WARMEST WEATHER
Yet to come, But Will be
Followed by Frost.

According to the predictions of
Hicks, the following weather con-
ditions will prevail during the month
of August. About the 4th there
will be rapid rise of temperature,
cloudy and general storm conditions,
with rain, wind and thunder, pass
ing eastward from the 4th to the
9Th. Fair and cooler weather will
follow close on the heels Of these
storms. The 18th and 18th are re-
dictionary storm dates and a second
airy series of disturbances will de-
velop and will last probably to about
the 18th, during which time rain
and wind will visit many parts of
the country. Change to very much
cooler will come in from the north
west on the heels of these disturb
ances, extending to the 2lst.
The 23rd to 25th will likely bring
Crisis or summer heat, followed by
a decided and general change to
much cooler with almost or quite
frost temperature over much of the
country to the northward. The last
week of the month will bring a VIC
lent storm period. Tidal waves,
seismic and earthquake phenomena
are almost a certainty in many parts
of the globe not far from August
80. Violent storms of rain, wind
and thunder will sweep over central
and Northern states. Very cool
weather, with frost to the North,
may be expected to follow this pc
riod. The crisis of the very cool
wave will fall in the opening days of

The Work of Sanitation Is
Being Vigorously
Pushed.
RECORD ON SUNDAY.

4NCW ~ lCdlAo3 Culy o.. WSulJ
seven new cases of yellow fever were
reported in New Orleans yesterday.
There were three deaths. Only
four new foci were reported, and it
is source of encouragement that
the spread of the disease is becom-
ing slower and slower.
Though this was Sunday, the work
of sanitation, fumigation, oiling and
screening went on just the same,
and will continue daily until the city
has been thoroughly screened and
made mosquito proof. The record
for today shows little change from
that of yesterday, except in the re-
duction of the number of deaths.
The number Of new foci is also again
a source of encouragement, showing
that the spread is becoming slower
and slower.

HEAVY LOSS SUSTAINED
Hardly A Doubt That the
Fire Was Started BY
An Incendiary.

burned at three o'clock Sunday
morning, with it's valuable contents
There were fourteen head of horses

The frantic struggles Of the ami
mails broke open one of the doors
from which six of the imprisoned
beasts escaped-more or less injured.
One died soon afterwards and two
others are so badly burned that they
are not expected to live.
The barn contained large guam
tity of hay and corn, 120 bushels OF
seed wheat and the entire gearing
outfit for the farm, all of which was
lost.
The building was one Of the finest
barns in the county, erected by the
late Frank Moore, at a cost when
new of $500. The entire loss OF

The fire was clearly the work Of an

AM ERICANS LOSING
TRADE IN FAR EAST
Carelessness in Filling Orders and
Failure to Follow UP Sales
Properly Responsible.

American trade relations with foreign
countries have had their first material
setback In the boycott instituted in
China against exports from this coun-
try. and, If warnings from United States
consular officers are to be needed, Amer
.ean merchants will do well to look inuo
their methods of doing business with a
view toward reconstruction.
Carelessness in filing orders from
foreign houses, failure to supply Gus
toners with proper instructions as to
goods sent. and other little indifferences
regarding such transactions, have tend
ed to impede business relations with the
