leave Saturday. without even inform
ing the sheriff whittier he was bound

just at dusk Daily inquired of Mrs.

granted the privilege before and she
assented. Coatless but wearing an
old white felt hat he took the pail and
iourneyed to the kitchen, out the
door to the water faucet, where he de-
posted the pail.
The next seen of him was by one Of
the sheriff's little girls who caught
glimpse of him just disappearing over
the rear fence into the alley. Before
the alarm was given he had flown out
of sight. Sheriff Dickinson and I'm

Bloomington, Wis Oct. /, 1901
This is the season for the people of
Dubuque and Grant county to COM
plete arrangements for that electric
road, to be built from Dubuque
through Grant county, taking in Ha-
eel Green, Platteville. Lancaster and
Bloomington. 1t is safe 10 say that
the people along the line will take
stock. as the road would be a paying
venture from its inception. Grant
county is woefully lacking in trans
portation facilities, and such road
as the one proposed would be an i'm
mense convenience 10 the people
along the line Along the entire
route it would traverse a country un-
paralleled in agricultural richness,
and the question of profit in such a
venture is never raised by those ac-
quainted with the route. AS Du-
buque is the greatest beneficiary and
the largest city, it remains for her
people to make the first move.
The following named residents of
this city attended the La Crosse tair
last Thursday: Messrs. and Mes

F. NJ. Hoskins, NJ. F. Woodhouse, P.

the foundation OF which is nearly

OCTOBER WEATHER
Predictions by Ir1 r. Hicks for this Month.

on that day, greatly increasing the
probability Of warm October rains and
thunder southwark, but turning to
early snow squalls later in northern
sides OF the country. A glance at the
storm chart shows that very unusual
combination of disturbing causes
bears on the regular storm period,
which is central on the fifteenth, COW
ering the thirteenth to the eighteenth.
The Mercury period. the autumnal
equinox, the Mars period and the Jul
piter disturbances are all to be seen
to extend their influences into this
part of October. The conjunction of
the moon with the sun on the twelfth
will percipitate the change to warmer
with falling barometer at the very
outset of this regular Vulcan period
and returning storms of rain and
snow will pass across the country
about Monday, the fourteenth, to
Thursday the seventeenth. The
changes for heavy autumnal gales
over the lakes and north Atlantic are
many at this period. At the crisis
of these storms it will be best to look
for some early winter. Snow and
sleet are more than probable in north
ern sections, with high northwesterly
gales and an October cold wave.
a perceptible change to warmer will
be noted in the west about the nine
teenth; this change viii be followed
bv falling barometer and cloudiness,
and October rains, fringed in the
north by sleet and snow, Will traverse
the country from west to east during
the twentieth to twenty-second.
Some of the heaviest storms of the
month may certainly be counted on
during the Vulcan storm period cen
trail on the twsnty-sixth. The moon
will be on the equator on the twenty
fourth, full on the twenty-seventh and
in perigee on the twentv-eighth.
Watch all agricultural and maritime
interests at this time. Cold wave viii
follow.

PRESIDENTSnORDER
Enquiries in Relation to Presidential Succession.

that the president Of the senate and
speaker Of the house might be entire
ly out of sympathy with the admin
istration and with the popular ma
iority that entrusted it with power.
Moreover, wholesale assassination or
even accidental death might conceiv-
ably leave the country without a legal
president.
Legislation to correct these evils,
after consideration for nearly 10 years.
was finally enacted in 1886. One
function Of the vice presidency, that
of presiding over the senate, passes
now as before TO the president OF that
body. So far, he is acting vice presi-
dent; for other purposes the Office re-
mains vacant during the rest of his
term. Senator Fay is now president
Of the senate, but it is entirely with
in the power of the senate to super
sede him with another at the opening
or in the course Of any session. The
law of 1856 changes the course Of
presidential succession, after the vice
president, to mem bers of the cabinet,
in the order of their seniority. In
case of the death Of both president
and vice president the secretary Of
state will become president. By his
death, the secretary OF the treasury;
by his. the secretary Of war; then the
attorney general, postmaster general,
secretary of the navy, and secretary
Of the interior, in the order given.
The secretary Of agriculture is not in
cluded in this list, because that office
did not exist when the law was
passed There are now, therefore.
eight lives between the presidency
and the vacancy. As this law was
first drawn, it contain ed provision for
special election, as soon as possible
after the succession to the presidency
OF any member of the cabinet. This
was stricken out in order to prevent
undue political confusion and excite
ment. As the law now stands, any
person succeeding 10 the presidency
serves out the entire term for which
the dead president was elected.

Ii the following weather predic-
tions for the month of October by the
Rev. Fri K. Hicks are to be relied upon
the outlook for the late fairs is any
thing but cheerful.
A Mars period of disturbance cen
trial any time in October is sufficient
cause for experimenting heavy autumn
nal storms. The storm chart shows
that such a period is central on Octo-
Der ?, extending beyond the middle
of the month. Coincident with this
center of the Mars period is a regular
Vulcan storm period, extending from
the first 10 the 9th. The storm chart
shows also that both the Jupiter per-
iod and the autumn4l equinox are
still perturbing factors through all or
much of October.
We will, scarcely have recovered
from heavy equinoxial storms late in
Septem Der when renewed storm con-
ditions will begin to appear in the
western parts of the country. Tenn
peratures. barometers and winds will
all give premonitions Of coming
change. Between the I'd and the 9th
these conditions will grow into cloudi-
ness. and rain and snow will touch
many parts of the country IN their
transition from west to east about
Wednesday the second. to Saturday,
the fifth. Wise students of these fore
casts will never be caught wholly un-
awares by the change to much colder
weather which is almost sure to crowd
closely behind the storms at such
times as the present period. As
change TO warmer comes Immediately
in front of active storm areas, so
change to colder NAV be counted on,
even before the western edge CT rain
and snow have quite passed any local
ity.
From the eighth to the tenth anti
storm conditions will give place to re-
turn Of falling barometer and other
conditions leading to more storms OF
rain and snow. The ninth is the CEN
trail day Of this reaetionary period.

Several inquiries have reached the
Herald in relation to the presidential
succession. One subscriber asks who
was the president during the interval
between President McKinley's death
and the swearing in of President
Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was
OF course. There is 40 lnterregnum
in the line of preside nts any more
than in the line OF kings. The mo-
ment a ruler dies his legal successor
takes his place. automatically. The
succession is established by organic
law, written or unwritten-by the
constitution in the United States
and by statute laws passed in accord
ance with it. 1t is only confirmed by
formalities like administering the oath
to a president or proclaiming the
succession of a king. King Edward
VII has not yet been crowned. and he
was not proclaimed king until some
hours after Queen Victoria's death.
He was king from the moment the
breath left her body So was Roose-
Welt president from the moment Me-
Kinley ceased to live This is a rule
of common public law which is iden-
teal in all civilized nations. II may
be suspended practically by war over
contested SUGGESTIONS. Even then,
the successful contestant always
counts his reign as beginning from
the mome1t OF his predecessor
death.
Another correspondent asks: o.
What is the law Of the presidential
succession? and ~ Is the Office Of
vice president left vacant during the
res; Of the term?
The vice president has only two
functions. One is to preside over
the senate: the other is to succeed TO
the presidency on the presidents
death. Up to 1856 both of these func-
tions passed from the vice president
to the president pro tenn Of the SEN
ate. and from him the presidential
succession passed to the speaker OF
the house Of representatives. The
objection to this arrangement was
