AUGUST WEATHER,
The Most Dangerous Storms of August
Expected From the 18th to
the 24th.
Danger to Navigation on the Lakes, the North
Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico-Cause
OF the Disturbances.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
OMAHA. NEB.. Aug. BIN my last letter
gave forecasts OF the storm waves due to cross
the Mississippi valley from the 18th to the 18th.
The next following it will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about the 18th, cross the Missis-
sippi valley from the 18th to the 18th, and reach
the Atlantic coast about the 18th. 1t will in
crease in force from the time it crosses the Mis-.
sisspp valley, about the 18th, till it reaches the
Atlantic ocesn, about the 2Oth.
This will inaG5urate the greatest storm period
of the month, and the most dangerous storms of
August may be expected from the 10th to the
Z4th.
The causes that will greatly increase the force
of the storms of this storm period are: Venus
crosses the SUMS equator on the 10th, the moon
crosses the earth S equator on the 18th, and Mer
curry crosses the suns equator at its greatest
disturbing point on the 10Th These three dis
turbanceS occurring within four days will act as
does the alternating current OF the electro
dynamo machines. and will cause great activity
in the earth's electric currents This wall be
the tornado period OF August.
These storms will range further south than
did those of July but cannot give their
act locations. The center of the low barometers
will probably cross the Mississippi about st.
Louis, but the dangerous part OF the storm IS
seldom near its center; 1t is usually south OF
the center.
This whole storm period, 18th to the oath,
will be very dangerous to water navigation on
the lakes, the North Atlantic and the gulf OF
Mexico. This period of storm disturbances
will also break up the drouth in many places
and check excessive rains In others. 1t is one
OF those periods that usually change the
weather conditions generally.
During these disturbances the moon Will pass
south OF the earth's equator. This has the
effect of pulling the flow tide OF the ea Tth's at
mosphere from the Northern to the Southern
hemisphere, with cooler weather in the North
ern. When the earth's atmosphere Is pulled
south it leaves a less dense atmosphere north and
permits the cold of outer space to more readily
penetrate the earth. W. 7. FOSTER.

A NEUTRAL STRIP CASE.
In 1887 a Young Man was Killed-One of His
As3ailants in Jail at Psris-Judge

Special to the Gazette.


PARIS. TEX, Aug. 13.-Another No-Man's-
Land Gaze came before Judge Bryant to day,
which will occupy as much attention as the
Cross cases. In 1887 young man named Cyrus
Nj. Gilbert held flock of sheep in the Strin
which he watered at the Duck Pond lake or
springs. Several families had formed a settle
ment around the springs and became dissatisfied
with Gilbert $ presence, and on November held
q meeting and issued warning TO Gilbert to
move out with his sheep. Gilbert began gath
ering up to move, and on :he morning of the
9Th he started to the springs to look for some
missing sheep. As he approached the bed of
the stream party OF men rsse up and fred at
him. Gilbert returned the fire. His assailants
fired second volley, shooting him mortally.
Then they came out and stood around him, and
he asked them TO pull off one of his boots. as
his foot cramping him terribly.
After much begging they did SO. Then he asked
for water. 'Get your water in hi. - was the
reply as they moved away. His father, who
lived half 4 mile away, heard the shooting, has
tened to theScreek and found him still alive. He
lived eight hours and gave q full, clear state
ment of the murder and the murderers' names.
1t was submitted to a vote of the settlers wheth-
er the murderers should be tried and a trial was
voted for. 1T was held at Beaver before one
acquittal rendered. When the act of February
6, lsS3, was passed this Strip was believed to go
into the Northern district of Texas. Warrants

TExARKANA, TEX, Aug 13.-some time ago
Capt. Martin Glover OF this city made applics-
ton for a place in the Confederate Home At

place was vacant and he left on the train for
Austin this evening. Capt Glover is eighty
four yeas old and has been continuously in this
county for fifty-fve years. He was sheriff of
Bowie county in 1888 when his jurisdiction
tended over large portion of Northeast Texas.
One OF his returns on a capias now in the clerks

times. The capias issued March 1888 and
commanded the sheriff to take the body of
on the charge Of stealing ponies. The return
alluded to read as follows: Captured the
rascal and placed him under the wagon
bed.' Capt. Glover explained to the GAZETTE
man that at the period alluded to the county
had no Jail, but used wa gon bed that belonged
to recently arrived Tennessean in which to
conine malefactors. On such occasions when
offenders confined in this improvised jail

of charity and generosity. Bowed down with
age and disease he now avails himself of the
asylum prepared by his countryme and women.

II the country had no other standard by
which to estimate the valuable services of
Mr.. Reed it would correctly measure them
by the volume of Democratic abuse. When
he is roundly and persistently denounced as

shall go forward without the intervention of
purely obstructive tactics. When he is &C

the public, and that they are probably
aimed at the public treasury.
The people see him standing as stoutly be-
fore his party friends as before the Demo-
cratic side. They take this as sufficient evil
dence that he is holding the scales even, and
they applaud his persistence and his cour-
age.
The latest attack upon Speaker Reed be-
fore the abusive effort of Rogers, of Ar
kansas, yesterday, came from the Republi-
can side of the House Mr.. Struble, of Iowa,
an excellent member, has just failed of re-
fact that bill on the calendar providing for
a.public building in his district had not been
given the right of way by Speaker Reed.
Ihls gives opportunity to say, first, that Mr..
Struble's hold upon his district must have
been very feeble thing, If he was turned
down simply because this bill of his had not
been reached in its regular order. Next,
Mr.. Struble could not have expected the
Speaker to single his bill out, and let it 60
through, when Mr.. Reed was, at the same
time, holding back all bills of the same char
acter, aggregating $25,000,000. Mr.. Reed in
the chair, Mr.. Cannon at the head of appro-
priations, and Mr.. Mckinley as the leader of
the House in full accord with them, make up
what the Democrats are pleased to call tri-
umvirate. But just in proportion as they
make clear to the people their reasons for
this designation, the more honorable does
the title seem, and the better the tax payers
like triumvirates of this particular kind and
quality.
These gentlemen merit universal praise
They manifest courage which deserves and
demands respect. They have stood as firmly
in the way of their party friends in resisting
excessive appropriations as in the path Of
the opposition.
The action in blocking this twenty-five
million raid on the Treasury is only one illus
tration of the reasons, which prompt the
Democratic side to denounce the tyranny"
Of Speaker Reed and his "triumvirate."
This is the kind of despotism that the tax
payers like. And when it comes to choosing
q. committee to run the business of the
House, If the question could be thrown open
to settlement the popular verdict would be a
vote OF confidence In Reed, Mckinley and
