Heligoland has for the nonce assumed an
importance quite out of proportion to its area,
which does not exceed three quarters of a mile.
For it is doubtful whether the British House of
Commons will consent TO ratify the agreement
of Lord Salisbury TO surrender the tiny iset
to Germany. and in any case the ccssion will
form the subject of stormy debate at West
minister. Commanding as it does the access
to Hamburg and Bremen, Emperor William
proposes 10 transform the rock into powerful
fortress at a cost of many million of dollars.
In letter dated from Heligoland and pub
lished to-day description is given of this
queer little storm-beaten island, where crime
is unknown, longevity the rule and where the
favortc amusement of the 2,001 inhabitants
consists in the propounding and solution of in
trcate problems of mental mathematics.

Captain Collins, the new postmaster Of Brook

"The tendency 10 centre on Cleveland In the

The West does not do things by halves. She
would seem To take for her motto the little
girl in the nursery rhyme, who, "when she was
good was very. very good, and when she was
bad she was hOrrid." When it is cold in the
West the mercury thinks nothing of descend
ing % the bottom of the tube; when it is hot
in the West, as it is just now. the mercury
ascends proportionatey high. Telegrams from
Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and
other points tell of weather so uncommonly hot
as to become a menace to human life. Even
to think of 104 in the shade-the thermometer
registered that figure at more Than one point
last week In Ilinois-is enough TO make one
pcrspire. no matter IL he is summering in an
ice-house. The Signal Office reports that the
present period of continued high temperature
in the middle Mississippi Valley is unprece-
dented for June, but adds the cheerful state

announce the crack. All right, but pray leave

Austria has just played her trump card in the
Balkan question by closing her frontiers 70 Ser
Wan swine Hogs constitute the principal, and,
in fact almost the ony article Of produce in the
Danuhinn States, and TO forbid their importation
into and through Austria is TO shut them off from

Scryian trade AUSTRIA has shown that she has
plenty OF resources for bringing the Belgrade

asking where the benefits Of Muscovte protection

Seryians are on Russia for their religious welfare,
they are equally dependent on Austria for their

sight since Milnn's abdication The close of the

SHOT BY A JUDGE.

While en- route from Sedalia to his
home near this city on the Le1ing-
ton branch of the Missouri Pacific
railroad this afternoon, Colonel
Thomas B. Price and Judge John P.
Higgins became engaged in a per-
sonal difficulty, when Higgins shot
Rrice, probably fatally, the ball en-
tering the lower part OF the sbdo-
men passing through the body and
lodging just under the small of the
back.
The shooting took place in the
smoking car just after the train had
passed Georgetown. The wounded
1uau sank rapidly and was uncon'
scious when the train reached Hous-
tonia. five miles west of this city.
There he was taken off the car and
