As THERE is no one protesting against a street fair this year it is not at all likely that Crawfordsville will have one.

ORVILLE C. JARVIS is perfectly willing to oompare tax receipts with those interested parties in the sheriffalty contest who insist that he has not property interest in the matter.
WHILE the rainfall during the past few days has been very heavy there has not been too much. The ground has been receiving a soaking that will insure good fall pasturage and late vegetables.
PARKS MARTIN is to be retained on the state board of tax commissioners. This preferment will not enhance his popularity in the Democratic party, but Martin will have as solace the thought that he was a dead one politically in anv event.
SINCE
the breaking of the drought in
this county farmers come forward who say that the corn crop will be greatly benefited by the rain. To be sure many fields on the high clay lands were gone past salvation, but corn on other lands was greatly benefited.
ANENT the coming Knights Templar conclave the Louisville Times remarks: Even the Crusaders had unworthy camp-followers, and it will be well to keep doors locked and hands on wallets while the Templars are our guests next week. Anything in town they •want is theirs without the asking. But there is no need to enrich by carelessness the crooks who will come unde.cover of the crosB.
THE government bureau's report of a 54 per cent, corn crop will have to be materially raised. The good rains through the west have resulted in a wonderful change in the talk of a corn crop and it is now conceded that in the great corn states there will be a very fair yield. Still the nation's crop will be several hundred millions of bushels ehort.
IT is up to those who sneer at the weather bureau whenever it falls down in predicting the weather from day to day to give it credit for having saved many thousands, possibly millions of dollars worth of property in New Orleans and Mobile, by its timely warning of the approach of last week's tropical hurricane, not to mention the saving of human life. There isn't the slightest doubt that the weather bureau by its storm warnings alone saves each year many times its cost.
THE statistics of the native popula tion of Hawaii for the last half century presentlan interesting study, showing a decrease so large and steady that if it be»kept up another half century, there will be practically no natives or descendents of natives, left on the island. In 1853, when the first authentic census was taken, there were 71.019 natives on the island. Each succeeding census has shown a smaller "number, the last showing only 29.S34 natives, and 7,835 part Hawaiians.
HON. THOMAS H. CARTBR, ex-sena-tor from Montana, and ex-chairman of the Republican national committee, wno is now at the head of the United States commission for the St. Louis exposition, has been in Washington several days, in company with ex-Gover-nor Francis, of Missouri, who is at the head of the exposition organization, looking after the foreign interests of the exposition, and the forwarding through the department of state of the President's proclamation, inviting the participation of all nations in the exposition. Speaking of the matter, Mr. Carter said: "The President will issue the proclamation in a few days and the great exposition will then be officially inaugurated. Everything promises that the St. Loui6 exposition will eclipse anything of the kind ever held in the world. Close study of the best points ol eYery international exposition has been made and the best features of each adopted. There will be a wealth of original conceptions and a magnificence of detail, together with a general world of representation, which will make the Louisiana purchase exposition worthy of the new century and of the great territory, the acquisition of which has added so much to the wealth and preBtlge of the country."
STORMS FOR SEPTEMBER.
Brother Hicks Thinks We Will Have Some Lively Weather Next Month.
In all probability a general storm disturbance, central the last two days in August, will still prevail in the middle and eastern parts of the country during the first day or two of September. The moon is full on August 29th, is on the celestial equator on the 30th, the central day of a vulcan storm period, and in perigee on September 1st. We have before admonished our readers that these facts point to the probability of equatorial storms to the southward as we pass from August into September. We do not affirm that they must or will come, but there are sufficient reasons to apprehend them, and to make a prudent watch on all marked indications the right thing. If such barometric depressions do not appear in and around the regions of the gulf by September 1st. the weather over the interior will remain warm and dry until we approach the great equinoctial perturbations sure to develop later in the month.
