HOW HOT Is THE SUN?
Temperature Said to Be Nearly 10000
Degrees Fahrenheit.

Paris.-A discussion as to how hot
French scientists. Prof. Millochau
the physicist, says:
I'VE have seen that by applying
Stefan's law to the numbers given by
various observers for the solar con.
slant, we find that the suns tempera-
1000 degrees. Wilson and Gray in
1902 made direct measure of this
temperature (by means of the Their
moelectric pile) and obtained 5,573
degrees, and measurements made with
the pyrheliometric telescope lead to
the figures 1868 degrees. There is
yet third method of evaluating the
solar temperature; it consists in an
application of the physical law Of
radiation known as the law of dis
placement The product of the wave
length corresponding the maximum
of intensity in the spectrum emitted
by the body, multiplied by it's tenn
perature, is a constant quantity which
has been found by experiment to be
1900. Now the maximum of energy
in the solar spectrum is found near
the wave length, 5, which would make
the temperature $500 degrees.
1.-THE agreement of the results
reached by these various methods is
certainly not due simply to chance,
and we may assert that the effective
temperature of the sun is nearly 5,4O0
degrees c. C9,700 degrees FL"

BIRTHPLACE OF G. o. p.
Plans Are Made to Preserve Historic
Schoolhcuse in Wisconsin.

Ripon, Wis.-The Commercial club
has decided to purchase the old school
house in which the Republican party
had it's birth. President R. c. Hughes
of Ripon college offered site for the
building on the college campus. This
has been accepted and possession will
be taken in a short time
The persons who owned the build
ing offered it to the Ripon Historical
society at what seemed to that associ-
alton to be an unreasonable figure.
An offer from outside men who, it was
understood, intended remodeling the
structure, fastened action on the part
Of the citizens of Ripon, who have de-
termined not to permit the desecra-
ton Of tho historical heirloom.
If the trustees of Ripon college sane.
ton the recommendation of President
Hughes, the building will be removed
to the college campus, where it will
be preserved and used as a museum
for Wisconsin relics.

BEING UP-TO-DATE.
Live Business Men the Ones Who
Make the Greatest Success.

The man in business is out to wiz
or he wouldn't be in business. There
are many little details that must be
looked after, must be studied and
which are essential to success. Many
merchants, particularly in small
towns, are kept so busy wrapping up
bits of g1nghams, weighing out sugar
and doing the hundred and three 9TH
er things, that they think they have
no time to give all these little essen
tials attention. These days the mer-
chant is really up against hard
game, unless he keeps right in line
and to the front. Statistics show that
80 per cent. of those who engage in
the retail trade fail.
People must buy necessities. The
average mortal wants the best he can
get for the least money Merchant
Jones cant sell at any higher prices
than Brown on the opposite side Of
the street sells like goods for, and
Browns method is pretty good.
Brown has captured good trade,
and on some lines gets sitter prices.
How does he do it? Look at the ar
rangament of his goods. He has a
place for everything, and everything
properly in its place, and displayed to
the greatest advantage. He hasn't
his potatoes and his apples mixed in
a heap and his tomatoes and other
canned goods of the vegetable class
mixed with his jellies and his jams;
neither are the labels 50 covered with
dust that the goods look as if they
were held in stock for years. You can
just bet Brown is up-to-date, his goods
are 50 arranged that people find a
pleasure in stopping In front of the
store and looking at the show win
dows, and go through the door and
see the harmony and order in all the
arrangement of his stock. Brown
himself is no SLOUGH, his attire is plain
but neat, no gaudy display and his
temper is always even, and smile
is for every customer, and all his
clerks are required to keep them
selves neat and show the greatest
courtesy to everyone who enters the
store. Then again, he sees that goods
are delivered promptly, no delay in
getting your sugar, your butter and
all that you order from Brown, for he
is always Johnny-on-the-spot. Then
again, he keeps all his customers feel
ing we'll; he always believes in an
era of good feeling; he is sympathetic.
Then Brown is man who doesn't
believe in keeping set of books for
the purpose of charging up poor ac-
counts He has a knack of collecting
his bills so his customers feel they
are under obligations to him, and
while he is stickler for making cash
sales, sometimes good responsible
customers want little credit, and
get it. Merchants like Brown are the
kind that build up the home town.

In a Presidential Year.

