St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 22.—My
last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent
from Sept. 20 to 24 and the next
will reach the Pacific coast about
the 24th, cross the western moun-
tains by the close of the 25th, the
great central valleys from the 27th
to 28th and the eastern states about
the 29tli.
This disturbance will be of more
than usual force and will develop
its greatest energy east of the
Mississippi. It will probably be
accompanied by destructive storms
and followed by killing frosts, the
latter north of latitude 88.
The first October storm wave
will reach the Pacific coast about
Sept. 80, cross the western moun-
tains by the close of Oct. 1, the
great central valleys from the 2d
to 4th and the eastern states about
the 5th.
General rains may be expected
from the two storm waves men-
tioned above.
Warm waves will cross the west-
ern mountains about Sept. 24 and
30, the great central valleys Sept.
20 and Oct. 2 and the eastern
states about Sept. 28 and Oct. 4.
Cool waves will cross the west-
ern mountains al>ont Sept. 27 and
Oct. 3, the great central valleys
Sept. 29 and Oct. 5 and the east-
ern states Oct. 1 and 7.
My calculations for October are
not complete, but indications are
for warm, dry weather in the up-
per Mississippi and Missouri val-
leys—north of St. Louis; warm
weather with average tain in the
Ohio valley and Tennessee, and
warm, dry weather in the eastern
staceo.
notes.
In southern central India a dis-
trict of about 01,000 square miles
—about 250 miles square—was,
many years ago, covered with a
dense forest and the rainfull was
heavy. Then the forest was cut
off and the rainfall decreased. As
the forest grew up again the
weather records of the distiict
show that the rainfall largely in-
creased.
Drouths had ruined the crops in
the lower Nile river of Eeypt.
Sixty years ago the authorities
planted millions of trees, caused
them to be cultivated and cared
for, and as the new forests grew the
rains increased.
The forests in the upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys are be-
ing rapidly destroyed. This will
greatly aid in bringing drouth and
will cause an expansion of the arid
districts.
Unless the destruction of the
forests in and near the Rooky
mountains is stopped and the
trees permitted to grow, there will
soon be no water with which to
irrigate the arid countries.
In these weather bulletins the
term "western mountains" has
reference to the country lying west
of the Rocky mountain crest; great
central valleys cover the country
between the crests of the Rocky
ind Allegany mountains, includ-
ing Mississippi and Alabama; the
eastern states all east of the Alle-
gany crest, including the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida.
St. Vincent, in Northwestern
Minnesota, is the coldest place in
he United States, except the tops
of a few mountain peaks.
The soil breathes air. While
the high barometer is passing the
air is heavier and is forced into
1 he soil and when the low barome-
ter passes the presure being less
jermits the air to exude from the
soil. These occur at from three to
eight days apart and might be
compared with the long breaths of
animals. The shorter baromertic
changes occur daily.
The moon is gaining time and
astronomers can not account for
it. {.If they will start right
they might come out right in their
conclusions. The moon is not a
piece of the earth as they suppose,
reasoning from the nebular theory
basis, but was a comet and collid-
ed with the earth. The attenuat-
ed matter—lighter than the atmos-
phere— surrounding the earth
and revolving with it at great ele-
vations is the force that causes the
moon to revolve around the earth
and as that matter moves faster
than the moon the latter very
naturally increases in velocity and
will continue to do so until its ve-
locity and the force of the earth's
surrounding elements are equal-
ized. If the moon had originated
from the earth its velocity wonld
at first have been equal to the
earth's rotation velocity and would
now be losing time, but as it was
a foreign substance and came into
the earth's electrosphere like a
meteor, it requires time for it to
take op the motion of the earth's
envelope.
A gill of salt water becomes
thirty gallons of vapor when evap-
orated. Water, therefore, ex-
pands 960 volumes by evaporation
of hydrogen gas. The volume of
gold is increased 240,000 times by
evaporation to the density of
hydrogen. The ether of space is
immensely more expanded or at-
tenuated than hydrogen gas. In
these expansions and condensa-
tions lie all the secrets of motion,
world building and life.
In the limitless depths of space
there probably are decaying sys-
tems, but in this universe of ours—
this cluster of stars reaching fur-
ther into space than the ken of our
most powerful telescope—con-
densation, the building of worlds,
is the universal rule. Continents
are denuded and the debris forms
new continents in the oceans.
