THE ERRATIc WEATHER MAN
Old Proh's Behavior Ranges from the
 Sublime to the Ridiculous.

Sublime to the Ridiculous.
 The weather man has been showing of of late. and giving an exhibition of his own versatility and the range of his switch. board. A week ago we were having sultry Indian summer and Old Prob was turning on the humidity pres ure.
 Sunday evening his mood changed suddenly and he began to play combina- tions on his weather machine. and as he began to push one button after another, things began to happen. The frstsymp- tom of change of mood was when, by working single combination old Boreas and Jupiter Pluvius were liberated at once. and the hurricane that struck terror and amazement to the hearts of the dwellers brought with it deluge of rain and rubbed it in. This was immed- lately followed by visitation of sleet and snow. and another pash on another button caused the mercury to drop 10 degrees with a dull thud that was heard from one end of the state to the other, and froze everything up with snap.
 It continued cold until Tuesday night, when the first real snowssorm of the season came down, covering all out doors with substantial blanket of white that brought the snow-shovels out in 8 clattering brigade the next morning. Wednesday the cold snap was unsnapped and the genial sun transformed the snow into slush and mud-and that's the situ- ation at present writing.

THE WATER IS MISSED
ON THESE HOT DAYS
Supply Cut Off From Three
Streets

We never miss the water till the
brook runs dry" was truism con-
fronting residents of Jackson aud
Church streets when, at noon yester-
day, the water supply was cut off pend
ing the putting in of twelve-inch wat
err mains in lieu of the eight-inch
mains. From Lamar street to Church,
and along Church from the Y. NJ. c. A.
building to Lee street residents are
now forced to sip champagne and alb
sinthe, or the stuff that made Milwau-
kee famous, or else lug a jug of Ad-
ANS ale from the artesian well. There
was no water to be had on these
streets last night, and the same con-
ditions confront the thirsty and the
unwashed this porning. 1t is possible
that water may be turned on again on
Jackson street by tonight, but it may
be three or four days until the Church
streeters can splash again.

New Orleans, August 25.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady at an advance Of
2 to 6 points on good cables. The
weather map was favorable, as 1t
showed good rains in the west, and
private advices from both Texas and
Oklahoma were more cheerful than
for some time past. At the same
time, weather and crop news did not
have any effect on prices, probably
because of the growing opinion that
the September condition report is 60
ing to be very low. Shorts bought
covers and fresh buying for long ac-
count was in evidence. At the end
of the first half hour of business
prices were Z to II points over yes
terday's close.
Reports from the interior during
the morning were unfavorable in the
extreme and they stimulated buying
for both accounts. Reports from
Texas were to the effect that buyers
we're finding it difficult to fill their
commitments for both August and
September. The movement to the
principal points in Texas was fairly
free, but it didn't have much If any
efftc on values. Shorts We're good
buyers throughout the morning ses-
sion and considerable buying for long
account was in evidence. At the noon
hour the trading months We're 20 20
25 points over yesterdays last quota
ton.
In the afternoon session the market
was very steady. At 2 O'Clock the
trading months were 23 to 26 points
over yesterdays close.

PLANS ARE Being MADE
FOR TAFT'S TRIP
Will Spend Six Weeks in Tour
Of West

Washington, August 23.-Plans for
President Taft's coming trip through
the West and to the Pacific Coast prac-
tically were completed today.
The journey will be almost as eX
tensive as that taken by the president
on his famous swing around the cir
Gle" in 1900, when he travelled more
than 10000 miles and visited 33 state.
He will break ground for the Panama
Canal Exposition at San Francisco,
make several score of actresses and at
tempt to scale the 400 feet of Mount
Rainier's precipitous slope.
According to the present arrange
ment the president will be gone six
weeks. In that time it is expected
that he will make close to 200 speeches
from platforms, from the rear end Of
his private car and other places not
on the regular schedule.
Republican leaders look upon the
trip as the most important politically
that the president has mapped out
he entered the White House. He will
go through all the states in the west
in which they recognize the DONNA
ton of the progressive republicans
| who are counted on to oppose his re-
nomination next year.
Until the question of the adjourn
ment of congress was out of the way
the president was undecided as TO
whether he should be gone three weeks
or six. With adjournment practically
assured for this week, the president
! feels that he can get three weeks rest
at Beverly and be in trim then to stand
the admittedly hard grind of 40 days i'll
private car.
The president will probably leave
Beverly September II, returning East
about November /.
He will go west through Iowa, Kaa=
sas. Nebraska, Colorado and Nevada, to
| the coast Most of the big cities IN
these states, including Des Moines,
Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and Salt
Lake City, will be visited, but the plans
for the trip contemplate stops at
scores of smaller places as well.

