Eastern states as Indian agents in tho
West The fight win open with the
oregon appointment and both Dolph
and Mitchell have said they intend to

der federal control, and that appointeet
can be sent from any section of the
country to government agencies.

No Separate Receiver Said to Have

Omaha, Jan. 5.--A rumor reached
Omaha this morning that the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company had
demanded separate accounting with
the Union Pacific, preparatory to the
commencement Of suit looking to the
appointment of a receiver for the nor
thern line. Inquiry at headquarters
failed to confirm the report, although a
separate account of the net earnings is
being kept to satisfy the second mort
gage bondholders. Not the least fear is
expressed at headquarters that the Or
egon Railway and Navigation Company
will follow in the footsteps of the
Gulf Company.

CURFEW BELL IN CANADA.
The KncII OF Parting nay Means
That Children Must Go Indoors.

The KncII OF Parting Day Means
That Children Must Go Indoors.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day sometimes ut s and sometimes at
3 o'clock in several towns in this PROV
ince, says the Toronto Mail. 1t no
longer means lights out" but is simply
q summons to little boys and girls
to take themselves of the street to the
shelter of the domestic roof, where
their sphere Of danger of bad company
and of mischief will be narrowed, while
further scope will be given to their ca
pacity for rest. The curfcw bell might
be looked upon rs Il piece of socialistic
presumption on the part of the NUM-
cipality, as an cncroachment on the
fnalienable private right of the head OF
the family to order the affairs OF his
own household. But the moral sense
of the town will wink at this elbowing
aside Of the parent by the municipality.
The parent who is jealous of his pre-
rogative as a ruler of his children fails
to exercise that prerogative and dele
gates it to the town when he allows
them to be public nuisance, and such
aworry to the public. The police should
not be called upon TO render service
as nurse to truant officers They should
be left free to keep adults out of mis-
chief. There is no more yexatious.
tantalizing duty than that of keeping
track of a company of mischicvous
boys. They are likely to absorb the
attention Of any policeman who has
them on his beat. Consequently older
and worse offenders are given a freer
hand. Nor is there anything that de-
moralizes policeman more than that
kind of service. He is apt to lose his
interest in larger game and sink into
II spy on the conduct Of urchins, who
will then make it a point TO fill up his
time with larks and escapadas. The
curfew tends to take this strain off
the police.

HAIL FORMED BY ToRNADoEs.
The Result of whirlwinds In the At
mosphere Far Above the Earth.

The Result Of whirlwinds In the At
mosphere Far Above the Earth.
The fact that hail is formed ut an
indefinite but, in most cases, n great
height above the surface of the earth,
and that it is commonly prccipitated
when storms are raging, has prevented
any direct observation of the process
of freezing the vapor of the atmos-
phere into ice pellets or large masses,
and what has been decided regarding
the phenomena of hailstorms is almost
wholly the work of theory and Logic.
clearly established.
In the first place. hail is the result,
as rule, of whirling or tornado-like
storms. There may be no whirling on
the surface of the earth, but, according
to the Cleveland Leader ii seems GER
tain that in the higher regions of the
air, where hail is formed, there Is al
ways an atmospheric disturbance re-
scmbling what is commonly called
cyclone when it sweeps the ground.
A curious indication of the solndneSs
Of this conclusion was to be noted
Thursday afternoon, when the storm,
which wrought such havoc with sky
lights had passed by. Out over the
lake there was great mass of cloud,
very high and dark, which had the
form of an oval race track of enormous
proportions. 1t might easily nave been
fifty miles in length and two thirds that
distance in width. The formation of
the cloud mass was noticeably such as
might have resulted from the violent
whirling around a moving center of the
whole bulk of cloud vapor. The APP
pearance Of the sky was thoroughly in
harmony with the accepted theory Of
the formation of hail. 1t is believed
that the nucleus of n large hailstone
is usually bit of snow or snow-like
ice which falls from the snow strata,
or level, above the rain level, into the
latter, and is caught up with cloud
of raindrOps and mists into the higher,
freezing regions of the atmosphere by
the force of n whirlwind. The rain
and water in the form of mist, which
clngs to the snow nucleus, or touches
1t as 1t is whirled swiftly up into the
intense cold, freezes around it as clear
and solid ice.

