WEATHER PROPHETS.
Sympathies With Hicks When He
Disputes Washington Authorities.

Weather prophesying being such an
.inexact science. we are all justified
in irving our prentice hand at it, if
we like. Until some great discovery
has been made in this mysterious
realm. verified and charted, who may
not be a Columbus sailing N an un-
explored sea? Therefore our SYM
pathies are with DR.. Irl Hicks, when
he disputes with learned men at
Washington their statement that, the
moon aud the planets do not affect
earthly phases of the weather. So
long as nobody knows what does af-
feet the mundane performances of the
elements, and the best promises are
scareceIv more definite than Ike output
of the Deiphic and Dordonian oraclcs,
no one can very conscientiously pick
faults il any one else's theory, says

CHAUTAUQUA NOTES.

DR.. Gunsaulus, as president Of the
Armour institute, receives salary OF
$4,000 year. But he gives it away.
Living unpretentiously he has little
use for money. He prides himself on
forsetfulness, and seldom does he
recognize a man of short acquaint-
ance. The doctor has helped many
young men, both financially and other
wise. He is probably one Of the most
eloquent and inspirational orators in
this county today, his discourses on
all occasions being eXtemporaneous.
That his lecture in Dallas was a dis
appointment to many Of his hearers
may have been due to the fact that
he was suffering severely from rheu-
matism while here.
DIR. McLaren left yesterday after
having spent Il week in Dallas with
the chautauqua. DR.. McLaren' S work
was so well received at Red Bluffs,
California, chautauqua that he was
voted the first attraction of the en-
tire program. This was no small com
pliment when it is considered that
the names and attractions on that pro-
gram made it one of the strongest
chautauquas on this coast.
Those persons who contributed
beautiful flowers during the chautau-
qua have the sincere thanks of the
management.
DIR. Green is a cOnversationalist of
no mean ability. But like all other
well informed men he rides a hobby
that hobby is peace.

STILL WATCHFULLY WAITING
President Wilson Believes Mediation
Accomplishes Good.

After a conference with Secretary
Bryan, President Wilson authorized
the statement that the Mexican sit
uation was as favorable as it can
be until the Mexican factions get to-
gether. Further, the president re-
fused TO discuss the Mexican situa-
tion. While no statement was made
at the white house regarding the re-
cess of the mediation conference, of
ficials close to the president said he
was very hopeful that Huerta, Car
rama and Villa would agree on a
definite plan for settling the internal
affairs of Mexico. The president still
is hopeful that mediation will bring
about peace and he believes that it
already has accomplished much good.

SIXTEEN CASES
IN CITY COURT
LAZ POWELL WILL HAVE TO AN
SWER TO THE COUNTY COURTS
FOR HIS ALLEGED MIsDEEOs IN
THE LATE PAST.

Sixteen cases were docke.ed for
trial in the city court yesterday morn
ing, the fines aggregating $25. One
case was turned over to the county au-
thorfties, one case was mol pressed and
one continued.
Lag Powell, the negro who faced
half a dozen charges, was the star at
traction. He was charged with dis
charging firearms in the city limits,
assault with 8. knife. fighting and be-
ing q dangerous and suspicious char
acter. No testimony was heard in the
case, and he was bound over to the
county authorities. From an attempt
ed explanation in Justifying his past
actions, the court got the idea that he
was trying to appear not responsible
for his past misdeeds.
Henry Graves, an autoist, was be-
fore the court on two charges. He
was charged with driving his machine
reck1essly and also with operating an
automobile without having a license
number attached thereto. His case
went over.