This is presidential year, and the
alarmist, the dry-goods box philoso-
pher and the calamity howlers of diff
ferent breeds and opinions are abroad
in the land. Presidential years are
"off" years, so they say, and the most
level-headed old-timer shakes his head
with doubt when he speaks of the con-
ditions throughout the land. There is
little cause for a Tightening up in
the affairs, more cautiousness in flnan-
cial and commercial centers in gen
eral. This year there are no such "pre-
sentiments" Of evil as generally mark
presidential years. Business goes on
just the same as 1t has during the
past half dozen years or more, only
there is evidence that men are not
losing their heads and are carefully
considering possibilities. The agri-
cultural sections are particularly for
tunate in the fact that their pros
perity depends little upon the fuctua-
tions of stocks or securities. 'Tis
the wealth of land and live stock that
counts, and while any depression may
to a certain extent influence price, it
will require greater calamity than
change in administration to par
alyze agricultural industries.

Prices Manipulated to Give Erroneous
Impressions of Cheapness.

The catalogue houses make such in
roads into the business of the dealers
who chiefly rely upon country trade,
that in some localities merchants can't
be blamed for the complaints they
make Much can be done by the mer-
chant to prevent his customers send
ing to such concerns for goods, if he
will but make the effort. Sometimes
a little solid reasoning will have the
right effect. Any man of common
sense knows that the basis of all
prices is the cost of production.
There must be a paying profit in the
business of manufacturing and al
lowance made for cost of placing on
the market. The purchaser should be
satisfied that the manufacturer and
the dealer made fair, honest profit
The farmer estimates his profit on
the cost of growing his products. On
many crops and on his cattle and
hogs his percentage of gain is much
more than the storekeeper makes
upon the goods he sells. A little rea-
soning along these lines with eXplana-
tlOQS undC IL low prices are maze
there must be inferior goods supplied
will perhaps help to keep many peo-
pie from sending away for goods.
One trick of the catalogue houses is
to classify goods by sizes as to make
a very low price on goods little in de-
mand, and large profits on goods
mostly called for The one who looks
at the list to see prices finds his eye
first sees the low-priced goods and
naturally concludes that the whole
line is lower. If careful examination
of the list be made the trick would be
found, and an average of the list
would show that the articles most
called for are higher than would be
asked by the home merchant.

MAN MUST WEAR A GAG.
Court Makes Order and Red Bandana
Is Used Effectively.

Tacoma, -"Stuttering" Smith
is the first man in the court records OF
this city compelled to wear gag in
his mouth when he appears on the
street The police here know OF no
other like case in any other city
Smith has given the police of Ia,
coma a great deal of trouble. Years
ago he made his home here for ten
years. Then the police made life such
a burden for him that he left. Re-
Gently he came back and the police
have been after him every few days
The man claims to have an affection
that physicians who have examined
him say is probably without parallel
1t is an involuntary movement of the
vocal organs that compels him to ut
ter words and sentences that he
claims are not in his mind. Smiths
chief offense is vulgar expressions,
used, apparently in an involuntary
manner, in the presence of women
The man is wealthy, and whenever
brought up in court, secures counsel
and makes hard fight.
Judge Arnston ordered that when
ever he appeared on the street or in
public places he should wear a gag
In his mouth, preventing him from
talking.
Shortly after being discharged by
the court Smith had a large handker-
chief tied tightly over his mouth by
policeman and was given his free
dom. Only when he is in the seclusion
of his own room is Smith permitted
to take the gag off.

OLD LAcEs THE BEST.
With a Little Renovatng They Can
Be Used to Good Advantage.

Among the odds and ends that ac-
ing so convenient as the lace box
Every family has one, and it is al
ways advisable never to buy any new
trimming before first looking over
what there is boarded away among
the relics of the past.
Some think because lace has been
used once it is only fit for the rag
bag, but the materials of the last
generations were much finer than any
that can be purchased nowadays, and
after little renovating they can be
used to great advantage.
Old point lace must be handled most
carefully. The only way to clean it is
by rubbing it gently with cornmeal.
This removes the dirt without tear
ing the fine threads.
Irish lace, which is so fashionable
just now that no toilette is considered
complete without it, is very easy to
wash. All that is needed is soap and
warm water, but be sure and iron it
when wet, else it will lose the stiff
ness which is it's chief charm.
Yellow and tan lace after being
kept for any time fades, but that can
easily be remedied by making a strong
pot of tea. Drain off the leaves. While
hot dip the lace in and let it remain
there until it has become the desired
shade. Press while still damp, with a
hot iron.

MIGRATORY Merchants,

Retail merchants in small towns
have almost as bad competition with
the travelling month-in-a-town fakir,
as they have in the big catalogue
houses. Many towns have ordinances
and even state laws in some cases are
in force, to control the wandering
from town-to-town merchant"
Those Migratory dealers are han
d1ers of job lots, seconds and stale
goods and are adopts in the advertis-
ing art. They land in town with a
carload of their inferior goods, hire
vacant store room in some part of
town, in or as near the business CEN
ter as they can; distribute attractive
posters throughout the town and coun-
try, and then glib statesmen start to
work the unsophisticated. 1t II main
ly in the boot and shoe, dry goods,
clothing and the notion line the trav-
cling merchant works.

