Nervousness. and 1ntemperenoe.

Delirium tremens is fair index of the
deleterious effects of drunkenness In q
nation. Deaths from delirlum tremens
and from nervousness seem to be most
numerous where mountains and oceans
are scarce. II this Is true it follows that
alcoholic drinks and nervousness are
more fatal in America than anywere
else. Forests are reser-
voirs of humidity, which check electric
currents. America, since the destruc-
ton of its forests, Is more exposed to
electric currents than any other country
In the world. 1t is, therefore, the most
favorable field for nervousness, and for
those disorders which may arise from the
habitual use of alcoholic beverages. 1t
is curious fact that our dwelling apart
ments must be warmer here than in
Europe, in order to procure the same
amount of comfort. It is hard TO ex-
plain this difference, unless we suppose
that the nervous system in America is
more actIFe-even while apparently at
rest than in Europe, and that sharper
currents continually tend to draw heat
from our bodies. We need more cloth
ing, more heat, and about 80 per cent.
more solid food than Europeans. Our
active nervous system, which spurs us
on to work, produces much waste, and
requires much food. Alcohol, which IN
terferes with digestion and with the
nutritive process of the blood, must,
therefore, be more injurious in America
than elsewhere. Our climate Is radically
different from any other. In many
things we are o singular and lonely peo-
pie; and for this reason we are often
thrown upon our own sagacity and re-
sources. AS Washington and his con-
remporaries founded government with
out precedent, so are we compelled TO
solve the liquor question, without finding
in the history of mankind of single pre-
cedent to decide for US as to what extent
alcohol Is deleterious or beneficial to
health. - Handouts for Alcoholism.

Killinr AT Greenwood, Miss.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 3l.-A
Greenwood, Miss, special says: Our
CITY was thrown into excitement to-day
by the firing OF fifteen or twenty shots
near the Delta bank. On reaching the
spot Walker Stoddard was found lying on
the sidewalk dead and John ID. Money +,
a prominent planter and brother of ex-
Congressman Money, was sitting on the
curb badly shot IN one leg and flesh
wound in the other, both shots below the
knee. The trouble grew out OF charges of
corruption made against the city govern
meut and illustrated by local artists.

BANKS GAZING In.
Great Danger Imminent at New Orleans and
Other Points on the Mississippi-Al
Efforts to Stop 1t Fails.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July S0.-The
cavIng In of the river banks in conse-
quence of the fall of the Mississippi river
after reaching the highest point
ever known, continues and
is becoming threatening at New
Orleans and other points. The cavIng is
caused by the river during high water
washing out under the banks, which does
not manifest itself, however, until the
water falls. Ugly cavings have occur
red at the foot of Second street in this
city, and eudangering the Illinois Gen.
trail tracks at the foot of Barracks and
Hospita, Il threatening the garbage wharf
at the Second district levee on the west
bank of the river, carrying away the
pavement on Front street on il and
nearly reaching the dwellings ut the foot
of Saraparie, Engper, Seventh. Eighth
and other streets. Should 1t
continue the damage will be
very great. So far 1t
seems impossible to stop it. Piles have
been driven in on the banks of the river
but have had no effect. The bank
cracks in sections of about ten by fifty
feet, falls into the river aud is carried
away. Serious caving Is reported at
several other points on the Mississippi,
notably at Point Coupee, where it will
require the removal of the church of
St. Francis and q number Of houses on
the new road which are threatened with
being swallowed up bv the river, and on
the Atchafalaya, where the caving
threatens to destroy important levees.

Dakota and Minne.o.a ybea. crop.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, July 3l.-The
best authorities estimate the wheat crop
of the present season in Dakota and
Minnesota at 100, oOO, 900 bushels. All
prophets agree that the wheat crop will
be the largest ever harvested, and there
Is nothing in the weather condition
that should give cause for alarm, or give
rise to the pessimistie report that the
weather has done serious damage, tax
ing the country as whole, aud harvest
is now in progress. Reports from all
over the state agree with this general
prophecy rs to the results.

PROPOSED Change of Senate Rules.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 1.-Senator Blair
In speaking of his resolution, introduced
this morning instructing the committee
on rules to report rule to limit debate
by operation OF the previous question or
some other method, said he believed IL TO
be the opinion of the majority of the Re-
publican senators that the time had ar
rived for the adoption of a rule by which
debate might be controlled. He would
not admit, however, that he was acting
By direction of the caucus. He said 1t
was apparent that not one of the twenty
five important measures on the calendar
could be passed without the change of
rules proposed In his resolution.

OFFICIALLY CROOKED.
An Illinois City Clerk Short In His Accounts
Between s5OUO and $4,000.

