THE LEDGER,
THURSDAY, JULY Is, 1928.


Hicks, the weather prophet, says
the 10th and 18th are reactionary
days-very warm-and, unless ae-
tive storms appear, the warmth will
continue to increase past the new
moon on the 18th and eliminate in
heavy storms on and about the 10th,
the central day of the next storm
period. 1t depends on the point
whether the new moon on the 18th
leans toward the storm period, OF
which the 10th and 18th are central
days, or toward the period from the
18th to 18th, whether the heat and
storms will eliminate in the former
or latter period. We expect the lat
ter. Let us watch and see. Thus
we learn"
"About the %, 23," continued
the doctor, growing warmth, with
all the changes that precede and at
tend a return to storminess, will ap-
pear. These will probably culmi-
nate under the electric pressure of
the moons first quarter on the Goth.
There may be much buster expect
ed at all July periods, but a general
lack of rain is predicted. The last
period runs from 26 to 80 seconds
the crisis concident with the full
noon on the 2Sth. We enter the
Venus period which is central Aug.
8, and if we are to have disturbances
of Venus origin they will begin at
the last of the July period. Wemay
look for much violent disturbance
at this time, and may have season.
able rain, but instead, we may have
busters, electrical storms and rapid
transitions from heat to cold. A res
pite from summer heat may be
reasonably expected at the close of

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY.
A%dherents of Henry Starr Fooled by
the Engineers Caution.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July An
attempt was made to rob the Little
Rock express at Hansen, on the
Kansas and Arkansas Valley Rail-
road, last night. The engineer had
been warned to look out for trouble
at this flag station, and when he
was signaled and he began to slow
up he saw eight or nine masked
men armed with Winchesters. So
he pulled the throttle wide open
and laid down by his engine and
pulled out at a rate of fifty miles
per hour. 1t was the Starr gang,
and they expected to release Henry
Starr, who, it is thought, was be-
ing brought through to Fort Smith.

Miss0uri's New Member.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Champ Clark will not begin his
Congressional career an ungarianded
ohscuriiy. He spekeno seetionalism
in Tammany's Wigwam, but to the
Democracy Of the East he teok in all
composure and benignity a Western
wish that is fast growing into a de-
sign, New York Democrats did not
receive the message with dlsfavor.
Why should they? 1t is understood
that New York will not have can
didate before the National Conven-
ton of 1896, A Western man would
suit its views and would fit into its
politics, for ats only chance of nom
mating one of its sons in the Jeffer-
sonian Centennial year of 1900 will
lie in the ch.ice of Il Westerner by
the intervening National Conven-
ton. The Empire State, moreover,
needs a Western President to har-
monte its factions and elevate its
party attachments.
Congressman Clark has read his
Republic to good purpose. In the
"Western man or bust" that has
been repeated through the Valley
States until it is a chorus of mil
lions, he has perceived a cry Of fate.
His ear has been trained by the
Democracy of Missouri and he knows
one of these litanies of nations when
he hears it. He changed the phrase
ology a little but preserved the glor-
ious intent. ga transmississippi
man on a Missouri platform will do
excellently well as a free translation
and a varied lo%calization. Missouri
Democracy is typical. In the annals
of elections and of ideas Missouri
has had Democratic health which
has never been enervated by the
crank's collie or the mugwump's tired
feeling. The Missouri platform evel
has been a tariff for revenue, honest
gold and silver money, no force bill.
a pension roll of honor, expenditures
limited to Government necessities
and a civil service directed by the
votes of the people.
A Missouri platform is the plat
form of every robust Democrat
whether he looks over to Canad;
from the Maine border or Watche
Mexicans along the Rio Grande. I
Western man on a Missouri plat
form would be Democracy from ent
to end. 1t Is the winner for 1896

Judge George L. Towner, the ex-
tobacco king of North Missouri, died
in Macon City this week. He was
a CAPTAIN in Prices army and dis
tinguished himself at the battles Of
Carthage, Lexington and Wilson's
Creek. Some years ago it would
have been difficult to estimate his
wealth. A few years before death
ended his eventful career be was
forced to sleep in stable-lofts and
like places in and around Macon.
While rich he was always liberal
and willing to relieve the oppressed.
Liquor refrigerated this man until
his former friends refused to recog.
nize him and many times he was
hungry, ragged and sick. He was
even prosecuted and if any man in
the State ever appreciated Saul Of
Tarsus' career it must have been
George l.. Towner. Finally he was
so conspicuous on Macon's char.
Ity that he was invited to the poo,
house, which invitation he gladly ac'
cepted. A year or so ago he was ele'
waited through the assistance of ole
friends who aWoke to his condition
and was elected to the position Of
