FORECASTS FOR NOVEMBER. Itev. Irl Hick* of St. Loul», Predict* the Weather For the Month. Faljing barometer, warmer, southerly winds, ending in cloudiness and rain, may be expected from 1st to 3rd reaching a crisis of high temperature and storminess about time of new moou on the 3rd. Close behind these storms a cold wave for the season" will $rush downward from -the northwest causing snow, and cold, northerly currents will dominate most parts of the country up to about the 6th. During the 7th and 8th a reaction from boreal, anti-storm conditions will set in —warmer weather will spread from west to east, the barometer will fall and more rain, turning to snow will visit many sections over central and northern states. From the 11th to’Mth falls a Vulcan jpertubation, blended with Mercury and Mars. Earth, Sun and Jupiter are in conjunction at the same time, there being also a very unusual concentration of nearly all the members of the solar system near the same celestial longitude. Moon is in perigee on the llth. and on the celestial equator on the 12th. There is no need for foolish fear or alarm when we <say that heavy autumnal storms and gales are exceedingly probable between the llth and 14th. Over the lakes and on the north Atlantic danger to shipping should be anticipated,' while rain, sleet and snow will visit vast areas of the continent. Earthquakes phenomena in many parts of the Earth will be the natural, and in most instances harmless outcome of the peculiar astronomic condition at this time, and through all central parts of November. „ . x A Mercury period is central with the full moon on the 17th, the 17 th to 19th being also reactionary storm period. There are strong probabilities of seismic phenomena on and about these dates. A November blizzard of sleet and snow, over the northern half of the country, need not surprise readers of these forecasts about the same dates. A general cold wave should be looked for at the culmination of this, period, lasting up to about the 23rd. All perishable products should be put in readiness for prompt protection before this time.

should be at hand for the sheltering’ of tender plants and shrubbery, even far toward the south. During the Vulcan storm period, extending from the 23rd to 27th, the barometer will again fall, and all the conditions of precipitation and storminess will return. Moon is in apogee on the 24th, at last quarter on the 25th and on the equator on the 26th. I The low* barometer and warmth will [ culminate, especially southward, in I lightning and thnnder on and next to j the 26th, after which the high barometer, high winds and cold will rush i down from the north and west. It should be remembered that marked meteoric showers are due on and l about the 27th. The point from w’hich they will radiate will be in-Androme-da, which will be passing the meridian at the time from about 8 to 10 o'clock, p. m. Andromeda will be nearly straight overhead at 9 o’clock, at about 45 to 50 degrees of north lati- ! tude. The last tw’o days of the month will bring return of falling barometer, higher temperature and tendency to j general rain or snow. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My wife 5has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.” This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Stearnes drug comity.

You haven’t the firm dignified walk and general air that comes after one is cured of indigestion, as you surely can be by taking Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Get it atOliphant Drug Co’s. o

j THE NEXT CENSUS. i It M ill He Taken During the Month of June Xext Year. The time for taking the census is the first two weeks in June in cities over 8,000, and the whole month of ; June for other parts of the district. | The law requires that when possible j the census shall be taken by one liv- > ing in that division, if one be avail- ; able and competent. . In the country [districts it may require one or two men to a township. The pay for the service is set by law at from 2 to 3 cents a name. The director of the census sets the exact pay. When the last census was taken each name was followed by a schedule of 30 questions. The writing of 30 replies for each person requires several minutes and must be done in ink. It is not anticipated the schedules will be as elaborate next year as they were ten years ago. In the country districts farmers must be questioned about the crops. The men who take the census must be equipped with good common sense or they will fall down. The law requires every person to answer the questions put by the census taker, and a penalty is stipulated for stubborn people who turn the census man away from their doors, even as if he were a book agent. Good Advice. When that distressing pain seems j to grab you by the back of the head and neck and your eyes seems fixed on a given point straight ahead, do not make yourself sick by taking drastic, cathartics, but take a small dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It re-, lieves the pressure on the nerves, centers of the brain and aids digestion by, curing constipation permanently. In 10c, 50c and $1 sizes at Oliphant Drug Co’S.__ o Obituary. Died, October IT, Sister Mahala Brenton, wife of John W. Brenton, at the age of 58 years. While it has pleased God to call this one from us, yet we feel that it is a great loss to the bereaved family and friends, but we feel that our loss is her gain. Still her many deeds of kindness and charity will live on in our memories. Hers was a life of love and help to all about her, feeling this a duty she owed to God and all His creatures and when the hour came to lay down this life and receive her crown, willingly she submitted to the call, telling those around her that all was well. She turned her face toward Heaven and while yet breathing the breath of life that God had given, the sweet smiles of her face told us that she was enjoying the pleasures that God has in store for all who love Him. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. Burch. Interment at Pleasant Grove cemetery. W. E. W. A Short, Sad Story. A cold. Neglect. Pneumonia. Grief.

STATE'S INSANE. Oyer Kleven Hundred Are Xowr Awaiting For Accommodation. Eleven hundred insane pa tie ns in this state are awaiting the completion of adequate provisions at the various state institutions for their care and comfort. This number, which is thought to be nearly accurate as possible, is composed of insane inmates of various county poor asylums, jails and hospitals where they should not be according to the plans of the board of state charities. The last legislature, after having investigated the need of greater facilities for the insane, appropriated money enough to care for about seven hundred of those who were outside insane hospitals. The work on the buildings for which the appropriation was made is going rapidly on, and by the first of the year, it is thought, the poor asylums will be relieved of the burden of so many insane patients. Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, has returned from a visit to several of the benevolent institutions of the state, where he has found work on the various improvements progressing rapidly. At the eastern hospital for the insane, at East Haven near Richmond, the new building for men, Mr. Butler says, will be completed within the appropriation—$28,000—and will also

dc iurmsnea witmn tnat sum. Excavation has also been begun for the two new5 hospital buildings, which will be built at a cost of $33,000 for both. He says he found affairs in a commendable condition at the eastern hospital. At the school for feeble minded at Ft. Wayne, the boys are making pressed brick for the new buildings of the institute. The “Sunset” cottage for girls Is already built to the second story and will be completed by January 1st. ^ Mr. Butler says the school expects to receive all who have made application for admission by the first of next year. The boys of the school, with the aid of only three men, who have been hired, have made three quarters of a million pressed brick, and within the year they expect to make between a million and a million and one-half. The board of state charities thinks that the employment of the boys of the institution is one of the greatest features of institutional work in the state. A Lima Man’s Testimony. I have obtained excellent results from Foley’s Kidney Cure. It relieved my backache and severe pain over the hips. It toned up my system and gave me new vim and energy. I regard it as an honest and reliable remedy for all kidney diseases. It makes no false claims but does what it says when given a fair trial. I certainly recommend it. Wm.
