SUFFER AN ICE FAMINE.
Railroad Comes to the Aid of cleve-
 land in Extremity.

Cleveland, O.. July S.-Despite the offer of General Superintendent A. s. Ingalls, of the Lake Shore Rail- road of 15,000 tons of ice from the railroads private store at Colinwood enough to supply the city for a week the threatened ice famine situation in Cleveland was not much relieved to- day. because of inability of ice com- panies to obtain enough experienced workmen to bring ice in from the railroad suburbs. The railroad, how ever, will have fifteen car loads brought into Cleveland by Sunday
 The ice companies until the supply grows better, will first deliver to gro cers, meat and milk dealers and give what is left to domestic traders.

TO SIGN TREATY
 ON ARBITRATION
ENGLISH AND UNITED STATES AMBASSADORS EXPECTED TO
 SIGN AGREEMENT SOON.
is Said to Be a Model After Which Other Arbitration Treaties May
 be Drafted and Executed.

Washington, June S.-Within a week or ten days the signatures of the secretary of state, Philander C.. Knox, and the British ambassador, James Bryce, will be placed on the treaty between the United States and Great Britain to provide for the arr bitration of all questions arising be- tween the two countries, including even matters or vital importance and national honor.
 The signing will bring to an end the negotiations begun at the instance of President Taft and AmDassador Bryce early this year and will mark what many believe to be the greatest step toward international peace ever taken.
 Some changes remain to be made in the text, mainly in the phraseology to which the greatest attention is being given to avoid any ambiguity or pos sible chance of misconstruction when the treaty comes to be tested by act ual recourse to it's provisions.
 It is to be a model from which it is hoped general arbitration treaties between the United States and oth- er nation will be drawn.
 Only one point of substance re- mains to be adjusted, and the state department is awaiting the last word of the British foreign office upon that subject. There are two ways in which the object to be covered in this provision of tho treaty san De |attained; either of which would be acceptable to the state department, so there is no reasonable doubt of a complete agreement.

 WERE LAST YEAR.
Price of Farm Products Is 7.5 Per Cent Higher Than in 1e10--Bureau of Labor Makes Interesting
 Investigation.

Washington, D. C., July S.-The high cost of living is no myth. An investigation by the bureau of labor Iof the prices of 257 commodities dur ing 1910 shows that wholesale prices in that year were four per cent higher than in 1909 and 6 per cent above the average of 1907, which was the year of highest prices since 1890.
 In view of the Canadian reciprocity discussion, an interesting item in the bureau report shows that the whole sale prices of farm products was 7.5 per cent higher in 1910 than in 1909.
 Wholesale prices in 1910 were 19. l per cent higher than in 1900; ACT per cent higher than 1897 (which was the year of lowest prices between 1890 and 1910); 16.6 per cent higher than 1890 and 31.6 per cent higher than the average high prices between 1890 and 1899.
 The highest prices m this decade were reached in October. 1907. when Ia general decline began which con tinued until August, 1908. A rise then set in and there were monthly
 increases without a break up to
 March, 1910, when wholesale prices reached the highest point in twenty years. They were then 21.1 higher
 than the average of 1900; 49.2 per cent higher than the yearly average
 of 1897 and 33.S per cent higher than
 the average price of ten years be-
 tween 1890 and 1899.
 1 Then followed slight decline and
 from June to December, 1910,, prices
 remained nearly level and at the close of the calendar year 1910. they still
 were 30 per cent higher than the ten year average between 1890 and 1900 and 45.4 per cent higher than the lrecord set by the high price year, 1897. Of the 257 commodities con- sidered in the investigation, 14S showed an average increase; 26 show ed no change and sS showed de- lcreases.
 Prices of lumber and building ma terials increased 10.7 per cent farm products 7.5; drugs Al per cent; food stuffs 3.2 per cent, clothing ' Iper cent and the miscellaneous group of commodities 5.7. House furnish. | ings decreased I per cent and fuel and light per cent.

Kansas Supreme Court Upholds His
 Nose as Testimonq.

Topeka, Kas., July S.--The Kansas Supreme Court yesterday upheld the bloodhound as an agent of justice. If the hound has been proven accu- rate in following the trail of human footsteps, that evidence was evidence enough, said the court, to convict.
 The decision came in the appeal of Glen Adams. convicted in Novem- Der 1910, in Graham county, of the murder of Joseph Anderson, farm Ter.
 Tracks about Anderson's home gave the hounds good trail and@ they followed it to the Adams home, six miles distant. Shoe tracks at the Adams house and around Anderson's body corresponded with the shoes Adams wore. The shoes and the hounds were all the evidence against Adams.
