Is the sequel to the developments dur

country has been stirred by the publ

poured out upon him in the third vol
umc of u. u. MacClay's history OF
the United States navy. In which pub
lication Schlcy Is said tn have run
away in %caitiff flight and is In addi-
tion denounced as u coward, u eur
and n traitor"
The Schlcy court Of inquiry will I'M
doubtcd,y he one Of the most cele'
brated in the naval military history
of the country. The high rank OF the
officers involved In the controversy
and the intense public feeling which
has been aroused all combine to give
to the investigation IA dramatic in

compare with it. The appointment
of the court Of inquiry Is expected T.
be made by Secretary Long, though
it would be In the power OF the presi

SLAUGHTER OF FISH

Game Warden Simpkins to Protect Fish
In the Platte.
Game Warden Simpkins has decided
TO stop the slaughter of fish which'is
going on along the Platte river as a re-
suit of the low stage of water. Every
year the river, which is wide and sandy
divides into many channels and some
times sand bars form and cut of the
retreat of fish. The long dry spell has
lowered the river so much that in some
places the fish are left high and dry on
sand bars in the shallow pools. The
people along the river catch the fish
with pitchforks and haul them away.
The game law prohibits the catching
of fish by any means except by hook
aid line.

sol GETS RED HOT
Temperature Mounts to 1868
at Lincoln, :Neb
FOUR DEATHS CAUSED FROM HEAT
For Seven Hours Temperature Exceeded
i. lOO Degrees--Fifteen Year Record
I'm Capital City s~naashed-Hot
Elsewhere Also.

The temperature Sunday at Lincoln
reached 1858.
-Four men are dead in Lincoln. Neb..
this, Monday morning, as a result of
the extreme neat of Sunday.
The dead are:
August Kortge, tailor.
Axcl Segerholm, grocer.
George Duncan, carpenter.
g.. II. Rogers, printer.
All previous records for excessive
heat were broken and the result, so
unusual for Lincoln, caused a genuine
shock when made known. Thermom-
eters located neal the pavements dur
ing the afternoon registered as high as
liz degrees. Besides being the hot
test day of the year, the temperature
is the highest recorded during the If
/. teen years the weather bureau as been
In operation in Lincoln. The tcmpera-
ture att p. m. was lOa degrees, q rec
ord breaker for this hour of the day.
For thirty one days there have been
oHly two days when the maximum
temperature has fallen below 100 de-
~ 'cs. This was on July 2 and ;.
The strain of the hot weather began
TO tell in earnest July 81 on the popu-
lation Of Lincoln. During the past
week there have been many who laid
the foundation Of some Of the tragedies
that have occurred to the break down
Of nervous systems because Of the ter
rife heat. Sunday 1t was brought home
with unwelcome force that the people
Of Lincoln cannot bear the heat for an
interminable period. The men who
spccumbed were working men but
None with the exception of Mr.. Dun.
can were exposed to outdoor work dur
ing the week. Mr.. Kortge has been
working indoors and Mr.. S~egerholm
has been In his store continually. A
peculiar coincidence is that two of the
men were found lying dead on Their
beds, showing that they must have
met death In a state Of complete ex
haustion. The ter rible effects of the
heat were apparent on the bodies o.
the first and last named men TO,
though they had not been dead long
they were changed almost beyond rec
ognition. 1t was something that puz
xled the physicians called to attend
and made the ron investigate yer.
closely to ascertain weather there were
any other reasons from which deatl
might have occurred.
George II. Rogers, a printer employ
cd on the journal, was found dead In
the back yard of his home, having ex
pired sometime during the night as
result of being overheated.

the southern counties md has been
damaged considerably In most north

quite generally beginning to tassel very
small and Is in n critical condition. In
southern counties IL has been damaged

places less than half u crop. In north

BEAUTY or AN EMPRESS

Vas Maintained att IN Outlay of $e2O-
I 900 ANNUALLY. =
The Empress Josephine Of France
was allowed at the beginning of her
reign $4,000 a year for her toilet, and
later this was Increased to 500, 900. But
there was never a year during the
time that she. did not far overreach
her allowance and oblige the emperor
TO come to her relief, According to the
estimate Mason has made, Josephine
spent on an average $22O,O00 yearly
ON her toilet during her reign. It is
only by going over her wardrobe
article by article and noting the cost
and n1am Der of each piece that one can
realize how woman could spend this
amount. Take the simple items of her
hosee-Whiea were almost always white
SIX, often richly embroidered ca in
openWork. She kept $50 or more, pairs
on hand, and they cost from So. to, So
a pair She employed two hairdyess+
ers-one for every day at $1,000 a;
year; the other for great occasions. at
Sz'ooo year; and she paid them each
from $1,000 to $4,000 a year for fir
nlshlngs. 1t was the same for. all: the
smaller items of her toilet. s..;

In talking Of the matter to THE
s sAP,PE IskAsL u the governor said that had
he followed the dictates of his feelings
and desires he would have refused I'd
honor the equisition but that after
due elaboration he was forced to the
conviction that it was his duty to send
tho man back 81
It is to be hoped that the governor
is honest in all he says but it will be
very hard to get the Afro Americans
OF. st. Paul to believe it. He however
asks that we withhold our Judgment
until such a time as subsequent events
prove that he was wrong or right in
his judgment. It is sincerely hoped
the strong fight which has been put
up will have some effect i'll preventing
a mob murder, but it is not believed
that Summers will get fairYtrial
even if he is not lynched, and what
ever his fate it must be laid at the
governors door, who might have saved
all further trouble or anxiety il the
matter by refusing to honor the requi-
sition. We will wait to hear from
Tennessee.
