THE CASE OF MISS cIsNERos.

The magnificent fight being made by the
New York Journal for the beautiful young
Cuban Girl. Miss Cisneros. has attracted
the attention OF the civilized world to that
unhappy Island. and while many are
amazed at the revelations Of cruelty and In
human conduct that have marked the course

The Stars statement sounds very pausi-

every particular. II would be DIFFICULT to
name any article considered necessity on
tho farm that has not advanced In price
during the last six months. Flour costs
81 per barrel more. bacon is nearly cents

tertaliy, all canned fruits, veget-
ables and meats are worth from 10
to 30 per cent more. and nearly
everything else on the food list Is higher

to this. the farmers shoes and clothing
cost more. all dry goods are much higher,
paints and oils have advanced and wire.
pals, rope. drugs and chemicals. and many
lines Of hardware and woodenware show
a decided increase in price.
No one begrudges the 100000 wheat
farmers in this country the profit they are
now making. But there arc about 67,0oO.-
600 people In tho United States who do
not grow wheat, and they have received
nothing to make up to them for the in

ASTROLOGY FOR SEPTEMBER.

Zadkiel, the London astrologer. forecasts |
for September 1897, the following:
The third conjunction of those distant |
planets Saturn and Uranus takes place In |
Scorpio 253i:49 at 9:54 in the morning OF J
the 9th inst, and in quartile aspect with |
the moon. This phenomenon Is fraught |
with mischief for those countries and cities |
ruled by that martial sign. notably Mo-
rocco and Liverpool, and for the kaiser OF
Germany, who will soon find his plans and
projects going wrong, and his health fail
Ing for the time. Again will the state of
Turkey and the East attract the attention
of the great powers, for the conjoined
planets will be rising at Constantlnople
and eliminating over the eastern part of
Asia. We shall have to assert ourselves
to maintain our empire in the East and to
protect our trade. The passage OF Mars
through Libra disturbs China and Japan,
and probably Burmah also; violence and
bloodshed will prevail in the Flowery land.
aud murders OF Missionaries and Europeans
| are too probable.
The public revenue of Great Britain will
show an upward tendency, Notwithstanding
| the troubled outlook abroad. There will be
manifest an unquiet feeling among rail-
way and postoffce employees, and fraud
| or robbery in The postoffice will cause sur
| prise. Toward tho end of the smonth there
will be some discomfort in military circles,
and much sickness among members of the
| legislature. The 9TH is troublesome
birthday anniversary. bringing quarrels
| and losses. The 18th Is good birthday.
| especially for clothlers. merchants, bank
ers. clergymen and lawyers, The 18th is
| pOnd rniuars cnpinprrs and Scipntjfic
| men. The 23d brings disappointment in
| love or domestic grief. The Goth Is a fav-
orable birthday, especially for literary peo-
| pie and secretaries.
The entrance of the sun into the sign
Libra takes place at Washington. Septem-
Der %. at 40 O'Clock In the afternoon. Its
indications are as follows:
Congress will have some sharp disputes
! and knotty questions to settle. for the
presence OF Saturn and Uranus in the
eleventh house in quartile with Venus in
the eighth Is indicative OF dissension, and,
in addition, trouble with the fair sex over
'womens rights" The army will occupy
public attention greatly, and there Will be
| much discomfort among the troops, II not
some instances of mutinous conduct A
rainy and cold season will soon set In. Nor
tality among womJn and girl-children will
rule high. In the money market, rapid
rise will be followed by a sharp fall, but.
on the whole, the tendency will be upward.
Rheumatic fever. eruptions and cases of
poisoning Will be unusually prevalent,
great invention will mark the presence OF
Mercury in the ninth house retrograding TO

1t may be that baliooning will be greatly
improved.

These good citizens OF Temple who were
"Hosg and commission" wild here few
years ago will have the first real good
taste Of the effects OF the commissions
rulings this year. For the hrst time since
the commission has been organized the
ruling of pressing cotton at the nearest
point 10 which 1t was purchased. Hereto
fcrc the railroads have succeeded In ep-
Joining the commission from enforcingi
the rule, but this year they have failed
and every bale OF cotton bought on the
western ranch Of the Santa Fe west o.
Bolton must be pressed at Bolton. Like
wise north OF Mctiregor, south of Taylor,
| north OF Waco and south Of Cameron Last
season our buyers shipped cotton TO Tenn
pie for pressing from near Dallas, This
year they will not have a territory large
enough to pay the operation OF more than

manner. II u fact to which Is due the
