Long Distance Predictions.

The government weather bnreau
pleads not guilty to the charge of fore
casting the storm two moIths ago that
visited St. Paul Sunday. The official
forecaster says the weather bureau
would gladly enter the fell of long dis
tance predictions if science would per.
nit it, but that all efforts n that direc
tion have been futile. Then, rs n matter
Of fact all these prediction: month or
or more in advance of rains and storms
are merely guess work. The man who
makes the prediction knows that at
certain seasons of the year rains and
storms ars plentiful, aud relying upon
the inclination Of the weather to follow
in well-beaten path he risks a predic-
ton If he hits it in one instance his
fame is assured. He will find some way
of excusing himself for his repeated
failures.

OPPOSES COY. DAVIS.
Atiorney-Gcneral Murphy VIII Not
Support Him, and viii Vote
for Harry II. Myers.
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little RocS Gazette
Attorney Gen. G.. w. Murphy.
in a letter written to a friend n
this city, and made public with the
permission of the writer, has an
uOunced that he will refuse to sup
port Gov. Davis in the coming
election and will vote for II. IT,.
Myers, the Republican nominee
for governor. Col. Murphy also
declares that he will return from
Canada, where he is spending the
summer, if necessary, and meet
any Democrat on the stump who
denies the charges which he makes
against Davis, or who maintains
that the nomination Of Davis binds
Democrats to vote for him. In his
letter Col. Murphy gives the rca.
sous which have led him TO make
this decision, and declares that in
doing so he is carrying ont his
convictions Of duty, regardless of
the effect that il may have upon
him, individually and politically.
Murphy and Davis have been
bitter personal enemies for the
past two years. Since the trouble
arose Between Gov. Davis and the
other members Of the prnitentiary
board. which ended in the investi-
CATION conducted by the last lcgjs-
laturc. the two officials have not
been on speaking terms. Cot.
Murphy represented the other
members Of the penitentiary board
in the Investigation, in the course
of which he brought many charges
against the governor, In the last
campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor Col.
Murphy took an active part in
support Of Judge Wood and made
n number Of speeches in which he
bitterly assajled Gov. Davis. Up
until the present time, however,
he had made no open declaration
that he would refuse to support
Gov. Davis in the election and
would vote for the Republican
nominee.

determine those of our children,
Where and how we were born and
