Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, 1t is
more often directly traceable to consti-
patton. Appendicitis Is caused by ex-
traneous matter entering the vermi-
form appendix and not by swallowing
of seeds. If the digestive organs are
kept In perfect condition so the food

move gently, at least once day. ap-

cultural country back of it, seems to
have gone "daffy" on the question of
markets. There was probably never a
time in the history of the west when the
discussion of the ordinarily dry question
OF prices was SO universal. The whole
west has gone to specializing in corn,
and there is a volume of business in this
cereal on the board of trade such as the
commission men have not seen before in
q number of years. The general demand
for corn OH the part of specializing
farmers, lawyers, bankers, business
men, bell boys and chambermaids, as
we'll as representatives of every other
known calling in this latitude, has
landed the price safely in the fifties in
Chicago, and just now there are indica-
tons that the big demand will land it
soon in the sixties. There is scarcely a
man, woman or child in the city who
has not heard from some relative or
some friends relative in the country
who relates narrowing tale of the inn
mense damage that has been inflicted on
the corn crop in some particular locali-
ty. BY the time all of these stories get
safely launched on their never-ending
travels among all of the people who will
listen to them-and everybody just now
is eager to listen--it is no wonder that
anybody who has the price grabs it and
starts for the board of trade. The inter-
est that has centered in corn is so large
it has entirely dwarfed the small specu
Iative interest in wheat. The latter crop
is conceded to have been harvested un-
Ger the best of circumstances and to be
the largest in the history of the country.
This is not the kind of news, however,
that the public wants to hear. Just now
The call is for calamity, and how the lat
ter can best be turned to practical ac-
count.
The smallest boy in Chicago seems to
Rave better understanding of the real
Importance of the corn crop than does
the eastern president of any of the great
railroads. He seems to know intuitive-
ly that a good or bad corn crop means
respectively prosperity or adversely to
the west, and he has been in possession
OF this information ever since he was old
enough to know anything. He is keep
ing track of the weather map and the

Gus states with vigilance that would
be worthy of a veteran SPECTATOR. Ous
d
deal of discussion over other food prod
tets. The same weather that has
caused such Widespread damage to the
corn. meadows and pasturage has also
brought about semi famine conditions OF
tie vegetables that are ordinarily used
for canning. The country west of the
Mississippi river Will produce no supply
o. fresh fruits and vegetables beyond
that needed for immediate use. and
there is veritable boom in canned
goods in consequence. String beans,
green peas, tomatoes, green corn and
other items of the same sort have scored
gains of fully 40 per cent over the fig
ures of fortnight ago. Every house
wife is discussing the new scale of prices
with the family grocer, and the usual
outcome is a fresh addition of business
from both of them for the board of trade
commission man.

The extending of the right of suffrage

mass of color and tongue which has
never learned to think of any govern
ment only as a means to rule and OPP
press the people.
Yet. strange as it may seem, in our
reckless haste to bestow this great priv
ilege and responsibility on all kinds and
conditions of men. we have entirely
overlooked the better half of our own
people. Our statesmen dwell long and
e1oquently on the fact that the chief
cornerstone, and the only hope of the
rerpetuity of our institutions. rests
upon the individual ownership, the at
fractions. the purity and love of home
and home associations.
And yet she whose whole life is de-
voted to the upbuilding and mainte-
rance of these important factors has no
voice in shaping our political destinies.

TRAIN lis HELD UP.
BOLD ROBBERY ON COTTON BELT
ROAD IN ARKANSAS.
After Blowing Open Safe With Dyna.
mite and Taking Huge Shipment of
Money They Run Off on Engine.
Passengers Are Not Molested.

TeXarkana, Ark, Sept. 4.-No. Cot.
ton Belt passenger train leaving Tex
arkana at 9:25 p. M. in charge of Con-
ductor Armstrong and Engineer Hen
derson, was held up and robbed near
Eylau four miles south of Texarkana,
last night. The train was tagged by
one of the robbers, who forced the
fireman to go back and cut off the mail
and baggage cars, and returning,
forced the engineer to give up the
management of his engine. One of
the robbers, who, it appears, is an ex-
pert engineer. ran the engine mail
and express cars about mile from
the point where the first stop was
made and forced the express messen-
ger to open his car. The robbers then
blew open the safe with dynamite, Sc
curing, it is said, very large amount
of booty. The exact amount is with
held by the railroad and express peo-
pie, but 1t is known that very large
shipment was made last night on this
train.
The robbers after securing the loot
cut the engine from the mail and ex.
press cars and forcing Engineer Hen
derson to get off, they took the engine,
in charge of the robber engineer, and
went south at full speed No passen-
gers were molested. They were, how
ever, badly frightened and hid their
valuables. The robbers were evident
ly in possession of all facts concern
ing this particular shipment of money,
together with schedule of the train,
as their scheme was successful in
every respect. There were five men in
the gang.

Unprecedented Fall of Rain, Accom-.
panied by Cloudburst.
Cleveland, Sept with the break
ing of dawn yesterday morning the
citizens of Cleveland awoke to look
upon a scene of unparalleled devasta-
ton and destruction caused by a rag
ing food. While the entire city was
more or less affected, the great volume
OF raging water vented its anger over
miles of the eastern portion of the city
and caused an amount OF damage ap-
proximated at $10O0,O00. The appall.
ing overflow was caused by terrific
rain that commenced to fall shortly
after 2 o'clock. turned into perfect
cloudburst between the hours of 3 and
and then continued with great force
until nearly 10 o'clock. The storm,
according to the weather officials, was
the heaviest that ever swept over
Cleveland since the establishment of
the government bureau in this city
over 40 years ago. That no lives were
lost is nothing short of miracle. as
many stories of thrilling escapes from
the water on several of the principel
residence streets of the city are told.
The surging waters spread over an
area nearly eight miles long and near
ly mile wide. This extended from
Langdon Hills avenue to East Cleve-
land back to East Madison avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Giddings brooks down
Quincy street swamped Vienna street.
rushed over Cedar avenue, back over
on East Prospect street. rushed like
mill race down Lincoln avenue to
Euclid avenue and then on to Glen
Park place. where houses were under
mined as though built on straw and
almost incredible damage done to
streets and property.

consumed, but it is known that Tom

the most picturesque features of the

We saw this glass in process of man

larger than walnut, but by twirling
and blowing and molding it grew to the
size of an orange, with the shape of an

and there was more rolling and blow
