AS SEEN IN TOPEKA.
Eclipse Plainly Visible by Aid of
Smoked Glass.

A large number of Topeka people saw
the eclipse of the sun this morning.
It began at $50 and was over before 9
O'Clock.
It was useless to try to examine the
eclipse without the aid of a smoked
glass. The shadow on the sun had
little effect on the brilliancy of the orb
of day. and even when its face was
almost covered there was little diminu-
ton of the dazzling rays.
Those who used a smoked glass or
an exposed negative were treated to an
unusual sight. The sun had very much

three-Quarter phase at 1880, and at s

Women and children with their eyes
protected with smoked glass lined the
residence streets as early as z o'clock
1t is seldom that any planet or moon
dares to cross the path of the sun and
those who saw the eclipse today may
rest content in the knowledge that it
will be many years before another op-
portunity presents itself.
The eclipse was total only in a very
small portion of the United States, a
strip so miles wide passing through New
Orleans and northward through Nor
folk, Virginia, and into the Atlantic
Ocean and across the northern portion
of Africa.

The story of the killing. as told by Dep

The officers came upon the outlaws

the outlaws they dismounted and ad-

spoke to them saying: Hello, boys
The reply made could not be heard by

made, Sheriff Tyler and Jenkins turned
