It Wil Not Be So HOt.

II VIII NOL Dc OO nut
IT is not going to be quite so hot.
The promised showers began about
10 o'clock this morning. The first ef-
fort was a rather feeble one, resem-
bling in its effects the work OF the
street sprinkliug department on an es-
peciaIIy warm day. The rain laid
thin iaver OF moisture on the hot as
phaIt. which the sun promptly pro-
ceeded 20 evaporate. but even this
casual and fieeting visitor from the
clouds brought the mercury at the
Weather Bureau down from 79 to II
degrees. To show that II was not dis
couFaged, however. the temperature
jumped I'VE degrees in the next hour.
The whole city. though. showed the
cheering effects OF the lowered tempera-
uIre. Business IS being done at a brisker
rate and the streets are filled with peo-
PIE who for the past three days have
been clinging TO the interior OF their
homes. Nobody has stirred abroad OF
late who was not compelled 10 do so.
Today the policemen walked their beats
with a more martial air. and the weary
postmen looked almost cheerful and
comfortable.
on the streets downtown the cumuia-
tive effect OF the intense heat Of the
past three days made itself felt, despite
the Improvement in the general condl-
tiOns The concrete had absorbed the
heat and gave il out slowly ana steadily.
But tho relief was very great even N
the business streets. and the virtual
prOstraion Of all energies which had
been q prominent feature OF Washing
tons somewhat doubtful distinction as
the hottest City IN the country, was sue
eceded by vigor and determination in the
doing OF the days work.
One cOlored man, Thomas Moore, was
found dead this morning in the weeds
by the side of the canal, near South
Capitol street southwest, and il IS as
sumed that the heat had something TO
do with his death. He was seventy years
old, however. and had been quite feeble
for scme time. II is believed he lay
down in the weeds TO rest, and some
time during the night passed away. An
investigation Is being made by the po-
lice OF the Fourth precinct.
Showers Are Promised.
Other than this case no prostrations
were reported to the hospitals or by
/ the police washington seems to have
taken 10 heart the advice Of the various
/ hot weather experts who have spoken
I during the past few days and de-
/ terrnIned 70 accept things as they are
I and the heat as it comes. They have not

JAMES DIMENT
OF 0WATONlNA / !.
A FRIEND STATES HIS CLAIMS
FOR dovERNoRSHIP.
An American Citizen Who Stands
For Something, Shrewd Politi.
clan Who Never Loses an OPP
portunity to Promote the Peo'
pies Interest.

The Tribune desires that the Re-
publican party nominate its strongest
men for the coming contest. That
the people may know and judge for
themselves, we have offered to give
publicity to the claims of various can
didates. A friend of James Diment,
of Owatonna, sends us the following
tribute:-
eThe conservative element of the
Republican party is looking for
Moses who can lead them to victory
in this emergency. The condition OF
the party occasional by the conditions
surrounding the last campaign sug-
gest that it is no time to foist ones
own opinion upon the party, but to
carefully sift all the material at hand,
and ascertain, if possible, who pos
sesses the greatest element OF
strength. Many names have been
mentioned, and among them are those
of leaders who have made records as
safe and able statesmen.
"Mr. Diment,s friends present their
man with the greatest confidence.
They say he is rugged specimen of
the American citizen who stands for
something, and has no excuses or
apologies to make for having opin-
ions. In the current thought upon
public questions he is what our Demo
cratic brethren call "safe and sane"

hoping that what she has endured
and the miraculous manner in which
she was relieved may be the means

Of disease and affection.
So unusual was her experience that
her letter reproduced in part will not

health and happiness. She says:

He thinks right, is in sympathy with
the thoughts aspirations of the COM
mon people; has courage enough to
think for himself and to express his
thoughts in his own fashion. They
point out that just in this crisis Mr.
Diment is peculiarly moulded for the
emergency. A shrewd political man
ager he knew how to steer clear of
the breakeas in the last stormy cam
paign, and is one of the very few
prominent politicians who came
through that strenuous conflict with
out having left some sore spots some
where. He has some of the conserva-
tism of a Mckinley mixed with the
enthusiasm and energy of Roose-
welt, and with all has that rare COM
bination of good sense and good
Judgment which never leads him to
slop over, and never to lose an OPP
portunity to promote the peoples
interest. That is what his friends say
of him, and those who know him best
and who have been closest to him,
are his warmest frie nds and most
ardent admires.
eff Mr.. Diment possesses these
qualifications, or any number of them,
he would certainly make strong
candidate, and ought to be considered
by the convention. 1t is no longer in
Minnesota a matter of nomination.
The candidates must possess merit
and ability, and Mr.. Diment's friends
put up strong case for their man as
possessing qualifications which cer---
tainly in this emergency ought to
commend him to the favorable con-
sideration of Republicans of the
stateD

many charming legends have been told
1t was believed that it was so delight
full that those who ate of 1t would new
er leave the spot where it grew, but
for 1t would abandon home and friends
to spend their lives in dream of Sc
rene delight. Homer in the Odyssey"
mentions the lotus eaters who lived on
the northern coast Of Africa and re-
cords their attempts to detain the fol-
lowers of Ulysses by giving them the
fruits of the lotus to eat, so that they
should never wish to leave the spot
where 1t grew.
The same poetical idea is known to
the Arabs, who call it the fruit of des-
tiny" which is to be eaten in para
disc, and it is on this foundation that
Tennyson built his charming poem Of
the Lotus Eaters" This mythical
lotus has been identified by several
botanists with that indigenous to Tu-
mis-, which Is a thorny shrub, with ber-
ries of the size of an olive.
Mungo Park found species of lotus
in Central America bearing berries of
a delicious taste, which, on being dried
and pounded, made very wholesome
and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit
found in. Tunis has n stimulating, al
most intoxicating effect and it is
therefore probable that this plant fur
nished the foundation of the ancient
legends.
The sacred lotus of the Egyptians
was fine aquatic plant, dedicated to
Osiris and Isis and regarded in Egyp-
tian delineations as signifying the Gre
alton of the world Distinct from this
lotus was that known as the blue lotus
of the Nile, also sacred plant. Both
these species of lotus occur frequently
as religious symbols and decorations in
the temples.

on the Easter cards, but they are all
scantily clothed, and not one of 'em
wears twelve dollar hat.
Times are not exactly as flush as
they might be, so yesterday we took
our rifle and killed four jay birds for
our wife to trim her hat with.
There Is just this about it: These
Easter trimmings not only cover the
ground, but certainly fill the bill.

We are running an Easter millinery
establishment in connection with our

We have sold enough Easter lilies
this season to pay off the mortgage on
our mule.
