THE HOT WEATHER.
MT. Jinks Writes Some Interesting
Predictions.

"Mr. Jinks," said the city editor, severe
", as the weather reporter stood blandly
before him, Mr.. links. I'd like to know
what you mean by this?"?
Mr. links extended his hand and took
some familiar copy He read as follows:
ct is announced at the weather bureau
that the weather indications are numcr-
Gus and promise to become more so. 1t
will propably be cooler tomorrow II IT
does not grow hotter meantime, and con-
tinue in this condition There may be
showers near Alexandria and thunder

be improbable to experience similar phe-
nomena here. The isotherms appear to
be mixed up with the dithyrambics in
such a complicated manner that the highs

suavely. "In fact, 1 wrote it myself"

editor, but what did you do it for?'
Mr.. links smiled YEARLY.

perceive that my contribution is just

but you might have put in something
about a probable shower on Analostan Is

they have to say"
Later on Mr. links handed in the fol-
lowing:

THE OLD SWEET.
Prospects for Fine season-some or
the Guests.

OLD SWEET SPRINGS, w. VA. July
9.-(speciaL)-The present season at the
historic Old Sweet bids fair TO be one
OF the most successful enjoyed by this
resort for a number OF years, and the
general feeling of uneasiness as TO the
effect of the war upon the patronage ac-
corded the summer resort is not in the
least disturbing Mir. White. the genial
manager OF this famous watering-p!ace.
Letters have been coming in every day
for the past six weeks from those who
annually assemble here, engaging rooms
and cottages and the indications thus far
point to an Increase in the number Of
guests, rather than falling off. In fact
the prophet who predicted a disastrous
season for the summer resorts seems
TO have made a little mistake in arriving
at such a conclusion, as almost any
hotel-register in the mountain resorts OF
this section will prove. and certainly that
OF the Old Sweet will convince any one
that such Is the case.
The writer of this has visited nearly
every resort Of any prominence in either
OF the Virginias. and upon first arriving
at the Old Sweet was impressed with two
facts-frst, that he had never seen at
any OF them a larger or finer ballroom.
and. second. that the lawn is unsurpassed
by any that had come under his obser-
walton before. AS a rule. ones imagi-
nation Is so vivid that when the objective
point CT a summers outing is reached.
he Is little disappointed TO find that his
fancy has led him astray. and that the
picture made mentally has TO be toned
down considerably in order 10 conform
10 that presented 10 his view. When.
however, the reality far surpasses the
scene which the mind has conjured up.
Il Is quite pleasant surprise. The
writer was treated to lust such q sur

Drowned in Rapid Creek.

Tuesday afternoon Harry Swander
and Carl label went down to the
Brennan ranch where Harry's grand
parents live, and soon after turning
their ponies out they went to the
river, where they took off their
clothes and went in bathing. Moth
ing further is known except as Carl
tells it, and he was SO shaken by the
awful tragedy that he scarcely knew
what he did. They were in a deeper
place than they knew and Harry,
who was but seven years old, got
beyond his depth. His comrade
could not help him but when he re-
allied that his playmate was drown
ing or drowned, he hurriedly put on
his clothing and a to the
house about a mile away, where he
told his grandmother, Mrs. Eggle-
ston, and Paul Brennan. Mr..
Eggleston was also summoned and
they hurried to the spot to find
that the report was only too true,
Mr.. Eggleston and Paul then came
to town to break the awful news to
his daughter. H. b. Swander and
elder son Eddie, were on the ranch
thirty five miles away, but even be-
fore Mrs. Swander was told a mes
senger was started for them. H. w.
Jones, of the firm Of Swander &
Jones, and Mr.. E%ggleston left i'm
mediately to bring the body home
and returned at six o'clock. Mr..
Swander was expected to arrive
sometime in the night.

Shortage Of Beeves in Texas.

Shippers Of beef stock state that
there + now very few cattle on the
ranges in Texas fit for the market
says Brooks, Griffith's Report.
Feeding pens in Texas, as well as
the Indian Territory have been
about cleureo of their feeders. The
feed lots are likely to remain empty,
as there does not appear to be any
source in sight from which to re-
plenish them. 1t is said it will be
al least three months before any
thing in the shape of CRASHED
beeves will be OF any Of the big
markets. Even when they do,
owing to the impoverished condition
of the ranges the number will be
small-far below the shipment of
last year. The large number Of cat
tie now feeding on the Indian Terri
tory may help the situation a little
for a time SO far as the supply of
beeves goes in the northern market,
but that there is now any great
number of beef cattle in Texas, as
compared with other years, no well
informed cattle raiser believes.
Many think that the shortage in
Texas only exists in the agricultural
counties, at least many Of those who
r willing to admit that there is
any shortage at all in Texas, and
they state that the southern part of
the state is the most seriously effect
ed, utterly overlooking the fact that
neither Panhandle NORM West Texas
could anyone today buy 10000 head
of aged steers in the two districts.
The young stock now growing up,
and many yet unborn, have been
contracted for, too, and they will
leave the country this coming fall.

Emrick's Opera Band.

The first open air concert by
Emrick's Opera Band was given
last Tuesday evening in Sweeney's
band stand on Seventh street. The
band stand has just been built by
Mr.. Sweeney and is quite an orna-
ment to the town. The stand is
painted red, white and blue and is
surrounded by pine trees and is
lighted in the evening by a cluster
OF incandescents. When the boys
took their places with their new
uniforms on they were greeted with
rounds of applause by the audience.
Their mus, c is the very latest and

At the conclusion Of the entertain
ment the Professor announced that
these concerts would be continued
through the summer.

tatlon, that. Utah, Western Colorado.
Idaho and the entire inter-mountain
country will have cattle fat enough
to 90 direct from the ranges to the
market at an early date. 1t is esti-
mated that the number of t%hisOclass
that will be sent from Utah and
Colorado will reach $1,000 head
more than in former years.
The = excellent condition Of the
ranges in the South, with the ex-
ception of a small district in the
Panhandle, have not made the move
ment of cattle a necessity, and con-
sequently the shipments from the
South up to this time have been
about one-third less than they were
a year ago. AS there is without
doubt a scarcity of cattle in many
districts, particularly Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, and
what cattle there are being scattered
over a wide territory, the condition
of the ranges will continue to i'm
prove, making the prospects for
abundance OF feed during the com
ing winter most excellent.
Information received at head
quarters from Kansas is to The effect
that the importation of stock cattle
from the South has fallen off two
thirds during the past 45 days, but
the shipment Of mature animals to
the river markets continue up tC
the standard. The conditions exist
ing in the former branch Of the
lndustry.seems to have been brought
about by the advance in the priceoot
corn, which makes it's feeding tc
stock st the present prices of fat
animals almost prohibitory. An.
other factor in stopping these ship
ments is the excellent and abundant
crop of grass in the Indian Territory
and Tex as. Cattle contracted for
for Kansas and Nebraska delivery
are now being held on these ranges
in la1 &c numbers, to be driven tc
the feeding pens this fall. 1t is
estimated that the number now in
the Indian nations is 100, 600 greater
than last year.
In this connection, it may be
said that if the price of corn con-
tinues to advance or ever remains
where it is now, that feeders, who
purchase stock cattle at the prices
ruling this spring, have excellent
reasons to anticipate a substantial
advance in the price Of their fatten
ed animals this fall and winter.
There is a material shortage already
in this class of stock, which will be
another factor in bringing about
this result.
