He M arried Her to Mil

PRICE OF GRAPES
Has Advanced Greatly This
Season Over Form or
Years.

There Is great advance in the price
of grapes this season over former
years. One of the prominent grape
dealers says that Concords and Ives
were selling at $40 ton and the Cat
awba and Delawares would find an easy
market at $50 ton. Last season Con-
cords and Ives were selling at $40 q
ton with no buyer while the better
grade of grapes only brought 500 ton
to the dealers.
1t is understood that this advance
in prices is not due to the scarcity OF
grapes brought about by a poor crop.
Dealers have lost so much money dur
ing the past few years that they tore
away their vineyards and gave their
attention to producing peaches and
other crops.
The farmers and islanders that stood
their losses of the past few years
without murmuring have cause to be
jubilant this year. The grape crop is
the best in years as far as quality is
concerned and the same may be said
of the prices paid.
Concords and Ives and some Della
wares are being shipped to market but
Catawbas will not be ripe for a few
weeks.

last night and in fit of jealousy shot
Mrs. Notter Sampson and then him

EARTH SURPRISED BY
SHOWER OF METEORS
Professor of Astronomy Re-
marks on Phsnomena in
CIeveis nd n d Canton.

Cleveland, O., Sept 20. - Rev. Fred
erick Odenbaci, professor of astron-
omy at st. Ignatius college, this city,
believes the~earth has just passed or
is passing through a shower or vagrant
meteors which have at present no
place in the charts of astronomers.
81 come to this conclusion" said
Father Odenbach, because, about the
same time, a great meteor was OBJ
served here last Monday, another was
seen at Canton, o., and when there
are two of them SO close together, 1t
leads me to believe that there are a
great many more in other parts Of the
world"
In addition to these two Ohio me-
teors, one was reported at Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. at almost the same instant.
This one was likewise a most brill
liant one and was said to have been
as big as an electric searchlight.
1t is an important discovery to as
tronomy IL the earth really Is passing
through star shower. hitherto un-
known to science and the fact that
Prof. Odenbach thinks SO lends weight
to that theory, for his researches are
always accepted as authority by the
government and his observations oi
meteorological phenomena and deduc-
tioGs therefrom are among the most
valuable contributions received by the
weather bureau at Washington.
