PROF. FALB ON 1895.
His Announcement of the Critical Days
for tho Coming Year.


for the Coming Year.
Prof. Rudolph Falb, of Leipzig, the
discoverer of the Critical days." in Civ
ing their number, order and dates for
the coming year in the columns of the
Deutsche Kaiser-Kalender for 1895,
states that observations begun in 1868
convinced him that the influence of the
attraction of the moon and sun upon
the waters of the sea had a similar eff
feet upon the ocean of the earth's at
mosphere, as well as upon the liquid
and volatile masses contained in the
interior of our globe. He discovered,
says the Baltimore Sun, that great at
mospheric disturbances, shocks of
earthquake and explosions in mines
were surprisingly often coincident with
the days upon which the most extern
sive tides and other oceanic commo-
tiOns were caused by the influence of
either moon or sun, or both. These
periods Prof. Falb distinguishes by the
name of Critical days." because they
mark, on the enc side, periodical turn
ing points" in the equilibrium of the
neptunic, plutonic and atmospheric
masses above mentioned, and on the
other side afford the measure and
means for computing the degree and
effect of lunar aud solar forces upon
our planet.
The individual consultations effect
ing each for itself an increase of these
forces are: First, the perigree, that is
the time when moon and earth are near
est to one another; second, the moons
equatorial position; third, the peri
helion, when our globe is nearest the
sun; fourth, the suns equatorial posi-
ton; fifth, the syzygies, or new moon
and full moon; sixth, the lunar or solar
eclipses.
The coming year will be especially
notable for the fact of its three most
critical days being accompanied by
eclipses. In mentioning the dates in
the different orders and grades of indi-
vidual effectiveness, Prof. Falb takes
care to state that the results of the
strongest attractions often precede their
critical days" as theoretically COM
ppted, by one or two days, while those
of lesser import may be from two to
three days later than periodically fixed.
The latter may also be the case at the
time of critical days of the first order
whenever long-continuing and extern
sive atmospheric pressure or eastern
winds prevailed previous to these dates.
The following are the critical days"
for 1906:
Of the first order: September 1s,
March II, August 20, February o, Octo-
Der IS, April 0, July % and January II.

NATURE LOVES DISAPPOINTMENT.
Welded on Thanksgiving Eve at the Age of
Eighty-eight, He Now Seeks Divorce.

Welded on Thanksgiving Eve at the Age of
Eighty-eight, He Now Seeks Divorce.
A romantic marriage that took place
here Thanksgiving eve bids fair to Gull
inmate in the wreck of the matrimonial
bark. The principals to the wedding
were Charles Moore, wealthy Monroe
county farmer, aged 80 years, and Mrs.
Amanda Pierce of this place, aged Ga.
They have not lived together since the
ceremony, and the groom has applied
for divorce
The couple in early childhood were
lovers, high spirited, strong willed and
stubborn, characteristic that remains
with them yet to a remarkable degree.
A lovers quarrel and separation by re-
moval threw their lives into different
paths. Both married other companions,
reared large families and accumulated
a gOOdly share of this worlds goods in
the half century that has since passed.
A few years ago their consorts were re-
moved by death. Later the lovers of so
years ago met again. The old flame
was rekindled, and it eliminated in a
wedding, the ceremony being at the
home of the bride in this city Thanks
giving eve.
The nuptials over, the venerable
groom returned to his 200 acre farm,
near Bloomington, and the bride began
packing her goods to follow. Then she
changed her mind. She concluded that
it was not the proper thing for her to
leave her children and grandchildren SO
far away and informed the groom that
he must come to Kokomo and live with
her. This turn of affairs did not suit
Mr.. Moore He had the household all
prepared for its new mistress and con-
tended that he could not afford to COM
ply with her request; that his business
interests would suffer thereby and final
ly informed her that if she wanted to
live with him she must come to his
home. The bride refused to comply, and
the piqued groom brought matters to a
focus yesterday by filing an application
for divorce in the Monroe county courts.

Durfee Scores H1m-Insurance Companies
Think They Will HaveAto Pay.

Iu6y WILL hdtOa1O roy
Says the Chicago Times Herald
Superintendent Durfee, of Illinois in
surance department, has addressed a
letter to fire insurance companies MAX
ing some plain statements regarding
the alleged methods of F. G.. Cowie,
whom he styles ian insurance ad-
juster." AS it is understood by under
writer's, Mr.. Cowie has never been
called himself an adiuster, but is de-
tective working on insurance cases.
He is not regularly employed by the
companies, but had charge of the case
of the Chicago Bedding company fire
at Kenosha, which resulted in the ar
rest, conviction and sentence OF a num-
Der of prominent people for arson.
Proofs of loss on this property have
just been made on the companies in
volved for about so cents on dollar
by Urban j. Lewis, banker of Keno
sha. There is that sentiment notice
able among underwriters that notwith-
standing the substantiated claim OF
arson, payment can be enforced. The
proofs are quite innocent in their way,
the answer to the question as to the
cause of the fire reading unknown. "

their success seems to lie in the care
they take to replenish the soil. All

GOOD SOUND SENSE.
Bro Kllleen Sees the Interests of the
City in the Proper Light.
[Kenosha Union

