This will be by far, the most i'm

will continue to be a furious storm
till September or 6, when it will be
out on the North Atlantic steamship
route to Europe. advise against all
excursions and other unnecessary
risks during dates mentioned.
The cold wave following this storm
will carry frosts unusually far south
for the season, and will probably do
some damage to late corn in Northern
states.
Second disturbance of September

west Of Rockies country by close of

states 3. Warm wave will cross west
of Rockies about 3, great central val
leys 5. Eastern states7. Cool wave
will cross west of Rockies about 6,
great central valleys 3, Eastern states

This will cause furious storms on
the Pacific slope, particularly in
Northern California, Oregon and
Washington. Bad time to be on the
waters on our western coasts. About
September / and 2 I expect danger

cific steamship route. The cool wave

STANDARD OIL INDICTMENTS.

The two federal grand juries of
Chicago, which have been investi-
eating the matter of rebates given the
Standard Oil company by the several
lines of railroads, have returned ten
indictments against the company which
include six thousand four hundred and
twenty-eight counts, and upon which
if the minimum fine is imposed, will
amount in the total to nearly six and
half million dollars.
The specific charges are that the
Standard Oil company on at least two
lines which had published rates of eigh-
teen and nineteen and half cents,
paid but six and seven and a half
cents respectively, while its COM
petitors paid the published rate.
1t is evident that the railroads were
not doing business even for the Stand
ard Oil company at loss. and that if
sASs CouIu carry tue Oll lot II at the
rates indicated they could do 1t also
for the other companies engaged in
producing oil which was shipped over
the same lines. A reduction of twelve
cents per hundred on the freight would
reduce the price TO the consumer en-
actly the same. 1t is admitted that the
transportation charges constitute a
large portion of the cost of oil, and
when there is a clear hold up of two
thirds OF the freight rate it can be
readily seen that the cost to the con-
sumer is very much enhanced.
If the indictments prove the means
Of preventing the additional cost
which has marked the acceptance of
rebates by the Standard Oil company
the public will be the gamers by mill
ions of dollars.

A Disappointed Man.

Governor Pardee of California was
talking about a fire insurance agent
who had disappointed him.
This man." said DR.. Pardee, "had
spoken SO generously at first about
the payment of all claims in full that
my disappointment at his later ex-
preston was incredibly great.
Il was as disappointed as a man
who had just returned from months
vacation. This man got out of the
train with his bags and valises, and
with expanded chest trudged home
ward through the hot city, pleasantly
conscious that he looked as brown as
berry, as hard as nails-in the pink
of condition after his long month in
the sun and wind.
Suddenly he met friend. This
friend shook him by the hand, peered
hard in his face and said anxiously:
Hello! Going out of town for a
few days. l suppose from your lug
gage? Well, I'm glad to see it, for,
by George. you need change. You
certainly do look tuckered out"

THE NEW BARNrN.

The greatest circus manager OF the
last two or three decades held firmly
and profitably to the opinion that the
American people loved to be hum.
bugged." Phineas T. Barnum is dead.
but William Jennings Bryan lives.
Mr.. Bryan's New York speech is in
teresting all the way through as
specimen of rhetoric; yet it contains
only single thought that can have
any serious bearing upon national
politics His declaration in favor of
government ownership of railroads IS
important. Here We have an issue
about which men can have an honest
difference of opinion.
Until Mr.. Bryan boldly proclaimed
his belief in government ownership
the democratic party, whose leader he
was, had no issue. 1t now remains
to be seen whether the party will
follow him blindly into this strange
new field of national policy.
1t is serious problem for the demo-
cracy and more serious for the coun-
try at large. Thoughtful men will
hesitate to give their adherence to
this newest Bryanism without the full
est consideration and study.
1t is not thing that should be
accepted offhand. True it has its at
tractive features. Especially will it
appeal to the superficial mind, as did
the campaign slogans free trade" and
free silver" although in comparison
with these it is somewhat lacking in
Mr.. Bryan shows great political tact
and caution in giving the dose sugar.
coating by favoring state ownership
OF local lines. BY this differentiation
he will retain his old-lime title to
excellence in the speculative realm of
buffonery. BY the same token he fur
nishes powerful anesthetic for those
of his former followers who cling ten
aciously to the doctrine of states
rights.
The paramount Nebraskan earned
distinction for uniqueness in two for
mer campaigns. His New York speech
will lose him nothing on this score.

