WEATHER FORECASTS
FOR month OF JUNE
Severe Electrical and Rain Storms
VIII Prevail at Intervals.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th are central re-
dictionary storm dates, with conjunction
of moon with sun and earth on the 3rd.
By the Bird storm conditions will be
well organized in western sections, the
barometer will fall to storm readings
the temperature will be high and ris-
ing, with cloudiness increasing to pre-
cipitation. From the 3rd to 9Th, in
elusive, these conditions will pass pro-
gressively over the country from west
to east, causing rains and thunder
storms generally in their passage. The
mercury perturbation is central on the
Bird, extending over this reactionary
period and covering the next storm
period following. This mercury dis
turbance will tend to prolong cloudy,
threatening positions between the two
periods. Mars period begins about the
time of new moon, on the Bird, which
additional influence will help to obliter-
ate the interim Of fair weather between
these periods
The storm period extending from the
7th to the 18th, promises TO bring some
Of the most general and severe disturb
ances of the month. At this time the
moon will pass first quarter on the
celestial equator. while mercury, earth
at the summer solstice crisis, and the
mars equinox, will all add their dis
turbing powers TO the regular Vulcan
period. Ordinarily this would be a
period Of marked and dangerous dis
turbances, but the entrance Of the
Mars influence makes the results prob
lematical.
From about the 10th 10 the 18th OF
June is an annual period of maximum
electrical and magnetic excitement,

disturbances, great thunder storms and

from about the 9th to the 18th Of III,
present month. Great warmth. at

barometer, will be warnings Of prob
able danger that none can afford 10 de
pise or neglect The blending Of IN
Mars influence with the June solstic
period indicates that thunder shower
may transpire during the afternoon
and evenings, up to and through th
reactionary storm period covering III
llth TO the 18th.
This is time when haymakers wi

crops. Grasses and grains that wi

SLIGHTLY NOTICED YET
An IMPORTANT Event
Was the Passage by Congress Of the
Reclamation Law.

One of the events of President Roose-
velt's administration about which little
has been said, but will be referred TO
in history as an important event, was
the act of congress setting aside the
proceeds from the disposal of public
lands in thirteen western states and
three territories for the construction Of
irrigation works. The.bill was signed
by the president on June II. 1902. The
object of the reclamation law is 10 put
the public domain into the hands Of
small land owners, men who live upon
the land and make their homes there.
The money for this fund is from the
disposal Of public lands. II is returned
again to the fund by repayment from
the persons benefited. For many years
Word and Works has advocated the
building Of dams along water courses
in the arid regions Of the West for the
conserving Of the water that falls freely
at times.
This is exactly what is being done
with this reclamation fund. The Geo

and threatening storms. We have Of
ten called attention to the facts that
storms come up from unusual quarters
of the heavens, and move in odd and
erratic directions and manners, at the
crisis or turning period of the June
solstice. Thunder clouds and squalls at
this time have surprising way Of
doubling back and slipping up from
easterly directions, striking the unwary
on the "blind side" and coming in at
the back door generally. We have sew
eral times explained these peculiar
phenomena, showing that they grow
out of the fact that the earth is at her
turning point, the sun is at his highest
declination north, and all the forces of
earth and air are about to break into a
new order and move along new lines.
We are planning to discuss all such
questions more fully than ever when
we get into our enlarged Magazine.
The moon being on the celestial
equator on the oath and in apogee on
the 25th, in every probability thunder
storms, June showers and great cleo
trical unrest will continue into the re-
dictionary storm period, central on the
26th, 9th and 2Sth. 1t will be very
natural, but not as a rule dangerous,
for electrical clouds to flash and blaze
all through the nights at this part OF
the June solstice.
Ii is proper that we repeat what we
have often said, that there is the great
est danger in taking shelter under
green trees during these June thunder
storms. We repeat, also, the warning
Of danger to live stock from lightning
in crowded barns and sheds and from
exposure TO wire fences. Every season
We hear Of much stock being killed by
lightning, in consequence of flocks anC
herds budding under tress and agains'
wire fences in thunder storms. Thes,
suggestions may seem unimportant Il
some, but correct statistics of loss an,
death by lightning. especially in tn,
month Of June, would put a diferen
meaning into the proposition.
If heavy rains and storms occur a
the beginning of the Mars period, sa,
from the 10th to the 18th, the sam
may be expected 10 continue at tn
reactionary period, 26th to 2sth, and a