brown In The RACE"
MAJOR ULM STATES
But Joseph Saws Wood and
Says Nil

Atlanta, August 25.-Major A. H.
Ulm, private secretary to former Gov
ernor Brown while the latter was n
the executive chair, is authority for
the positive statement Tat Joseph NJ.
Brown will be candidate in the COM
ing gubernatorial race.
Major Ulm, who was newspaper
man prior to entering the political
field, is again engaged in newspaper
work, but keeps in close personal
touch with Mr.. Brown and is known
to be in his confidence.
Mapor Ulm's positive announcement
that Governor Brown will be in the
race follows a visit made to Ma
rietta yesteray, and makes the an
nouncement practically as certain IS
though it came from Mr.. Browns own
lips.
However, Governor Brown himself
has made no statement for publication,
holding to his principle that long cam
paigns are not a good thing for the
state.
The probability, therefore, is that
Mr.. Brown will not make his formal
announcement until the office becomes
vacant. The expectation still is that
Governor Smith will resign about the
first of December.

MANY KILLED In Wreck
ON The LEHTGH ROAD
TWenty-FOur Killed and 9th
GrS Injured

Rochester, N. Y, August 25.-Chfca-
go-BuffaIO train No. on the Lehigh
Valley railroad is reported to have
gone through a trestle at Manchester,
Ontario county, New York. Twelve
persons are reported killed. The train
was loaded with returning Grand Ar
my veterans.
A telephone message from Canadaf-
qua reports % killed and so injured
The train jumped the track near
bridge which spans Canadaigua out
let in the heart of the village of Man
chester
The train was heavily loaded with
veterans and others returning from
the Grand Army encampment in
Rochester. Ambulances and physi-
clans from nearby towns have been
summoned.
A telegram to Superintendent
O'Neal from Manchester, states that
seven were killed and at least rs in
jured, many seriously. Four cars
went into the ditch. The veterans
were in two rear cars of the train,
which did not leave the tracks.
A special train left Rochester with
provisions and medical supplies for
the scene of the wreck.

ROUSE GETS A RESPITE,
NO HANGING IN WORTH

Atlanta, August 25.-William Rouse
did not hang today. The governor has
formally postponed the Worth county
mans execution for one week, until
September /. However, the action IS
not properly speaking respite-rath-
er a mere postponement, owing to the
fact that pressure of Legislative bust
ness prevented the governor from fin
ishing with the records in the case.
Ordinarily it would scarcely be SEEM
ly to comment in advance, but the
opinion is freely expressed at the cap
itol that the governor will not com
mute the sentence.

COTTON MARKETS

New York, August 25.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance OF
"a points on August, and of to IL
points on other months in response 10
higher cables, reports that the Liver
pool strike had been settled and bull
ish private crop accounts. August
was relatively firm as the result Of
a little buying by scattered shorts,
but the advance was checked by realiz-
ing at 1918, and later months eased
off few points from the best during
the early trading under southern SELF
ing, realizing by recent local buyers
and some pressure which may have
been encouraged by reports of further
rains in the southwest and prospect
ior showers again today. The market
during the middle of the morning was
nervous and unsettled with new crop
lu0nihs about 6 to Z points net high
er.
1t was reported that a special train
was being run to New Orleans carry
ing cotton there for delivery on Au-
gust contracts, and while it was not
generally supposed that the short in
terest in the local market was large
one the bulls seemed to have the spot
nth in control
Spot nominal.
Tie upward movement which start
ed just before midday carried August
contracts up to 1906 or 81 points net
tlgher, and later months to a net al
vance of about 90 to 26 points. Re-
alizing was heavy enough to causg
slight reactions from these prices
d 'ng the middle of the afternoon,
but there was a continued nervous de-
mand from shorts and the bulls SEEM
cd to be in control of August.
