Lewis Bakers Paper Wins.

A libel suit for $4,000 damages
brought by Amelia Kertogs, a Mime
apolis dressmaker, against the st.
Paul Daily Globe has just been de-
cided in favor of the paper. The
Globe charged that the plaintiffs bus
mess was not confined to dressmaking
but was extended to that ofprocuress
for houses of i'll fame as far west as
Montana. The charges we're proven.
Judge Young, in his charge to the
jury, held it was proper that the pa
per should seek to uncover and ex-
pose corruption wherever found after
aproper and thorough investigation.
An effort was made in the jury room
to place the cost on the Globe be-
cause of it's ability to pay. This was
frowned down, as an outrage on de-
cency. The Globe prints the result
of the first vote Of the jury as:
"Goose eggs, 6 J cent, L; cent, 2;
6 cents, 1926, L." The verdict is
looked upon in St.Paul as just one,
and we offer our congratulations to
our contemporary on its victory.

Natural Gas at Terra Alta.


OAKLAND Nd, July 13.-Parties
who were drilling an artesien well
at Terra Alta, W. Va, few days
ago for the purpose of supplying the
town with water discovered what
they believed to be gas issuing from
the tube. Upon applying match
the gas ignited, and the people there
confidently believe that natural gas
has been found. The owners of the
premises have contracted with the
drillers to go two or three hundred
feet deeper for the purpose of inves-
tigation. The supposed find has
produced some excitement amongst
the property owners in the locality
referred to.

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Christian Temperance Women Will, on
July 20, Hold Memorial Services
In Honor Of the Late
Mrs. X. b. Hayes.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The following
address to the Christian Temper
ancc Women of the world is issued
here;
To all Officers and Members Of the
W. C. Z. IT,:
BELOVED SISTERS No woman ever
lived who did so much to discounte-
nance the social use of intoxicants
as that loyal and lamented Christian
matron, Mrs. Ex-President Hayes.
She struck key note that rings to-
day in ten Thousand homes of wealth
and fashion and re-echoes in the
grateful memory of millions, who,
against a desperate appetite have
formed holy resolution. Her heart
was with us in the great crusade of
1874. Her husband gave the weight
of his vast influence to sustain his
wife in her noble purpose of purify
ing social customs by placing before
the world the wineless dinner table
of the White House. Mrs. Hayes
belonged to no one nation, but TO
humanity, and l am confident that
the White Ribboners of Great Britain
and Canada, indeed of every land,
will, with chastened sympathy, unite
with US in the public declaration of
our loyalty and love. For such a
woman and patriot, for such a wife
and mother, we cannot do too much
to manifest our interest, our rever-
ence. America never suffered sad
der loss than in losing Lucy Webb
Hayes. Then let memorial services
be held by every local union on Sun
day, July %. Tell the story of this
woman's sacred life to your children;
and by every means possible impress
the lesson of this great life upon all
whom you can reach.
The last chapter of Proverbs, de-
lineating perfect woman's charac-
ter, is suggested as the most fitting
portrayal of our honored sisters life
and character.
Yours in bereavement, but though
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing over
the record of her who SO gloriously
"Allured to brighter worlds and led
the way"
FRANCES K. WILLARD,
Worlds President.

The Hottest Weather Known.


What is the hottest weather
ever known in the United States?''
The question is answered in the May
bulletin of the Kentucky Statistical
Weather Service The highest tenn
perature recorded by the United
States Signal Service was at Phoenix
and Fort Mcdowell, Ariz., in June,
1888. The thermometer marked liz
degrees.-However, unofficial observ-
ers report temperature as high as
12S and 122 degree at Mammoth
Tank and Humboldt, Cal. The cold
est day weather reported BY the SER
vice was SO degrees below zero, at
poplar River, Mon. But this is a
warm place compared with Wercho-
jansk, Siberia, the coolest inhabited
spot on the globe The thermometer
has been as low as 30 degrees below
zero. In view of these figures, let
us not complain Of paltry 90 de
grecs above zero.

Losses Of Property and life at Johns.
town.

