Weather Conditions

Birmingham, September 27.-G p. m.)
An extensive area OF high barometric
pressure overlies almost the entire coun-
try on tonight's map, and, as the result.
fair weather has prevailed over the
greater portion of the country during the
past "a hours. The only rain area em-
braces the southern half OF the plains
states. the lower mississippi valley and
Texas. Cloudy skies have been general
over the Central Gulf stateG and the
lower Missouri valley. s>~.
Because of the slight change in baro-
metric conditions within the past "a hours,
there has been general rise in tens
peratures in most sections of the coun-
try, and the few stations in the lower
Missouri valley that, report a fall are
influenced by local conditions generally.
In the cotton belt, temperatures have
risen about two degrees in all sections
Rain has continued over all districts
west of the Mississippi river, while
cloudy skies extend over the central
states.

At that time the late J, Clinton Shepard was lieutenant of the local police Yes, the same Shepard with the long whiskers, who was so many years a, private night watchman in the business centre of the city. He took on the Imposed task to ferret the murder and to bring the murderer to justice and he did: Officer Shepard attended to his regular duties on the police force, for in those days the lieutenant had to take his trick at patrol duty, and worked the murder case besides. He lost much sleep in one of the best pieces of detective work ever hauled off by any local officer, for within a month after the murder he had the murderer under arrest and back in New London and had secured ample evidence to con- vict Shepard traced the murderer step by step and finally located him at work in a shop in Worcester.

Dwight F. steere who was sentenced to state prison for the murder of Frederick White in New London nearly forty years ago, died Tuesday in that institution, where his record was not of the best having made several intellectual attempts at escape and grossly violated the prison rules The murder occurred away back in the days when the steamer Plymouth Rock, with the chime bells, the choir boys, and all that were excursion at fractions Special trains were run for the accommodation of patrons, and among those who came from Worcester to go on one of those eX- cursions were Dwight Steere and his chum Frederick White. On the return trip, Steere lured White to the Old Colt wharf and there, on a pile of lumber stabbed him to death and robbed. taking his money and watch, the time piece subsequently figuring in the evidence of his guilt. After the murder, Steere went to the old city hotel, the site of the present Cronin building and spent the night there, leaving New London on an early train and the murder was not known until several hours after his departure, and at that time, Steere was not suspected of the crime.

l know of little farm of less than sixty acres In New York state which is bringing in it's owner an average of more than $2,5o0 a year from wheat, potatoes and clover. When he took it the best its best acre would do was less than a hundred bushels of pota- toes and it wouldn't produce wheat enough to pay for harvesting. Now 1t yields regularly about three hum dred bushels of potatoes and from thirty to forty bushels of wheat per acre. When the present owner took it it couldn tpay it's own taxes: now it maintains 8 family, pays the farmer good wages, keeps 8 hired man all the year round and extra help in harvest time, maintains four horses and other stock, and, after doing all this, pays something like fourteen per cent in terest per annum on the original in vestment and the cost of all subse- quent improvements.

 I don't know, but I believe that nine out of ten of us could raise all the corn and oats and such like crops that our farm needs demand And that we could raise them cheaper than we can buy them.
 3ut it is more than likely that we couldn't do it. just by initiating the methods of our grandfathers. That they failed and had to stop suggests to me that their methods were wrong, not that the soil had become unfit.

The time limit for candidates for political offices and the treasurers and chairman of committees is drawing near, and according to some of the statements filed men who were candi- dates for some of the offices permitted the other fellow to pay the freight. There is legitimate expenses con- nected with all elections and the candidates for the offices are supposed. to chip in to meet the legitimate transactions in connection with the election. There are too many of the class of candidates who pose as lead CTS of parties. or rather sections of parties, ever ready to accept office but who never come across with the coin and thereby help maintain the party work It is really amusing to read over the reports that are filed with the town clerk as it demon strates very clearly that old truism: Talk is cheap, but Il takes money to buy" In the list of reports that of d candidate for the office of cOmmis- sioner of town deposit fund on the democratic ticket was just 9 trit1e out of the ordinary, He reported No transac actions" This is phrase with which he is very familiar as he used is many times in the return of blanks while he held a highsal- aried position under 8 national dem oeratic administration. In the days gone by he was the recipient of con- siderable coin by reason of the as- tendency of the democratic party, and as the gentleman has the faculty of holding tight to his money and there fore has some at hand, it would seem but fair that he loosen up just a little bit to help pay the party bills. Were he a republican he would de so cheer fully and without solicitation, but democratic office seekers as a rule are too poor to pay OF are noted tight wads
 There Is exception to all rules, how ever, and it is noted that at least one democrat, a poor one. financially, at that. has for years been a generous contributor to all campaign funds considering his means That man is George Goss who is now asking at the hands of his party a local posi- tion which he has previously satisfac- torily filled and is thoroughly compe- tent to fill again. He was candidate for town clerk in the recent election and made liberal party contribution, just as he does when he has no per sonal interest in the election and this he has done continuously for the past ten years and more in the local-state and general elections. Tn the last election he not only contributed more than his equal share to the party fund, but sacrificed himself in for lorn hope for the benefit of his party for without the sacrifice the voters of the party would not have the priYi- lege to vote for a party nominee. AS far as being a party supporter, MT. Goss ranks high above any of the candidates that are out for the offices in the gift of the democratic majority of the court of common council, and is entitled to party recognition
