The period which began in July, with an equinox of Mercury central on the 20th of that month, will reach a crisis about August 1. It will bd extremely warm, aud the oppressive heat will grow until storms of wind, thunder and heavy local falls of rein appear and usher in a cooler atmospheric condition. If no black clouds with thunder and-strominess result about 1st to 3d, the chances for insufferable heat with seismic shocks following will be greatly increased.

Storms would break the growing elee- trie tension, lessening the earthquake probabilities, but both are probable, both at the opening and closing of tl a month. The 5th and 6th will bring renewed storms, after which there is much hope of cooler days and nights until we near the storm period ceu- tral on the 11th. About the 10th the west will note growing warmth with storm indications, which conditions will increase into heavy disturbances and traverse the country from west to east by the 13th. Cooler days aud especially nights will follow up the reactionary temperature and storms 10th and lth, after which, pleasant again. From 21st to 24th another period calling for renewed heat with much tendency to storminess will fall.

1 he moon's last quarter falls in this perid, but will tend more to brii change to cooler than to excite storm phenomena. We expect much dry ness and drought generally in this month. Storms and changes will take place in regular order and some heavy rains will fall in scattering show ers, but they will be too far apart, both in distance and time, to sup ly a general sufficiency of moisture. Make timely note of this and calculate accordingly in all matters liable to suffer thereby, saving unnecessary loss and labor by so doing. As st ated above, August has a second new moon, and falling as it does on the 30th, will drag the crisis of reaction ary Btorms about 28th and 29th forward into the 3i It will grow very warm at this time and the heat will not relax until storms of lightning and thunder occur, or until earth quake phenomena distribute local electric accumulat'ons in our globe and restore the equilibrium between the earth, air and sun.

I here is al ways increased danger of destructive seismic shocks and convulsions when a long season of heat, without electric storms, leads up to or near the autumnal equinox, The Charleston earthquake is an instance within the memory of all. August ought to end in cooler pleasant weather especially the closing night. OLD RESIDENT GONE. Matlhaw Stretton Ptune Avar Into lh Mfe Ileyond. About six weeks ago The Leader told of the sad accident by which Matthew Stretton was prostrated, the result of a fall which owing to his being an invalid and in advanced years, was more serious than it other wise would have been.

Since that time Mr. Stretton was confined to his brd and at 12:30 m. Friday he died, lhis will be sad news to the old residents of Davenport and the hosts of other friends in this city, of which the dwenseu ha been a re ppected for almost forty years. Matthew Stretton was born Feb, 24. 1820.

in Quebec, Canada, his farher, John Stretton, being sergeant of the Seventy-Sixth Scotch Highlanders, who served under tbe Duke of Wellington at the great battle of Waterloo. He came to Davenport from Toronto, where he spent his early youth, Mr. Stretton taught school here for a time, being a man of good education, with a knowledge of both the Latin and Spanish languages. He was also well versed in nrisic and used to sing bass in St. Anthony's church choir in the olden days, hen the revered Father Pela-morgues, who was a warm friend of Mr.

Stretton, presided over over the destinies of that congregation. Later Mr. Stretton became a contractor and during the civil war one of his contracts was the building of the big levee at Milliken's Bend in Louisiana. Just after the war he was elected city marshal, and although it was a troublous time, when the returning soldiers were followed up by disorderly hangers on, he made a fearless and successful official. He was afterwards for many years city sealer of weights and measures.

Of late years, owing to poor health, he was unable to engage in any occupation. Mrs. Stretton, to whom he was married in Canada, died about 25 years ago. There survive to mourn the loss of Mr. Stretton, six children, Mrs.

Julia Gottschalk living iu New York, John of Chicago, Mn. Annie Otis of Chicago, Peter 11. of Davenjiort, Matthew a city detec tive in ChicRgo, and Frank on the Cincinnati Euquirer staff. THE HARRIEO LIST. Sine the last report the following licenses have been issued by Clerk Ballufl: Uenry C.

Mr. Tissera is a finely educated gentleman, polished in manner and speech, and is taking great interest in fully acquainting himself with American people and their forms of social, economical and political government. Burlington Journal. HOT TI ES AT WALCOTT. Davenport Leadeb: Walcott for some time past has been the scene of great excitement.

For many months past the school house question has been agitating the minds of the citizens. Various means have been adopted towards the erection of one but in all cases only to be met with many objections on the part of opponents. The public park or square has been the proposed site, the most beautiful in town, one which costs practically nothing and in every way suitable for tbe purpose, but the opponents of the plan, find a flaw, even though it be ever so small, have grasped at it, and thus attempt to throw overboard the one thing our town has needed for many years past. Incorporation and finally a decision by election seemed our last resort whereby to obtain a clear title for the site and this it seems is the foundation for all that is now transpiring. The incorporation election was held on July 7th, being carried by a large majority and undoubtedly the celebration thereof, for every modern form was brought into active practice, will long linger in the minds of our Walcott citizen and the impression on the rising generation will not soon be forgotten.

On July 21st a Demo cratic caucus for the nomination of city officers resulted as follows: Wm. Schwarting Mayor. Henry Kohl Recorder. Board of Trustees Dr. Carl Hin-riehs, Claus Ruge, Alex Stockdale, John Stouffer, Thos.

