Mr. Seton-Thompson's first Bos
ton lecture, in Steinert Hall, for the
benefit of the Animal Rescue Leag
ue was so overcrowded that many
turned away disappointed; so he re
peated it as a special treat to child
ren on St. Valentine's Day in Tre
mont Temple to over 2.000 people
old and young. How well they
enjoyed it, many a giggle and de
lighted exclamation testified.
Grown people carried away an im
pression of the lecturer's strong
sympathy for animals. He looks
forward to the day, which has even
now begun, when hunters shall go
out into the wilderness with cam
eras, instead of guns, in their hands.

EAST BENTON.
The Democratic rally at Benton
last Friday night was a grand success.
The matchless oratory of all the
speakers was frequently interrupted
by prolonged applause. Harman and
Ikeler made the principal speeches.
Polk and Creasy made but short ad
dresses, as their principals are chrystal-
ized in official acts, tar.d recorded in
history.
The long continued drought and
hot weather have so depleted the
water supply that it almost borders on
a water famine. The stagnant con
dition of the water renders an un
healthy season for the people. The
threatening attitude of the clouds for
the last few da)s dropped but little
rain, scarcely enough to lay the dust.
Yet withal the dry weather, the
farmers have no cause for complaint,
as their crops are up to the usual
average, with the exception of hay
and wheat. The latter, however, is
short, only by reason of the Hessian
fly.
Apples and other fruits were largely
affected by dry and hot weather. The
former inclined to speedy and pre
mature rot; while other fruits, in the
course of development were consider
ably shriveled and under size.
The nut crop is also a dismal fail
ure hereabouts. A great deal of the
timber shows signs of dying by reason
of the drought. The garbage of the
foliage is bereft of its usual beauty of
tinted colors, so many of the leaves
drying up before ripening into autum
nal beauty.
The early seeding has not develop
ed into much of a top for winter pro
tection, and the late sowing is not yet
up; and the presumption is that before
long the farmers will again raise the
cry of starvation.
A great deal of indisposition, bord
ering on disease and sickness, is pre
valent generally in our community.
Mark Hanna said that "Demo
cratic" victory was worse than the
Galveston disaster." True, a Demo
cratic cyclone would sweep Hannaism,
McKinleyism and the trust magnetism
from the face of the earth and dump
them all into the vortex of Imperial
ism. No wonder Mark is alarmed at
the rumbling and gathering of the
coming stoim. But after the sweep
of the storm, the plain people will all
be left unharmed. Mark begins to
see the handwriting on the wall, and
that judgment day is a fearful event to
contemplate. But the people only
laugh when their calamity cometh and
mock when their fear haunteth.
Already he cries for the mountains of
boodle to fall upon him to hide him
and them from the wrath of the people
that threaten them on every side.
Judgment day is near at hand, and it
won't come in the middle of the night
either.
The Beishline traction steam thresh
er is kept very busy among the farm
ers in our locality. They do a quick
