Sunheat Fires Grain.

Mike Nicholson, Ernest Axelsson
and the writer were discussing the
recent spell of hot weather last Fri
day.
This is the first lay off you've had
in twelve days, or since the hot spell
began we remarked. Eyes" said
Mike 1--WE rested a little yesterday
but the rain last evening gave us a
lay off sure enough.'
II believe it was the hottest spell
| ever experienced in Canton,' we re-
marked, but Mike knocked us out on
the first bif, when he recalled the
heat of 1901, when so many horses
died and SO many dreadful things
happened.
"Why,' said Mike, "the recent hot
spell was only a gentle April warmth
compared with the to;ridness of five
years ago. Something like two hun
dred horses died in this county from
the birthstone conditions that pre-
vailed, to say nothing of burnt grain
shocks.
Ernest remarked that his memory
was short on that period of volcanic
weather and turned to M ike for in
formation.
"nidn't you hear of my !oosing 3
shock of grain by fire caused by the
terrible heat of the sun? You
didn't, well | did, | saw it burn
and no one was near it. Perry Juel
lost a shock of grain from the same
cause the same day. 1t was the last
of August, and it seemed to me as if
the world was going to be dest "oyed
by fire. AS l watchg,d that grain
burn, began to think of my Sunday
school lessons. l walked out from
under the shade to pick up a monkey
wrench laying on a board and was
alarmed to see the wood smoke from
the excessive heat transmitted
through the hot iron. 1t was awful.
The late hot spell, about 100 de-
grees in the shade, was mild and
modest in comparison with five years
ago.
Mr.. Axelsson had passed through
some hot weather in his time, and
told of a tar and pitch roof on a
shack of his, burning once from sun
heat, and told of how the cottonwood
shingles on the old buildings at Elk
point twisted the nails loose and fell
to the ground, but he had never lost
any grain because he always built his
shocks to face north.
"Perhaps it may seensa little over
drawn,' said Ernest, 'when l tell
you that l once had gun discharged
by the sun heating the barrel so hot
that it set fire to the powder, and a
game warden hauled me up for shoot
ing at chickens out of season. l told
him the truth and he nearly died
laughing.
It's surprising how many funny
things one meets with in hot wealth
er," remarked Mike. 81 left tin
pail full of apples in the sun that hot
year and went after them in the even
ing, and what do you suppose l
found? Why, the apples were nicely
baked but laying on the ground as
the sun had melted the solder and
the tin had parted"
ask him about that shock of grain,"
said Mike as he and Ernest started
for the post Office.

First 1906 Corn.

Joseph Millett of Eden was well
come visitor Saturday, having just
returned from Lennox where he was
a guest of John Gerber. On his re-
turn to Canton he brought an ear of
yellow dent corn from the Gerber
farm which he presented the Leader.
1t is ripe and hard and this record Is
made on Saturday the 25th day of
August. The ear is not very large.
1t measures six and half inches in
length and rounds up with IA rows Of
kernels. We make this record es-
pecialy for the date, and if any one
can beat it please come around quick.

A Pleasant Surprise.

The Diligent Dozen met with Mrs.
o. A. Rudolph last Saturday and dill
gently set to work in doing good, and
among the resolutions acted upon in
advance was surprise for Mrs.
Hichborn who was invited to be the
guest of the Diligents. Refreshments
we're served and at the conclusion Of
this enjoyable part of the program,
Mrs. Clifford and several of the ladies
made appropriate remarks before pre-
senting Mrs. Hichborn with an ele-
CANT silver water pitcher, with the
names of the Diligents handsomely
engraved as follows:
Mesdames M. E. Rudolph, A. c..
Milliman, o. S. Clifford, S. B. Averill,
E. S. O'Neil, James Lewis, o. A.
Rudolph, J. M. Lewis, G. NJ. Seely, J.
F. Turner, F. P. Smith, G. E. Judd,
August 25, 1906.
Such an elegant silver pitcher need
ed a silver tray and this had been
provided by Misses Lucretia, Flor
ence and Alice Rudolph, and duly
engraved, and was presented by Mrs.
Clifford following the brief pitcher
ceremony.
1t was gracious act on the part of
the Diligents to so kindly remembe I
their friend and companion in SC
many social events, and the beautiful
gift of the Misses Rudolph was also
an act of loving friendship, and be-
tween the Diligents and the young
ladies Mrs Hichborn has special
reason to feel proud of the surprise
and her friends.

CANDLES True Friends.

The Vermillion Republican in dis
cussing some of the mid summer po-
litical nonsense with the Press and
Dakotan, hurls this stuffed club at
the head of the Crawfordites:
"All the same, we are still frmer
than ever in our faith that the truest
friends the Senator has In the state
at this hour are the old-line Cma-
chine if you so will it) Republicans.
We have always known that
Brother Wiley was able to entertain
a three ring circus crowd on ques-
tions of hocus pocus, but when he
tells modest, indulgent public that
the men who read Senator Gamble
out of the machine end Of the repub-
lican party, the men who cast MIN
into the sea- the men who betrayed
him like Judas for Martins 30 pieces
of silver, the men who like servile
tools were willing to play the Brutus
act, the men who Ike cringing slaves,
obeyed the masters whip, and these
men, says the Republican, are truer
friends of Senator Gamble than the
men who picked him up and carried
him to the forefront of the battle and
crowned him at Sioux Falls before a
victorious legion who crushed the
men that cast Gamble overheard.
The Vermillion Republican was
counted a friend Of Senator Gamble
before his betrayal by Kittredge,
Martin and "shot EN- full of holes"
Burke, but when the senator was
sinking in the machine sea 1t threw
him not a rope or word Of cheer, 1t
applauded the act and now comes out
as a better friend of Senator Gamble
than those who saved him.
1t is difficult to tell sometimes,
whether Wiley is seeking notoriety
as candidate for an asylum or try
ing to ride machine mule backward,
but when he makes such a statement
as above quoted. we are satisfied he
needs watching.
"Shot 'em full Of holes' Burke,
Martin and Kittredge, Crane and
Kennedy, Johnson and Mcleod,
Williams and Campbell, and sack
full of their yelpers being better
friends of Senator Gamble than those
who touched elbows with him in the
battle, makes Observation-Disclosures

of pleasure.

