theory now generally accepted is that

the detectives for the recovery OF the
jewels. An advertisement inserted in

Gated that the gems have been found.

(FROM THE ARGUS FILES OF 1885,
Jan. THE Rock Island ferry dock
has been pulled up near the st. Louis
and st. Paul Packet company's office
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets. 1t is now in a clear pool of
water and there is little danger of the
water freezing along the shore again
this winter so as TO do the dock any
injury.
Yesterday afternoon there was
filed for record in the county re-
corder's Office a certificate of incor-
poration of St Luke's Cottage hospital.

The Egg Trust.

In spite of the fact that the cold
storage people in the big cities have
been held responsible for the high price
of eggs and are on the blacklist of the
federal and state governments, these
same people are playing the same
game that brought them into disrepute
and playing it without limit.
Nearly twice as many eggs are in
storage now in the warehouses of New
York city and vicinity as there were
a year ago. according to reports re-
ceived by the mercantile exchange.
Naturally the spectators are figuring
on even higher prices than prevailed
last winter.
1t is said that the total quantity OF
eggs in the % of 90 warehouses was
1.119,000 cases, each case containing
80 dozen. The daily receipts are ex-
ceeding the consumption by thousands
of cases, so that the supplies in stor-
age will continue to pile up for some
time, it is expected.

Frost Every Month in Year.

Talking about the weather and re-
ferring to its unprecedented charac-
ter, either cold or hot, is very COM
mon custom. That much of this talk
comes from habit and that the con-
illusions reached are more frequently
incorrect than correct is probably true,
but people will continue all the same
to discuss the weather with seeming
confidence in the accuracy of their
conclusions, and without regard to Of
fetal records. For instance, the month
of May, recently closed, is generally
held to have beer the coolest ever,
while as a matter of fact it is stated
that the temperature chart from May
1 through Memorial day shows an ex-
cess of II degrees above normal
But there was a year which no one
now remembers that made a record
for continuous cold that has never
been equaled and it is to be hoped
never will be- For the record shows
that year there was frost every month
of the IL. The Philadelphia Ledger
tells the story of that phenomenal
year as follows:
Those who deplore the passing of
the old-time summer look up the rec
ords of the year 1916 and note what
happened then; 1916 was called the
year without a summer. There was a
frost in every month of the year. jan
uary and February were mild, March
was clustering and raw; at the end Of
April snow fell abundantly and the
brooks were ice-imprisoned as In win
ter. In May the wondering buds and
young plants were nipped ere they
were aware; the corn crop was ami
hilated by an icesheet that formed to
the thickness of half an inch. In June
snow fell three inches deep in New
York and Massachusetts, and the de-
struction of growing things begun in
May was disastrously completed On
the 5th of July ice as thick as window
glass was a common phenomenon in
Pennsylvania, and in August there was
ice half an inch thick. Pennsylvania
farmers were compelled to pay So to
So bushel for corn for the next
springs planting. Winter seems to
have set in during the latter fortnight
of September; from that time forward
ice and snow were at no time lacking"
Just think Of the 1916 record, you
folk, who have been complaining of
the weather of April and May, 1910.

Victory for the Interests.

A majority of the republicans OF
Iowa do not want change in party
leadership or party policies. They de,
llberately went to the polls and de,
clared that Aldrich, Cannon, DaIzeII
and Tawney are proper persons to
guide the destinies of the party They
voted that the tariff law is the best
that was ever passed, that Roosevelt S
conservation policies were unwise and
that the war on the interests should
cease. They went further and en-
phaticaly told Senators Dolliver and
Cummins that they must take orders
from Aldrich and Cannon and that
they must cease their warfare on the
interests. That is what the vote of
Tuesday means.
Iowa was supposed to be the home
of insurgency. 1t was believed that
Dolliver and Cummins represented the
sentiment of the republicans of that
state. The popular vote disabuses this
impression. Iowa is satisfied with
things as they are. 1t repudiates the
senators and puts its mark of approval
upon standpatters and the interests.
If Iowa is to lead the way the demo
Gratis will be pleased. If the republi-
can party adopts the Iowa idea 1t will
lose the presidential election. It's one
hope for success lies in adopting the
reforms urged by the insurgents.
This, if Iowa has its way, will not be
done. The interests are in the saddle
