been formulated and also referred TO the
situation In the Philippines. fntimating
that the opposition to ratification was the
principal source of encouragement 10 the

Did You See Stars.

- Tuesday evening number of onr
citizens made arrangements for keep.
ing late hours to witness the shower
of stars that was predicted to fall
waiting in vain. j
A party of young people met at
the home Of T. l.. Mitchell and en-.
joyed tho first part of tho night in
games, music, refreshments and 9TH
er forms of amusement, not going
hvme until about two o'clock in the
morning after waking up number
of their friends who desired to get up
at this time, to watch for the event.
Those who got up early Wednes-
day morning were rewarded for their
loss of sleep, as about five o'clock,
two shooting stars were seen. They
appeared but for few moments and
were very small.
Giant fire crackers were shot of
during the night in different parts Of
the town, sounding like a Fourth Of
July. Some of the boys say that our
jeweler seeing the flash of q cracker
in close proximity to his house woke
his wife up to see the shower Of
meteors.
