that the meeting arranged i'm order that the
Governor might lay before the Cardinal the reasons

sell their lands. The American adds:
with Cardinal Gibbons convinced Of the advlsa-

The plan to widen Fifty -ninth-st., which has

commend itself to the good will OF prudent and

Obituary.
MRS. ELLEN COMPTON.

Death came suddenly again to our
community on Thursday, May 22d, and
took away the wife of Mr.. Lannes Comp
ton. Her illness had been but short and
was not considered dangerous until the
last day. But efforts were unavailing
and Mr.. Compton and his little children
were left sorrowing. Ellen Effie Comp
ton was born in Edgerton on Jan. 3, 1868,
and was married to Mr.. Lannes Compton
on April 2, 1890 Her home has always
been here and she was we'll known
among the older residents. She leaves
two little children, aged four and six
years, two brothers, Mr.. Geo. Doty and
Mr.. William Doty, and one sister, Miss
Ida Doty of GAINESVILLE. She was faith
full wife and mother who lived for her
children. Their life was her world. Flu
neral services were held at the home on
Sunday afternoon, May 25th, the pastor
of the Congregational church officiating
A large number of friends attended and
followed to the place of interment in
Fassett cemetery.

The Badger State Company Decides te
Abolish Stockholders Passes.

The Badger State Company Decides to
Abolish stockholders Passes.
A special meeting of the Badger State
Long Distance Telephone Co. was held
at GAINESVILLE Friday afternoon to discuss
the proposition of eliminating the passes
or coupon books held by stockholders.
The call for the meeting brought out
about Is of the stockholders and 100 of
the 275 shares of stock were represented
either in person or by proxy. The tinan-
cial condition of the company was also
considered and an effort was made and
brought out number of offers to take
more stock in order to wipe out the
$4,000 of bonded and other indebted
ness that is at present one of the serious
propositions presenting itself to the
stockholders. Towards the close of the
meeting guarantees to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars were made toward
raising the necessary amount, and all
the members seemed to feel highly en-
couraged over the prospects.
It was almost the unanimous desire OF
those present to do away with the free
service given stockholders, the only
point that divided the meeting was to
settle upon date of putting the order
into effect, whether January LIST next or
at once. 1t was finally settled that the
coupon books will be abolished on July
l, and the secretary will so notify all the
stockholders, though there may be a
protest on the part of some to give up
the free privileges.
The directors were empowered to con-
tinue the work of securing more sub
scriptions to stock, and arrange a sys-
tenn whereby the present outstanding
obligations will be reduced and the
money now needed to pay interest can
be converted to dividend fund. For
this purpose stock will be sold for a linn
tied time at 10 per cent discount

June Weather.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks in predicting the
forecasts for the coming month, says:
There can be no reasonable doubt that
the peculiar conditions last summer
were the direct results of the unusual
concentration of planets; and that the
appalling seismic horrors now falling up
on many sections of our planet are only
the sequel to this same astronomic COM
bination, all of which have been fore
Swallowed in our charts and forecasts for
ten years, no one can reasonably dis
prove.
The annual tendency to electrical and
seismic disturbances from about the 10th
to near the end of June will be increased
this month by the causes enumerated
above. The regular Vulcan storm per-
iod will be central on the 1st extending
to the 9th, causing storms and very like
ly seismic unrest IN many parts of the
earth. Another storm period is due 9th
to the 10th, when thunder storms and a
downpour of rain is very natural. Dur
ing the 10Th to 21st marked storm condi-
tons will return and more storms and
rain will pass eastward over the CONT
nent. All through this part of June
there will be an abnormal tendency to
constant and startling displays of light
ming. Monday June %, and Friday, 81
are fixed as period of thunder storms
in most parts of the country, culminat-
ing in rain, hail and wind, amounting to
cloudbursts in many quarters. Hay
makers and agriculturalists should have
thought for such probable emergencies
1t is needless for US to tell any one who
has followed us for ten years past that
we have constantly pointed to the cul-
minating astronomic conditions, which
we have insisted would lead to maxi
mum of just such horrors as are now
startling the globe. Fifty thousand ad s hui
persisted by storm, earthquake and vol
