There was quite an unusual halo about
the moon on Christmas evening, which
was visible from this place and attracted
much attention. 1t consisted Of two
luminous circles. The smaller one had
the moon for its center, but the larger
one, which was immense in its sweep,
interesected the smaller halo at opposite
points, dividing its circumference equally,
and the moon was situated in the center
of the arc of the larger circle within the
smaller. Notwithstanding the brightness
with which the moon was shining, the
circles were perfectly distinct, even the
arc of the larger circle, in which was the
moon, was clearly defined, while the
points of intersection of the two circles
were especially brilliant.

Dornbcrg, Homer Whiting, a travelling
man, with Lee Paul for driver. not car
ing to depend any longer upon the rail
road for getting away started for Sleepy
Eye, to catch the 'frst train Thursday
morning. They left here about 8 p. m,
: with the mercury thirty-two degrees be-
low zero, expecting to make the trip in
few hours. But they had bad luck, bad
weather and bad roads. They upset
three times and had hard work to keep
from freezing. And after all their trials
and fluctuations, they did not reach their
destination until nine o'clock the next
morning, too late for the early train, and
were compelled to lay over until evening
before they could get away. They would
have made just as good time if they had
remained at home and taken the train
that left here Thursday afternoon.
