In d mUdltied form the same storm
chat swept Galveston Saturday night
crossed Oklahoma aud Kansas Nun
day aud Iowa yesterday. The govern
Inent has ordered signals along. the
great lakes warning steamships aud
lake craft generally that storm is
coming. Lake Superior and Lake
Michigan were expected TO see last
night storm somewhat similar t.
that which passed over Kansas Mon
day. West ladian hurricanes DO not
often get far inland, anu The recent
Storm was record breaker III THIS
respect as in nearly all Others. z.
Conner, the Kansas City weather OBJ
server, said 10 speaking Uf The STORM:
"a pecuilarity OF this storm Is that
it seems to carry the rain 90 the west
ern half OF the circle il is constantly
making There may be a scientific
reason for il. THIS storm will be
studied by scientific men for a long
time. 1t has covered a remarkable
eXpanSe Of territory and seems tc
ho :e more yet TO visit. Take a map
of The United States and set one end
OF a compass at Norfolk, Va, aud the
other lu southeast Cuba, make Nor.
folk The axis and turn the other punt
westward AID the line will come not
far from marking the path of the
storm. At Galveston the storm was
moving forward much slower than
here, but it was going reund ana
round with terrific furce. The regis
ter went up to eighty-fOur miles an
hour and then the machine went to
pieces. 1t must have blown 100 miles
an hour. The observer at Galveston
had plenty Of warning, but IL was
no use for him to flee. He got out 90
a raft finally, after losing part OF his
family. This storm has been blowing
since last Wednesday. / suppose IT
will end In Hudson's bay and in Can
ada east Of the bay. 1t might be
called hurricane on the water End
a cyclone on the land suppose. The
area grows wider as it WORKS north,
the wind always circling to the left
as the storm moves"

If these charges are true, no citizen who

attorney, to either defend him and his
actions or take his name down. Silence
is an admission of the truth of oul
charges. Should they be admitted, and
his name stand, it is an endorsement oi

The Sumner County Star, the Monitor

S. c. Burnette.

For county attorney the fusion forces
chose S. c. Burnette Of Caldwell. He
is nctive Of Iowa, having been born at
Hamburg, in that state March s, 1870.
Shortly after his parents moved to Atch-
ison county, Missouri, where they still
reside. Young Burnette was brought up
on farm, encountering all the priva-
tons incident to new country. He
attended the district schools when he
could be spared from the labor Of the
farm, and attended Southwestern Nor
NAL college, at Shenandoah, Iowa, for a
short time, paying his own way in school.
He taught school after leaving college,
reading law at intervals until IS9J, when
he entered the office Of his brother,
Judge J. A. Burnette, at Caldwell, Kan.
After his admission to the bar he To-
Gated at Scandia, Republic county, Kan,
where he built up a good business, but
on the election Of Judge Burnette to the
district bench of this county in 1896, S.
c., or Swan" as his friends ali know
him, returned to Caldwell and took
charge Of his brothers. business where
he has remained ever since. Mr., Bur-
nette has always taken an active inter
est in public affairs while not neglecting
the interests Of his clients.
He has all enviable standing among
his brethren Of the bar, and has the COLI
fdence and respect of all who know him.
He held the Office Of county attorney for
two terms, 1894 to 1898.
He is an active mason, having attained
all the degrees of the subordinate lodges,
and that of Knight Templar. He Is a
man Of temperate habits and exemplary
character. Mr.. Burnette has an easy
way of making friends and of holding
them. He is not a "mixer" in the
odious sense in which the term is used,
but is full of good feeling for every one.
He is strongest when best known, and
will be stronger on election day
than when he was nominated. But
while affable and courteous to all, il
must not be understood that lie has not
opinions, strong ones, on all questions
affecting the public welfare, with the
courage to maintain and defend them
He is a poor apologizer. Should he be
elected county attorney, which he un'
doubtedly will, the public will find in
him careful advisor, judicious counsel
lor and vigorous prosecutor. Mr.. Bur
nette is one person who believes the
Office means something. To him al
criminals will look alike, and all law.
will be enforced alike.

Republicans are making much Of the
fact that there are everywhere many out,
spoken socialists, drawing the inference
that they will vote for Debs and Clem.
ems rather than Bryan aud Briedenthal.
There could be no greater mistake,
There is no more earnest advocate Of s..
cialism than the editor of this paper.
All Populists and almost all Democrats
are outspoken socialists, and their can
didates and platforms call for as much
socialism as would be wise 20 adopt
during four years. By vote that was
almost unanimous, Wellington decided
to socialize her water and lighting plants.
Socialism is growing with wonderful
rapidity. Many Republicans are social.

platform stand for it. For every Popu.
list who votes for Debs and Clemens
there will be two Republicans.

