Philadelphia Times.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s.-Ex-U ntted
States Senator Watson c. Squires, Of the
state OF Washington, arrived here today.
Having recently travelled clear across the
continent, making Inquiries concerning po-
litical convictions OF the people on the rail-
road trains wherever he could meet with
well-infoTued people, he has formed an
opinion which he expresses by saying:
Il find that admiration for the president
surersedes al other sentiments. l have
found that wherever political speeches are
made the men who complain OF the conduct
OF the war are Kissed; while the orators
who mention Mckinley. Schley and Dewey
receive abundant applause. ! have noticed
in the theaters OF large cities several ef-
forts made to helittle the war department.
bu. Kisses have followed such efforts, In
the theaters have also noticed spontane-
GUS applause for every sentiment rejecting
credit upon our army and navy"

EDWARD BELLAMY,

The Nationalist. author Of "Looking
Backward" and Equality" lawyer, edi-
tor and humanitarian. died at his home in
Chicopee Falls at an early hour Sunday
morning of consumption after an illness
dating from the completion Of Equality"
last August.
Edward Bellamy wrote one book. 1t
was a notable literary success, and for 10
years he abstained from writing sequel to
it. The book he wrote, Looking Back
ward,n included his thought and feeling
upon the industrial conditions which he
saw around him. It was q protest from
cover TO cover. It became the BBiihie Of
Socialists. the constitution and the Bylaws
of strange colony and the platform Of q
new party.
: This man of one book was born In Chico
pee Falls, Mass, in 1885, He was the son
Of Baptist clergyman. He attended Union
College, but did not complete his course.
he spent year in European travel after
leaving college. While travelling abroad
he became imbued with Socialism. He
formulated his plans for changing the order
of human affairs and spent years in per-
fecting his theories. He was admitted to
the bar meanwhile. He did not practice,
but turned his attention to journalism.

Damage by Hail.

A gentleman who is in a position 10
know, said several days ago that he was
confident that the hailstorm of last week
resulted in loss of $4,000 bushels of wheat
in Kent, Queen Anne and Caroline coun-
ties. This, he added, does not include the
damage to the fruit crop. The total Loss
would probably foot up $100, 900.
The storms greatest severity in Queen
Anne was felt near Hayden's Station and
at Ingleside. Mr.. Chas. McCollister, neal
Hayden's, had a fair promise of 1905
quarts of fine strawberries but the hail
reduced it to less than 500 quarts. On the
farm of Mrs. D. G. Hopper. tenanted by
Mr.. Davis, two fields of wheat were totally
destroyed. One field has been put in corn
and the other is left simply because of the
fact that there is on it fine set Of grass.
On the adjoining farm the wheat crop is q
total loss.
At Ingleside Mr.. Henry Wilson, School
Examiner, L.. L. Beatty and others have
since plowed their wheat fields for corn.
Mr.. Roy Merrick, who had set out a straw
berry patch of 25.O0O plants suffered the
loss of every plant by having them broken
off and beaten into the ground.
Mr.. Ellsworth Porter, from the storm
swept district, stated that in the field of
Mr.. Davis, the wheat was beaten down so
fiat that a black bird could be seen on the
ground at distance Of a hundred yards,
and that the odor in passing along the road
near the field was that as of curing hay
He stated that in places the ground was
covered to depth of four inches with hail
stones varying in size from that of pea to
o hens egg. -Chestertown Transcript.

IT ASN'THAPPENED3T THAT WAY
During the Presidential campaign
the people, and farmers particularly,
were reminded in all seriousness that
unless William Jennings Bryan was
elected President of the United States
wheat, would never bring dollar a
bushel again; no, never. Well, Bryan
wasn't elected by quite good deal and
wheat is dancing to-day midway be-
tween one and two dollars. What be-
comes Of the weighty arguments ad-
vsnced to prove that an ounce of silver
and bushel of wheat would always
be near the same in value? The war
has not caused the rise in wheat, but
the scarity Of the commodity. This is

both during the campaign and since.
Values are regulated by supply and de-
mand, and the demand being greater
than the supply has caused the rise in
price. Friend.
