The earth's shadow and the Oc-
tober moon will meet on the 18th.
INST. at 9 p. M, and the moon will
be in total eclipse. The eclipse
will have several unusual features.
1t will last for an hour and half,
just half an hour less than the
longest period of total eclipse.
When the man of the moon sud-
denly disappears the superstitious
incline to the belief that weird
things happen. 1t is at such times,
they say, that the sick are most
likely to die, while all kinds of ill
luck will follow the person who
sees the moon over the left should
er in cloud. The three fates are
said to hide in the earth's shadow
and cast their spells upon people
born under certain stars.

How we dislike the person who
is always discouraging US, by pre-
senting the dark side, and fearing
the worst. The Democrats are still
viewing with alarm as they have
been for a long time. This seems
to be their special business. We
are glad that the Republican party
has a better, pleasanter, and more
profitable occupation.

The west cannot be too grateful
to President Roosevelt for his part

We faithfully believe that many
good pieces of mining property in
different sec tions of the country,
some in our own county. are being
overlooked, owing to the fact that
they have been reported upon, and
handled by men skilled in geolog-
ical formations, and book learning
in general, but not in practical min
ing. We believe that the prospectors

\ Ground Hog CnSe.

If the ground hog came out of his
winter quarters Sunday for the pur.
pose of stretching his legs, or of siz
ing up. the political situation in the
state, or of acquiring information re.
garding the bribery trials. or for any
purpose whatever, he went back
again, and it seems a pity he couldn't
have taken some of the political
wrangling back with him.
According to tradition, the ground
hog is weather prophet. He does
not sit aloft in tower with numerous
electrical devices and a fat salary.
neither does he edit an almanac with
the picture of dissected man on the
cover, but the people believe in him.
If he sees his shadow when he annual
~ energies from his cave-home on
February ,, he goes back into the
moist earth and sleeps for six weeks.
The ground hog saw his shadow Sun
day, for there was sunshine in the air
a part of the day. And so. according
to tradition there will be six more
weeks of winter.
Six weeks is long time to sleep,
but, after ALL the habit has its advan-
tages. The ground hog is safe in Civ
