The, Hot Weather Freak Sun Lives.

Not long since that old.timc scourge,
the hot weather citizcn, made his
annual appearance on the streets Of
Forsyth. You are all acquainted with
him. He is good enough fellow, and
the only trouble with him IL that he is
always calling peoples attention to the
fact that IL Is hot. Take him and put
him astridc cake Of Swan creek leo
and II no knew II was June day he
would insist that II was too hot to live.
When you turn this well.mcaning but
badly mistaken fellow loose In tho
crowd the first thing he does Is 10 look
up n thermometer aud remark that II
Is 9S In the shade, Then he goes on TO
tell how 'roas,ingly hot" 1t was yes
terday, and how much more 80 II will
be tomorrow. II nobody shuts him of
BY some happy thrust he will go on like
an eight day cuckoo clock until every
man on the street catches the contagio
and Is willing TO admit the possibility
OF sunstroke coming down through
the shade and touching somebody for u
five dollar doctor bill.
The "hot.weathcr citizen" Is q genu.
Inc christian scientist, and Is response
bic for iive.eighths OF the heat. People
mover think OF the slice Of hades the
weather bureau is making until this
unhappy assassin oi all comfort comes
along with his watory countenancc and
birthstone talk; then everybody remem-
bers at once that his maternal aunt's
great-grandiaiher was overtakcn by the
sun in the harvest field and had his
eyes ruined by the boiling rays
II doesn't make the weather cooler
for tho man TO look ut the thermometer
every hour--the weather bureau does
that for him. About the only thing for
a sensible man To do Is ~ shoulder tho
usual discomfort incident to the season,
take n bath once In n while, avoid Ice
cream and iced drinks, and nature will
| do the rest.

A Zig Surveying Force at Work.

The following from tho Leader DEM
ocrat, OF Springfield, while consldera.
bly, mixed on geography, direction, and
some other things, is still OF much In.
tcrest in this connection:
George W. Horton, assistant chief
engineer OF the Frisco, has returned
from trip TO Taney county, where he
met ut Forsyth Mr.. Parker aud his par
ty Of Rock Island railroad surveyors.
The Rock Island man was very much
interested in what Mr.. Horton told him
about the country south Of Springfield,
and talked freely OF the new railroad
route.
He said his company would certainly
build road from Maries county into
central Arkansas. He has six survey.
Ing parties at work--two ut Rolla, two
at Seymour and two In Arkansas. The
route that seemed most practical runs
up the Gasconndc River 10 It's head ut
Seymour, then over the watershed ut
Swan creek and down that stream TO
White River.
Tho aim was to get the shortest pos
siblc line from the Usage country into
the cotton belt OF Arkansas. The most
direct route from the point In Maries
county selected us the beginning Of the
road to Little Rock runs near the line
Of Taney and Stone counties, and would
not miss Springfield very far.
Mr.. Parker also stated that the road
might possibly come into Springfield,
and he was much interested In what
Mr.. Horton told him Of the survey
which Mr.. Horton, himself, had made
through that country and which goes
into Springfield. Mr.. Horton stopped
all night ut the same hotel with the
Rock Island man, and the character OF
the country was fully discussed.

The Cooperative Grain Com
pany Gets the Long Haul.

The Kansas Farmer cooperative Grain
association in establishing grain elevators
at various railroad stations is running
against a number of very peculiar obsta-
Giles.
The Cooperative association calls the
regular elevators the trust elevators
The former people say that the latter are
railroad companies which they can not Sc
cure for themselves The elevators which
nave been first on the ground are given
locations on the companys right of way
close up to the tracks so that the grain
needs but little elevation so far as loading
into a car is concerned.
The Cooperative people have been COM
PEELED to secure land as near to the COM
pany's right of way as possible and then
build chutes running from a hight point IN
order to drop the grain into the car.
The accompanying picture illustrates this
feature and shows the emergency plan
The Cooperative association Officers say
that it has applied for lease privileges on
railroad right of way and been refused at
more than 20 stations. They say that the
railroad companies in refusing the lease
tor capacity for handling the grain at
those sections and that it is their general
rule to refuse lease privileges under these
circumstances The Cooperative people
say that it is not so much a question of q
sufficient number Of elevators as it is that
the present elevators are charging excess
sive prices and are, by the railroad COM
panies' methods sustained in their monop-
oily.

WAGES GOING UP.
Some Advances in Iron Region and
More Are Looked For.

More Are Looked For.
Cleveland. June 5.-The Iron Trade
Review in its current issue says:
The strike of blast furnace workers in
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
came on June ], according to promise,
and as intimated in these columns. last
week, is practically confined to the mer-
chant furnaces. Sixteen furnaces are
banked and two others have taken this
opportunity TO make repairs. The daily
capacity Of the Is furnaces is about A.
100 tons, or s per cent Of the total pig
iron production shown in the May sta
tistics- Two merchant furnaces in the
Mahoning valley are still in operate
As yet the steel corporation furnaces
in the valleys are active, as is the Sha-
ron Steel company's stack at South
Sharon, Pa.
The strike has not affected the Pitts
burg district. The companies whose
men have gone out have taken no steps
in the matter and there will be no coli
lective handling Of the trouble In a
few cases a 10 per cent increase has
been offered but not accepted. The de-
mand for eight-hour shifts cannot be
met, since the supply OF men is not
more than adequate under the 12-hour
regime. It is not unlikely that work
viii be resumed at some of the furnaces
within a week at some advance. In the
Buffalo district a 10 per cent advance
was given voluntarily last month and
this may be the basis of adjustment in
the valleys. The United States Steel
corporation which has been receiving
iron from more than half the idle fur
naces will have its steel works output
curtailed by so much, and the strike
viii have its effect also in shortening
the raw material supply of other steel
works. as well as of mills and found
ries. The anthracite strike has had no
serious effect on the iron industry as
yet, though several Pennsylvania fur
naces have had to bank from time to
time because coke shipments were not
sufficient The pig iron sales of the
week have included $4,000 tons of Bes-
semer to various independent" steel
companies, deliveries running from Oc-
tOber 1 to April 1. For the most part
$40 at furnace was paid. but for some
of the iron S20.50 and as high as SOL
The steel corporation is expected to buy
100000 tons for delivery in the second
quarter of 1903. but the negotiations VIII
not be put through until the furnace
strike is over. Purchases of basic iron
have been made, Virginia basic being
sold a S2115 delivered Pittsburg. The
freight is S1.5O The sOuthen furnaces
have little foundry iron to deliver this
year, less. it would appear, than the
foundries win want from that source.
