Sioux City's Big Delegation.

That Sioux City is determined to cut
large figure in the stock business
from western South Dakota was clearly |
shown to the cattlemen by the strength |
and character OF the delegation sent by i
the Stock Yards Co., and the Sioux
City Live Stock Exchange to the
Western south Dakota Stockgrower's |
meeting. Credit for the organization
of the SPLENDID delegation is due
largely to the efforts of F. L. Eaton,
general manager of the Sioux City
yards and Chilly" Ward, president of
the Sioux City Live Stock Exchange.
The delegation came in special Pull
man car, the "Abbotsford" The car
was placarded in red letters three
feet high: "Sioux City Stock Yards.
The Home Market Of the Northwest"
and the delegates started in to make
themselves known by decorating the
cattlemen with the Sioux City badge.
a gorgeous gilt affair in the shape OF
fob with hook, chain aDd charm.
These fobs were in great demand and
| it was observed that not few of them
found their way to the fronts of shirt
| waists of cattlemen's wives and daugh-
tiers, where they served we'll their pur-
pose of advertising Sioux Citys mar
| ket.
The Sioux City Stock Y ards delega-
ton was accompanied by E. J. McVann
commissioner of the Sioux City com.
merical club, an Organization OF the
general business interests Of the town
Mr.. McVann's mission was to meet the
business people generally and make
them better acquainted with Sioux
! City, and to solicit ior Sioux City some
consideration from the Hills people in
the way of general commercial inter
course. Sioux City's jobbing and dis
tributing trade are growing rapidly
: and large share of this growth. SO Mr.
5 McVann says, is due to the friendly re
lations with the Hills merchants ant
dealers.
The Sioux City car went to Dead
wood and Lead this morning and viii
return tonight going from her
to Hot springs where day will b.
spent before going home on Saturday.

July Weather.

The July report of the Climate and Crop
Service of the Weather Bureau, somewhat
late in its arrival at our desk, is of more than
ordinary interest, accompanying the usual
complete data of weather conditions for the
month with two diagrams illustrating the
progress of the storms of July 3D. and Goth,
the range of the thermometer, barometer and
wind gauge, and the general atmospheric
conditions over the Uuited States few
hours before and after the occurrence OF the
storm of the goth, the one in which the wind
did so much damage in Baltimore.
The mean temperature during July in the
entire territory, (Maryland and Delaware)
was rs degrees, or but OF below normal for
the month at Frederick it was 7S2, or 10
oboye the normal. This comes somewhat in
the nature of a surprise, as were not prepar'
ed TO learn hatJuly reached the average de.
gree of heat in this locality.
The highest temperature OF the month was
104, at Boetteherville, Alegany county on
the 18th and 10Th and at Great Falls, Mont.
gomery county and Milford. Del, on the 10Th.
The lowest temperature was AZ at Deer
Park and Grantsvll, Garrett county, on the
18th, and at the former again on the Gath.
The greatest monthly range was 81 at
Boettchervile and the least was 80 at Jewell.
The greatest daily range was AZ at Han
cock on the 18th, and the least was 5, Clear
spring on the 9Th and Easton on the Both,
The average rainfall for the entire terrific
ry was AZ inches. 0.67 below the normal ;
at Frederick it was 3. 70 inches, or 0.10 above
normal for that point. This, however, is
not fairly indicative of the rainfall through
out the county, the very heavy local rain of
IA In one day having contributed to the ex-
cess noted, and further proof that the north.
ern section of the county was deficient in
rainfall is found in the Harvey station report
which gives 1t as l .05 below the normal
At Baltimore on the Goth, 81 inch of rain
fell in FIVE minutes and at Solomon's 2 %
inches fell in two hours on the 30th.
There is no report from our nearest station,

Thirty-seven PensiOned.

At the meeting Of the State Board of Edu.
cation held il Baltimore on Wednesday Of
last week, the full board being present, thir-
ty seven teachers were retired and pensioned
under the act of the last legislature, which
allows 5000 per annum to teachers who are
60 years old and who have taught in the pub
lie or normal schools Of Maryland 25 years,
with record beyond reproach, and who
haye become mentally or physically incapa-
BILE of continuing in the service. The law re.
quires that each teacher applying for the
benefits of the act must make out an appli-
cation certifying that all the conditions haye
been fulfilled, which must be accompanied
by doctors certificate, certifying as to their
mental or physical condition.
In looking over the applications it was
found that nine were defective and two were
rejected. An interesting question arose in
the examination of the papers of the appIl'
cants, as to whether person who had been
a teacher and school examiner for IS years
was eligible 20 the benefits, but 1t was de.
cided that the time that they had been school
examiners did not count. The law explicit.
ly states that "they must have taught" for
this period. The question also arose wheth-
er the applicants must now be in SCI vce-
active service-but this, too, was soon settled
negatively. as the law says those "who have
been teachers"
While there has been considerable adverse
criticism of this measure, it has, in the main,
been prompted by political considerations :
1t is, in our Judgment both wise and just, for
one very excellent reason, even if there be but
that one: a life, the very heart and prime of
it spent in the public service at salary that
does reach one fifth of that paid the under
officials in the public service of the State,
whose duties are not as arduous, nor demand
any higher degree of intelligence, should not
be permitted to exc out an existence on the
savings of salary which in the gross, during
% years, about equals the one half of the sal
airy of the Clerk of The Circuit Court or the
Register of Wills, paid to them in six, or less
than one fourth the number of years In q
word, there is no valid reason why the teach
er who meets the requirements of this law,
considered as public servant, should not be
included in the favored class.
There are two beneficiares of the law in
this county, Messrs John Ohio Hays, Volts.
! vile and John Landers, Thurmont.

Old Bach..-DO Your Duty.

If the old bachelors of this place have any
spunk at all they will net permit the wall OF
anguish that went up in the Town Hall, on
Tuesday evening of last week, to ring as a
reproach in their ears indefinitely, or permit
q possible repetition to stand as menace and
harassment of the hearts of the happy and
contented Benedicks, whose soulful domesti-
city wrought hard at the heaItstrngs as
the plants of the void and longing spinster
soul, almost, for time, persuaded them to
become disciples of Joseph Smith and a
postles of Mormon, that their paths should
be frightened and their laments hushed.
Old bachelors and widowers: toe the mark;
you haye been fairly challenged.