The farmers OF this country are
fairly we'll up 10 the matter Of raising
corn, wheat and the regular staples,
but have hardly begun TO realize the
Irrft there is in raising trees. A
Vermont farmer some months ago
offered his farm OF 300 acres for sale
for $4,000. While be was looking
around FOR a customer, somebody
suggested to him that the standing
pine on the place be advertised for
sale. To the great astonishment Of
the owner it was sold for 1900. He
had neser before understood its real
value. The timber on many a New
England farm would sell for nearly as
much as is asked for the place, though
the owner often seems quite uncon-
scious of the fact. Forestry is the
science OF growing trees for profit. 1t
was started by Frederick the Great in
Prussia. Germany has now 10000, 900

Trusts Rule You When Alive, One Gets
You When You Die.


Washington, Aug. I6.-The Demo-
cratic congressional committee gives out
the following
Here are few of the reasons why the
"plain people" are not inclined to meek
ly accept the inspired statements of the
trust organs and speakers showing what
a natural, necessary and benefcent in
stitution the trust is:
1t requires fifty per cent, more wheat
to buy stove than it did in 1896.
1t requires twenty bushels more corn
to buy wagon than it did in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent. more corn or
wheat to buy copper kettle than in
1896.
1t requires twice as much corn to buy
a coil of rope as in 1896.
1t requires forty per cent. more grain
to buy plow than in 1896.
1t requires seventy-6ve per cent. more
grain to buy hoe, rake or a shove
than i'll 1896.
A set of common wheels that cos
seven dollars in 1896 now cost twelve.
The price of cultivators and other farm
implements has gone up propOrtionately
Galvanized barbed wire costs from fou
dollars to four-ffty more than in 1896.
1t requires forty per cent. more corr
or cotton TO buy pound of sugar thai
in 1896.
You have to pay forty per cent. NOR
fo. glass than in 1896.
Freight rates have climbed back t,
th> exorbitant prices which caused
popular revolt in legislation few year
ago.
The price OF oil, coal, lumber, tool
and hardware have gone up trom fort,
to 100 per cent.
And all these things have been don
by the trusts.
A trust robs you waking or sleeping
eating or drinking, working or playing
living or dying, and the coffin trust get
you in the end.

Long and Flynn, at South Haven and
Caldwell, on Thursday afternoon and
evening of last week, were grand fz-
zles in attendance and enthusiasm. By
actual count only IS5 men
heard Long at South Haven and many
of them were Populists. The meeting
was lacking in enthusiasm and interest
as all Republican meetings so far re-

On the second ballot Claude Duval re-
ceived over three-fourths of all the votes
of tie joint convention, and was declared
the unanimous choice. The perfect
unanimity, enthusiasm and good feeling
manifested throughout insures his cleo
ton this fall by good majority. As was
expected by everyone, the two conven-
tions united and with the above result.
Duval is a Populist in everything but

or will hear him during this campaign

Musicale from hearing the sparkling
program OF spring songs given Monday
afternoon. Miss Morley and Miss Ham,
mpnd opened the program with beau
tiful Mozart fantasia arranged for two
pianos by Grieg. Another duo was an

herd played the violin and Miss Mary
Smith he piano. The singers were
Mre. G. f. Sanderson ard Mrs. r. A.
Holyoke, soprano. and Miss Robinson
contralto. The latter is student mem
Der, a pupil OF Mrs. Sinderson. She
sang in smooth, sweet tones and with
the ease snd composure OF an old singer.
Mrs. Sanderson was accompanied in her
double number by the violin obligato OF
Mr.. Henry Sanderson. The program
closed with a group Of part songs by
Reinberger, called MAY Day. which
were given as a trio, but with absolute
nicely of effect, by Mrs. Ho'yoke, Miss

accompanies were Miss Coder and Miss

morning and arrived in time to take
part in the preliminaries. On Satur-

claimed by ringing the High school
bell. Then the boys went down town
and shouted until they were hoarse.
Then they made a great fire on the
campus. Not satisfied with this cele-
bration they dragged the cannon from
the State House and fired it several
times. On Monday morning the boys
made the final speeches.
On Friday evening the Browning
Phlogiston debate took place.
Athletics are a very marked feature
