Several weather prophets have been
predicting an unusually severe winter.
Now comes Robert Walker, an old
timer of Stutsman county, N D.,
who predicts an open winter. He bases
his prediction on the fact that gophers
and badgers are still running around
on the prairies. He'says that when a
cold winter is coming the gophers and
badgers house up early in November,
there to remain until spring.

His purpose was to surprise and rout

1t is said here that they thus reached
San Pablo, where the Liberals are in
force, and that fighting is taking place
there. The Liberals are under the
command of General Lugo.
Between the stations of Culebra and
Empire over $50 killed and wounded
men could be seen along the track.
The sight was gruesome. There is no
proper Red Cross organization and
the wounded lack care.
The Liberals at Colon declare the
majority of the men killed on the line
to be Conservative troops and that the
rebels are still in force along the rail
road. Three hundred of the Iowa's
marines were landed at Panama to
protect the property Of the railroad
and to ensure the continuance of
transit across the isthmus.
In government circles in Panama
there is still entire confidence in Gen.
eral Alban, and It is believed there
that he is auIe to cope with the pres

difficulties before him.

government has 400 men at Panama.

bridge that leads into Panama, as well
