The Weather for August.

At this busy time of the year many
of our readers will watch all weather
conditions with interest. We there
fore give the predictions of Hicks in
condensed form, which are as reliable
as any that may be obtained. He
predicts storm disturbances from the
lst TO 4th, with the crisis of summer
heat the 1st, I'd and 3D., followed by
low barometer, threatening clouds
and severe clustering, and local rains.
Then rising barometer and clear
weather 4th and 9TH, with warmer
weather and reactionary storm period
9th, 7th and Sth, and severe summer
squalls, changing to westerly winds
and cooler. \ heated term will ap-
pear about the 18th to 18th, with
severe local storms in some sections,
changing to cooler the 18th and 18th,
followed by cloudiness and storms the
18th and 18th, and cooler, more
pleasant weather the 10Th to 2lst.
General storm conditions the Gath to
9th, followed by cooler, and reac-
tion to storm conditions 29th and 30th,
with cooler weather closing the
month.

But few of the average run of peo-
pie are aware of the great difference
in the wage scale of this country and
that of the old world. Taking 1902
as an example, the average wages
paid are: Great Britain, Sl.45 per
day: France, $l.34 United States,
50. 80, and other countries in proper
tion to England and France. With
this difference, and an abundance of
work and money, it is not to be won
dered at that immigrants are swarm
ing in from all over the world.

WASHINGTON STREET WILL BE PAVED
City Council Vote TO Pave This Thorough.
fare This Summer With Gales.
burg Brick.

AT the adjourned meeting of the city
council held last Wednesday evening,
. resolution was passed and carried
/ by the unanimous vote of the cornell,
ordering brick paving of Galesburg
brick to be laid this summer on Wash
ington street. from the bridge over
Dry Run to the south side of the Mil
'waukee tracks. a petition was pre-
sented to the council, signed by a
majority of the property owners Ii ying
on this street, asking that this be
done, and it was very promptly and
gladly voted. Engineer Tschirgi has
been sent for and is expected here to-
night with plans and specifications,
and as soon as they are accepted bids
will 6e advertised for. The specif-
cations as contemplated will call for
brick pavement of Galesburg brick,
the same as Water street, thirty feet
in width, leaving parking or lawn
twelve feet in width on either side
between the sidewalk and curbing.
This combination will make without
question the finest street in the city,
and when completed it will be a
driveway that will rival some of the
boulevards of the larger cities. The
residents along the street will take
pride in keeping their lawns, walks,
etc. in good condition, in keeping
with the street The council has al
ready ordered lead pipe connections
made with the water mains, and to-
night will doubtless take further steps
concerning the cement curbing,
sewerage, and asking for bids.
This Improvement will make beau
tiful street out of the one that has
been a constant source of trouble for
the city. The heavy rains have kept
il in poor condition for two years
past, and when the council took steps
toward macadamizing it the property
owners indicated their desire that
brick paving should be laid, so that ii
would be permanent improvement,
and the council very gladly acquiesed
with the request. 1t will also be a
beginning which we hope will in the
future be followed by other residence
streets, and even already there is talk
of improvements to other streets of
the same kind.

WHAT CAUSES INEBRIACY.
The Board of Control Gives Some Facts.

In the last quarterly report of the
board of control is paper on the care
of inebriates by DR.. Charles Apple
gate, superintendent of the Mt. Pleas
ant hospital for insane. Some very
interesting and surprising facts are
set out therein. AS Independence has
contributed several members to the
population of the inebriate ward
there a few of the more salient points
may not be out of place.
Dr. Applegate takes 100 cases and
traces out their history. OF these l44
were men and only six women. The
average age of admission was 40 years,
showing that most people are able to
control their appetites long after the
drink habit becomes seated. But it Is
shown that the habit is nearly always
formed between 10 and 20, and that
period is given as the most likely to
fix the future character of the person.
1t is customary to consider the
American as temperate and the for
eigner as hard drinker. Yet of these
100 patients 1877 are Americans and
only thirteen foreigners. The German
is brought up to drink beer from
childhood, yet there are two Germans
in the number. The joker points his
wit with an illusion to re Irishman's
love for whiskey, bur one Ir'sh
man is in the list.
An occupation is cred great
help to temperance, but .ere are only
twenty-three unskilled laborers. The
rest are mechanics, farmers, ETC.,
with one clergyman.
Eighty eight have a common school
education, twentyseven have been
through high school, while twenty one
have graduated from colleges. Four
can read and write only. Thus it
will be seen that it is not the Hitter
ate who do all the drinking, for not
one of the $50 would be placed in that
class.
All of the $50 but eleven are be-
levers in some religious doctrine, al
though forty-four are listed as back
sliders The Methodists lead with
twenty four; the Lutherans have fif-
teen; the Christians fifteen; the
Catholics ten. Of the backsliders"
the Methodists lost eighteen; the
Christians ten; the Lutherans
seven and the Catholics six.
1t does not seem to have been family
troubles that drove these people to
drink. Forty-four have good homes,
fifty-five reported as fair" while,
but sixteen are given as "bad." "
Forty-two are addicted to the use of
narcotics, besides liquor.
Eighty-five used whisky mostly.
thirty one alcohol, and twenty mine
beer. Three used whiskey only aud
two beer.
Eighty-two divided their patronage
between the drug store and the saloon
fortytwo bought at drug stores only
and but nineteen at saloons only.
Seven depended ON bulge shipped in
by express.
Thirty-seven had been given
previous treatment for inebriety, and
twenty one had tried the Kelley cure.

A new game has been introduced
among social circles and it is likely
to become popular. The amusement is
called Christianity. The girls all
get on one side of the room and are
the christians and the boys get on the
other side and are the heatnens. Then
the heathens all 60 over and embrace
Christianity.

Pioneer Merchant Will Retire.

In another column will be found
the announcement that the store of
liver Larsen is for sale. Mr.. Larsen
has decided to sell out his business
interests and retire. He has been in
the harpess here for over quarter of
century, and feels the weight of
years upon his shoulders. with the
consequent desire to spend the re-
mainder of his days without the cares
of active business. He will be missed
from the business circles of Decorah
for some time. as his long career as
one of our leading business men has
given him wide acquaintance and he
has always been identified with affairs
that make for the advancement of the
city. 1t will be the wish of his hosts
of friends throughout the county that
he may yet enjoy many years OF health
and happiness.

The Scandinavian Relief commits
sion. appointed by Governor Cummins
some months ago, for the purpose of
collecting funds in Iowa to be sent to
the relief of the starving Scandi-
navians in Sweden. Norway and Fin.
land, made its final report to the
governor last week. 1t shows that the
people of Iowa contributed with great
liberality to the cause. The total
sum collected was $lO.S7O. 40. The
expenses. were light, reaching total
of but $449. 62. The entire net sum
left after deducting expenses has been
forwarded to the sufferers. The
report shows that about 60 per cent of
the finds went to Sweden, about 20
per cent to Norway and the same
amount to Flnlaud.

state colleges, S5, $50, 600 aces of corn,

mates of industrial schools. Iowa
contains greater portion of tillable
land than any other state in the
Union. Iowa is one of the four states
not mentioned in the United States
census report as having used fertiliz-
ers on the soil.
