Dancers of Orchid Hunting

The most beautiful region the orcnld
collector meets in his travels is along
the Orinoco, the Rio Negro and the
Amazon in South America. The scenery
at times passes beyond the beautiful,
and becomes so grand as to be almost
terrible Everything is on such a
great scale. The rivers are the largest
in the world, veritable seas at high
water, the vegetation luXuriant beyond
comparison and the animal and fish
are startingly strange. There we find
the Cattleya schroederae, a magnificent
orchid with white flowers, which
Blooms about Easter time. But the
dangers and vexations of a trip on the
Orinoco, for instance, would hardly be
believed. Miles and miles back from
the coast in the district where the or
chids are found the Indians are in a
wild state, and are foes to all white
men. They lurk in the bushes along
the banks of the river and shoot pois-
oned arrows at you If you happen TO
venture within range of their blow
guns. The center of the stream is the
only safe place. During the rainy sea-
son the mosquitoes swarm on the ORR
noco in clouds, and sleep is next to i'm
possible Even the grass when you
venture ashore is your enemy.-Harp-

TOBACCO CAMPAIGN
Trust Fighters Are Org aniz-
ing in Kentucky.

Eddyville, KY, Aug. pa large
mass meeting of tobacco planters
was held here yesterday. Speeches
were made by ex-Congressman Will
liam Stone, of Kuttawa, and Hon.
w. A. Bradley and John E. Garner,
of Robertson county, Tenn. Capt.
Stone made one of the strongest and
best arguments for the Association
heard in many days.
Mr.. Garner, who is we'll known
Throughout the western district, ex-
planned the object and purpose of
the association at great length. His
speech was we'll received and many
times he was interrupted by ap-
plause. The meeting did much to
strengthen the association in the
western district and mass-meeting
has been called for August %, when
this county will perfect its perman-
ent organization and join the associ-
alton.
Hon. Denny P. Smith, of Cadiz,
KY, Commonwealth Attorney for
this district, volunteered his services
to the campaigners who are here
from Tennessee.
The fight here is red hot and the
trust is sending buyers out bidding
long prices for tobacco in the patch.
This is considered a strong card for
the farmers, inasmuch as they for
merly had to run after the buyers to
sell after the crop was cured.
Messrs. Bradley and Garner left
for Galloway county, where the fight
is now being waged.

SEPTEMBER STORMS
Will Likely be Followed by
Killing Frosts.

On and touching Friday, Septem-
Der !, rain, wind and thunder, with
equinoctial tempests in the South
coast are probably, according to Rev.
Hicks. The disturbances will likely
be prolonged up to the 5th. Clear
ing, cooler weather will prevail du-
ring the 9th and 18th. Storms of
wind, rain and thunder will visit
most localities from the 9th to the
18th. The 18th to 18th are also re-
dictionary storm days and decided
storm conditions may be expected to
continue over these dates. One Of
the most probable earthquake peri
DDS of the month will be central on
the 18th, extending twenty-four to
thirty-six hours before and after
day. Following the general and Sc
we're storms about this time, look for
a marked change to high barometer
and much cooler weather, with frost
in many localities, especially north
ward, between the 18th and 10Th.
The next regular storm period is
central on the 21st-the central day
of the Earth's autumnal equinox al
so. Look for rising temperature,
threatening storm clouds, with rain,
wind and thunder. Another high
barometer and change to decidedly
cooler will come in from the north
west close behind hese storms. The
9th, 18th and 29th are reactionary
storm days and many wide-sweeping
and violent storms will visit various
parts of the country. This period is
also one of maximum earthquake
probability. Seismic disturbances
and volcanic activity will be natural
concomitants of all these phenomena.
Look for a decided. rushing high
barometer to follow, with change to
very cool weather and frost all over
central and northern sections.

CUBA PROSPEROUS.
Good Showing For the Little
Republic.

Washington, Aug 20. The pros
perity Of Cuba is such that even the
most optimistic are surprised at the
results which are shown by the latest
statistics There is no section Of the
country that has not received a great
impetus, commercially or industri-
ally, and the influx Of tourists and
investors during the past year has
been such that there were not suf-
ficient hotel accommodations for
them, and new and modern hotels
will be built for the coming winter.
The greatest proof of the develop
ment of Cuba during the administra-
ton of President Palma can be found
in the study of the last figures of
the official report of the Cuban
Treasury, showing the results of the
conservative, wise and progressive
government which has ruled the
island during the last three years.
The total receipts for the year
were SCI, ISL. O95.72, plus $7,O99,-
584.S6 balance Of the previous year,
giving a grand total of S6S, 1884, TAI
SO, and if $44, 564, 4O7.43, the years
be deducted, balance
remains of 1924, $50, 3O7.2O, the
amount in the Cuban. Treasury on
July last, which, after suffering
some deductions for outstanding
debts left about $22, 900, 900 surplus.
Part Of this will be devoted to
public works and part to serve as
basis for the money to be applied to
settle the balance due to the army.
