contemplate
long debate on the tariff In The doE.days
with compacency, and they have hit ueon
plan to avoid 1t aud at the same time make
an issue with the House on the Mills bill.
The plan is TO prepare substitute for that
bill when it reaches the Senate. report the
substitute, place IL on the calendar,
and there let it remain until the
next session Of Congress. They claim that
10 this way they would present TO the coun-

box of provisions taken from home. de-
llyered the wlreat sack by sack on board
OF q schooner, and received usually
about fifty cents a bushel for it.
At the age of twenty three MIR. Streeter
felt strongly his need OF an education.
Hearing OF Knox Manual Labor College,
now called Knox College, situated at
Galosburg, Illinois, where young men
might work their way while obtaining
an education, he thought this bis OPP
portunity, and in the succeeding fail,
with less than 500 in bis pocket, made
his way TO Galssburg across the then open
prairie. Upon arriving there he found that
the labor part of the institution was notin
working order. He did not, however, give
ND his intention TO make himself a
scholar. With what money he had he
bought books and paid one term OF tut
ton. He lived the first winter in gar
ret and boarded himself, and he worked
Saturdays and every hour that could be
spared from school. Being handy at
making oak shingles with trower and
drawing knife, he bought trees in the
timber, sawed them into blocks, and
hauled them to town. In this way he
had work always on hand, and at which
he could make good wages, and by so
doing maintained himself In school two
and one half years.
In the spring OF 1S49 Mr.. Streeter left
Knox College and went overland to Cali
fornia. He spent most OF eighteen
months in the mines, and with some
success. In 1888 he went across the
plains again with drove of CATTLE aud
again in 1854 with another drove. BY
both Of these ventures he made some
money. In 1856 he returned and bought
land near where he now lives, at New
Windsor, ILL.,, aud since that time has
built up large business in farming and
atock-rsising. He has, Notwithstanding
his extensive business. kept himself well
read on public Affairs.
His official record began soon after he
settled at New Windsor. he was several
times elected to servo on tho Board OF
Supervisors. In 1879 he was elected to
the State Legislature. During the war
he was 90 War Democrat. La 1874 he
severed his connection with the Demo