ground and dashed away at top speed,
yelling loudly. He did not stop until
he reached the Columbia river, six
miles distant and plunged into the
stream. He Tapped the water like a
dog and was wading the river when
his pursuers overlook him. He was
violently insane.

RAISE RATES ON
HOME TELEPHONES
COMPANY IGNORES TARIFF
FIXED BY LAW
Action by City Attorney Is Pending
and the Council May Be
Called Upon to Act
Monday

In the announcement yesterday by
the Home Telephone company that 20
per cent has been added to the rates to
be exacted for business connections
or $5.25 a month-city hall attaches
see prospects of litigation.
Manager E. l.. Swaine is quoted as
saying that the increased cost of main
tenance of the system necessitates a
higher tariff, but that the limit Of
charges has now been reached. When
the $4.25 rate was fixed the company
had only 5000 telephones; now there are
$4,000.
Rates on Sublie utilities are fixed by
ordinance in Los Angeles, and the
quasi-public companies operated under
a system by which they are compelled
to furnish regular reports of busi-
ness done to the city officials.
The Homo Telephone company has
never filed a detailed report of it's
business, defying the city powers The
position taken was that such reports
would injure the franchise under which
it operated.
City Attorney Mathews has taken
steps to force regular reports from the
company, but no decision has yet been
reached on this point.
At Mondays meeting of the council
some action will probably be taken on
the increase in telephone rates, and
then the issue will be sharply defined.

Things About Mrs. Mullins
of Mott Street

street yesterday appealed to the city
attorney for complaint
against Mrs. A. B. Mullins of 1144 Mott
street, a near neighbor, who she claims
makes a nuisance OF her.
self by LOUD and abusive language.
Mrs. Strain claims that her peace has
been constantly disturbed since she
moved to her present address last May,
and says that the trouble has been
largely occasioned by Mrs. Mullins
in disregarding the rights
of her neighbors.
Mrs. John Webber, who lives at the
rear of Mrs. Mullins house, the two
houses being separated by an alley,
saws she has been forced to construct
a seven-foot fence upon the edge OF
her back yard to prevent Mrs. Mullins
from throwing refuse upon her prem-
ises which she is said to be In tho
habit of doing impartially upon the
wards of all her neighbors for whom
She has cultivated dislike.
The complaint has not yet been is
sued against Mrs. Mullins, as the pros
ecuting attorney has not had chance

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In Pre-
serving Health and Beauty
Costs Nothing to Try

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disnfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptic in tablet form, or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with money.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from tho continued
use, but. on the contrary, great bene-
mt.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal, says; Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver Is greatly
benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet l be-
lieve l get more and better charcoal
In Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than In
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

PROMISING CAREER
ENDS IN DEATH
BRIGHT YOUNG MAN A VICTIM
OF DISEASE
Though Blind, Through Ardent AppIi-
cation to Study, He Made a
Name for Himself as
Writer

The death of Eugene p. Conway, son
of Mrs. Mary r. Conway Of this city,
which occurred about 3 o'clock at the
family residence, 1922 South Main
street, yesterday morning, occasioned
unalloyed grief among numerous
friends Of young man who had given
every evidence of a brilliant career.
Mr.. Conways death came after sew
eral years Of suffering from acute kid
ney trouble, though at times he was
able to follow along lines which had
been mapped out during his college
days at st. Vincents, Of which institu-
ton he was a graduate. Final illness
began Tuesday night when the young
man was forced into desperate strug-
gle for life.
AS student at ST. Vincents college
Mr. Conway distinguished himself by
literary genius which shone through
out his years of scholastic life Unable
to participate in field sports young Con-
way entered upon their promotion with
a zeal which bad much to do with st.
Vincent's position in the athletic world.
AS manager of the first baseball team
which brought intercollegiate cham
pionship honors to ST. Vincent's, Mr..
Conway endeared himself to his fellows
by reason of the kindly energy which
marked his zeal on the campus as well
as in the class room.
Was a Brilliant Writer
Gifted mentally to an unusual de-
gree, the young man shortly before his
graduation won the Father Meyer gold
medal in the Christian Doctrine con-
test and Immediately after receiving
his diploma decided to enter the Cath
olic priesthood. AS ain ardent student
at st. Patrick's seminary, Menlo Park,
Mr.. Conway paid the penalty of his
zeal by the loss of his eyesight.
Nothing daunted he returned home
with a cheerfulness that caused pity
to merge into keener admiration. I'm
able to endure idleness, his active brain
turned to the pen, and securing special
assignments upon a local newspaper,
he developed talents which BODIED bril-
liant things to come.
Sorrowing with the mother are two
sisters, Mary V. and Margaret K. Con-
way, and a brother, Thomas r. Con-
way.
The deceased was "a years old.
Funeral services will be held from
the cathedral with requiem mass at
10 o'clock, Monday, interment taking
place at New Calvary cemetery.