He was born at G O'CLOCK on the morn
ing of April %. 1894, and at that hour
the eighteenth degree of the sign of
Taurus was rising with the planets all
above the earth except Saturn and the
moon. These facts make Mr.. Depew's
very fortunate horoscope.
In worldly matters it is particularly
SO. Jupiter and Venus, both good
planets, were in conjunction, and both
above the horizon, the former being
in the house of fortune, which is gov
erned by the sign Gemini, when Mr..
Depew made his debut in the world.
These favorable signs, the astrologers
say, point to the amassing of a large
fortune, and considera BILE part of it
through speculation, because Leo rules
his fifth house. 1t will not be fleet
ing good fortune, either, the planets
say, for Mr.. Depew should add to it
considerably before his death.
The sun above the horizon on the
day of his nativity makes Mr. Depew
ambitious for place and power, but
the fiery finger of Saturn, the evil
planet, points in opposition to the sun
and repeats its solemn warning that
this can never be. Mr. Depew must
content himself, therefore, without
public Office, for if the evil influence
of the malicious planet be not over
rated, inevitable failure will follow
any attempt on his part to secure the
coveted laurels.
This opposition of Saturn is the only
cloud over Mr.. Depew's otherwise
bright horoscope. Prof Apolon says
that Saturn influences and controls
the agricultural classes, and that it is
wholly due to misunderstanding on
their part which prevents Our
Chauncey" from attaining the high
position which his talents and good
influences make him capable of filling.
He is solemnly warned not to allow
his name to be used as a nominee.
Senator David b. Hills chances in
life have been seriously impaired by
the affection of his benefcent planet
Mercury, by the moon and the evil
planet Mars, on the day of his nativ-
ity, Aug. 90, iS43. Mercury, it seems,
would have made him great man If
it had been allowed it's own way, but
Mars and tine ever-present Saturn
took a hand in the matter, and
his prospects were blasted. The
hour of his birth is believed
to be GAS a. m., and at that
time the seventeenth degree of
the celestial sign Virgo was on the
eastern horizon, which testifies to a
witty, ingenious and talented mind.
But for the evil aspect of Mercury it
is said that Mr.. Hill would have been
"a profound scholar. and capable of
any undertaking requiring great abil-
ity."
Both the moon and Mars, which at
fiict Mercury in the senator's horo-
scope, seem to have had some grudge
against Nh. Hill, for their positions at
the time of his birth offer the very
meanest kind of testimony in regard
to his character Prof. Apolon says
that their opposition to Meresry
makes him disposed to desert his bene-
factors at their utmost need; makes
him insineere in his professions of
friendship and unscrupulous in the
Gaethods by which he attains his
enGs." i wonder if this could hHve

been found in Mr. Hills horoscope be-
fore his famous campaign for governor
of New York in 1888? Perhaps Mars
supported cleveland that year, and
was disappointed at his defeat!
Congressman William c. p. Breclain-
ridges misfortunes, which have re-
Gently come upon him, were all fore
told last week from his horoscope.
He was born in Lexington, Ky, on
Thursday, Aug. %, 1887, at or near
noon. At THAT hour the sun was i'm
his mid-heaven, surrounded by Jupiter,
Mercury and Venus, all exerting bene-
fetal influences over his life. The
mystical planet Herschel. however.
spoiled all these favorable signs by
being evilly aspeeted with the sun
The position of the sun and the favor
able planets foretOld the high position
and popularity to which Mr.. Breckin-
ridge would rise, but the evil aspect of
the sun with Hersehel testified that at
an unexpected time and from an I'M
expected quarter his popularity, honor
and credit would be attacked. At
least, this is what the astrologers say.
Ruling TIE congressman's house of
wealth is the sign Sagittarg, but in the
last degree, with IS degrees of the
house of Saturn in his house of wealth.
This testimony would indicate the
congressman to be in possession of
wealth, the only conflicting testimony
being that his house of speculation is
ruled by Aries, which is ruled by
Mars; and Mars in semi-square, with
Saturn and the Sun, are both evil as
poets. These signs would go to show
rash ventures of a speculative nature.
Betting or four aces or straight
flush, it is claimed, is not speculation
it certainly is not rash speculation
though this prediction would proba-
bly, be indicated if Mr.. Breckenridge
should try to bluff out too many bob
tail" fiushes. Whether caused by
playing in too many expensive jack
pots or dabbling in stocks is not spec-
tically stated, though it is said that
financial loss through Speculation"
threatens the Kentucky congressman.
In marriage and love affairs. that
subject so interesting to Mr.. Breclin-
ridge just cow, we find the celestial
house of Taurus (the home of Venus)
on the cusp of the seventh house. This
would be q valuable sign were not

