Temptation.

No matter how we may safeguard
ourselves, there is no one of us who is
free from those sudden rushes of temp
tation which at times seem almost un-
comfortable, at well as inexplicable.
Perhaps they are revolts of nature,
scorning restraint and violently self
asserting. Nearly always they are re-
lated to the egotism that, in it's subor-
dination to social law, often feels itself
limited and irritated. They ought to
make us more patient with one an
other. Each day they give us lessons
in humility. 1t is perhaps due to our
egotism that SO many of these lessons
are lost. We cannot reflect too often
on the speech that moved Wesley to
say, as a prisoner passed him bearing
the insignia of his disgrace: There,
but for the grace Of God, goes John
Wesley"
Such an attitude is in itself a beau
tiful perquisite.-From "Intimations,"
by John d. Barry.

Terranln Catches Hawk.

Edwin Lowe, son of Edwin Lowe Of
Mcdaniel, Talbot county, Md, exhib-
tied recently a young chicken hawk
that he and his father had captured
after it had been trapped by a COM
mon land terrapin.
Mr.. Lowe and his son we're walking
in the road neal Mcdaniel Tuesday
morning when they saw the hawk hop
ping along in the road with something
hanging to 1t.
Thinking the bird had been wound
ed, they approached it with a view
of putting it out of misery, when they
say what was hampering its move
ments.
The hawk had evidently tried to
capture the terrapin, but was cap
tured itself, for one toe of the bird
was held tightly in the terrapin's shell.
Both hawk and terrapin were picked
up and taken to Mr.. loves home, and
it was several hours before the terra
pin released its grip.-New York Sun.

Free Text Law Neglected.

Jefferson City.-Only four school
districts in Missouri have taken ad-
vantage of the law enacted by the
last legislature authorizing the people
of any school district to furnish free
textbooks to the children, according
to Supt. William P. Evans.
The districts which have adopted
free textbooks, which saves parents
and guardians individually the cost of
books for the children, are st. Louis,
ansas City, Chillicothe and Cape Gil
,ordeau.
There will be allotted to each of
these districts from it's funds for Incl
dental purposes and from foreign in
surance taxes approximately 80 cents
for each child enumerated, which, aft
er the initial purchase, will be enough
to defray the total expenses of text
books throughout the eight grades
and the high school, Mr.. Evans says.
He says it is not too late for other
school districts to- avail themselves Of
the free textbook law. 1t provides
that the voters in the district may at
the regular annual election or at q
special election vote upon the propo-
sition of furnishing free, textbooks.

RULE SHUTS OFF .
3-CT CASH FARE
MISSOURI COMMISSION ALLOWS
ROADS TEN CENTS EXTRA
lF NO TICKET.
EXCESS BAGGACE RATE CUT
Twelve and Half Per Gent of Fare
limit for 100 Pounds Excess
Two Lines Handling Ship
ment Get Tariff.

Jefferson City.-Three important
conference rulings affecting the rail-
roads Of Missouri were adopted by the
state public service commission.
These were upon cash fare on trains.
excess baggage charges and freight
rates upon shipments of commodities
reaching their destination over two
or more lines of railroad.
Railroads are prohibited by one or
der from collecting and keeping to ex-
coed 2 cents a mile from passengers
rendering cash fare instead of tickets
upon trains.
10 compel passengers to procure
tickets before boarding trains the
railroads have adopted different plans
of penalizing those who fail to get
tickets. Some of the roads have been
charging passengers who tender cash
fare 3 cents a mile when the rate is
fixed by law at 2 cents a mile. The
commission holds that this is unlaw-
full.
The commission held in another
ruling that where two or more lines
OF railroad handle a shipment before
it reaches it's destination it must be
handled as though it reached destina-
tion over one line and the rates
charged must be the same.
Since the maximum freight law be-
came effective shippers have made
complaint that where a shipment
must go over two or move railroads to
destination that each exacts the mi
tial charge.
The commission holds this to be un-
lawful and that the second road is not
entitled to collect the charge for the
first rs miles or under.
A third ruling holds that railroads
cannot lawfully collect to exceed 1917
per cent of the price of the ticket per
100 pounds for excess baggage. Some
OF the roads have been exacting 16 2-3,
per cent! When Acknowledgement
Barker threatened to institute pro-
ceedings against them three or four
of the roads reduced their baggage
rates and filed notice of the reduction
with the commission.

Seek Man Gone 80 Years,

Jefferson City.-Mayor Cecil w.
Thomas of Jefferson City received a
communication from Ludwig Heyn Of
Darmstadt, Germany, inquiring about
Konrad Weber, formerly of Union,
Mo-, who, it seems, is entitled to a
share in an inheritance about to be
divided. The letter is addressed to
Burgomaster of Jefferson County, the
attorney or official writing the letter
apparently mistaking Jefferson u
ty for Jefferson City. Heyn stated
that August Weber, a brother of Kon-
rad, died at Union July rs, 1882, and
that Konrad left Missouri in 1883 for
Arizona, and that no further trace had
been found of him.

KLINE IS NEW YORK MAYOR
DEATH OF GAYNoR PUTS ALDER.
MAN IN THE CHAIR.
Demise Of Executive Greatly Changes
Situation in Coming Campaign
Election More Uncertain.

