Our compliments to Prof. Virgins, and
We beg TO assure him that he makes the
reason for the predicted hurricane of Sept.
2S very clear to us. Shortly before that
time, he informs us, Luna Jupiter, Mercury
and Mars Will be in conjunction, and it
doesn't take an astronomer to tell that
trouble will follow. When a quiet, modest
little woman like Luna, who is also some-
thing of a fiirt, gets her dates so mixed
that she undertakes to meet bright young
fellow like Mercury and two such naughty
and irascible men as Jupiter and Mars at
the same time and place q storm is sure
to follow. Consequently, we are satisfied
that Mr.. Virgins prediction is all right.
and we shall be glad ii he will speak to
the referee about awarding us the kineto-
scope privilege.

From Cotton to silk.

The Dry Goods Economist Judges from

Gus effort is being made IN various quarters
in New England TO turn a COnsidcra BILE part
of the machinery now employed on cotton
To the making of silk. Such n change
would seem to be the dictate of economic
laws, the Southern mills being able TO COM
pete sharply in the manufacture Of cotton
goods. While New England skill and capt
tai might hope 10 find profitable en-
ployment in the finer textile industries The
innovation will not be made without large
expense. but it will come gradually, if at
all. Given the assurance of profitable re-
turn. the mechanical cost should not be a
retardlng consideration.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Sept. 27.-There is
war on the Noblesville Gas Company
For ten years the gas company of this city
mas been drawing fat dividends on stock
that has been watered several times over
During the last four years of hard times
the stockholders have received a per cent
per annum their watered stock The COM
pany has given splendid service and no
serious accidents have happened during the
history of the plant. For these reasons, and
also on account Of the company giving what
was considered reasonable rates. no opposi-
ton has ever been made against this home
company. But the fat dividends seem TO
have whetted their appettes for more, and
the company has now commenced a
squeezing game on the people, The ordi-
nance regulating rates protects gas con-
SumerS in residences. but everything that
is not covered by the ordnance from a
blacksmith shop to the courthouse, is now
the victim of This greedy monopoly. The
company is now putting on meters in all
the factories and mills supplied by it and
all pubic buildings and intends 10 make
them pay according to meter measurement.
There is Il vigorous kick against this sort
OF robbery. and the company will feel the
just indignation OF nine-tenths of the people.
Under the new arrangement IL will cost
four times as much for fuel as under the
contracts ruling for several years past. Sew
eral lawsuits are expected under the ordi-
nance to test the legality of the meter Sys-
TEN. The County Commissioners will prob
ably sink gas well on the county farm for

house. The school Board Of this city has
under consideration the sinking of a well

ably organize Il manufacturers gas COM
pany. The people are very much aroused
over the matter and there is much talk of
another gas plant for this city. 1t is a