testimony, and shows the congress

we are told. Still another evil sign is

the astrologers say, is indicative of ex-
travagance and dissipation Virtue,
prudence, temperance and almost all
other virtues are declared by the
planets to be wanting in this horo.
scope THE truth of judicial astro-
nomy is attested." Prof. Apolon says,
''by the fact that at the time the con-
gresham was served with papers in
his recent breach of promise suit, at g
p m, August ), 1898, at Washington,
Saturn, the malefic planet was in his
midheaven, and that this planet is now
in evil aspect, both with his midheaven
(Which rules his honor, credit and bust
ness, and in like manner evilly aspects
the sign and degree of the sign which
was ascending at his birth"
The most important prediction
made from Mr.. Breckinridge's horo-
scope, and one which is of particular
interest just now. is that he will not
be returned to congress again
Saturn, that old mischief-maker, again
hobs up, and is at present affecting
Mr.. Breckinridge's midheaven by a
semi-square, which is taken as almost
positive testimony against his re-elec-
ton to congress.
Undcrtakers. however, could boom
their business considerably by know
ing just when their services could be

Americans have been cast by Prof
Apolon;and the positions of the planets
at the time of the birth of each are
shown in the accompanying ''natiVi-
ties" Some, explanation is necessary
to understand the Importance of these
seemingly senseless diagrams. The
chart of the heavens is divided
into twelve spaces, and from
tine positions of the planets in
these spaces, or houses" the as
t,ologer's predictions are made. Each
house has it's own special significance,
and each of the planets exercise an
evil cor good influence over ones life
taccording to it's nature} in just that
particular line shown by the signii-
canoe of the space it is in.
President Cleveland certainly was
not born under a lucky star. The sun
was in mid-heaven Gf the hour of his
birth is rightly said to be 11:30 a. IA },
and as there were no planets to inter
fere with it, astrologers say that this
foretold the high position he was des-
timed to reach. Jupiter, it seems,
Was found in the second house, which
governs fortune, and in the fiery sign
Leo, which indicates the acquisition
of wealth. But reservation is put
upon this good sign, for the astrolo-
gers tell us that on March as, 1887,
when the President was born, Jupiter
was in conjunction with Mars, and
both were in the house of the Sum;
hence, what wealth the President does
acqaDine, will be spent with a lavish
hand, and at the close of life, very
little of his posse ssions will remain.
Ma. Cleveland is solemnly warmed
against Wall street by the appearance
of Saturn in the sign Scorpio, which
occupies the house of speculation
Should he indulge in an occasional
flyer jim the street with the bulls
and bears, it is likely to result unfor-
tunately for him, for the evil indu-
ence of Saturn is said to be strong
enough to control the stock market if
his warnings are disobeyed. But old
Saturn is not satisfied with annoying
the President in the matter of specula-
ton, for his evil influence is doubly
powerful because he is found in the
fifth house, which also controls his
children. Between this date and Nov.
is the mystical planet Herschel will
be passing through this house, and its
