COTTON OPENED
 LAZY AT DECLINE Day Influenced by Lower Cables
 and Realizing ONLY ONCE HUNG FIRE The Markets Closing Tone Was Barely Steady and Proflt-Taklng a Con
 spicuous Factor In the
 Last Hour.

New York, June 25.-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of ten points to an advance of one point. the declines be- ing in the nearby positions, which were influenced by the lower cables ana nqui- dation, while the new crop months were sustained by the indifferent weather and unfavorable nature of crop advices. For brief interval the market hung fire with the trade apparently waiting for some h. dication as to the position of tho leaders. This was soon forthcoming and the Sep tember position in New Orleans shot up about % points in a few minutes with the new months here following. July, which had opened at 12,sO and sold down on the call to 12 .s7 was back to 13.0S within ten minutes after the call was completed while August was rushed from Rn to 12 90 and September from 11.70 to n.s4 with the later months showing great activity and firmness. On the advance 1t was stated that there was Btill large out standing of short interest in the summer options. For time the short were urgent buyers. the market naturally had periods of lessened activity and firmness, but set backs were comparatively slight untll July had sold even with it's previous best price, 13.09 and August reaching 12.9S and Sep tember u.99 had touched new high rec- ords for the season Then realizing be- came more insistent bull support was ap parently withdrawn. and it was again re- ported that settlement had been effected in the more important interests In the summer months and many in the room again went short. In the last hour the realizing was very heavy with 5eptem- Der showing particular weakness, closing at 1.75. a loss of 24 points from the best of the morning. The other months were net five points lower to eight points higher, and the tone of the market was finally barely steady. Sales were estimat- ed at 700.000 bales.

Ms Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, MONTY

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race on one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed 1salmost
impossible to check, and alongin June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Dia-
rrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him as he rolled about
on the ground in great agony, and in
few moments the dose was repeated.
The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep in fortnight. The one little
bottle worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

Air Preaaure.

1t Is proved that when air Is heated II
rises, and also that it expands, and per-
haps some Of us are now wondering
why 1t should rise. This Is rather
hard subject, but perhaps we may be
able to explain It, In the first place
air presses on the earth everywhere
with a certain pressure. This is be-
cause of the attraction of gravity, which
pulls upon or gives weight to every
form of matter, whether solid, liquid or
gaseous. Now, air is matter in a gas
eOus form. 1t has very little weight,
but still II has some. Close to the sur
face of the earth air presses heaviest
because it is pressed down, not only by
its own weight, but also by the weight
Of the air above, and the air presses In
all directions as well as downward, be-
cause it Is so easily moved and can be
pushed or made to flow from one point
to another very much like water. AS
we go UP from the surface of the earth
the air presses less and less, because
there is less air above it. If you think
this out, you will see that any body
surrounded by air, like box held in
the hand, for instance, will be more
pressed upon on its lower side or bot
tom than on it's top.-Philadelph
Ledger,

In the days when the late archbishop
Of Canterbury. DR.. Frederick Temple,
was master Of Rugby he sentenced to
expulsion a boy who was innocent of
the offense charged against him, but
who could not clear himself without
exposing the real offender. The lad
made up his mind to bear the punish
ment and wrote to his father saying
that he was sure his family would rath-
er have him expelled than know him to
be sneak.
The father promptly sent the letter to
DR.. Temple, calling attention to post.
script In which the boy said he wished
the doctor could understand the matter
and added, Temple is beast. but he
is a just beast"
1t Is on record that Temple did under
stand, and the boy was not expelled
DR.. Temple, grim old man that he was
was always proud of the title "a just
beast"

Scientific observation justifies the es-
innate that daily average Of 6,5OO,OOO
tons of water Ii received into the Dead
sea from the Jordan and other sources
during the year. During the rainy sea-
son, says the Chicago Record Herald,
the amount is very much greater; dur
ing the dry season it is Of course very
much less, but this average will be
maintained year after year. There is
no outlet, and the level is kept down by
evaporation only, which is very rapid
because Of the intense heat, the dry at
mosphere and the dry winds which are
constantly blowing down the gOrges be-
tween the mountains. This evaporation
causes a haze or mist to hang over the
lake at all times, and when it is more
rapid than usual heavy clouds form
and thunderstorms sometimes rage with
great violence in the pocket between
the cliffs even in the dry season. A
flood of rain often falls upon the sur
face of the sea when the sun Is shin
ing, and the atmosphere is as dry as a
bone half a mile from the shore. The
mountains around the Dead sea are
rarely seen with distinctness because
Of this haze.

