WEATHER FOR AUGUST.
Forecast OF Rev. Earl II. Hicks, Who
Guesses Correctly Sometimes.

Forecast OF Rev. Earl IL. Hicks, Who
Guesscs Correctly Sometimes.
Rev. Earl r. Hicks, the noted weather
prophet, makes the noted predictions
for August, which are quite sure to be
the conditions in some localities:
The storm diagram shows that Vul-
can storm period Is central on Aug. i.
indicating rising temperature, falling
barometer and more or less storminess
from LIST TO 3D. Cooler. clearing wealth
er, with rising barometer and westerly
winds, will follow these disturbances
from the west, reaching eastern ex-
tremes about the 4th.
There will be rapid reaction to
storm conditions about the 9Th and It'll,
and these conditions will eliminate in
electrical storms. with great buster
and some rain in numerous localities
on and touching the Sth, the date when
the moon passes the celestial equator.
Very warm weather may be expected
from the date of new moon and apogee,
the 9Th, until after low barometer and
storms eliminate about the 9Th. Pro-
gressive change to cooler, travelling
from west to east behind the storm con-
ditions, will form the natural and or
binary sequel to the period, spreading
to the Atlantic by about the 9th.
The next regular storm period falls
from the 18th to the 18th. This will
bring return of falling barometer, east
erly and southerly winds, and very
warm days. About the 18th to 14th a
hot wave will eliminate over the cen
trail states. ending in thunder storms
general buster and local rains. The
moon being at extreme south declina-
ton on the 10th, wind currents should
naturally flow from north to south from
about the 14th to 18th. bringing marked
change to cooler over most parts Of the
northern hemisphere.
From the 18th to Goth warm wave
low barometer and general storm ten
denotes will appear. On the Goth the

that storm conditions may reach q

Is OPPORTUNITY LOST!
Possible That the Golden Egg is Lost
to the City by the Pressing
Of Suit.
Possibility Of Mrs. G. H. Conovsr
Making the City 9 Handsome
Present.
Had Determined To Do So Before
Commencement Of Tax Suit, But
May Not Now.

1t is still necessary to go away from
from home to hear news that isn't
news. Some time ago semi-authorl-
tative statement was made that Mrs.
C. H. Conover, daughter Of the late H.
q. J. Boardman, was DESTROYS of doing
something for the city Of Marshalltown,
in memory OF her father. Whether she
would present the city with land for a
public park, or build library build
ing had not fully been determined.
Tuesday evenings issue Of the Des
Moines Capital contained the following
item:
1T has been mentioned quietly in
Marshalltown for some little time past
that Mrs. G.. H. Conover. the daughter
| of Hon. H. E. j. Boardman, the recent
| ly deceased millionaire attorney, was
going to do something for the city in
Imemory of her father. 1t was a matter
of severe criticism that Mr. Boardman
had never done anything for the town
in which he had lived for so many
years, and when he died there was some
expectancy that he might commemor-
ate his memory by gift of some sort
to the city. However, he did nothing
for the city which might have tended to
preserye his name in the kindly recol-
lection of those who had known him.
Now his daughter Is planning what it
would be best to do and it has been
stated that she Is prepared to benefit
1.-THE town to the extent of $4,000 from the
ESTATE of her father. 1t is probable that
the principal gift to the city Will be of
i the old residence property as library.
The widow has the use of the property
during this year, but when she leaves,
/ it will probably be fitted over to make
lit more suitable for the purpose and
turned over to the city.
Not knowing whether the Capital was
simply reiteratlng an old piece of news
Tor had stumbled on something new, a
lreporter for the T.-R. called on rela-
tive of Mrs. Conover In this city ane
showed him the Dies Moines report. The
gentleman said that so far as he knew
land he considers himself in position II
know-no steps had been taken in this
direction and the question was not now
being considered Prior to the com
Imencement OF the tax suits against thu
estate and to the refusal of the count,
TO accept the tender of the amount Of
the taxes for the year 1898, the relatlv.
said that Mrs. Conover had fully de
Itermined to do something for the city
that it had been source of regret OF
the part of Mrs. Conover that her faith
er had not, in his lifetime, done some
thing of the kind. and that the onl.
. question to be determined was the ma
ture Of the memorial she would give
But since the prospect of long litigation
over the question of taxes alleged to b,
due the relative has reason to believ,
!, that the plan has been abandoned b.
Mr. and Mrs. Conover, because the,
feel that in rendering the taxes for las
year they had dismissed all legal OBJ
legation to the county.

Congressman Hull Says to Give In to
Britain Would BE a Crime.
Des Moines, Aug. 2.-Congressman j.
A. 7. Hull reached Des Moines yester-
day, having returned from a trip to
Alaska to investigate the boundary
question.
To yield to the demands of Great
Britain in the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton would be nothing short of a crime, .
he said. The boundary is all one hears
in Alaska. 1t is the topic of the hour,
and the excitement is at high pitch in
the matter. 1t would be disgraceful for
the United States to back down In the
matter and allow Great Britain to have
skaguay. Skaguay is the key to all the
trade in the gold regions. 1t is impos-
sible for any other city to control the
mining trade. If we allow England to
have her way in this boundary mat
ter. we virtually turn over Alaskan
trade to England. If we assert our
rights in the matter and retain Ska
quay, we are assured of perpetual con
troll of the Alaskan trade. The trade
belongs to the United States. Most of
the miners III that country are Amer
leans, and desire to buy American prod
ucts"

Economy in New York

New York, Aug. Bird S. Coler,
comptroller of Greater New York, is
preparing recommendations for radi-
cal reduction in the city's budget for
1900. Mr.. Coler hopes TO save the city
$4,000, 600 by the carrying out of his
plans.
The main features of the plan are the
vesting of all control of the city's
finances, including municipal salaries,
In the city board of estimate, the aboli-
ton of the offices of borough presidents
and other places which he believes to
be sinecures. and large reduction in
the amount of money appropriated to
charitable institutions and societies.
The comptroller says that he is con-
WINGED there are too many officeholders
and that by requiring strict attention to
duty from every employee retained many
could be dismissed without detriment
to the city's affairs.
MIR. Coler holds that the city pays too
much for certain kinds OF work, and as
an instance he says 1t is unjust to pay a
laborer who sweeps the streets as much
/ as school teacher who must study
| eight or ten years to obtain place.
