The friends and relatives of the Hon.
W. H. Clagett will be shocked to learn OF
his sudden death, which took place Sunday,
August 4th in Spokane, Washington, at
the residence of his married daughter,
Mrs. Fred. E. Lucas. For some months
his health had been far from good, but
not the slightest apprehension had been
felt as to his ultimate recovery, and the
unexpected end to what was not consd-
cred serious illness was a terrible blow to
his immediate family.
A man of great personal magnetism, he
numbered his friends by the legion in the
home of his adoption, the far West, and
his many acts of kindness, his generosity
and genial manner endeared him to all
who had the privilege of knowing him
intimately. He was a lawyer Of brilliant
attainments and graceful and forcible
speaker, and was for many years men,
Der of the Dakotas, Idaho and Montana
bar While living in the latter territory
he was sent as delegate to Congress,
where he so charmed his colleagues by
his eloquence that he was called "the
silver-tongued orator from the West
In Idaho he also took an active interest
in politics and twice ran for the United
States Senate. He was elected the first
time, but the seat was contested by tie
Hon. Fred. Dubois. Mr.. Clagett's sum-
ming of his case and subsequent argument
were said to be the finest ever made before
that body, but feeling was running high
and parties were divided against them
selves. and, though properly accredited
by his State, Mr. Dubois eventually won.
Upon the expiration of the latter's term
Mr. Clagett's name was again put forward.
For weeks there was a deadlock in the
Idaho legislature, which, at last, resulted
in the withdrawal of his name and the sub
stitution of Heitfeldt's, who was elected.
He was an ardent partisan of William
J. Bryan and the Silver Question, writing
book upon that subject, entitled, money,
Banks, Panics and Prosperity" which
was clear, forcible and concise exposi-
ton of the subject, at that time an alien
crossing one.
Aside from politics his life was varied
and stirring one, identified as it was with
the growth Of the country. While he
never lost his love for his native State.
Maryland, his interests were entirely with
the West, where he had resided since
crossing the plains, mere lad. in search
of fortune and adventure. He first settled
in Nevada, then successfully in Dakota,
Montana, Utah, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. He was essentially mining
lawyer, and at the time of his death was
practising before the Washington bar.
He leaves a large family, so bound to
him by the ties of closest affection that
his loss will be keenly felt. Being son
of the late Judge William Clagett, of the
Iowa bar, and former resident of Prince
Georges county, his death leaves but one
surviving member of the latter's family,
Mr.. Thomas Clagett of Iowa.

Hicks for August.

Threatening, stormy weather may be
looked for in many quarters as August
comes in. A season of menacing storm
conditions may hover over the gulf re-
gions until after the 9th. From the 9th
to the 9th look for warm wave to cul-
inmate in thunder storms with heavy hail
and high winds. Following these storms
no one need be surprised at sudden fall
of temperature. There should certainly
be an abatement of summer heat, for
few days, until the 18th or 14th. High
temperatures may be expected about the
time of the new moon or the 14th. Elec-
trical, clustering storms will break out
generally and continue until the 10Th.
We know of no reasons why there
should be decided change from dry
weather generally in August, but some
startling downpours and hail will occur
in narrow localities on the central storm
days until after the middle of August
They will be preceded by high tempera-
lures, thunder and lightning. Drops of
temperature will follow the storms in the
sections in which they occur. From the
18th to the Goth is the midsummer storm
period and there will be many severe
storms on the lakes and sea coasts and in
parts of the interior. There will lie
much cooler weather generally, with brief
changes to warmer, into September. The
9th and 25th are reactionary storm days.
About this time, West India equato-
rial storm and cyclones will form about
the equator The last four or five days
of August into September West India
storms high tides and cyclones will strike
the south side of our continent and along
the waters next thereto
1t is probable that generous rains will
visit many localities during the closing
storm period in August. A series of
counter storms, as rule, come from the
polar regions breaking d ,wn high temper
atures
No one knows how many more millions
of bushels of early wheat have been har-

visitation of drought has spread it's blight

About fifty prominent colored citizens
of Baltimore came here on Monday last to
inspect the Thomas D. Bond estate, which
was recently purchased by them for an

kind are being established all through the
South, with beneficial results. Otherwise
worthless boys and girls of the colored
race are placed in these schools, where
they are subjected to thorough discipline
and taught to form habits of cleanliness,
thrift and in dustry.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

offer one hundred dollars for any case it