peratures lead into the opening Of tn

FEVER BEING CONTROLLED
NO LONGER ANY DANGER OF A
SERIOUS EPIDEMIC AT
NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, Aug. 21.-Summing
up results of the campaign to date
DR.. Beverly Warren says that it is
the opinion OF the health authorities
that while the fever can not be said
TO be under control it is being con-
trOlled and that the chances are that
there is no longer danger of a seri-
GUS epidemic. DR.. Warner added that
1t was DR.. Whites opinion that if it
had not been for the splendid volun-
teer work which had been done by
the citizens in screening and oiling
and in taking other precautions rec
commended by the local health authori-
ties New Orleans today would prob
ably be in the throes Of an epidemic
as devastating as were some of those
OF previous years. With conditions as
they are today the feeling among all
those officially in charge of the fight
is one of high hope.
The death percentage continues to
decrease. The large number of new
cases testifies to the zeal with which
the physicians are making report Of
cases within their practices. They
turned in thirty-tWo of the sixty two
in the preceding twenty-four hours.
Each day shows large number of
patients DISCHARGED.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR NEW TREATY
WILL CEASE UNLESS BOY
coTT is STOPPED.
PEKIAG OFFICIALS PLEAD INABILITY
DECLARE 1T is IMPOSSIBLE TO
CHECK THE ANTI-AMER-
lcAN MOVEMENT.

Peking, Aug. 21-It is learned here
on good authority that the American
government ha9notifed China that all
negotiations for a new convention to
discuss the Chinese exclusion act will
be discontinued until the anti-Amer-
lean boycott is stopped and has also
given notice that China will be held
responsible for any loss sustained by
reason of the boycott.
The Chinese authorities state that
they will take energetic steps to stop
everything Of an illegal or disorderly
character, but that they cannot stop
the boycott.
Washington, Aug. 21.-No informa.
tion could be obtained at the state de-
partment concerning the treaty nego-
tiations alluded to in the above dis
patch. The matter of holding China
responsible for losses sustained by
American citizens, it is presumed, re-
fers to instructions sent to Minister
Rockhill directing him to inform the
Chinese government that the United
States would insist on the fulfllment
of treaty stipulations.
The Chinese minister showed great
interest in the dispatch, but would
make no comment upon it.

OPERATORS STRIKE ENDED
MEN OUT ON GREAT NORTHERN
AND NORTHERN PACIFIC DE-
eide TO RESUME WORK.

s.. n --
st. Paul, Aug. 21.-President Per
ham of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers has called off the strike on
the Northern Pacific road He said
that the vote of the men on the ques-
tion was close, but he had decided to
call off the strike.
This action follows a similar course
taken by President Perham in regard
to the trouble on the Great Northern,
the formal notice to this effect being
contained in the following message
directed by President Perham to Gen.
eral Superintendent Slade:
'This is to advise you that the
strike of the station agents and teleg
raphers on the Great Northern rail
way has been declared off and our
membership is now at liberty to re.
turn to work if it desires. So far as
the organization and committee are
concerned the strike is closed Incl
dent" IL
Ninety-seven per cent of the oper
ators employed by the Great North.
ern are members of the telegraphers
organization and of this membership
e5 per cent voted to return to work.
On both roads the operators will re
turn to work under the schedules last
offered to them and which were re
fused by President Perham and his
strike committee.

JAPS READY FOR BATTLE
WEATHER CONDITIONS IN NAM.
CHuRIA RESULT IN AN EF-
FECTUAL ARMISTlCE.

