RAIN AND FROST
MARK WEEKS WEATHER
Weather Man VossIer Gives
Record of Past Seven Days.

Weather Observer Walter Vossler at
the waterworks pumping station says
he does not believe there is anything
real bad in the weather prospect for
the next four days. He says he tried
to get things started right during the
past week and lends all kinds of en-
couragement to the prospects for the
fall festival.
The rainfall of Monday last, was the
only real big first class feature of the
weather of the week. Friday broke
the low temperature record of the sea-
son by dishing up minimum of 25
degrees. The morning hours were quite
cool and Jack Frost made his visits
very effective by leaving a calling card
the size of a blanket that covered
everything completely.
The maximum temperature was reg
istered on Sunday when the thermom-
eter showed 81 degrees. The greatest
daily range was AZ degrees on Satur-
day. Monday and Thursday were
cloudy, Sunday and Wednesday partly
cloudy, Tuesday partly clear, and Fri
day and Saturday clear.
The daily range follows:

THE BALKANS,

To those who regard all trouble in
dispatches from that section of the
country will cause a smile of amuse-
ment. But in reality there is always
latent trouble brewing over there-a
smouldering volcanoc of wild and dis
satisfied hearts.
1t has only been by the determine
ton of the powers of Europe to main
tain the Balkans in the same way, i. e.
in nominal allegiance to Turkey that
peace has been kept.
England for various reasons is intent
on keeping Turkey extant in full pow
er, Germany has made overtures re-
peatedly to the parts and finally got a
| footing in the bureaucracy, only to see
it swept away recently by the young
| Turks.
The intention of the Austrian gov
eminent to retain a sphere of influence
in the provinces of Bosnia and Herze-
govina may not meet with the particu-
lar favor of the kaiser. While in ad-
dition English opinion is with Turkey.
1t may well be that when Austria tries
to foster trouble in the Balkans for her
own benefit, it may not meet with par
ticuIar favor in the continent for Aus
tria, is playing lone game.
The first step in what may become a
serious matter, will be the action of
Prince Ferdinand in taking for himself
the title of car of the Bulgars. Pre-
| tenders often are bought off-or fright
ened off-and Prince Ferdinand may
not do at the last exactly what he is
expected to.
There is one thing which there is no
speculation about. The population of
the Balkans SIS wild and untameable"
they like to fight and when not en-
gagged in fighting some one else it has
not deferred them from fighting among
themselves. If there is the slightest
chance for a row the public may rest
assured the Bulgars will not hang back.
| Whatever the outcome of the present
trouble-there will be trouble in the
| Balkins" for Dick II. Davis to write
about for many a day. We suggest
that Mr.. McCutcheon, who has shown
! himself such master in the under
standing of East Europe countries
leave on the next train to give us
Beverly of the Bulgars."

Meeting an EMERGENCY.

When the late William Window. sec
rotary Of the treasury, dropped dead
at a chamber OF commerce dinner in
New York some years ago just as he
was speaking there were but two re-
porters present, says the Saturday
Evening Post. The others had writ
ten their stories. sent down their copy
and the text Of the speeches and gone
to more interesting places. In one
newspaper Office the news did not get
in until minute before time for going
to press. Two columns Of windom's
speech were In type In the form. As
it was too late to make over and
catch the mails. an enterprising editor
wrote: The Hon. William Window
dropped dead at the chamber Of COM
merce dinner last night II he had
not dropped dead he would have
spoken as follows" Thus it stood until
they could make over.

THE QUAKER CITY.

The Yearly Meeting of the society of
Friends calls attention to the begin
ming and the present state of Rich
mond. Richmond should be proud Of
the distinction of the title the "Quak-
er City
The society of Friends were pion-
GERS IN freedom of thought and ideas
which have become SO much part Of
the fabric of modern life that we fail
to give credit to whom credit is due
In the stand for a simpler life, tenn
perance in living. higher education,
freedom of the negro race, equal suf-
frage and peace among nations-the
society of Friends were among the
first to adopt these principles which
are either already embodied or show
a marked tendency in that direction.
The disdain for all that was con-
ventional and formal made the earlier
Quaker have hard road to travel but
who will say that the end accomplish
ed was not noteworthy. Every one
can remember in this community,
staid and radical Friends of simple
habits whose plain speech and absence
of conventionality made them stand
out with dignity which was not alb
ashed.
The heritage of Richmond is not
alone one OF memories and traditions.
It is a heritage of high intelligence
and progressive thinking. Richmond
has an individuality directly traceable
to the Friends-a higher social order,
a marked intellectual stamp which
distinguishes it from other Indiana
towns OF the same size.
Nor is the gain altogether spiritual
or intellectual. The Quakers when
they were business men or farmers
were good business men and good far
Fists. They built on solid foundations