About the time of the moon's last quarter or extreme north declination on the oth, reactionary disturbances will show themselves, when new storm areas will appear, or general storms, which may be advancing from tne equator, will become more pronounced. As may be seen by the storm diagram, the mercury period is central on the 8th, extending its influence from the 1st to the J5th. At the same time the autumnal equinox, being central on'the 22nd, covcrs the whole month with its perturbing influence. This does not imply that storms or other disturbances must be taking place all the time but the relations of the earth to the sun are such that storm and weather "breeding" energies are entering and impregnating and intensifying the elements of the atmosphere and earth all the time, and as a result of these things storms and changes peculiar to the season are apt to break out at any time, and sure to break out at some time during the transition of the seasons to opposite ends of the globe, or in the equinoctial period proper. On6 hundred to one the accompanying storm diagram for September, and the abutting periods in August and October storm charts, will point out the centers of all the great disturbances and changes incident to the autumnal equinoctial term. Watch and see and say for yourself.
As we enter the regular storm period central on the 10th, we may expect a very warm spell in most parts. From about Monday, the 9th, to Friday, the 13th, barometric readings will become disturbed, and dangerously low depressions will admonish of possible violence. Storms of this period are apt to reach a crisis on and touching the 10th, 11th and 12th. Tidal waves in the gulf and around thefceoasts will be abnormally high and fierce about the 12th and 13th.
In all probability general rain storms, gales and changes of weather will visit the interior of the continent at this time as well as the coast region. The magnetic and electric forces that normally lie dormant in our globe and atmosphere, as a rule, reach a maximum state of unrest and activity about September 11th. This is often manifested by earth currents and auroral displays, disturbing telegraphy and illuminating thf. north sky.
In all the foregoing forecasts, we have said tnat there were strong probabilities of storms and storm phenomena We insist that this view of the subject is reasonably correct. But if high barometric pressure should stubbornly dominate the gulf regions up to the middle of the month, it will remain hot and dry[over most of the country until that condition breaks down, letting the heated, effete atmosphere flow down across the equator, and opening the doorway for autumnal storm and change. The ruling probabilities, however, as we figure them, are that storms and changes will come with the early storm periods of the month, and that very marked drops of the temperature, even to-.frosts in northern directions, will be reached before the middle of September.
The reactionary storm period, cen tral about the 16th and 17th. will bring perceptiblej changes to storm conditions—changes to warmer, falling barometer, growing cloudiness and precipitation but more general and energetic disturbances are almost certain to result during the Vulcan storm period central on the 22d, coincident with the center of earth'6 autumnal equinox. It willibe seen in the storm chart that the Mars perturbation unites with all the other causes of storms during much of this month, say from the 11th to the end. Ordinarily about Saturday, the 21st, to Tuesday, the 24th, would be the danger days of this period but we figure that equatorial, or West India storms will be more probable and violent from about the 26th to the 30th. During these last days moon is on the equator on the 26th, full on the«28th, and in perigee on the 29th. Tidal waves will rise to a maximum in many parts of the earth during this period, central on the 28th and 29th. If a touch of frost, snow and early winter visit regions northward at

the close of fthese disturbances, readers well up in our itbeory and forecasts will not be surprised or caught napping.
Giving a «very «brief look into the coming year {and season, we can only hint in general terms at what we believe is in Jstore in the way of weather and general seasonalHconditions. We believe that-we shall not pass out of this period of tininimum precipitation with a bound, i^but that a shortage in general rains, to a less-dcstnictivt extent, will be characteristic of the coming year. We&believe that the "rain belt" which touched the extreme north in 1900, and moved further south in 1901, will advance further southward in 1902, but that the rainfall will not be excessive even there, and that the central and southern parts of the country will have another summer of shortage of rainfall, better, but not enough.
THE CRAWFORDSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Two years ago we called attention to the "slipping on" of the rain belt on the north Iside ofiour continent, and the "slipping off" of the floods and rains in Jthe extreme south in 1901. We also I said that rains would relieve the drought on the Pacific coasts, beginning in 1900, and that rains would be more frequent along the Atlantic coast states this season. Let those who know the facts say whether we were correct. See our 1902 almanac.
Charges Fraud.
Carl Bonnell, trustee of the estate of Warner C. Kessler, has entered suit againstiJacob Kessler for 8621. The complaint alleges that just before Warner Kessler filed his petition in bankruptcy he turned over to his father, the defendant, property to the value of 8621 and left other creditors to whom he owed $4,000 to hold the bag. It is alleged that Warner Kessler did not owe his father money and that he merely pretended to do so in order to save that 8621.