The estimate of the local commit
tee at Johnstown of the loss of prop
perty in the Conemaugh valley makes
the aggregate $3.50, ia; but this
does not include the losses of the
Cambria Iron Company, the Johns
town Manufacturing Company and
the Cambria and Westmoreland Ma
tural Gas Company. The committee
divides the sufferes by the flood into
six classes, five of which. numbering
$3.50, should receive immediate aid
by the distribution of the relief fund
to the extent of $l,1S6,000. The
State commission has been in session
at Cresson to determine what action
should be had on the report of the
local committee. While an approx
imation of the total money. losses
has been reached approaching cor
rectness. the number of lives lost
seems to be as uncertain and as far
from determination as it was a
month ago. Father DAWN, of Cam
bria City, who in that village alone
handled $50 bodies, holds to the be-
lief that fully 5000 people were lost
altogether. c. B. Clark, who had
completed directory of the devas-
tated section short time before the
flood, estimates the loss of life at o.
600. He says it may be higher, but
certainly will not go lower. Dr..
Beale, who had charge of the morgue,
had record of 2,400 bodies recover
ed when he handed control over to
the State. At the bureau of infor-
nation there is record of only l.
600 bodies. 1t is known that many
of the dead were buried without any
registry being made Of them. The
surviving doctors of the valley are
quoted as estimating the number Of
dead at 10000, and that figure is as
likely as any other to go down in
history Pittsturg Post.

The following document has been

"But to resume the thread of my
discourse: The boys who are
anxious to be my successor are very
hungry; they have been feeding on
shucks and icicDes for four long,
weary years; the official calf is tat

joints. They fought (among them

CORPORAL TANNERS PLIGHT.
A Conference That Points TO His Future
Retirement

There is much interest as to the
nature of a conference at the interior
department between Secretary Noble
Assistant Secretary Bussey and Com
missioner of Pensions Tanner These
gentlemen are reticent concerning
the reason for this meeting, but il
is said the condition of business in
the pension office was the subject OF
discussion
The mild explanation does not
allay the suspicion that Corporal
Tanner has been hauled over the
Goals for his administration of the
pension Office. The first conspicu-
Gus act of Secretary Mobiles admin
istration was his pointed order to
Tanner preventing him from making
Wholesale dismissals and appoint
ments without consulting the head
of the department of the interior.
Then came series of disclosures in
relation to the re-rating of pensions,
and lastly the damaging exposures
of the railroad" cases, and Private
Secretary Squire's correspondence
with the widow.
Tanner was given l0-day's leave
of absence in which to cool of, and
in the meantime Assistant Secretary
Bussey has practically been running
the pension office. That he has
fully informed himself on the demon
alizatisn and disorder in that insti-
tuition is evident from the fact that
yesterday he removed three of the
examining surgeons in charge of APP
plications for re-ratings. To remove
three of the commissioner princi
pal subordinates during his absence
was at least discourteous, if nothing
more.
The efforts of Secretary Noble to
keep Tanner within bounds appear
to have been in vain, and the confer
ence of to-day looks like the prelude
to his dismissal. In that event
Bussey will probably succeed him.
The assistant secretary is soldier
and served under Noble during the
war

VOLUME XIV.
Trusts and Monopolies Examined and
Explained.
Baltimore Sun .

The Sun is publishing series of
articles on trusts and monopolies
by the Hon. William L. Wilson, of
West Virginia, whose study of the
nature and effects of these industrial
developments has been exceptionally
thorough and complete. Represen-
tative Wilson was member of the
committee on manufactures charged
by the House on January rs, 1888,
with the task of investigating the
nature of trusts and their effect up
on the well-being of the people. In
the fourteen months given to the in
quiry the subject was considered in
all it's aspects, and with the infor-
nation then and since obtained the
author of the Suns articles will be
able to treat his theme with the full
ness and accuracy it's Importance re-
quires. The vigor and simplicity
of his style insure its discussion in
language that everybody will under
stand His speech on the tariff in
the Fiftieh Congress was more wide
ly read, perhaps, than any other dis
cussion of the issue of the last ma
tional campaign, thanks to the clear
ness and force of intellect with
which Mr.. Wilson approaches his
subject. Having been a professor
in Columbian College for some years
before he became a Representative
of the second district, he not only
knows what perspicuity of state
ment is, but knows also how neces-
sary it is in addressing a popular
audience. Our readers may, there
fore, expect discussion of practi
cal matter by practical man in
plain and pleasing terms. In secur-
ing these articles on trusts and mon
opolies from master of the subject
the Sun is following in the same line
of public interest which caused it to
obtain q series of articles from Prof.
Ely, of the Johns Hopkins Universe
ty, on the tariff and other problems
of today" afterwards published in
book form land a like series from
Senator Vance. The tariff fight is
still in progress. The campaign of
last fall was on the issue the San
foresaw. The cause of tariff reform
encountered temporary defeat sim
ply because the people had too
short time to inform themselves Of
it's meaning. Money was potent in
New York md Indiana because the
voters were Indifferent about an is
sue they did not understand. But
they are learning day by day, and
the trusts fostered by the high tariff
are object lessons of most convinc-
ing character. A plain statement of
their effects upon both producers
and consumers of articles of daily
necessity will suffice, it is believed,
to secure their universal condemna-
ton and ultimate destruction.
