That there will be a record breaking

In southwestern Missouri early today.
but this with the rains on the Pacific
coast, was the only blot on the fair

cloudy and overcast, but precipitation
IL not expected. The Weather Bureau
makes forecasts OF rain in the region
of the Great Lakes tonight. but 1t is
not anticipated that rain will fail until
hours after the polls have closed.
No rain IL expected in the State or

weather Is probable throughout the
day.
Record Vote Probable.
Temperatures in the West are not
too low for comfort. Snow has reccnt-
ly fallen through the Missouri valley
and freezing temperatures have been
reported early In the morning during
several days past. All Of the SNOW

SHOCK AND GRIEF
THREATENED HIS SIGHT.

Ii is a we'll known fact that sudden severe
shocks and intense mental strain often affect the
bodily functions In q serious manner. Per
sons have become blind from grief or from
shock or have lost their mind, or their ability
to speak.
Joseph Bohn. one OF the oldest and best known
attaches Of the firm OF ". B. Moses 4 Sons
Company, is an example Of how repeated shocks
and the grief attendant upon sudden bereave-
merit can affect the sight.
Two years ago nephew of Mr. BoAn Harry
Hoagland. who was q widely known and 20 u
lar newspaper man. member OF the National
Press Club and later an agent of the Depart
ment of Justice, died suddenly In Pittsburgh.
His body was brought to Washington for burial.
Joseph Bohn. IT., Mr.. Bohns son. one OF Wash
ington's leading young architects. took charge OF
the funeral arrangements for young Hoagsnd. his
cousin. and the day Of the burial the junior
Bohn remarked to his father. while standing
beside his cousins grave, that he believed. un-
less his own health improved be would be the
next to be inferred In the family plot. Within
thirty days Joseph Bonn, r., was dead OF

The double bereavement and attendant shock
wrought upon the fathers mind that his
health broke down. His eyes became affected.

census CLERKS FAVORED.
Taft Orders They Be Given
Preference in Filling Va
Cancies in Government.

President Taft has issued an order
that census Office clerks recently dis
charged, who have civil service status
are to be given preference in the fill-
ing of vacancies in the government sew
ice.
1t is stated there are probably three
or four hundred clerks who stand high
on civil service registers. They have
taken examinations since they entered
the census office. and in several hun
dred cases are rated well, with the
probability Of being certified to depart
ments in the course of a short time
The order of the President simply
means. it was explained last night. that
where a census Office clerk is certified
to q department for appointment his
or her name is to have preference with
the heads of departments over the
other two certifcations, unless the
two also are census Office clerks and
entitled to the same preference.
Just how many clerks may be cared
or in this way in the course of six
months is not known, although gov
eminent vacancies in the city probably
will not avera more than few hum
dred in that time.
