ELECTRICAL STORMS IN JuEE
Hicks However Says We Will Have Fine Weather
In Month Of Ross

With the first storm period Of The
month OF June falling on the fret Of
the month, Hicks, the weather forecast
or, predicts many electrical storms and
thunder showers
On the first and second a change 10
warmer will advance eastward with
falling barometer and showers. A biYh
barometer and squirt of fresh air and
rare June days will intervene be-
tween this and the second storm period
which covers from the 4th to the 9th,
being central on the 9th. Sudden gusts
OF storminess and showers will be most
natural at the beginning of this period.
From the 9th to the 9th June thunder
storms will be in evidence, being thick
est ana most threatening on and next
TO the 'th. Change to cool and rising
barometer will succeed the storms,
bringing In some more bright June days.
l,.e third storm period. says Hicks,
is central OF 18th and 18th At this
period and the remainder of the
month, thf will be constant tenden-
cy TO aft BON thunder storms with
brilliant S''lays of lightning in the ev-
enings q s through the nights. Look
for som q we're, if not violent, rain and
wind : as at this time.

nou - storm period in June. 1t in
tin 2 ghen daily thunder storms and

in the wake of these storms. These are
apt to last until the first storm period,
which extends from the 23d to the 25th.
If the snap of the elements should have
been exhausted ty continuous and Sc
we're storms at previous periods the dis
turbances of the fifth period will be-
moderate, otherwise these reactionarv
periods will show strength and severity.
The sixth storm period begins on the
18th and runs into July. Severe storms
may be expected
In his general observation of the
month Mr.. Hicks adds; IF you are a
farmer lay your plans to work and plant
your upland as late as possible as the
rains will be sufficient to retard works
and crops in low bottom lands, in the
sections of the General and western
states until late in June.

The tobacco business has dwindled to

briskness of month ago, still there are
some deliveries made on odd days, but

Bishop Halvsrson on Socillsm

Rev. FL. Halverson of Westby, late
Bishop of the Lutheran Synod, is squoted
by the press as saying in Chicago, al
the late big church gathe! ing, concern
ing socilism and its teachings:
"The right of the individual to pos
sess property is God given. said DR..
Halversen. The property we possess
or rightfully acquire is gift from God,
which we should use according to His
will for the benefit of ourselves and
Others
1T is wrong to despise all earthly
possessions. The principles of socialism
are not founded on the scripture. They
are contrary to the teachings of Christ
and should be avoided by all true Chris
tian men and women.

GOOD PROSPECT FIR ELECTRIC ROAD.
Town Of Hamburg Gave Cord Majority for Extension
Prciect-Coon VIII Try Aagsin

AT the special meeting IN Hamburg,
last Friday, the taxpayers, by vote OF
157 to lilo, decided to extend the bonds for
construction of the La Crosse Viroqua
electric railway one year. The people
evidently believe that they are to be
benefited by the road if build, and if ii
fails to materalize they are none the
worse for having extended the bond
limit 1t seems the proper thing to do
If the citizens are really in earnest in
desiring the road.
AS we announced in last weeks CEN
SoR, Coon failed to carry the extension
proposition by an adverse majority of
one, the vote standing 139 for and 140
against When the board made q close
examination OF the list of those who
voted on the matter they discovered that
there were clearly three illegal votes
cast. On petition of resident tax-pay-
ers the vote was set aside and another
special election ordered for June Is, to
be held at the town house 1t is be-
lieved the proposition will carry by
definite majority. The railroad officials
have reduced the bonded amount from
S15, 900 to $40, 900, at three per cent in
terest, and agree TO pay all Indebtedness
of contractors owing from last years
operations. Under the existing coudi-
tions the CENSOR does not understand
VIII at objection can be raised to the pro-
positions, providing they desire the con-
struction of the line and are willing to
contribute something to its success
Coon would certainly be benefited to
the extent of $10,0 900 the first year of the
life of the road.
The CENSOR has faith that the road
will be constructed from La Crosse to
Viroqua the present year if matters
along the line are adjusted speedily We
are advised that work will commence
the day the Coon proposition is disposed
of. For these reasons our citizens are
quite anxious that their neighbors in
Coon consider the matters with a view
to the greatest good to all concerned
A public meeting will be held at the
Coon town house this Wednesday eve
ming to discuss the matters of road con-
struction and bond extension.

close TO home, and are about ten days

That the grumblers are giving the

That some of the people in town have
