Bit BY a Dog.

Tuesday evening Harold Vert
was attacked and severely bitten
by G. +. Flynn's bird dog. The
dog was standing in front OF
Beasom's hardware store when
Harold attempted to pass him
and enter the store. As he did
SO, he reached out his hand to
pet the dog, when it suddenly
sprang at him. The animals
teeth entered the flesh above
and below the boys right eye,
infiicting a painful, though not
serious wound. DR.. Lane dressed
it and Harold is getting along
very nicely. The dog has been
tormented for some time by the
small boys about town and it is
probable that this has made him
ugly.

HICKS ON JULY.
Hail Storms, Heavy Rain and Wind Pre-
dicted by the st. Louis Man.

On Friday and Saturday, July
4th and 9TH, Moon is at her extreme
declination north, in perigee, and at
New Moon. These facts, added to
other existing causes, foreshadow a
warm wave of great intensity, low
state of barometric pressure, a high
per cent. of atmospheric humidity,
and some wicked storms of thunder,
wind, rain and hail Those most
interested should make all practical
ble provision against destructive
hail storms at this and other storm
periods during the Venus disturb
ance.
The 10th day of July is not strict
ly within the limits of storm per
iod, but it is the date on which the
moon crosses the celestial equator,
and is covered by the combined in,
t1ueuce Of the Venus and Mercury
periods. Hence the reactionary
storms Que about the llth to the
18th, will most probably develop on
and touching the 10th Excessive
warm weather will exist prior to
storm CulmInations at this time.
The opposition of the planet Saturn
falls on the 18th, and unless fire.
Quent and general electrical storms
occur to break up the contraction of
solar energy, prolonged term OF
intensely warm weather will con-
tinue through ali the central part of
the month.
The central Vulcan storm period
for the month covers the 18th to the
Goth. being central on the 18th. the
day OF Saturn 5 opposition with
earth and sun. This period is also
covered by the combined Influences
Of Venus and Mercury. We may
therefore expect some notable dis
turoances between Wednesday, the
10th and Monday, the Goth. II
these disturbances do not take the
form OF heavy electrical storms, pbe-
noUenal heat will prevail and seis-
mic perturbations will probably
culmlnate on and near the 20th. II
general and marked electrical
storms develop at this period-re-
suits rather to be expected-there
will come gracious {respite from
consuming heat and drouth. thus
assisting and perhaps SAVING the
corn crop in many western to north
western sections.