Peking, Aug. 21.--While the Japa-
nese and Russian peace plenipoten-
tiaries have failed to arrange an
armistice during their negotiations the
weather is enforcing an effectual ar
mistice for the month of August. OPP
erations on a large scale by each
army are impossible at the present
time and the situation will probably
be unchanged for the next fortnight or
three weeks.
The rains throughout Manchuria
have been unusually heavy and pro-
longed this summer. The country is
now a swamp and the roads are SO
soft that attempts to move artillery
and heavy transports would be out Of
the question. There were many heavy
rains in June and July and the rainy
season began in earnest about the
middle of July. During the following
three weeks there was a downpour al
most daily. The valleys east of the
railway particularly are inundated and
the streams are swollen, making the
movements Of carts and horses very
slow and difficult. The Japanese army
had fully prepared for a general adj
vance before the rain began and prob
ably will give battle quickly with its
whole strength as soon as the country
is sufficiently dry, in the event that
the peace negotiations fail
The army is in better condition
than ever before for work. The health
of the troops throughout the summer
has been kept at high standard and
the percentage Of sickness has been
far below that Of the same period last
year.

INSTITUTION is CLOSED.
Receiver Appointed for the Denver
Savings Bank.

Denver, Aug. 21-Judge John I.
Mullins, in the district court, has ap-
pointed Guy Leroy Stevick receiver
for the Denver Savings bank and the
bank was closed.
Depositors Of savings who had been
permitted to draw only 10 per cent of
their funds since Aug. s, when a run
on the bank began, petitioned the
court to take charge Of the institution
and the officers in charge consented
to have a receiver appointed. The
bank had more than 5000 depositors,
whose savings deposits aggregated
$1,4O0,OO0. In the petition for a re-
celyership it is charged that more
than 100000 had been loaned to
Leonard b. Imboden and associates
op securities OF doubtful value. The
officers Of the bank filed an answer to
the petition denying that rhI loans
complained of were made on fictitious
securities. The Bank of North Amer
lea of New York holds 400 shares, a
majority of the banks stock, as Sc
curity for a loan of $4,000. These
shares stand on the banks books in
the name off, G. B. Whitley, but in
reality, it is said, were controlled by
lmboden. Mr. Whitley has stated that
he never purchased or had any legal
title to this stock. J. A. Hill, presi-
dent of the bank, who is said to have
represented the Imboden interests. is
absent in the East.

PRESIDENT MAKING DESPERATE
EFFORT TO PREVENT BREAK
IN PEACE CONFERENCE.
PLEADS FOR SPIRIT OF CONCESSION
APPEALS DIRECTLY TO ST. Pc
TERSBURG AND TOXIC IN EN-.
1. DEAVOR TO END WAR.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt $as stepped into the
breach and is makiNg last desperate
effort to save the peace conference
from shipwreck. Just what the preSf-
dent is doing has not transpired, but
it is regarded as certain that he has
appealed both to Toxic and st. Peters
burg to induce the warning countries
to show a spirit of concession and not
allow the conference to go onto the
rocks next Tuesday. Mr.. Griscom
and Mr.. Meyer may have been in
structed to make direct appeals to
the emperors Of the two countries. If
the cooperation of France and Eng
land, the allies of the respective bel
igerents, is secured something may
be accomplished. In the last resort
the main obstacle to success of the
peace negotiations is certain to prove
to be the question of indemnity. Rus
sia will not pay 'a copeck of tribute" "
in the language of M. Witte. That is
believed to be RuSsia's last word on
that question. The question of the
cession of Sakhalin may be arranged.
But unless Japan relinquishes her
claim for the cost of the war" hope
is gone. 1t is at Toxic, consequently,
that the issue will probably be de-
cided. France, it is certain, will sup
port the presidents effort. If Eng
land will now bring pressure to bear,
as it is definitely stated she is now
prepared to do, the situation may be
saved.
AS an indication of intervention by
President Roosevelt came the depar-
ture early in the day of Baron Rosen
the Russian ambassador, for Oyster
Bay. He went by direct invitation of
the president, communicated to him
by Assistant Secretary Peirce.

CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS BEGUN.
Several Railroads Charged With Vio-
Iating Injunction.

