"Outlandish, hideous, unseemly, OBJ
structive, impudent, self-assertv2,
loud, dominant aiders and abbettors of
the devil" This sounds as though it
might be spoken by a Democrat in
reference to the Sc other varieties Of
Democrats than that to which he
happens to belong, but it is simply
the editorial opinion of the Western
Christian Advocate upon the 1909 style
Of millinery.

Today's Election.

| The voters of Augusta are to say
by their votes today whether or not the
Rines Hill crossing, which is conceded
to be the most dangerous one in Maine,
shall be abolished, or whether matters
shall remain as they are for years to
come. There seems to be no DISPOSE
ton anywhere to question the fact that
people who travel up and down this
much used hill, do so at the peril of
their lives, and that if it is allowed
to remain as it is, terrible accident
is almost certain to occur there. In
| fact it is almost miracle that one
has net occurred there before this
and our citizens are all aware of the
fact that on several occasions they have
been very narrowly averted. 1t would
certainly seem as if no thoughtful citi-
zen would care to vote to continue such
condition of affairs. For the first
time in a period of Is wears it is now
within the mower of the citizens of Au-
gusta to do away with this death trap.
We have faith to believe that they
will do so by an emphatic majority.
hoS otuyr I
possible for us to do away with this
dangerous crossing; but it has given
us an appropriation of $4,000 to assist
in doing the work. If this should be
turned down, there is little proba-
bility that we should ever get an
other. The sum which the city will be
held to pay is so small that it will
amount to but a few cents each to our
property owners, while it will not make
a cents difference in the poll tax.
Against this the city will gain some
very substantial advantages.
1st. In the safeguarding of human
life.
end. In the convenience of travel to
and from Water street.
3rd. In the better grade of Rines
Hill.
18th. In the building of new freight
sheds below Rines Hill, thus enabling
the shifting of freight to be done at
this point and relieving Winthrop and
Bridge hills of large part of their
present dangers and delays. 1t will be
a great and permanent public improve
ment. The Journal believes that we
are one city in spirit and in purpose
and that whatever tends TO safety and
limits is deserving of the cordial sup
port of all our citizens
There is only one proposition to come
before our voters today 1t is for them
to accept or reject it. If we accept it
we secure the substantial benefits
above noted and at least $4,000 of out
side money will be spent in our city the
coming summer. If we reject it mat
tiers will remain precisely as they are,
and the same fearful menace to the
public will continue at the Rincs Hill
crossing in the future as it has in the
past.
The fact must not be lost sight of
that there is but one proposition be-
fore us today. 1t is for us to say
whether We will get that or get moth
ing.
Shall we vote to do away with this
death trap. or shall we vote to con-

SHEEP-Despite the fact that yester-
days receipts totaled almost 2,OW head Of
sheep and lambs, the big end OF which con-
sisted OF feeding stock, practically every
thing in the feeder line changed hands at
fully steady prices before the close Of the
afternoon session, This feature OF the
trade takes on an added significance when
1t is remembered that yesterdays run was
the largest so far this season, and Incl
dentally the second largest run Of the
year. Fat wethers did not fare as well,
however, and the trade throughout was
dull, with a resulting poor clearance. Con
siderable allowance must be made for the
sticky conditions OF yesterdays fat sheep
market. because Of the unusually large
proportion Of wethers. Even under such
adverse circumstances only a few loads
were carried over until today and offer
ings that changed hands in the afternoon
commanded prices not materially different
from those paid in the morning.
TOday's receipts were comparatively
light. A good, healthy tone to the market
was apparent from the opening, especially
in the feeder and fat lamb branches OF the
trade. There was not many feeder sheep
on sale, but such as we're offered moved
readily at steady to strong prices. Young
feeder stock threatened to break into fat
lamb circles at $3.50, but supply wa limi-
ted and they happened to be a particularly
suitable string Of feeders.
Fat lambs met with a good, broad de-
mand and sellers promptly pegged up
tdahos realized $50 and $3.50. a big fifteen
higher than yesterday. The general mar
ket shows an advance Of right around 100
l5c.
Curtailed supplies of fat wethers caused
packers to evince more interest in the
wether trade than they did yesterday, but
the improved demand was not sufficient to
cause them to better their bids. The mar
ket was generally steady, with one or two
soft spots showing up occasionally. A
string of Montana wethers were weighed
up at $3.50.

CHICAGO, Aug. m-Wet weather in the
Red River of the North valley prompted lib

the close Of N9%e. Coarse grains and
provisions also closed strong.
Wheat worked into a stronger position
today and at times displayed decided
strength, but on the bulges there was
1ffectually checked any strong upward
movement. An advance of n%d in the
price Of wheat at Liverpool impaired a
bullish tone at the start and opening quo
tations showed gains OF hq1Ac, compared
with yesterdays closing figures. The eff
feet OF the bullish foreign advices, how
ever, was soon lost, but fresh impetus was
vices OF excessive rains in the northwest.
Export business was still q negative guam

firm with September at 9S1Ac.
Bullish sentiment prevailed in the corn
market throughout the entire day owing
to continued hot weather in many parts of
the corn belt, firm cables and reports OF
damage to the crop in Roumania, Bulgaria
and southern Russia. The market closed
strong at almost the highest point, with

Oats were firm owing to a brisk demand
by shorts based on the strength of wheat
and corn. At the close prices were &9hc
