SHERIFFS TO COME IN FORCE
Both National and State Associations
to Meet in Omaha.
NATIONAL HERE FOR THREE DAYS
Nebraska Association to he Here on
the Opening Date of the Larger
OrganixatiOn-PInns for
Entertainment.

''In all of my twenty years of experience
as sheriff 1 have never seen but one COM
plete reformation upon the part of a ha-
bitua1 criminal, and he was employed in a
construction gang on a bridge near Chi
cage, where 1t would be impossible for
him to steal anything but pig iron"
The author of the above statement, Mr..
Charles w. Peters sheriff of Cook county.
Illinois, who has accomplished more good
in Chicago than any two of his predeces-
sors, is the president of the National Sher-
ifs association. which holds It's conven-
ton here August TO. Mr.. Peters will
speak here at the convention upon reform
OF criminals and will illustrate some OF
his methods OF treating them. From the
remark of Mr.. Peters one Is led to think
that he is a firm believer in the old truism
that ''once a thief always a thief" How
ever, such is not the case. Mr.. Peters is
a kind, broad-minded man and is we'll
known for his generosity TO the unfortu-
nate, and the reason for his statement Is
based upon statistics
In letter to E. v. Parrish, manager OF
the publicity bureau OF the Commercial
club Mr.. Peters states that Of 118 prisoners
in the county Jail 90 per cent are in for
their second, third, fourth and some of
them as high as their tenth time. The
other 10 per cent are in for the first time,
but Mr.. Peters says that It IL his expert
ence that they will all come back. whether
II is in the Cook county jail or some other.
When the sheriffs convention meets here
sheriffs Of all the counties in which all
OF the big cities of the United States are
located will be here. and address the con-
vention. A large attendance is expected,
for the Nebraska sheriffs will hold their
convention on the same day as the opening
OF the national convention and over 200
officers are expected. many Of whom will
bring their wives and families.
Arrangements have been made by the
Ak-Sar-Ben committee to entertain the
sheriffs on Monday night, along with the
sheet metal workers, tennis players and
trap shooters, and after this, II the sher-'
ifs are in condition TO assimilate any more
enjoyment, they are to be banqueted by

Mr. Hull said: The republican party

same party has always bluntly, sneer-
ingly and contemptuously dismissed the
suggestion Of the creation of a tariff
board or commission save at such times
as 1t sought to delay honest tariff re-
vision and at the same time to avert i'm
pending political disaster"
Denouhcing the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law as an "abominable iniquity," and
CHASTITY abortion" Mr.. Hull said that
when It was passed, each lobbyist in &c
static delight, departed, saying:

MAN TACKLES THE EXTREMES
Some of the Variations in Tempera-
ture in LtvabIe Regions of
the Globe.

Plants and animals cannot exist in tenn
peratures far higher or lower than those
to which they have become accustomed,
while man moves from one extreme to
the other with, for the most part, but lit
tie physical discomfort Explorers will
visit the sands of Africa and the bleakness
OF the Arctic Circle and return to normal
environments even improved In physical
condition.
Man inhabits about every part Of the
earth except a few island regions in the
interior OF continents and immediate
vicinity OF the poles, 1t is from dread of
climatic conditions that his tent has found
no more than temporary resting place
in some Of these far distant spots. It is
not thought that the heat or cold Of any
or the unexplored regions OF the globe
has greater range OF temperature than
many regions now inhabited.
Science reasons that the lowest tenn
peratures at the earth's surface are not
found directly at the poles. but at some
distance to the south OF the north pole
and to the north Of the south pole. Like
wise the greatest degree of heat IL not, as
might be supposed. to be found at the
equator, but prevails at some distance to
aginary line.
The coolest place on the earth's surface
OF which there is authentic record is in
Siberia. The lowest temperature ever
recorded in the open air was 80 degrees
below zero (Fahrenheio at Werchajansk,
central Siberia, on January 16 1885
The highest temperature Of which there
is an authentic record is ia degrees above
zero (FahrenheiD in Algeria, northern
Africa, on July II. 1879. These places Of
extreme heat and extreme cold give a
range Of temperature covering the whole
inhabitaabie world OF 214 degrees, or two
degrees more than from zero to the boil
point
In the United States the lowest temper
ature ever recorded In winter is "a degrees
below zero in North Dakota, and the high
est ever recorded in summer 10 lis degrees
above zero in Arizona. This gives a total
range OF ITO degrees within about LOO
