A VIEW OF THE STANDARD CASE.

The Kansas City Journal believes
that it would be establishing dan
gerous precedent if the second trial of
the case against the Standard Oil COM
pany should result as the first trial
did in the conviction Of the company
and the assessing of a $4,000, 900 fine
The Journal says:
According to the Lands Standard
Oil decision, If any farmer, or mer-
chant or other person ships carload
of goods of the character of an inter-
state shipment and pays what the rail-
road agent charges and that charge
proves to be lower than the printed
tariff, such shipper is a criminal and
would be subject to fine.
According to the Lands decision, If
farmer shipped carload of pota-
toes to point In some other state,
and if the agent quoted rate lower
than the authorized rate, the farmer
could be charged with violating the
law as many times as there were po-
tatoes or bushels of potatoes or
pounds of potatoes shipped.
According to the Lands decision, if
the Burlington, the Union Pacific,
Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and San
ia Fe railroads were carrying potatoes
from Kansas City to Denver at a Civ
en- rate to all corners, and if that rate
were in the tariff sheets of all of the
roads named excepting the Burlington,
any shipper over the Burlington at
that rate would be guilty of crime
or as many crimes as the court might
choose to make out of the cars "

SOME HOT WEATHER RULES.

SOME HOT WEATHER RULES.
Some hot weather rules that might
be followed with profit are given by
DIR. William A. Evans, the Chicago
health physician. They are as fol-
lows:
The prevention of sunstroke Is
something that every one ought to
consider during these hot, sultry, mid
summer days. The observance of a
few simple rules would prevent a large
number of heat prostrations.
The most important single piece Of
advice that | can give to those who
would avoid heat prostration is to
leave beer and whiskey alone. A large
percentage of the prostrations occur
among the drinking men. A common
instance is that of the man who tries
to work after having been on spree
the night before. He is apt to get
sunstroke.
Plain water drunk in large quanti-
ties is an excellent preventive of sun
stroke.
Next to drinking the most import
ant thing Is eating. A large part of
our food is devoted to the heating of
the body. 1t would seem clearly evil
dent that we need less of such heat
ing food in the summer than in the
winter.
When the temperature is over 100
degrees in the sun or 80 degrees in the
shade we need no heating food. For
this reason meat should not be eaten
more than twice or three times a
week. A diet of vegetables, fruits and
buttermilk should replace 1t. To all
tntents and purposes we are living in
the tropics in such weather as we
have been having lately, and this be-
ing the case we should make our diet
conform with that of jewellers in the
equatorial regions.
Another important matter is the
keeping of the bowels open. This is
much more important in summer than
in winter. We should also keep our
skins so clear that every pore will be
open and free to perspire. We should
drink plenty of water and then give
1t an opportunity to work out through
our skins.
We wear clothes to keep the heat of
the body in. That is one of the prin-
c1pal reasons for the phenomena of
| clothing. But in summer this reason
has no force, and we should therefore
wear clothes light enough to let the
heat of our bodies out.
Lastly, don't worry! Don't look at
the thermometer! If it is hot you can
safely assume that the other fellow
knows it. And 1T is certain that to
tell him of 1t will make both of you
several degrees hotter.
These rules are for those that are
well. The man who is below par
needs other precautions. People with
affections Of the heart or kidneys or
other diseases that lower the vitality
should be cautious about putting a
strain on the weakened part. In most
of the cases of ordinary heat prostra
ton the heat is nothing more than the
straw that broke the camels back.

HOT WEATHER TO REIGN IN THE
LAND OF COTTON AND
POSTUM.
THE TEMPERATURE LOW
Stormy Period From August 2 to S
May be Serious in Some Parts
Conditions to be Variable
What Week Brings.
Bring.

The weather forecast for next week
promises lower temperature although
a warm wave is scheduled to cross the
continent from August to T. Prof.
Foster warns his readers to be on
alert for the storm period predicted
last week to arrive about August 8.
The complete forecast follows:
Washington, D. c., Aug. Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance
to cross continent to 8, warm wave
3 to Z, cool wave to 10. This was
predicted to be northern storm and
was not expected to have much effect
in the southern states.
Next disturbance will affect the
southern state and will reach Pacific
coast about 8, cross Pacific slope by
close of 9, great central valleys 10 to
IL, eastern states 13. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about s, great
central valleys 10, eastern states 12
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about II, great central valleys 10,
eastern state Is.
Immediately following August /
temperatures will be low in all parts
of the country but will steadily rise
on meridian 80 till 6. These conditions
will move eastward reaching the east
ern states from one to three days
later.
About 6 the northern storm will
have reached meridian 90, having
passed over the country from the
Pacific slope during the preceding
three days and it will reach the
Atlantic about or g. A cool wave
will follow about one or two days be-
hind this storm wave.
will again warn my readers that
the storm expected to cross Pacific
slope near August 3 will be severe
and in few localities will probably
be dangerous about August to 5.
Better be on the alert for that dis
turbance till 1t has passed you.
| In southern states the temperatures
will rise August / to 10. In extreme
southwest temperatures will begin to
go down about IL and that cool wave
will reach eastern states about Is.
Not much rain in southern states,
August 6 to IL. Some rain in south
4 first and last five days of month. Two
cool waves will cross continent first
half of August one reaching meridian
80 about and the other about z and
these cool waves will be preceded by
rains in northern states. Not much
rain in northern states August s
to a.
A northern disturbance will cross
continent II to is and will be
described in next bulletin.
am expecting temperatures of the
eastern states to average much lower
for August than in the great central
valleys. Rainfall will be greater for
August in the eastern states than in
great central valleys. Very low
temperatures will cross Manitoba
August II to % and cold dip will
come down into the United States moi
far from August IT, August will be
excessively hot in southern states
from Georgia westward frim to 81
That month will be dry in southern
states east of Mississippi river.

Horses were not selling around OF
tumwa in 1884 for what they are
now, either.
This is just part of what it costs
TO have the Democrats in power. 1t
has never failed to bring down the
price of both labor and farm products.
If the farmer gets more for his
corn, wheat, potatoes, cattle and hogs.
then he will buy more clothes and
better clothes, more machinery and
better machinery, build more build
ings and better buildings and in that
way the money he gets goes immed-
lately back to the workingmen who
make cloths and clothes, and the ma
chinery, and to the dealer who sells
1t and the man who sells building ma
terial and the man who puts up the
building.
The price we pay each other for
the articles we use is not so import
ant as it is THAT WE DO PAY IT
TO EACH OTHER. If we pay it to
the laborers of Europe, then we are
simply killing off the factory that is
making our market at home.
The farmer can afford to pay a fair
and reasonable price for his ma
chinery, for his clothes and for his
house, as long as the machinery and
the clothes are being made in this
country, because the people who are
making them are furnishing the mar
ket for what he raises. But if the
American farmer has to depend on
selling his goods to the poorly paid Ia
borers of Europe, then of course he
could not expect to get a very high
price for his product