Analogous to this there may be
decaying universes, far out in the
dark depths of space that are tro-
ing to decay, the debris of which
is carried to our cluster by the
currents of the ether of space.
Does the sap in trees ever rise
or is that which makes the sap re-
ceived from the atmosphere through
the leavest If the sap never rises
and is not gathered by the roots
moisture is necessary in order to
keep the electric currents in con-
nection with good conductors. If
you want to heal a bruise on a
tree place a wfre around it, below
the bruise, so tightly as to sink
the wire into the bark. This will
usually heal it. If the sap rises it
would appear necessary to place
the wire above the bruise, but that
will not heal the tree.

Emory, Tex., Sept. 21.—Hon.
A. R. Cornelius, editor of the
Rains County Sentinel, a populist
paper published at this place, and
secretary of the executive commit-
tee of the populist party of Rains
county, and also the nominee of
the populist ticket for county at-
torney of this county, through an
editorial in his paper today tend-
ers his resignation as secretary of
the populist ticket and announces
that hereafter his paper will be
run strictly in the interest of dem-
ocracy. The announcement is as
follows:
Emory, Tex., Sept. 19, 1894.—
j Io the populisms of county:
1 hereby tender to you my
nation as secretary of the execu-
tive committee of the populist
party of Rains county, and also
withdraw from the race for county
attorney 011 your ticket. My reas-
ons for so doing are doing are
that I have become thoroughly
convinced that your party is
ephemeral, an upheaval of the
times and a refuge for every crank
who is the advocate of every
"ism" that can be conceived by
human imagination that if the
party was placed in power it
would divide up into factions,
each faction wanting to slap a
statutory mustard plaster on every
spot that developed an ache or a
weakness. Each faction would
have its favorite remedy, be it
herb or pill or plaster, and would
discredit the faith of euery one
who would not accept their pre-
scription instanter. The party
has already demonstrated its in-
ability to govern wisely wherever
and whenever it has had opportu-
nity, even in a precinct or county.
Our own county is a fair sample
of populistic government.
The party is a conglomerated
mass of putrefaction, sloughed off
from every political party, which
promises everything to everybody
and nothing to nobody. In 1891
we enlisted in the cause of popu-
lism and since that time we leave
it with our friends to say whether
or not we ever turned back to the
foe or flinched beneath the fire of
the enemy. But we have come to
the river—we're going across. We
have many tried and true trends
in the populist party in this coun-
try that we hate to leave behind,
friends from whom we would take
the last nicket from our pocket to
accommodate. The night of tron
ble can never grow dismal enough
nor dark enough, the clouds of ad-
versity can never rise fierce enongh
nor black enough, the keen arrows
of slander can never tiy thick
enough nor swift enough that a re-
quest for help from them would
not receive a hearty response from
us, but politically we must bid
them adieu. We are going to a
party in which ignorance is not a
premium, honesty not at a dis-
count and the intellect not a slave.
We are going to the party founded
by our fathers and supported by
the greatest statesmen and wisest
philosophers of the age. Here
after wherever the flag of democ-
racy floats there we will be found,
fighting beneath its folds for indi-
vidual freedom and equality be-
fore the law. Come, boys, go
with us into the party of our fath
ers that has stood the storms of
vilest calumny for more than
century and yet bears the arma
ment of true political economy.
The old flag of truth ia floating
proudly from her masthead, her
crew is singing loudly and bar
moniously together and she is
coming into the harbor with the
doves of sweet peace resting on
her bosom. Join with us, boys!
Leave the sinking ship of popu-
lism ! Let us nail to the mast the
holy flag of true democracy with
deck room for Charlie Culberson
and his gallant crew of heroes and
patriots and we can safely leave
all else to the god of storms, the
lightning and the breeze.
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 21.—A
Commercial-Gaeelte special from
Lexington, Ky., says:
Desha Breckinridge had a sen-
sational altercation with James
Duane Livingstone, formerly of
New York city, in the Phoenix
hotel at 5:30 this evening. Liv-
ingstone was standing at the news
and cigar stand reading an after-
noon paper, when Desha Breckin-
ridge came in and bought a pack-
age of cigarettes. Livingstone
spoke to Desha and extended his
hand saying, "It is all over now;
we ought to be friends. Shake
hands."