Byrnes, Wm. Behrens. The caucus was declared illegal, for reasons unknown, and on the fol lowing day notices were posted by both parties for a caucus to be held July 24th, '94, at the school house for the formation of other tickets. At. about 7 m.

the citizens began to assemble, heated discussion being indulged in by the more ardent sup porters of the different candidates, until called to order at about i :30 m. The selection of a chairman ocv cupied considerable time, owing to the nomination of four candidates of whom Mr. Dietz was finally declared elected though an opposite claim found supporters. The unanimous choice for secretary was Henry Kohl. On motion the chairman was instructed to appoint a committee of three on nominations, those appointed being L.

isenewitz, Dr. V. 1. Chinn and Albert Werner who reported the fol lowing candidates: Mayor L. Benewitz.

Recorder Chas. Emler. Trustees John Strueben, William Mann, T. II. Koenke, Albert Werner, Henry Brugman, m.

Schwarting, The report of the above names met with much dissatisfaction, owing to the stand taken by the majority of them in the recent incorporation elec tion and school house question, to which they were strongly opposed, Objections were made by prominent citizens on the above grounds. Par liamentary forms were ignored and the subsequent scenes beggar dis-cription. The report was rejected and other nominations were made, ine aoove named ticket was re-nom inated with few exceptions for trustee. Excitement was now at its height and opprobrious epithets were promiscuously used and a general lracas seemed imminent. Ibis concluded the ceremonies of the opposing party, and another caucus was immediately held to elect candidates on the Independent ticket.

II. H. Sindt was the unanimous choice for chairman, and II. Kohl was again called on to officiate as secretary. Matters now took a more harmonious course and the following nomination were made: Mayor Wm.

Schwarting. Recorder II. Kohl. Trustees Dr. Hendr'cks, Dr.

Byrne, John Stouffer, T. H. Koenke, Claus Ruge, Wm. Behrens. The meeting adjourned at about 9:30, but at this writing excitement is still at a fever heat.

Let it be hoped that our future meetings will be conducted in a more harmonious manner and with due regard for parliamentary rules. Oxe Who Was Theiie. bi i.t-MosT eoi.n. The tri-city pacingfavorite Bull-mont who won a big purse at Detroit last week has been sold to a Chicago horseman named Dickerson for $2,000. Theodore Steugel says that although in the four years he has been part owner of the pacer he had paid his own way and made money tor his owners, yet he was convinced that a man who was not engaged in the business had no business keeping a racing horse.

The finance committee of the city council have been auditing the books of the city treasurer, city clerk and hit nolWinr. hoinir it rpcrnlar nna.r terly duty. erers. "If people would just remember that flour would extinguish brazing gasoline the knowledge would be inestimable," said a man of the house. "The other day the tank of our gasoline stove as blazing.

Wet clothes were used without "effect when I remembered that I had heard that fire would extinguish the blaze. A hand ful did almost put it out and another auffed it completely." Last week was full of accidents. Every day there was a mishap by which some one was either maimed or killed. Friday Eddie Meinert, the 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Claus Meinert, 420 Alma avenue, fell rom a fence and broke his arm. Sat urday Joe Williams, the engineer at the Tri-City packing house, lost the first finger of his right hand while cleaning the machinery. Several weeks ago the manage ment of the American Express company sent out a circular announcing to its employes that there would be a reduction of 10 per cent in wages on the hrst of August, lesterday a second circular was issued announcing that the proposed reduction would not go into ettect as contemplated. This is a welcome announcement to the thousands of employes of this corporation. Geo.

8, the date for the Retail Merchant association picnic. The signers are in all lines of busi ness, wholesale and retail, express companies, etc. Word has been re ceived from nock Island that the merchants over there will take similar action. It is evident the picnic will 1 be a grand success. I "The Mississippi Valley Spiritual ists' association held their first meeting of the season Sunday, at their beautiful camp grounds on the bluff west of Clinton.

Wednesday Deputy Sheriff Wold-enberg went to Marsballtown and brought back W. R. Sanford a young insurance agent for a Clinton insurance company. Sanford is accused of embezzling $04.75 from the Tenn Mutual Life Insurance company, W.

George M. Curtis is out in an interview with the Clinton Herald of Saturday evening stating positively that he is not a candidate for the Republican congressional nomination in this district, and that he would not accept the nomination if the convention which meets in this city next Wednesday would nominate him by acclamation. As Mr. Curtis was the onlv other Republican apart from Seth Baker of Bellevue, who had not yet definitely declined to be a candidate, it begins to look as if the party in the Second district will have to be satisfied with a nominal nominee. A new $20 counterfeit note hes been placed in circulation but it is declared not to be a dangerous one.

It is on the National bank of Barre, Vt, charter number 2,109, check letter bank number 1,980, treasury number 50,225 and is signed by forgery of the names of John Allison, register, and F. E. Spinner, treasurer. It is executed in pen and ink, and is very poorly done, the letters being crude and out of alignment. The word "twenty" appears but twice iu the small panels, while the genuine has four panels each inclosing the word "twenty." The vignettes are poor and all the lettering on the back of the genuine is absent in the counterfeit.

Revenue Collector Staekhouse, who is on the. Des Moines county delegation to the Btate convention, has finished the business with his first term of the federal court and made a record of convictions in boot-logging cases that shows up well for economy and careful attention to duty in his department.