Between S5O00 and S1O,0O0.
PARIS, ILL.,, July 29.-Albert Geag
hen, the city clerk OF Paris, ILL.,. is
missing. He is short officially and by
his connection with bank until year
ago, between $4,000 and $40 900. His
stealings while in the employ of the bank
was accomplished by falling to turn over
to that institution the amount of small
notes when they were paid off, and as
the amount of such notes did
not appear in the cash receipts
of the day the books would balance
at night, but when the stubs of the
tickets, which it is a custom of the insti-
tuition to place with the amount of each
note paid, were checked up, the short
age would show up, but who got it was
the pro blem with the officials. His rob-
berry of the city treasury was done by
duplicating and raising city orders. 1t
is understood an effort will be made to
bring him to justice. Two years ago
George Geaghen was elected city clerk
and last spring was reelected to the
same office.

Finding of the Majority.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Demo-
Gratis to-day again blocked the Breoken-
ridge case in the election committee by
breaking quorum. The committee
have actually decided the case, but have
not formally agreed upon report, and
for two weeks they have been proven ted
from doing SO by the absence OF quo
rum. The majority report is drawn up
ready to be made. 1t declares Brecken-
ridge was not elected in the second Ar
kansas district. 1t deals at length with
the murder of Powell Clayton, the con-
testant in the case, taking the ground
that 1t was political murder,
and it speaks of the Democracy of
that district with much bitterness.
There are not enough Republican MEM
bers of the committee in the city to make
a quorum and the Democrats are deter
mined they will not help make one.
Three Republicans were present. One
Democrat was there for the purpose of
making the point of no quorum. An
effort to bring in Crisp and O'Ferral.
who were in town, failed, and finally an
adjournment had to be taken without ao-
ton on the report. Chairman Rowell
telegraphsd for the members of the COM
mittee to return to the city, but these
dispatches are usually "Eot delivered'
this hot weather.
WANTS TO EARN MORE MONEY.
1t is not at all improbable that Repre-
sentative Wilson of West Virginia. one
of the strongest ana best informed men
on the Democratic side, will not again be
a candidate for congress. Wilson can
have q denomination If he desires it. In
fact, his constituents will be very re-
luctant TO allow him to withdraw. He
says he has no fear of defeat, bur he is q
poor man and has a family TO educate,
and is inclined TO give up public life in
order to devote himself more closely to
private affairs. Wilson Is retirement will
be a great loss to the Democratic side of
the house, and will cause regret am ong
the Republicans as well, for he Is per-
sonally very popular with every one.
Wilson is in great demand as a speaker
on tariff. and has already made O great
number of engagements TO deliver
speeches, both East and West.

KANSAS CORN CROP.
Many Fields VIII Not Yield Single Ear-The
Drought In Spots.


Drought In spots.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 3l.-Special
dispatches from vnrious points in West
ern Kansas state that hot winds the pas
hree days have literally ruined and re-
duced the already low condition Of the
crop in that part of the state. The winds
have literally cooked the crops until many
fields will not yield single ear. This
condition prevails along the Missouri
Pacific from Concordia to the western
boundary. East of Concordla for 100
miles the yield of corn may, under
favorable conditions, amount to 5 or 10
per cent. of last years crop. From this
point east to Atchison the crop will be 40
to so per cent. of last years yield II the
rainfall continues moderate. In the
dry spots of the state the hot winds have
also burned up the grass so that the yield
of hay will be very low.

There will be eat many days dur
ing the winter wher farmers can accom-.
plish but little worl out of doors. Much
can be done at such times in little jobs
with tools, of which every farmer should
have o set comple te enough to enable
him to repair many Of his implements
and save running II a carpenters shop
with them. In scarcely any way can
more be saved than in keeping the farm
implements well ole or painted. Ex-
posure to the dryin effects Of the atmos-
phere often does more harm to wood
work than actual use when employed IN
the field. Nothing is better prevent
i've against shrink lge and the loosening
and creaking of oints in wood than q
free use of paint. The cost is trifding
and farmer can put it on himself. and
il occasions loss not to use it whenever
it is needed.

SCHEME OF FEDERATION
BETWEEN ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS
CFTRAlNMEN IN THE U.S..

Delegates Present frcm All Over the
urtry-Two Secret Meetings During
the Day and a Public Meeting Last
Nisht-Ihe Death Note of Strikes on
Railroads Has Reen sounded-The
Meetings Considered to Have Been Of
Great Importance.
ELNuRA, n. Y, April 7.-Three hun
dred delegates, representing the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen,
Brakemen and Switchmen, gathered
here yesterday and, with a few men,
bers of the new order of railway
conductors, discussed and adopted a
scheme of federation between ali the
organizations of trainmen in the United
States. Delegates were present from
Buffalo, Jersey City, New York,
Hoboken and many places in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. There were two secret
meetings during the day and public
meeting was held in the opera house last
night. a number of
Prominent Citizens Delivered Addresses.
Grand Master Sargent, of the Fire
mems brotherhood; Grand Conductor
Howard. of the conductors; Grand
Master Wilkinson. of the Brakemen's
brotherhood, the well known "Shindy"
Mcclure and other prominent railroad
men, spoke. They all declared that the
federation would be in the interest of
harmony and that the death note of
strikes on railroads had been sounded.
The object in short is the federation I'M
der one head of all the different bodies,
but each to retain its own organization.
The meetings are considered to have
been of great importance. Special trains
were run from New York, Buffalo and
other nlaceS