Breckinridge, with an angry
00k on his face, replied: "No,
you one horse scoundrel, I will
not take your hand. You profess
;o be a man's friend and then stab
lim in the back."
Livingstone replied to this by
saying he had done nothing of the
rind, when Breckinridge called
lim a liar. Then Livington struck
at Desha and knocked his glasses
off, following this up with a blow
on the neck. Desha reached for
lis hippocket and instantly flash-
ed in the air the long bright blade
of a big dirk. Both men were
pale as death. Livingtone, in a
moment of desperation, grabbed at
the glittering blade which Breck-
inridge had aimed at his heart.
The knife went between the sec-
ond and third fingers of Living-
stone's right hand, cutting the
third finger to the bone. The cold
steel sent a shudder through Liv-
ingstone's frame, and he grasped
lis right hand with his left in or-
der to stop the terrible flow of
alood that was dyeing the tiling of
he lobby. Desha Breckinridge
seemed to want no more blood and
?avc" T(ivjntrStone two strong
ticks.
The hotel clerk ai^ci Qpxrpfjji by-
standers rushed in and seized
Breckiuridne, and at the same in-
stant Matt Lane, a strong^Breck-
inridge man, ran up and said he
would take a hand in helping
Desha. Two witnesses say that
Lane also flouaished a big knife,
but Lane denies this. Living-
stone was hurried into the wash-
room, where his wounds were
rnthed and he was then taken to
the office of a physician, where
lis hand was dressed. A friend
uhen took Livingstone home in a
buggy and Desha Breckinridge
went to his rooms across the
street.
Just before the trouble occurred
with Livingstone Desha and Lane,
who were walking up Main street
in front of the Breckinridge head-
quarters, met Judge Kinkead,
who made several speeches during
the campaign, denouncing Colonel
Breckinridge in the most scathing
termB. Desha Breckinridge said
to Judge Kinkead that the election
was over and he wanted to tell
lim that he was a liar. He also
applied several vile epithets to the
u'lge, who replied that he was un-
armed and did not want to have
any difficulty on the open streets.
Desha told him to go and arm
limself and he would meet him
anywhere at any time. He repeat-
ed this several times.
Then Lane, who is a compara-
tive stranger in Lexington, having
recently come here from Mount
Sterling, said, addressing the
judge: "So this is Judge Kin-
kead, is it! WThen you said that

MAX ROY.
Judge Kinkead again said that
he wanted no trouble on the street,
and that he was not armed, when
Lane threw his coat back and said
that he was not armed eithr, and
then repeated the language that
he had previously used to the
judge. Kinkead then walked out
on the street toward his home.
When seen by a reporter Lane
said: "Yes, I called him a
and I will fight him any way
he wants to fight; and what's more,
if any of his friends want to take
it np, I wll fight them, too."
By this time a number of strong
Owens men, one at least of whom
has already killed his man, began
to crowd into the lobby of the ho-
tel. One of Colonel Breckin-
ridge's friends, fearing that there
would be trouble with Lane, got
J. Breckinridge Viley, a strong
Breckinridge supporter, to go in
and persuade him to leave the ho-
tel. At firstLane declined to go
but after taking a drink with
Viley He listened to the latter's
advice and went home.
Then the Owens men began to
talk, and one of them, who has the
reputation of not knowing what
fear is, said: "If Desha Breckin-
ridge and his friends intend to ex-
terminate all the men who worked
for Owens, as they seem to want to
do, they will have to enlarge the
cemetery. This sort of thing won't
J. D. Livingstone is a man of
about 30 years, and is the financial
agent of J. Kennedy Tod. He
was a strong Owens man and
worked night and day for the vic-
torious candidate. He is from
New York city, and it is said that
he there belonged to Tammany.
WThen seen by our correspond-
ent, while his wound was being
dressed, he said: "I took Desha's
abuse and made no attempt to re-
sent it until he called me a liar.
Then I had to hit him. I think I
saved myself from a fatal stab by
grabbing his knife."
Judge Kinkead is the great
grandson of Isaac Shelby, the first
governor of Kentucky, and is a
first cousin of John T. Shelby,
Colonel Breckinridge's law part-
ner, who slapped Attorney John-
son in the face during the famous
Pollard trial. Judge Kinkead is
about 42 years old. He has al-
ways been considered a man of
the highest personal conrage, and
everybody expects that more blood
will be shed befo/e this trouble i~
over.
