Hicks, the weather man, gives in Word an

zone of the heated terms of the month will
appear from about the 18th to the 10th. At the
beginning of this period the warm wave will
start in western sections, attended by low and
falling barometer; easterly to southerly winds
will increase the heat over all sections east of
the actual storm centers. AS the low barome-
ter moves eastward, threatening Clouds with
with favorable conditions for some generous
midsummer rains. The storm diagram shows
that Mercury disturbance is also central near
the centre OF this regular storm period. This
greatly increases the probability of rain from
about the 18th to the 18th. While the heat wave
and storms are still passing central and eastern
parts of the country, change to cooler will be
advancing from the west and north, so that by

also have entered its autumnal eQuinoctial at
this time. General storm conditions will de-

pected about the s4th to 9th. If equatorial
storms appear in the south at this time, reach
ing regions as far north as our extreme south
ern states, phenomenally cool weather will fol-

states. Such results need not be surprise to
our readers.

storm conditions and more or less storminess
and rain will result in many, localities. Rising
barometer and change to cooler weather gener-
ally will mark the closing hours of the month"
A New Man in the Field-Mr. John
Hiltz for County Commissioner.--The
Highlandtown Sentinel of last week said /:
Republicans of the 18th district will be graft
fed to learn that Mr.. John Hiltz. the builder,
of BIG Bank street, Highlandtown, has con.
sented to allow his name to be used in con-
nection with the Republican nomination for
County Commissioner. Mr.. Hiltz is not
candidate in the sense that he is hunting for
the Office, because, as he expressed it, should
he be elected he will lose from the neglect his
business would suffer by the attention to the
duties Of the position twice much as the
office pays. He takes the high ground, how
ever, that every man who can afford it should
devote some of his life to the public good, and
if his party associates think that his name
upon the ticket will strengthen the prospects
of party success, he is willing to make any
reasonable sacrifices that the seeking Of the
Office requires.
''Mr. Hiltz recognizes the fact, however,
that it will require hard and earnest work to
bring success to the Republican standard, and
if he is chosen as the nominee for the position,
he will 60 into the fight to win. He will make
a clean, open contest. with the issues, as he
sees them, clearly defined. Never having
taken any part in the factional disputes in his
party, he refuses now to be the creature of any
faction or set OF men, nor Will ne be pound
by any promises other than those he will
make to the people for an honest and economi-
cal administration OF the Office as far as in
him lies.
"Mr. Hiltz has been approached on several
occasions by delegations of citizens claiming
to be independent Democrats with a view to
getting him to run as an independent He
has replied to all these overtures in substance
as follows:
Gentlemen, while l have always been
rather independent in my actions, in politics
and otherwise, at heart l am Republican and
believe in Republican principles, and 1 can
not consent to run on any other ticket If
my party wants me, am at its service and in
that event shall be obliged for any aid you
can give me-"

lican Club, Monday evening. the mention of
Mr.. Hiltz's name as possible candidate for
County Commissioner was heartily received
and it is stated on good authority that the club
will be unanimous for his support. 1t is gen.

qualities, he is just the man to unite the party
and inspire the enthusiasm necessary for