Kansas City, Aug. 21.-Contempt
proceedings charging violation of the
order of District Judge John F. Phil
lips, issued in March, 1902, restraining
the defendants from giving rebates in
violation OF the interstate commerce
law, were filed here during the day
in the United States district court
against the Chicago and Alton, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the
Missouri Pacific, the Chicago, Rock
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad com
panies. These companies are charged
with giving rebates in violation of
the restraining order and the court is
asked to cite them for contempt.
The contempt proceedings allege
specifically in the case of the Chicago
and Alton that that company granted
rebates amounting to many thousands
of dollars on shipments of agricul-
tural and farming machinery to the
International Harvester company,
(which owns and controls the Deering
Harvester company, the Mccormick
Harvester company, the Plano Har-
vester company, the South Chicago
Furnace company and the Illinois
Northern Railroad company"
The proceedings against the other
roads do not vary greatly from those
against the Alton.

Taggart Divorce Case.
Wooster, O., Aug. 21.-Judge Eason
has rendered his decision in regard to
The motion filed to rule out the charges
against the principal men named as
correspondents in the Taggart divorce
case. Judge Eason stated that he
would dismiss the charges against
Captain Rither and against Clinton
Spencer of Chicago, but that he
would not dismiss, the charges against
General Miner, Lieutenant Fortescue,
Captain Bash and William Taggart, a
brother Of Captain Taggart. In re-
gard to the letters Judge Eason stated
that if half of the charges against
Miner imprisoning Taggart were not
disproved Major Taggart would have
been justified in writing almost any
kind of letter to get out of prison.
He went at length into the other
charges and severely scored Miner,
Fortescue, Bash and William Taggart,
stating that the evidence SO far pro-
duceds must be disproved or it would
be held against them.

idents of Saratoga.
] Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. s21.-Two loud
explosions in quick succession In diff
ferent sections of Saratoga startled
visitors during the evening and set
afoot stories about dynamite plots.
While very little actual damage was
done there can be no doubt that some
violent explosive was used. The ques-
tion is whether it was the work of a
practical joker or of some person in
tending mischief who failed to carry
out his plans.
The first explosion occurred in a
narrow alleyWay between the United
States club, conducted by Joseph Ull-
man, in WoodlaWn avenue and adjoin-
ing garage.
The second explosion occurred about
half an hour later at point in Cir
cular street directly above the grounds
of Richard Canfeld's Saratoga club
house. In both instances the noise
was great and those in the neighbor-
hood were of the opinion that bombs
were used

HE SO DESIRES AND ORDER
NEW ELECTIONS.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-The text
Of the document constituting a Rus
sian parliament discloses many points
of special interest to foreigners en-
joying constitutional government. Safe
guards for the maintenance of the
autocratic power of the emperor crop
out continually in the course of the
lengthy document. Although the mem
bers are to be elected for a five-year
term paragraph provides that the
douma ''can be dissolved by the en-
peror before the expiration of the
term of five years and new elections
ordered by imperial ukase." Para
graph 4 sets forth that the length Of
the sessions of the douma and it's ad-
journments during the year shall be
determined by the emperor. Para
graph 10 provides that the president
of the douma shall report to the en-
peror. Other paragraphs provide that
met ministers and the douma in re-
gard to bills the emperor shall have
the final word as to the disposition
thereof. The oath to be taken by the
members is as follows:
We promise to perform our duties
to the best of our knowledge and
ability, in all loyalty to his majesty
and mindful only of the welfare Of
Russia.
Public Barred From Sessions.
Paragraph Al debars the public from
admission to either the general or
sectional discussions, but gives the
president of the douma the right to
admit representatives of the press to
the open sessions. Another clause
provides for the preparation by sworn
stenographers of reports of all sit
tings of the general session of the
douma, with the exception of the ex-
ecutive sessions. These reports may
be made public with the approval of
the president of the douma
The electoral scheme debars gov
ernors, vice governors, police projects
and, their subordinates from the vot-
ing places in the districts where they
exercise their functions. The elec-
tions will be held under the general
supervision of the minister of the in
terror, governors and police projects,
while each electoral ward in the prin-
cipal cities will have an electoral COM
mission consisting of a president and
two members chosen by the mayor
from among the possessors of the
franchise. Civil functionaries may
not be elected to the douma unless
they resign their posts, nor may any
one be elected who is not acquainted
with the Russian language.
