large Touring mills and one cotton mill.
The fire began in tile mill of G. A. Pills

Thus far the mill had been shut down for

to have been from confined gas as from
flour dust to which the Washburn mill
explosion was attributed. The capacity
of the mills burned is 2,4GO barrels. The
capacity OF the Minneapolis mills is 25,-
500 barrels. The mills destroyed repre-.
sented about one-tenth of the whole.

The consultations aloft, as calculated
by a Philadelphia astronomer who
prints the result in the Ledger of that
city says that at 9 o'clock on Monday
evening the great Dipper will be west
of the Pole, the Pointers nearly par.
allel TO the horizon. Directly opposite
the Pole star and at about the same
distance from it is Cassiopea, known by
its seven stars of medium brightness
forming an irregular w. The bright
star almost exactly in the zenith is
Vega in Lyra. East of this and lying
in the milky way, is the cross in the
constellation Cygnus. 1t is a Roman
cross with the long arm in the milky
way, and a bright star at its head.
Above the horizon just below this is
the constellation Pegasus, the most
conspicuous part Of which is a large
and not very accurate square formed
by four bright stars. To the south OF
Cygnus is AquIlla. The bright star
Altar in this constellation is easily
known by its position between two Sd
magnitude stars. Near by is the dia-
mond Jobs Coffin. The bright star
half way from the meridian to the
western horizon is Arcturus, and be-
tween it and the zenith is the semi
circle forming the Northern Grown.
Lower down in the southwest is the
bright Spica in Virgo. And nearer
the south and quite close to the hori-
zon is conspicuous cluster of stars,
the brightest OF which is Antarus.
There are other interesting objects
in these morning hours which are we'll
worth Watching. The four bright
planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter aud
Saturn, form very brilliant constel-
iatiOn in the eastern sky. Mercury
and Neptune are also in the group,
though Invisible to the unaided eye
The old moon on its westward passage
among the stars will pass close by
Saturn on the 18th, Jupiter on the
10Th, Mars on the 18th and Venus on
the Goth.

1t hardly seems credible that a hun
dred years has hot yet passed away
since our fertile valleys and sloping
hills were dense forests, where no
marks of human habitation could be
found, save here and there the marks
of the tomahawk upon the saplings
and bushes to guide the wanderer as
he trod the dim paths made by the
wild deer, bears, wolves and panthers,
and now and then a wigwam. No hu-
man voice heard to echo from hill to
hill, save that of the war-whoop of
the red man. To day the progressive
white man inhabits these once wild
lands, the wild forest is changed into
golden harvests, pixies and railroads
take the place of the wild animal
path, the locomotive whistle takes
the place of the red mans war whoop,
fine and valuable machinery takes the
place of the tomahawk. and churches
and institutions Of learning now stand

demnation Of the discontinuance OF

by the Executive Committee of the
National Board of Health. Ii the
Board Of Health persists in this reck-
less mistake it will do so with pub
lie sentiment in the Mississippi Val
ley entirely against it. 1t can persist,
but in that event the people have two
duties to perform: they should instant
ly, through the State Boards Of

they should. through their members
OF Congress, cause the removal of ev-
cry one responsible for leaving the
Mississippi Valley uuprotected-the
doors wide open, as the Memphis Ap-
peal has it-at this dangerous season
Of the year. The feeling against DR..

ter that some Of the people would as
soon tar and feather him as not, If he
came here. 1t is believed here that
be did this thing from personal pique,
and if that is so he should be instantly
removed.
We do trust that the National
Board of Health will instantly undo
the great wrong that has been done.
The destruction of confidence in the
Mississippi Valley by this tyrannical
act is already having very bad ef-
feet.