AT DEVILS LAKE.
Something Of the Imprevenests Being
Made by the G. n.
specisl to The Evening Times.

IuOVO W sssO We Ave
Special to The Evening Times.
Devils Lake. N. D., Sept, 1.-The
new Great Northern depot to cost
100000, is nearly finished and will be
as fine as any in the state. 1t has
been described in these columns be-
fore and it is unnecessary to say more
at this time. 1t will be ready for &C.
cupancy within the next few weeks.
and 1t is expected that trains on the
Aneta line will reach here within a
month or SO. 1t is said that the
bridges, grading, trestle work, etc..
being done between here and Aneta IL
the finest In the state, proving that the
Great Northern expects to run Ito
fastest trains this way. The bridge
across the lake Is now practically
finished and the work of grading the
road bed unfinished between here and
the lake will take but q short time,
when the iron will be laid. Trains
would now be running into the city
were it not for the fact that 1t has
been impossible for the company to
obtain material for bridges, etc.
At the shops and roundhouse 10
where one will meet with the greatest
surprise and one wonders what all
the buildings are to be used for. The
25-stall round house is practically
completed and work on the large turn
table is we'll under way. The ONCE
building, a model in neatness is fin.
ished on the outside as is also the
large storehouse. The machine shop
is we'll under way and is about 100
feet square, Work is started on the
boiler works and will in few days
commence on the car shops. which
will be the largest building of all.
These buildings are all of brick and
built in the most substantial manner.
The large hill that was near these
buildings is now practically thing
of the past and where 1t stood, in a
few months will be in its place the
finest and most complete railroad
shops on the Great Northern system
between st. Paul and the Pacific
coast.
At the opposite side of the track
from the shops the immense yards
are being built, and the grading is
nearly finished. For this the sand
and earth are being hauled from about
mile farther west, hills near the
shops being used for grading on that
side Of the tracks around the shops.
When these improvements are COM
pleted. the Great Northern will have
spent over one million dollars for
them in and about the city. This in
cludes the water system being INSTALL
ed between here and Sweetwater
lakes, which, when finished, will give
the company the finest supply Of wa
ter at any place along its line. It is
presumed that ice for the entire sys-
TEN will be cut and shipped from this
lake hereafter.
Next spring brick freight depot
400 feet long will be erected by the
Great Northern near where the pres
emit frame one stands. This will be
one Of the largest and finest along the
system.

Anusen1ents
The Great McEwen.

The management of the Metropolitan
announces the engagement of the
Great McEwen for three days, begin
ming Monday. This man has been
rightly named. THE Wizard of the
West" He is carrying this season a
grand display of magic, introducing
some tricks never before seen in this
country and brought direct from the
great masters Of India. the best pro-
ducers of the entire world.
One feature in particular, lady
is raised from a casket to about seven
feet from the stage and is kept float
ing in the air for several minutes
when she gradually sinks back into
her position in the casket again.
In hypnotism, while his exhibitions
are more or less humorous, they are
highly interesting from scientific
point of view.
Everyone comes away from the
Great McEwen's entertainments sat
isfied and refreshed as their laughter
was genuine and caused only by ex-
periments that were chaste and refined
giving pleasure without any disturbing
after thoughts.

The Maid and the Mummy.

One of the biggest song hits in 1.-THE
Maid and the Mummy" is Peculiar
Julia" Both the words and the music
for this ditty were written by Richard
Garlic. The song is sung by Fred War
rem, with the assistance of twenty
of the prettiest girls in the chorus in
The Maid and the Mummy"
The words illustrate the peculiar
methods Of rhyming used by Mr..
earle, who appears to be able to make
a rhyme for almost any old word. The
first stanza and the chorus for the
Julia" song follows:
In the town Of Tuscora.
Lived q maiden who was known as
Ev'ry fellow in the neighborhood
Would give his life to own Miss Julia,
But she was ev'ry bit as stubborn as
an army mule,
And to them she gave the icy eye,
Until one fatal day
A stranger came her way
Who swore he'd win her out or die.
Chorus.
Julia, you're peculiar.
Julia. you are queer.
Truly, You're unruly,
As a wild western steer.
Julia. when we're married,
Sweetheart, you and l.
Julia, yer little mule yer,
I'm going to rule yer. or die.

worst Of modern newspapers asked
him for "a bright, terse interview

follows: Hell. in my opinion, is the
place where the Sunday edition of
your paper should be published and