"Who is the Llar?n

The above heading appeared in the
Advocate last week and that paper
wants to know wherein it hasfalsified.
Now it would take more space than
we care to devote to the subject in this
issue TO enumerate all the instances in
which the Advocate has recently pre-
varicated. We would rather not men,
ton such matters. They tend some
what to lower the estimate the public
places in newspaper men for their acts
to be thus shown. But as it insists,
we will point to one instance in the
same article above referred to, which
was in its last weeks issue, where ii
says, referring to the editor OF this
paper, and the votes we received in
the recent convention. The Advocate
says, "We say you got seventy-four
votes. Prove that false" Now as
every one knew who kept a tally sheet
that day, we only got seveniy-one
votes. This is proven by the records
of the convention and by the pub
lished reports in both the REPUBLI-
CAN and the Advocate on the two
days following the convention. Oh
course there is no great difference be-
tween seventy-one and seventy-four,
but there is plenty to make them two
different and distinct amounts, and
especially so as the Advocate has
made so much of the exact number
seventy-four. This wrong statement
of the Advocate is but a sample of its
recent statements relating to republi'
can politics in this county. 1t has
not been at all careful to see that GER
tain statements, which seemed to it tC
be damaging to the republican party,
were correct or not before it published
them. 1t is making reputation for
carelessness concerning the facts.

For week ending June |, 1903.
This has been the most unfavorable
week of the season. The temperature
was below normal, with a very large
excess of clOudiness. Heavy showers
occurred daily in the larger part of
the state and severe local windstOrms
mot tOrnadoes) caused much damage
to trees, windmills and light struc-
lures in many places. Following are
the reports of heavy rainfall for the
week: Des Moines, 7:40 in.; Jefferson,
7:49; Scranton, SOB; Carroll, All;
Marshalltown, 5:61; BlairstOwn, $40;

report a heavy excess above normal.
Damage by floods has been almost
unprecedented. The loss to crops by
washing will be considerable and
much of the lowlands will be aban-
doned. Field work has been practi
cally impossible, except in a few very
favored localities. There is great
need of dry warm weather to repair
some measure of the damages and to
secure crops from the uplands that
have been planted. The acreage of
all cereal crops must of necessity be
materially less than the area harveS-
ted last year. The apple crop is

The RattIesnake's Rattle.

The utility of the rattle to the rattle
snake is a problem still awaiting solu-
ton. 1t has been supposed to be useful
as paralyZlng its prey through terror
excited by the sound thus induced.
But this Is a very doubtful explana-
ton. 1t is akin to the notion formerly
entertained that serpents had a power
Of fascinating other creatures. Others
have thought that 1t seems to excite
the curiosity of animals and so brings
them within the rattlesnake's reach.
1t has also been supposed that it serves,
as it may do, to enable snakes of diff
ferent sexes to find each other and also
to guard the animal from attack when
1t is helpless from it's power of Offense
having been temporarily exhausted.
No sufficient evidence has, however,
been collected to show that any OF
these ingenious speculations affords US
a real clew to the true cause Of such a
curious and elaborate mechanism

"A basin Of water cruel, with half q

A Choking Dog.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a
nail or piece of tin gets in the
throat, and there is great danger of
death before the arrival of the surgeon
Many of them do die, but there is no
reason for this, for it is easy, without
the slightest danger Of getting bitten,
to put the hand in the mouth of a dog
and to draw out or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking it. A bandage
"a handkerchief or towel will do-is
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw, and in similar way anoth-
er bandage is passed between the teeth
and over the under jaw. One person,
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keeps the dogs mouth wide open.
A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve it

j. M. Fisher, of Lincoln township,
who was attending court here this
week as juror, says the storm that
passed through that township last
week was more serious than was gen.
orally known outside of there. He
says it was not a cyclone but rather a
tornado, not doing any real work like
the total ruin that remains in the cy-
clones path. This storm was about
eight miles wide, extending from
within about a mile of the south side
of Lincoln township, to about three
miles into Carroll county, or to Man
ming. He estimates that twenty or
more barns were destroyed in its prog
ress across the north east part of
Shelby and the corner townships of
Audubon and Carroll counties. Num-
berleSs Out-buildings were destroyed
and trees and telephone poles were
demolished. On the road from Mr..
Fishers to Manning, a distance of
eight miles, seven windmills were
blown down. 1t was rather re-
markable that no more than one
house was destroyed in Lincoln town
ship.

the pastor OF the church said that he
