After Years of Strife.

But the hold of the TeutOn was
so firm that the Slavs were held
back in eastern Europe. especial
ly in Russia, and were prevented
from acquiring the advantages
that were seized by those who
had preceded them. Thus, as
historian has said, the Celts were
unfortunate in that they came
too early. and were unable thor
oughly to establish themselves
before they were pushed out by
the Teutons. while. on the other
hand, the Slavs were unfortunate
in coming too late, for they found
the land occupied by a powerful
race with which they could not
contend.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN, supposed to

The heavy interurban crashed into
the lighter trolley, smashing the rear

ing Post.1
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE stock
market was more cheerful today and
most Of the active stocks showed fair
advances. The news in general was
calculated to help sentiment and to-
wards the close, trading was fairly ac-
tive on the advance, News from the
corn country told of good rains over
a fairly broad area; though thus far
mostly outside of the section where
the drought is more severe. The grain
markets in the west were more or less
excited and heavy buying of corn fol-
lowed the larger offerings during the
early trading at Chicago Here the
prices of both wheat and corn were
lower for the day. Deliveries OF grain
from the farms to the interior points
again broke all records during the
week just closed for the season. They
showed an increase of 100000 bush
els over the total for the preceding
week. Announcements of terms of Of
fer Of Southern Pacific stock to
stockholders of Union Pacific was well
received by the market The fact
that the arrangement would be pro-
tected by strong syndicate was the
feature which attracted most atten-
ton. The terms of the offer followed
largely the plan already outlined Both
the stocks advanced sharply after the
news came out and were strong fea-
lures at the close The indications
pointed to a distribution of public
deposits before the week was ont.
Many banks in sections where the
money will be placed have already se-
cured the collateral required by the
government.

1t seems that the bending backbone
of the drought was at last fractured to
some extent by the gentle rain which
began to fall last night or early this

on the roof Or tapping refreshing
strain on the window pane was reviv-
ing even to hot-weather dream.
There will be some grumbling, how
ever. because some people will de-
clare that we didn't get half enough
to supply the needs of the spindling
corn. In such cases as that the story
invariably comes to mind OF the little
darkey with his ragged umbrella and
sensible rebuke to the weather grum-
blers:
de kind of weather what is, is de
kind of weather you're gwine to git"
1t will help corn; it will help the
pastures-corn will make meat, and
pastures will make milk and butter.
1t will be wonderful help to toma-
toes for canning and cucumbers for
pickling; 1t will enhance fruit pros
poets and the melon crops In fact
1t will be Of much benefit to late
crops of many kinds which furnish
food for man and beast 1t is an old
and trite saying that small favors
are thankfully received" and let it be
SO in this case, without the slightest
grumbling comment.

AN ECONOMIC QUESTION
Idle Rich and Idle Poor Comprise
Majority Of Drunkards.

Mason City, Iowa.-"We here In
the United States had Just as well
face the fact one time az another
that the liquor problem will never be
solved until it Is solved on an eco
nomic basis and according to the
scientific principles of life," declared
Mrs. Kate Richards o'Hare, the tenn
perance lecturer, at the Christian
church here.
Mrs. O'Hare declared that sociolo-
g1sts have found by experiments COW
ering many years that vast major
ity OF drunkards are those who are
either idle poor or idle rich Over
drinking, she believes, is TO be found
IN the two extremities Of life. She
does not approve Of the churches be-
ing open only few hours each week
and says that men will always con-
tinue to frequent saloons for their
company as long as the church pays
as little attention to the working
mans social attractions as it does
today.
1t is doubted that if all the "a
looms In the land could be eliminated
at one time that temperance condi-
tions would be better than they are
today. For centuries back man has
been accustomed to stimulants and
when liquor is removed he will take
TO drugs or something stronger than
liquor unless temperance work is d.
rected at the drfnker rather than the
liquor traffic.

Business.
Marriage license, 81.

Marriage license, 81.
This was the new sign hung out by
9. M. Hart, clerk of the district court,
this morning. The clerk dealt the
high cost of marriage a body blow
when he lowered the price, and Incl
dentally he complies with the law
The charge here has been $1.5o.
Relying upon section of the Iowa
code which gives the cost of mar
riage licenses at 81 the clerk decided
that would be the price here.
There has been difference OF opin-
ion as to the proper charge.
There is some conjecture as to
whether OF not the clerk was animat-
ed by mere desire to comply with
the law. There has not been a mar
riage license issued for four days and
there have been few during the last
month. 1t is suspected that Clerk
Hart Is making the bargain price to
induce business. In fact, he says that
If the lowering of the price is not suff-
cient inducement he may be forced to
| give away premium of some kind. 1t
is also possible that he intended to
eliminate the recurrence of a recent
incident when a prospective BRIDE
groom had to postpone his marriage
because the license fee was a little
beyond him.
There are about four hundred mar
rage licenses issued at the local
court house year and Keokuk has
come to be favorite point for bride
grooms from nearby towns in three
states. The county has been enriched
several hundred dollars as a result of
the overcharge and it is thought pos
sible that some disgruntled bride
groom might attempt to secure a re-
fund.
The next man who will buy mar.
riage license will get the reduced
price and in honor of the occasion the
license may be tied with fancy rib
mons. A rush is expected at once
