There are sections OF the west and
northwest where the reception Of
enough rainfall TO make luxuriant
growth Of grass and good crops Of ce-
reals is little short Of a positive mis-
fortune in that it tempts home seekers
and settlers to buy such land and at
TEMPT to farm the soil in the same
manner as IN the states farther east
whore the rainfall is uniform, sufficient
and dependable. Such condition pre-
wallis this season, the rainfall being
ample and the crops good well over
into the so called range country. The
abnormal eagerness to secure cheap
lan(L which is developing into craze
all over the northwest, is carrying hun
dre,ls Of settlers over the danger line,
and they are paying all the way from
S. tD SIS per acre for land which expe-
rience proves should be never touched
with the pillow. There is absolutely no
truth in the claim so often made that
settlement and cultivation Of the soil
induce and promote an increased av-
erage rainfall This fad was thorough
" exploded in the history of western

A KICK IusrrrrEn.

Now, here we make a kick, and
justified one at that. Reduction in rev
enue taxes to the amount Of 10000 {
went INTO effect July i, the government
getting more money than it needed, but
the taxes thus Cancelled benefited stock
brokers', banks. gamblers. brewers, pat
ent medicine men. and not the common
people, who still have to be content
with sixteen or seventeen pounds OF
sugar for a dollar. Why not have made
a partial reduction In the excessive tax
on sugar, one of the absolute necessa-
ries q, living for the common people,
and let the classes mentioned have
still contributed to the support of the
governments The government tax on
sugar is one of the most illogical and
burdeilsome taxes. save as the govern
ment needs the revenue produced, that
was ever placed upon the backs Of the
American people. 1t is akin to the salt
tax in India.

Times in One Niqht.

Times in One Night.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 1.-The en-
tire Eighth Regiment was called to
arms during Saturday night as a re-
suit OF three attacks made by a band
of men in ambush who threw stones
at the troops now in camp on the pla-
teau outside the town. These attacks
are becoming so frequent that Briga-
dier General Goblin has decided to
adopt stern measures to end them.
Last night a double guard, supplied
with ball cartridges surrounded the
camp, and the sentries were instructed
that if Saturday nights stone throwing
was repeated they must shoot to kiln
and investigate afterwards. One of the
attacking parties, a Lithuanian. named
William Stoponitz, is under arrest. II
is not known how many were in the
crowd, but the officers Of the Eighth
Regiment believe the number to have
been more than dozen.
Brigadier General Goblin said he had
issued orders that stern measures be
taken with all such offenders. g

troops here, and his staff were on the
scene early. The camp is located on
very high hill just outside the town
proper, and commands a full view of
the town. Within the camp lines are
quartered two full regiments-the
Eighth and Twelfth-two companies Of
the Fourth Regiment and the troop OF
cavalry.
The mine workers are greatly in
censed over the calling out of the
troops. They assert that this action
was entirely unwarranted and is an
unjustifiable expense on the state. The
strikers. through their officials, are
making an effort to have the soldiers
withdrawn The first step in this di
rection was taken Thursday, when the
following telegram was sent to Gov
ernor Stone:
I'VE. the Undersigned officials of tbs

send troops to Shenandoah was basel
