Desert Sign Posts.

California and Nevada are awaking to the necessity of putting up sign posts in the deserts. Arizona has had law requiring the boards of supervis. ors to place sign posts at every cross. road directing the traveller to water and giving the distance, together with the distance to the next town. Sign posts on the desert may save lives, es- pecially if we'll placed. Only few days ago three men perished on the desert in the Furnace Creek country, Nevada, after travelling many miles Had sign posts been established in that section the chances are that they would have run across one and been saved from an awful death. Let sign posts be set all over the desert where ever danger to the trsveller exists.

crop moving requirements, and eondl-
dence on all hands Of a large and pros
pective profitable fall and winter trade.
Dry goods of all kinds are In active
sale, with buyers eager to secure sup
plies and slow deliveries complained
Of Shoes, millinery, hats, clothing and
hardware are relatively active and gro
ceries show improvement at most mar
kets.
In all eastern markets features are
the strength of cotton goods, the Gag
erness of the buyers of the goods to OBJ
tain supplies even at present advanced
prices, and the strength OF raw wool,
hides and leather. For the first half
of August gross receipts of leading
roads show gain of 6 per cent over
the same period of 1904.
In finished products rails and struc-
tural material show marked activity.
Predictions of very active fall In all
kinds of steel are supported by strong
prices for billets, bars, sheets and In
fact nearly all kinds Of material.

the week ending August "a. were 1,17o,-
$40 bushels. against l,0S4,333 this week

RUSSIAN GRAIN TRADE KILLED.
Military Takes All Cars and Black
Sea Exports Stop.

odessa, Aug. 26.-The export trade
in grain from Black Sea ports is par
alyzed by lack Of railway facilities
the government having retained all the
rolling stock for military contingencies
either the return Of the troops in event
of peace or the. forwarding of re-
endorsements should the war continue
Many thousands of carloads of grain
have accumulated along the southern
lines, and all the warehouses are over
flowing with grain awaiting transport
to the sea. Exporters will sustain
heavy losses owing to their inability t.
fulfill engagements.

OVERCOME BY HEAT

(By Publishers Press.)

LENoX, Mass, July 1s.-while on
her way to New York yesterday, Mrs.
George Westinghouse, of Lenox and
New York, was overcome by the heat
and forced to return here to recuper-
ate. Mrs. W%estinghorse had intended
sailing for Europe on Saturday with
her husband. She left here for New
York to meet her husband, but was so
overcome by the heat that ahe became
partially unconscious and 1t was nee
essary to take her from the train at
Merwinsville. Conn.
Every effort was made to revive
her, and last evening she was able to
return to Lenox. This morning she
was resting comfortably, but her ply
clan thinks it wise for her to remain
here for some time at least. She has.
therefore, cancelled her European
trip and will stay in Lenox until the
middle of August, when she will go
to Bar Harbor for several weeks.

CAPITAL GOSSIP.
Doing Away With Speeches on the
Formal Presentation Of Am
bassadors.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20
There has been some comment on the
fact that when President Roosevelt
received the new Russian ambassa.
dor. Baron Won Rosen, at Oyster Bay,
a day or two ago.. both the President
and the Ambassador omitted the us.
ual formal addresses which are gen.
orally the principal feature of e pre-.
sentation. 1t Is believed that in abar
doning these speeches Mr.. Roosevelt
Is trying to introduce a very sensible
reform. Nothing is quite SO useless
as the set speeches which the repre-.
sentative OF a foreign country makes
to the President on his presentation
and the Presidents reply thereto. As
a matter of fact, a new diplomat on
reaching Washington and presenting
his papers to the Secretary OF State
leaves with the Secretary an Eng
lish translation OF the remarks he
will make when presented. In a day
or W later, when the Secretary has
arranged with the President the date
for the presentation, the diplomat gets
a very full outline of what the Presl-
dent will say in reply. This outline
Is cabled by the diplomat to his for.
eign office. Accordingly, the entire
ceremony OF presentation is a little
play that borders closely on being e
farce. Never did the absurdity OF
these presentation speeches come u
more prominently than when the first
Spanish Minister came to Washing.
ton after the Spanish war and was
presented to President Mckinley.
Both the Minister and the President
In their addresses dwelt on the long
and ancient friendship that had al
ways existed between the two coun-
tries" and this when the prisoners
taken at Santiago and the trooI.s that
were returned from Havana had
