A DIS COURSE on STORMS.

Rev. I. n. Hicks EXP ains HOW He
Fsreteils the weather by tile PIan-
etnry Movements.
Rev. L R. Hicks of ST. Louis spoke in
Plymouth church last evening to large
audience on the meterology of storms, to
which be has given especial attention. Mr..
Hicks said he had timed his visit to the
Northwest SO az 10 meet the storms. He had
expected storms on Saturday and had made
an abortive attempt to announce it in the
morning papers. He said that he had gone
to Minnetonka. expecting to see the storm
break OH the lake. Continuing he said:
Tie selar system is bound together by one
indissoluble tie. What constitutes this bond!
What are its laws? How does it affect the
planets? What constitutes this bond? To
say thaS it is electricity is saying very little
Scientific definitions are of value only as
they enable US to determine the nature of
things. We will assume that this boud is
electricity. This indicates an antagonism,
and that Copernicus Gallieo and others
lived in vain. But opposing schools in
science. in art, in theology have harmonized
their beliefs by adopting new def
millions. Call 1t gravity or electric
ity, but as far as 1 understand science
electricity is the coming word to-day all
around the world. Gravitation is a good old
power which crosses the seas in fash of
lightning? No properly-informed person will
now deny that the planets often affect each
other abnormally ih their passages around
their orbits, as instanced by the foretelling
of the the discovery of the lost planet Nep-
tune. Now what is there known to science
competent to accomplish such objects but
electricity? When we tind that certain phe-
nomena Of the planets are accompanied by
ELECTRICAL STORMS
on the earth. shall we not call it electricity?
When one OF the planets crosses the equ-
noctial line there is disturbance. An ey-
ample is furnished in the equinoctial storms
which we have heard of all our lives The
other planets are governed by the same laws.
This is the basis of the theory and you can
determine whether it is scientific
of ordinary neutrality-suspicious.. To
know when storms are approaching we
have only to study the phenomena of
the different plants. All the elements of an
electrical storm can be created artificially.
and the motions of all barometers, thermoni-
eters and other instruments can be ex-
planned scientifically. This is restatement
of theory not altogether new, and if il be
the truth, let it live in the name of humanity

believe to be truth. and if it be a truth

An eye witness to the hanging Of the thirty

copper-colored murderers came from their

up the stairway of the platform like herd Of
wild animals. Each man wore between his
bronze lips,a cigar at " hich he Justify pulled as
the rope was placed around his neck and the
knot adjusted under his ear. When the rope
that held the platform was cut, thirty-eight
Indians shot downward, thirty-eight spinal
columns snapped apart and thirty-eight cigar
stumps Jew into the air and fell to the ground
to become food for avaricious bootblacks.
The bodies were loaded into express-wagons

Gamblers Interview with Ex-Mayor

The San Francisco Post tells this: Ex-
Mayor Currie, Of Virginia City, who
shielded few days ago, was an auction
eer. Occasionally he received carload
OF plants and flowers from California,
and held an outdoor sale on G street.
1t so frequently happened that when
Currie held flower auction snowstorm
came on, that the two events got to be
regarded as inseparable.

said leading gambler, walking into his
place.

that the piece work system was quite
as desirable as any that could be de-

NEW DEPOT.

1t has become about settled that Ke-
nosha is to have new railroad depot.
The present depot is not creditable
one, and is on the W rong side of the
railway track for the convenience of
passengers; it should be on the east
and town side of the railway. Nego-
tiations have been in progress for pur-
chase by the railroad of a number of
lots, on which are dwelling houses now
occupied. The additional land is need
ed for the accommodation of the road.
More room is wanted for side switches
and other purposes. The Chicago and
Northwestern Railway passing through
this city is now one of the greatest
thoroughfares of travel in the state
The increase of travel on this road
since over thirty years ago is really
wonderful. The first year or two after
the completion of the road two daily
trains between Chicago and Milwau.
kee were run with two passenger cars,
and oftentimes one car was sufficient
to carry the passengers. Now seven
passenger trains daily, except Sundays,
leave the Kenosha depot going south
and six going north. Instead of but
one or two passenger coaches being
filed, now there are often half dezen.
When it is considered that the st.
Paul road, a few miles west of us, run.
ming between Chicago and Milwaukee,
being the same distance between the
two cities as the lake shore road, an
idea of the amount of travel can be
formed. The st. Paul road runs the
same number of passenger trains as
the road on the lake shore. In pro-
portion as railroad fares are reduced
in like proportion will travel on the
railways increase. The introduction
of dining cars and hotel conyeniences
on the trains enables travellers 10 live
as luxuriantly on the cars as in first
class hotels.

DEATH OF A VETERAN
EDITOR

Col. Charles D. Robinson, editor Of
the Green Bay ADVOCATE, died on Satur.
day last. Col. Robinson was widely
known in the state, and popular with
all parties. He was pre-eminently g
self-made man; his school days ended
when he was twelve years of age, and
from that time onward he was obliged
to seek an education from snch re
sources as were at hand. His parents
were poor and he was early thrown
upon his own efforts to work his way
in life. By industry and perseverance
he succeeded in acquiring a good prac-
tical education, and possessed a happy
faculty for editorial writing, In 1895
he was nominated for Governor, but
was defeated by Gen. Lucius Fairchild
In 1850 he was member of the State
Assembly, and served as Secretary oil
State in 1853. Soon after the first ba t.
tie of Bull Run he enlisted in the
army. After his return from the
army his health began to fail, and he
had attacks of illness, from which he
never fully recovered. Accompanied
by his wife, he went to Europe for the
benefit OF his health, but obtain ed nc
permanent relief. Several years age
he had paralytic stroke, which SC
disabled him that he was obliged to
relinquish his labors ON the 'Adoooate
and his wife ther eater did much OF
the editorial duty.
Mr.. Robinson was born at Marcel.
lus, N. Y, in 1922. He came to Green
Bay in 1s46, and soon thereafter estab.
lished a paper.