[KenoSha Union.
Considerable has been said in the
city papers the past week in regard to
the reQuirments of the two manufacture
ing industries that have been offered
inducements to move to other places.
We called on Mr.. Windsor Tuesday
and he informed us that all he asks is a
loan of $4,000 to erect a suitable
building near the railroad track, the
loan to be secured by mortgage on
the plant. He commenced here with
two hands year ago last June andis
now employing 80 hands, and if he had
room could give employment to TO.
The wages paid average $3.50 day.
Mr. Jones informed us some time ago
that all he asks is for our citizens to
subscribe for some stock, as the busi-
ness has outgrown the capital of the
company and they want to increase
their facilities in order to be able to
keep up with their increased trade.
Neither of these institutions are trying
bluff game, as published in Wauke-
gan paper and copied in one of our
home papers. With a little effort we
think these very moderate requirements
could be met. Will our people let
them go elsewhere? We hope not.

Pull Together.

There are some citizens who are in
clined to be skeptical as to the future
of Kenosha and cavil at what has been
done or what may be done, and who
are yet quite unwilling to do anything
themselves to further the welfare of
the city. To secure permanent
growth all must pull together. Force
a prosperous and substantial future by
taking advantage of past experience
and present opportunities.
It is safe to say that in new as we'll
as old times it has been and is now
c )nsidered sensible thing for men to
do their own building up of towns, cit
les, homes and characters, substantial,
solid and reliable.
Kenosha has made fast advancement
during the past few years. 1t expects
to 90 ahead and continue to prosper.
In this expectation, however, lies a
duty which our citizens must perform
in a practical, business like manner,
regardless of petty individual feelings,
opinions, requests or demands.
Let us adopt for our motto the gen
eral interests of +" Kenosha first, indi-
vidual interests second"
The above me must adhere to at all
times, if we wish to advance. What
ever proves to be for the good of the
city as a whole and it's citizens at large
will certainly benefit every individual,
either directly or indirectly. Remem-
Der, and all pull together.

PAYMENT REFUSED.
A Kenosha County Patient at the Racine
Asylum Refused Support.

The Racine county insane asylum is
used jointly by Kenosha county. The
trustees of that asylum have received
word from the secretary of the state
board of control, that the board has
refused to allow any compensation for
taking care of Peter McGinty, who
went to that place from this county.
His care embraces fifty-two weeks
time and the amount due under previ-
GUS arrangements was $l62.24. There
are five patients from Racine county
given the same treatment. The board
refuses on the ground that these per-
sons are idiots and imbeciles and not
insane. This is quite a new thing.
The state has always paid for the keep
ing of these people heretofore.
It is understood that twenty three
other counties have been given the
same dose. District Attorney Nelson,
of Racine county, has. started a move
ment between these counties looking
toward the taking of some action in
the matter.

1t seems highly probable thai the re-

Ton, will be secured before long for a
concert here. Her agent was in the
city this morning and announced the
fact that she had a date Oct %, which
was not filled in, and if a small guar
antee could be raised she would stop
over here and give us one concert with
John Shelton, cornet virtuoso; Miss
Mary Darlington, either soloist; Robert
W. Stevens, concert pianist, and the
excellent Russian pianist, Otto Pfeffen-
korn. All the members of this COM
pany are so we'll known that no word
need be said by us concerning the great
treat it would be to hear them. The
matter has been put in the hands OF
the Y. NJ. G. A., and will undoubtedly
be used by that organization as sup
plement to its regular course. The or

lated if it can secure the company.

HUEFFER NOT KIDNAPPED.
Statement by the District Attorney and
the Under Sheriff.

The following statement was made
and signed Wednesday evening by Dis
trict Attorney Buckmaster and Under
Sheriff Harkins and has reference to
the charge launched against the man
who worked up the big arson case:
'In connection with the charges pre-
ferred by Bernhard H. Hueffer against
Inspector F. G.. Cowie and others of al
legged kidnapping it surely will be OF
interest to the public to learn the fol-
lowing facts
Hueffer was one of the defendants in
the big arson case and was allowed to
go on his own recognizance and the
professional assurance of his attorney,
Mr.. Gray, to the district attorney that
he would produce him heLe at the time
of the trial. Hueffer, however, failed
to come, but instead he sent his wife
and daughter to assist the guilty ones
to escape justice. The district attorney
has now in his possession a sworn
statement signed by Huefer showing
and stating fully his criminal connec-
ton with the case. This is the same
Hueffer whom Mr.. Foster, an attorney
for the defense, in his opening address
to the jury, branded a professional fire
bug. AS Hueffner was not kidnapped,
but legally arrested by the under sher-
if, it is plain that the charges against
Inspector Cowie are merely trumped
up to injure him.