New York.-Adolph L. Kline, vice.
chairman of the board of aldermen,
who succeeded John Purroy Mitch
ell as president of the board of
aldermen of New York, becomes
mayor of this city by the death of
William Jay Gaynor. He is a Re-
publican and will serve until Jan. 1.
This fact, together with the re-
moyal of Gaynor as an independent
candidate for reelection, greatly
changes the political situation. 1t Is
believed generally that the removal
of Gaynor will result in a uniting of
all anti-Tammany forces in the COM
ing municipal campaign and the de-
feat of the organization candidate.
Mayor Gaynor died on the steamer
Baltic in midocean, according to a
cablegrom received here from Rufus
w. Gaynor, his son, who sailed with
the mayor.
Mayor Gaynor sailed away from
New York, a f~ast-failing man, a week
ago. An hour before he sailed but
one man, his secretary, knew of his
plans outside of members of his i'm
mediate family. The mayors IN
nounced purpose was a brief vacation
on the lei He felt that the tonic
effect Of the salt air would restore
him in some measure to health.
Although the mayor had no pre-
sentiment that his trip would end ia
tlly, he had at different times within
the last year or two told his secretary
that the violence of coughing attacks
were a great strain on his heart and
he feared that at some time or other
one of them might result seriously.

Of Mexican gun smugglers who fred

lnsuranee Men to Form Lsaaue.

Jefferson City.-A statewide meet
ing OF the citizens directly or indi-
rectly engaged or interested in the in
surance business will be held in ST.
Louis late this month to Organize the
Insurance Federation of Missouri.
The state will be divided GO dis
tricts, with a committee in a CENTRAL
town Of each to ave and ect on
complaizii and to ferret out unfair
practice among insurance men. A
special committee will be named to
keep d close eye on bills proposed in
the state legislature and endeavor to
avert their death in committees.
Missouri is the business geld of
more than 1000 o~insurance men," said
D. D. Thomas, state agent of the Ma
tional Fire of Hartford. These men
must fight the passage of drastic laws
or the plants they have built up will
crumble away. They will work for a
compensation law and for fire proven
ton measures,
"The first work of the federation
will be to launch a campaign for the
education of agents and the ~insuring
public in the unintentional secrets Of
insurance. The buyer will be told
what he may do to get insurance at
an equitable price. He will be taught
he must, in the end, pay for the
fruits of unwise laws and unfair com
petition"
The recently organized Insurance
Federation of Ohio will be taken as
one of the models. That federation
was conceived with the idea that the
interests of the policy holders, agents
and. companies are one, and that in
laboring for the interests of the pol
icy holders, the agents and companies
are doing the best for themselves"
Among the purposes of the fedora
ton will be: To establish and main
tain high, clean standards of profess
sional conduct among insurance work
ers; to eliminate and correct all evils
or abuses which may creep into the
insurance business; to educate and
inform the public as to the particular
benefit of each form of insurance; to
promote and foster a spirit of frater-
nalism and mutual helpfulness among
the insurance workers of the state
and to cooperate with the public in
the enactment and enforcement of
just and beneficial insurance laws.

MATES PRODUCTION AT

81, 100000 BUSHELS SHORT
Most 8ountifu' Wheat Harvest in His
tory Of Country Indicated, Being
100000 Bushels More Than
Great Crop Of 1901.

Washington, D. Can enormous
loss in the prospective production of
corn and indications of the biggest
wheat crop ever produced were the
feature of the governments Septem.
Der crop report.
Hot weather and drought in a num-
Der of the principal corn-growing
states during the month ending Sep
TENDER ! caused a deterioration of
corn which experts calculate has re-
suited in the loss of 321, 900, 900 bush
els, reducing the corn crop estimates
to 1851, 000,0 900 bushels. This de-
structive crop weather caused a loss
of about 3O0,O 900, 900 bushels during
July and August. The loss brought
the total up 621, 900, 900 bushels since
the first estimates of corn crop pros
poets were made by the government.
Nebraska Hard Hit.
Texas alone of the six greatest corn
growing states held her own during
August. Nebraska was the hardest
hit, the deterioration there during the
month amounting to 80 per cent,
bringing the condition of the crop to
81 per cent of a normal. The loss in
Missouri was 20 per cent, the crop
being Al per cent of a normal. Kan
a reported a condition of 10 per
cent of a normal, the lowest ever re-
corded, and a loss of 20 per cent dur
ing the month. Illinois, with the
greatest of any state planted to corn,
reported a condition of 62 per cent,
a loss of 10 per cent. Iowa reported
rs per cent, a loss of 9 per cent;
Oklahoma, SO per cent, a loss of 5
per cent.
Record Crop of Wheat.
Never before in the history Of the
country has there been such a boun-
tiful wheat harvest as has been gath
cred this year. This was due princi-
pally to the bumper crop of winter
wheat. The government estimate of
the spring wheat crop showed increas-
ed prospects for that crop, making the
total production 243, 600, 900 bushels,
or an increase of 4.3 per cent over
the August estimate. This increase
brought the estimate of total wheat
crop of the country to 754, O00, 900, or
5000, 900 more than the great record
crop of 1901.
Oats prospects, too, showed an in
crease of 81 per cen as a result of
the conditions existing during August,
and the crop now is estimated at
1,066, 900, 900 bushels, or 100000 900
more than predicted in August.
Some Crops Not Damaged.
Weather conditions during August
caused deterioration which is esti-
mated to have resulted In the loss of
ID 200, 900 bushels of potatoes, 35,000,-
600 pounds Of tobacco and 100000
tons of hay. Barley, fax and rice
seem to have escaped damaging
weather, the prospects during August
having remained unchanged.
Little relief from the continued
heat and drought is held out by the
weather bureau, which reported that
the week since the crop report was
taken was very generally n of the
warmest ever known in the cor
growing states, that little beneficial:
rain had fallen and that the evere
drought continued very general.
