WEATHER AT WORLD’S FAIR.

White county democrats have nominated the following county ticket: George Stephens, Sheriff; Wm. F. Brucker,Treasurer; Henry W. Downing, Auditor; Dr. D. W. Strouse, Coroner; Roy Didlake Surveyer; J. V. Younger and Levi Reynolds for commissioners. Ed Taylor was nominated for short term commissioner in the 2d district. As The Democrat has heretofore remarked, the great overshadowing issue in the presidential campaign now at hand is the candidates themselves. Thoughtful, conservative people, thoso who have the best interests of their country at heart, will not be long in deciding which candidate they should support. Their better judgment must show them that Roosevelt is not a safe man to be at the head of this government. Of one thing democrats of Jasper county may rest assured of in this campaign, they will not have the usual insults of the McCoys thrown at them. And it is not likely that “Old Mac” will have much to say about that “democratic soup” that he used to be so fond of talking about, and which he and his illustrous son Tom have taken such pains and years of time to prepare for the deluded mortals who placed their savings in “McCoy’s Bank.” State Statistician Johnson has compiled some interesting statistics on the saloons of Indiana. There are 4,535 saloons in the state, and only two counties— Brown and Pike —are without them. . Lake county has 21*6, and has more saloons outside of cities and incorporated towns than any of the ninety-two counties, the number of such being 93. East Chicago, in Lake county, has the record for having the greatest number of saloons to the number of people, having one saloon for every 55 persons.

Cool Night* and Delightful Indian Summer to Be Expected at St. Louie. Usually the warmest month of the year, J uly proved to be one of the most pleasant of the World’s Fair season, the average temperature being 07 degrees, a record lower than that made by either Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The weather bureau records show that the temperatures iu St. Louis during July were just between the extremes recorded at New Orleans and SL Paul, cities located at great variance. August in St Louis is a month of cool nights, and September and October are the most delightful months of the year, it is that period known as Indian summer, when the foliage and birds linger to challenge the coming winter. Nowhere on the American continent is there a spot more delightful than the World’s Fair city, a garden of blooming flowers and spraying fountains. St. Louis, like ail cities, experienced several hot days during July, but her higl...-t temperature recorded was 93 degrees :>. :•)Inst 94 degrees registered by the thiviometer at Chicago. On the same day t!><* mercury rose to 96 degrees in Philadelphia, and scores of heat prostrations were reported from New York and Boston. The relative humidity shows St Louis to be about normal. Assuming absolutely no moisture in the atmosphere to be zero and absolute wetness to be 100, the relative humidities for July, taken from the records of more than 1 twenty years, Boston shows 70.6, New York 72.2, Philadelphia 68.6, Cincinnati 64.6, Chicago 06.9 and St Louis flfl.lt.
