Hicks For November.
He Predicts Stormy Month-Thunder
Storms and Snow Storms.

The stars in connection with Fri
day and Saturday, the Ist and and,
indicate that reactionary disturbance
will be central on those dates, causing
rise in temperature, falling barome-
ter and scattering storms and squalls
of rain and snow from about the 1st
to the 3rd.
A sharp, sudden rise of the baro-
meter and change to colder will fol-
low close after these disturbances,
but as sudden change back to storm
condition will come about the 5th IN
western extremes. About Wednes-
day the 9th to Sunday the 10th,
storms of wind, rain and snow will
make their transit from west to east
across the country.
Only brief intermisson will inter-
vene between this vulcan period and
the reactionary change due from the
nth to the 14th. Conjunction OF the
moon with sun and earth, or new
moon on the nth, will check the ten
dency to nigh barometer and cold,
and a sudden return to warmer, low
barometer and rain and snow will be
natural about Monday the nth to
Thursday the I4th. These reaction.
AIRY storms will be followed by more
persistent and general over central
and northern sections for several days
leading up to the vulcan storm period
Central on the 18th. This vulcan
storm period extends from the 10th
to the goth, the 2oth being the cen
tral day of the Venus period, with the
moon again on the celestial equator
in her passage from south to north
declination. Some of the most de-
cided storms of the month may be ex-
pected from about Sunday the I7,h
to Tuesday the aIst. These storms
will reach a crisis on and touching
the goth, rain, wind and thunder being
followed in many sections within a
few hours by northwesterly gales,
driving snow and change to freezing
The freezing weather following the
last storms will react to warmer from
the 2Srd to 10th. On the 18th the
moon is full and in perigee, or near

improper In substantiation OF this
he cited two decisions of the supreme
court, wherein it was held that larceny
as bailee implies that the defendant
was given something IN trust, and OBJ
liged to return that identical thing,
and no equivalent or alternative.
In this case, however, an alterna-
tive in the shape of money in pay.
ment was expected, and therefore the
charge in the bill of indictment was
incorrect.
Judge Ralston admitted the dis
tinction, and expressed the opinion
that the case was breach of contract,
with a civil remedy only. He there
fore instructed the jury to render a
verdict OF not guilty, which was done.
There are many cases OF similar
nature coming up in this region and
by this decision a civil action is nee
essary and then the defendant can
take advantage of the 5000 law.

Telephone Branch Line Completed.
Can Now Talk Direct with Ashland, Centralia
and other Towns Previously Isolated.

A construction gang of fifteen men
under Superintendent J. P. Aiken
who are putting the finishing touches
on the new branch OF the United
Telephone & Telegraph Company
which will connect Danvlle and Ash
land arrived in Danvllle after dark
last Monday evening.
The new line, which is twenty
miles long, has been in course of con-
struction for some four months, The
workmen, who are now engaged in
stringing the copper wire reached a
point within two miles of Danvlle
Monday. BY Saturday next it is
thought that the new branch will be
in working order.
The completion will not only give
us direct communication with Cata-
wissa and Ashland, but will also bring
into the service large territory which
heretofore has known nothing of the
advantages of telephone or telegraph
communication.
Among the new towns that Dan
vile can talk to are Shutdown, Nu.
india, Aristes and Centralia AS is
natural in these isolated localities the
residents welcomed the telephone
with opened arms as an agency cal
cnlated to bring an added charm into
their daily life. Twenty subscribers
were secured before the completion
of the line and as is natural after the
value and convenience of the service
is fully demonstrated the patronage
will increase many fold DanOiLt

ALL IN FEAR OF CHILE.
South American Republics May Drop
Out of the Proposed Conference.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-The re
ports that have been sent abroad from
Washington during the last few days
regarding the postponement or aban-
donment of the proposed conference
of American republics at Mexico in
October are based entirely upon CON
lecture. But the matter is just now
in very bad tangle. Peru. Bolivia
and the Argentine republic may with
draw their acceptance because the
committee of arrangements consent
ed to conditions exacted by Chile as
the price of her attendance That
committee is now at deadlock over
the question whether the conference
shall consider the principle of arbi-
tration in the past. present or future
tense.
All the republics except Chile ac.
cepted the invitation to participate in
the conference with the understand
ing that arbitration should be con-
sidered in the presen. tense Chile
declined to accept unless there was
an understanding that it should be
considered in the future tense only.
The committee called meeting which
was attended by the ministers from
Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and
the United States. Assistant Secreta-
ry Hill representing the latter gov
ernment. AS an inducement to Sc
cure full attendance of the nineteen
American republics at the conference
it was decided to grant the concession
demanded by Chile. Peru, Bolivia
and the Argentine republic immediate
ly entered protests. A second meet
ing of the committee was called. at
which the minister from Bolivia, who
was absent at the first meeting. ap-
peared and demanded reconsidera-
ton. The vote was a tie. Ecuador
and Costa Rica on one side, Colombia
and Bolivia on the other; the Unit
ed States refusing to vote. There
the matter stands at present. The
government of Peru has given notice
that it will withdraw if the conces-
sion granted Chile stands. Bolivia and
the Argentine republic will probably
do the same. Paraguay. Uruguay
and Brazil are In sympathetic mood.
In the meantime the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the several American
republics are in correspondence with
