HICKS FOR JUNE.
STORMS WILL cHARACTERizE THE
WEATHER THIS MONTH.
So says well-Known Weather Man
Who entirely Overlooked This
section In May.

June is to be a month of rain and
severe storms according to the Rev.
Hicks forecast. The Venus pertni ba-
tion. extending over the greater part
of the month. and the regular summer
solstice, will result in vicious Thunder
storms and June thunder storms almost
any afternoon and evening.
The storms the first half OF the
month will, as has been the case in the
latter part of May. be preceded by ex-
ceeding high temperatures and follow
ed by Dhenomenally cool DAYS and
nights. With the first storm period
from the Bird to 9th thunder and hail
with heavy downpours, amounting TO
cIoudbursts in many places the Rev.
Hicks says, will probably be expert
enced.
In and touching the 9th and 10th,
look for reaction to storm conditions
change to much warmer, falling ba-
rometer aud more storms of rain, thun-
der. and heavy squalls of wind.
The remaining storm periods, due to
the summer solstice, will be from the
Sth to 18th, 18th to 10th, 21st to 22nd
and the 25th. Rev, Hicks adds: MANY
electrical storms will be most'natural.
with some-en ergetic and dangerous
wind storms. Watch the clouds, YOUR
barometer and other indications.
Make careful plans to avoid the
June showers, especially III your hay
making at this time. Under no cir
cumstances should one ever take refuge
under green tree in one of these vi
cious, June thunder storms.
1t is most respectfully submitted
that of Mr.. Hicks can not do any better
for June than he did for Nav, he had
better 90 out of the weather-making
business. b etween him and the man
at Washington one doesn't know what
to expect.

ARE STR|NG|NG CABLES
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. Making Improvements.
BETTER SERVICE WILL RESULT
Wires in Business Section Of the CITY Being
Enclosed and Dangerous Connections
With Other Wires Eliminated.

The Chesapeake and Potomac teie.
phone company is making numerous
| improvements in its line through
ont this CITY. which will be or great
benefit to their patrons, as the limo
will be in shape to give better service.
AT p sent they have large number
of skilled workmen here maging the
change in the line.
All Of the wires are being put ii
| an overhead cable on the principal
streets, and it will be great im-
provement and do away with she mn
merous loose wires and lessen the dan
ger CT falling live wires, as the cable
will not be broken down by heavy
storms during the winter months, and
| will be saving in time to the ems
ploves of the com pany. The cable
| will extend ON Queen street from
about the Snodgrass store to the High
school building and all OF the loose
| wires in this section will be put into
the cable. A cable will also run from
the Lutheran church corner to the
corner Of Martin and College street,
which at later date will be continu-
ed further up Martin street: They
expect to do away with all of the
overhead wires and have all cables.
which will give them better oppor-
trinity to work at their wires ants
will save great amount of labor.
They have erected a number Of poles
on Queen street and also ON West Mar
tin street, lessening the distance be-
tween the poles. which will strengthen
the line. All the POLES are from so to
65 feet high, which will place the ca
BILE far above the side walk.
There are about ten linemen and fif-
| teen gronndmen at work today. and
with this number the company ex-
poets 10 have the line completed i'll q
short time. as they do not want to in
/ convenience their patrons more than
they can help. There is of course some
| inconvenience in changing the sys-
| TEN. A few OF their inss were crossed
out this morning but the employe OF
| the company wee very courteous and
messenger was sent 70 the person
whose line was out. asking him to use
the phone at central and throughout
| the day they were doing every thing
they could TO benefit the users of their
system
change have been in the past very
dangerous. they being very close
TO the electric light wires and the
company is now remedying this by
moving the pole in front of the ex-
change across the street. An under
ground cable will be run from the
pole near Bentz's store under the
building IN which the exchange is
situated and enter the Office at the
rear By doing this it will lessen the
danger. as during electrical storm Z
great damage was done. The COMPANY
all along the new system is keeping as
far from the electric wires as possible.
This Improvement will greatly de.
crease the NUMBER of loose wires
throughout the CITY, as the Winches-
ter company as already nat a large
number of their wires in cables, and
practically will do away with all OH
Queen street between the square and
the corner of Race street. with the
exception of few that connect the
phones in that section.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Every christian in every christian
Land rejoices in Christmas. There is a
charm Of loving fellowship and good
win in the occasion that kindles warm
impulses of generosity and kind remem-
brance for the loved ones. and for those
who have need of love and charity. 1t
would be well for humanity IL the gem
erous impulses did not cool with the
passing Of the Christmas tide but pleas.
ant memories of good deeds remain to
brighten the year and inspire more gen.
erous deeds still at the next Yule time.
No tribunal can prove when Christ was
born, no one living ever saw Him or
heard his voice, or ever saw anyone who
had seen Him or heard Him speak. Net
Helives in the hearts Of millions a. tan
gibly as If He stood among the beggars,
the afflicted, the sinful of today, and
spake the things called parallels, be-
cause Of the ignorance of those who lis
tened, and performed the things called
miracles, because tina ignorance of wit
nesses could not comprehend the law
whereby they were possible. Many
things connected with His history are as
uncertain as the day and place of His
birth. Why then does He hold the fol-
lowing Of the best, the most intelligent
nations of the EARTH Because He is the
highest, noblest model Of man that has
ever been given, because mankind wants
the best and knows the hest and believes
in the best. because His identity is all
pervading. His spirit Is abroad today
as II was when he walked with his disci-
pies and they could not see Him because
He was spirit and they saw only with
physical vision. He walks with the
children of earth today, though their
earthly vision does not discover His
form. He does make His presence felt
in their consciousness. and the world ia
better for His presence Upon the day
that Is commemorated as His birth day
be enters into the reality Of human lives
more intensely because it Is celebration
in His honor, their thoughts are turned
to Him and line of definite tender COM
munication is established which makes
Christmas day the blessedest day of all
| the year.

Hon. Emil Baensch OF Manitowoc, is
out with long letter defining his posi-.

tunate for him, estimable gentleman

Madison Journal should assume god
fathership for his advent into the polit-

Mr.. Baensch claims to stand for the

wants to accomplish them by some mys-
terious circuituous route. The consist