PERT IN HIS LINE.
WISE USE OF PRINTERS INK
How Advertising by Specialist Was
Turned to Profit by a Wide
Awake Country Store
keeper.

One Of the latest deals of the town
eo-town man is the working up of sales
for some local merchant. He enters
the town and contracts with some
storekeaper to hold a weeks sale.
What goods the merchant cannot sup
ply he Will have shipped in to add to
the stock on hand. He is a worker for
the percentage on the gross sales, and
stands the advertising bills. He is a
postmaster in the art of country town
advertising. He knows how to get out
an attractive poster and how to reach
the town people and the farmers as
well. He covers the front of the store
with signs calling attention to the
sale. He has a force of specially
fairly hum, unless he bucks up
against another merchant in the town
who knows few things about getting
business himself
Not long ago in one of the small
western cities one of the experts"
opened up a sale for a merchant who
had considerable stock of stale
goods, particularly boots and shoes,
on hand. The front of the store build
ing was covered with attractive signs,
thousands of posters and handbills
were sent throughout the city and
country, and the advertising began to
show results. There was one live
merchant in the town who saw Il
chance to reap a benefit from the eff
forts of the expert" The sale had
only fairly gotten under way when the
dealer-up-to-date commenced placard
ing his store in the same block. He
was not slow in the advertising line.
When the sale manipulation hung out
his sign, Finest shoes in the town,
$3.50 per pair" the upto-date man met.
it with: These shoes don't look like
kid, they are not paper, but they will
wear better than anything you can
get for twice the money-only S105."
Other signs called attention to hon
est values; that there was no special
sale on hand; it was regular business
and regular prices-but prices were
right, the goods were right and honest
values, and invited comparison with
ANY other stock in town." and the
people were interested
Farmers understand the bargain
sale" deal, and at the end of the first
day the up-to-date man had sold 1879
pairs of shoes and rubbers He didn't
have to cut prices. He gathered up
IN, er,ds u st1ci,
ed them so as to tell the people they
were little out of style, but honest
bargains, and he did business in vol
umes as great as the expert bargain
man, and convinced his customers
that not alone on one day could they
get full value for their money, but on
any day.
1t is well for the merchant in the
small city to do judicious advertising.
This will bring as good results, and
.savesthe percentage paid the expert
In fact if the merchant would take the
amount that would be paid out to the
expert and use it in advertising in his
home paper he would be the winner in
the end. Then, again, the expert" IS
out to make sales, and he makes them.
sometimes in such a way as to turn
away the trade of those who were
good customers of the merchant.

racer of Seattle, was fatally injured
when his car rolled completely over
three times last night, and he is not
expected to live through the day.
George Mccartney, another racer,
was also seriously injured but Is eX-

road races to be held tomorrow when
the accident occurred. Folberth had
driven over the course three times
and was running his machine at 65-
miles an hour clip when he attempt
ed to make the turn on the road to
the 12-mile road house. Workmen
who had been putting the course in
shape, had plowed the ground, in
tending to roll it to lessen the danger
of the curve.
The Seattle driver knew nothing Of
the newly plowed ground, ran into it.,
the wheels sunk and the machine roll
ed over. Folberth could not escape,
and was crushed under the heavy ma
chine three times. Four ribs were
broken and fatal internal injuries sus-

UMAT|LLA BEATS
TWIN FALLS LAND.
ONE HUNDRED LAND
SEEKERS RETURN HOME.
f. G. Brown Formerly Of This Coun-
ty But Now of Seattle Says Echo
and Hermiston Land Excels Any
thing Under Twin Falls Project
Big Crowd Saw Government Land
Rattle.

One hundred adventurous spirits
from every northwest state. passed
through the city today on their re-
turn to their homes from the Twin
Falls land opening where a crowd of
over 5000 people saw that project
opened and raffled off by the gov
ernment.
The crowd came in on No. l the
west bound o. r. & N. train and
took the Spokane train for the north
at noon. Most of the crowd trans
ferring here were from Seattle and
Spokane and while but few of them
secured numbers, in the land open
ing yet all were well pleased with
the Twin Falls country and believe
that it will be a paradise in a few
years under irrigation.
However, F. G. Brown, formerly
of this county who was a member
of the Seattle party today said that
none of the Twin Falls project is to
be compared with the land in the vi
cinity of Echo or Hermiston. The
climate, soil. transportation facili-
ties and markets are all in favor of
the Umatilla county tracts and while
he passed through this county to go
to Twin Falls to buy land, yet he says
that he wonders why anybody should
do so, as this county offers many
more advantages.
