The Senatorial Vacancy.

The Senatorial Vacancy.
While immediate political interest
centers In the decision of Governor
Cummlns as to filing the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator ALL
son, the politicians are giving much
attention to the question OF whether
there will be n contest over the full
term before the legislature OF next
January.
Governor Cummins has declined to
discuss either question, and declines
to be quoted with respect to the sena-
torial succession.
II Is commonly understood, how
ever, that conference OF the progress
sive republicans will be held In Des
Moines probably the latter part OF this
week, with a view to discussing the
governor, and 1t Is supposed among
politicians that he will then be pre-
pared to make n statement with re-
gard to his plans.
This would include announcement
of his decision as to whether to no.
sign or appoint temporarily or call q
special session of the legislature to
fill the vacancy; and an announce
ment as to his candidacy for the full
term before the legislature next win.
ter.
That the governor will be candi-
date for the senatorship is taken for
granted among the politicians.
Whether he will plan to take the
short term before being a candidate
for the long term is not known, and
1t Is believed that he, himself, has not
yet reached a conclusion on the sub

censure Executive Council.
Many Of the country newspapers OF
the state are assailing the executive
council because 1t recently cut down
the primary election expense blu
filed with II by the county auditors.
In the process the executive coun-
Gil saved the state treasury about
$4,000. The total expense to the
state treasury, when the council got
through cutting the bills, was slightly
more than $4,000.
The primary law provides that half
Of the expense of the election shall
be borne by the state and half by the
counties. 1t provides that In each
county "the board of supervisors of
each county shall audit the entire ex.
tire expense and certify the same to
the executive council, which shall
thereupon order warrant for one.
half the amount to be delivered to the
county, which shall thereupon pay
the entire amount"
The directors claim that the council
has nothing to do but order the war
rants drawn.
1t was the theory of the state
authorities that IL the law had con-
templated that the executive council
had not the power to see that the ex
penses paid by It for the primary cleo
ton were within the law, II would
have provided that the auditor Of
state. the officer empowered by the
law to drawn warrants, should have
drawn the warrants for the primary
election expense without their submits
sion to the council.
The council has nothing to do with
the drawing of warrants. It's sole
duty Is as an auditing board. The
attorney general held 1t to DO tho
duty of the executive council to re-
view the expense accounts of the sew
eral counties relative to the primary
election to the extent Of determining
whether the various items of expense
were authorized by and within the
law. Several other minor rulings
were furnished by the legal depart
ment which are contained In the &C.
ton OF the executive council.
A very large item of the expense
cut by the council was In the bills

cation of the election notices.

TOMAS E. PALMA. riot. Palma was
born in the province of Bayamo in
1885. For number of years before
he became President of Cuba in 1902
he lived in the United States.
When Cuba was freed by American
Intervention Mr.. Palma was elected
the first President of the new republic.
President Palma found high office no
bed of roses. His political opponents
accused him of undue ambition and of
usurpation of power. The sparks of
hostility and partisan rancor were
famed into a flame and finally the op-
position leaders relapsed into their old
Cuban habit. Thick took up their ma
chetes and went to the woods" to
start revolution after the South
American fashion. The United States
was under moral and treaty obliga-
lions to preserve the peace. To prevent
the effusion of blood in another revo-
luton, President Palma realized that
his abdication was the best course. He
thereupon stepped out of the chief mag
istracy, giving place to an American
Governor and the second American oc-
cupation was begun The veteran pat
riot retired to his old estate on the
Cauto River, far from the turmoil OF
politics and intrigue, there to end his
days in the seclusion of private life.

WHAT BAD WEATHER COSTS.
A Rainy Day in West London Mean
100000 Loss IN Trade

A Rainy Day I'm West London Mexns
100000 Loss in Trade.
The effect which the weather has on
trade In the great cities of the world is
most noticeable as well as most remark
able. 1t has been estimated that the
shops In the west end of London lose
by single rainy day 100000. Some
kinds of merchandise are especially SEN
sitive to the influence Of the weather.
Mutton and pork, for instance, are
spoiled by very strong electric dis
charges, so that many a butcher will
lose $50 to $50 by thunder storm.
A real London fog is much more ex-
pensive by reason of its impenetrable
darkness. For gas alone London eX-
ponds day, when there Is fog, ST.
500 more than usual. The apothecaries
are pleased by such weather, for the
reason that it causes a number of dis
eases, so that their income is doubled.
The underground railways also have
their income increased by rain and fog.
Naturally, it is much more pleasant to
be protected from the wind and wet
than to sit on the top Of an omnibus
and get soaked through.
When it rains nearly all tradesmen
complain of bad business except the
cigar dealers; the latter. however. rub
their hands with delight. The desire
to make bad day more endurable by
good cigar increases the takings of
the cigar dealer 10 per cent. The pub
lie housekeepers in the city have no
cause for complaint, every one knows.
Whoever has anything to do in the
street supplies himself with umbrella
and raincoat, and these cost money. In
nearly all other shops the proprietors
wait unavailingly for customers. Won
en- especially have no great desire to
shop in the rain.
Nature causes considerable expendi-
ture for man. She herself is spend
thrift, as in storm she wastes giant
forces. The storm that destroyed Gal
weston could have furnished the power
given by all the steam engines of the
world for years. A single thunder
storm would suffice to drive all the
dynamos in existence, and the average
value of a flash Of lightning has been
calculated as about 81 POS.

Shedding Wool

There are many things which may
cause sheep to shed their wool in win
ter or spring without their being affiict-
ed by scab. If they have short pas
turage in the fall and come to the barn
thin in flesh, and are then fed we'll
they are apt to begin to shed wool In
winter, while if winter forage is poor
or scanty and spring pasturage good,
shedding is likely to begin before shear
ing time. Keep them in a good, thrifty
condition at all seasons, even if it is
necessary to feed grain to do 81 An
other cause may be overcrowding In
the shed, keeping them too warm at
night. Allow at least ten square feet
OF shed room to each sheep of small
breeds, and from twelve to fifteen for
the larger breeds. Even more frequent
ly the cause may be the manure under
them fermenting and heating as it Is
liable to do If ii is allowed to get wet.
1t would be well to clean out the shed
late in the fall, again at midwlntc-.
and early in the spring, and between
these times keep plenty of clean, dry,
bedding under them. This will increase
the value of the manure even more
than 1t does the bulk as the liquid ma
nure is rich and needs an absorbent.

The latest volume issued by the

Britain's expenditure FOR imported
food for 1907 was over f172,0oo.0oo,
while for imported wool and agricul-
tural produce, such as hay, ETC., she

The percentage of imports to popu-
lation rises all round. More than four
ffths of the wheat consumed In the
united kingdom comes from abroad.
In the seven years 1S59-65 Britain
imported on an average 126 pounds
of wheat and -four per head of the
population each year. In 1907 that
amount is nearly doubled.
