ZERO WEATHER is
REPORTED NEAR
Sharp Weather Coming to Sharpen Ap-
petites for Thanksgiving Good
Things.

We will all relish our Thanksgiving
turkey tomorrow if the weather has
anything to do with it. Predictions
from Observer Sherier's office are that
the zero point will be close to the top
of the mercury column when another
day dawns. That will make the turkey
taste good, but it may not make one
feel like going out in the breezes to
see a football game afterward. Ali
promises were fulfilled in the quality
of the article served up today and this
gives confidence that the dope from
Medicine Hat for tomorrow is not far
off.

better of him. and he gave discourse
on newspapers in general and the Ar
gus in particular. and displayed evil
dence of a desire to PennypackeriZe
Rock Island in so far as the sources of
public information are concerned.
THE newspaper can continue with
its attacks if it wants to-" he said.
and then he made dire threats as TO
what might happen if somebody did
not hold him.
Tear Up Tracks.
Going further with his uneasiness
his honor began rambling about what
he was going TO do-to get even with
himself Among other things he said:
Il am going TO tear up tracks and poles
and property of protected franchise
holders. and l can do il. too, because
am chief of police and there is no
weakened puppets standing between
me and them
The mayor was working himself into
a temper that was really alarming and
as there was no one present TO defend
the callers. except the alderman. who
is the chief adviser TO the throne. the
ambassadors of the press withdrew
lest the cleaning-out process might
commence there and then.
The Aim to Keep 1t Dark.
Meanwhile the public must be kept
in the dark as to whether gambling is
garding numerous other things that
may happen in the night requiring the
attention of the police-should the self
styled chief see fit to keep them to
himself. All of which simply means
that the newspapers must exercise a
trifle more vigilance. which they will
probably be able to do.
The peculiar phase of the circum-
stance that has developed the entire
situation as it now presents itself, is
that the mayor seems determined to
place the blame for it all everywhere
but in the right place. He goes about
ranting and vowing vengeance and
threatening to tear things up generally,
whereas if he would calm down long
enough to reason with himself he prob
ably would reach the conclusion that
the blame is nowhere but with himself.
Numbered from the First.
The mayor Numbered from the very
first move in the gambling house burg
larry episode. Had he had the advan-
tage of an intelligent chief of police the
fiasco would probably not have occur
red. AS it was, the mayor made a spec
tacle of himself. not only by his &C
ton, but by his attempt to keep it
quiet. AS a matter of fact he has not yet
divulged the source of his information
in the proceeding TO which he became
party. and which simply turned out
TO be but one of those nice little
games of doublecross of which there
have been quite a-plenty in Rock Is
land of late.
Needs a Little Soothing.
The mayor should soothe himself
He is not half so Obstreperous. or so
fierce as he thinks he is. The strain
of the one-man band may have brought
its torments, even to the perpetrator.

Wyominq's Population,
From Golfers Weekly.

I1oIl SOllleT s w oeklY,
A traditional right has Deer invaded.
That square miles of fresh air in which
every inhabitant of Wyoming has been
accustomed to breathe and find elbow
room, Is squeezed and clipped about the
edges. The census Of 1905 shows that
ll0l,Sl9 people must be crowded Into
.Wyoming's 1880 square miles. Wyom-
Ing is filled up. To the effete and cab
ined citizen Of the east a square mile
Of empty air seems a dread immensitv
Of space, an abundance of superfuous
breath. For the free born denizens Of
the land Of the Big Horn and the North
Platte 1t is no more than enough. In
1880 there were nearly two miles of
territory for each inhabitant and in
1890 m and one-half miles. In 1900
leach man could still have more than
lone square mile to himself. Even the
band grows tighter. From the green
reaches of Laramie county, from the
Yellowstone and Powder rivers we
seem to hear the distant rumble of
rising discomfort. On the lonely banks
of the Sinking Water the Hon. Buffalo
B. Cody stirs himself. The only Powell,
his trusty side partner-next to the
last Of the great scouts-joins in. Their
voices thunder in a u antiphonal
chorus: Give us air!!" There are two
rays Of hope. The 1905 census Of Iowa
Ishcws a falling off Of 1875, since the
federal census five years ago. And
there is always Nevada. There are over
10000 square miles in Nevada only
about $4,000 people-almost three
square miles to every man.

A WONDERFUL SUN DIAL
Baltimore Has a Unique Mechanism
That Shows Time AT Eif+een PIacne

That Shows Time at Fifteen Places.
From the Los Angeles Times.
Inc romantic and picturesque sun
dial. Is coming to its own once more.
Dial making is again an industry
feveied in by members OF tine arts and
crafts cycle.
1t was in days when interest in u
dials was lowest that Peter Hamilton
of Baltimore conceived and executed
the design for a dial milk any other
OF which VIC have any knowledge, and
Which is now one of the attractions Of
the celebrated Druid Hill park in that
city.
This dial. beautiful from an architec-
tural stand point, is also a mathemat-
tcal wonder, for it registers. the time at
fifteen places, each far distant from one
another. From it's fifteen faces can be
read the hours at Rio Janeiro, Sitka,
Jeddo, Jerusalem, Fernando Pc, Cape
Cod, Baltimore, Pitcairn's Island, Hon
olulu, London, Cape Town and San
Francisco. The equatorial and polar
planes, the latter with the mototo "sine
umbra nihil." make up the fifteen faces
of this peculiar dial.
That he had constructed a wholly
original sun dial of which there is no
duplicate is a fact Which surprised Mr..
Hamilton, for he believed, lille con-
structing it, that he was reproducing in
essential points the famous dial at
CLAIMS castle. in Scotland, which is un-
doubtedly the finest in the world.
There are over eight dials in all on
this famed timepiece, each of it's TWEEN
ty-four facets having from three to
four dials each. This dial is certainly
three centuries old. as it appears in a
print Of the castle, behind which it
stands, previous to the year 1900, and
was named in Earl Patrick's book Of
record Of a date previous to 1896.
If yTn frno1- n - ln~o-s ~
CLAIMS SUI dial, which is over twenty-
one feet high, and handsomely carved,
that Mr.. Hamilton drew the plans for
he dial which now stands in Druid
Hill park. Never having seen even a
photograph of the CLAIMS. dial, Mr..
Hamilton had only verbal descriptions
to work upon n he concluded that
the many faces of the Glamis dial must
speak the time at various points. But
the CLAIMS dial tells onlv Scotland's
time. Thus Mr.. Hamilton's work is not
a copy in any sense, but is original
with him.
1t was in 1875 that Mr.. Hamilton
constructed his unique dial of sand
stone. 1t stood in his yard for a num-
Der Of years. In 1892 he presented it to
the city Of Baltimore. 1t was first
placed in one of the mailer parks, and
afterwards removed to Druid Hill park
near the Eutaw place entrance. AS
time had begun to wear way some of
the inscriptions, the park commission
recently spent $500 to cover the surface
with bronze plates and engrave them.
This has been done under Mr.. Hamil-
tons supervision, and the dial now bids
fair to stand for centuries, a pic
tureSQue-monument to it's maker.

An Alpine Heroine.
Geneva Letter to London NJ;

Geneva Letter to London Mail.
The announcement that Mile. Della
ichenal was married the other day to
Joseph Robin, a French shepherd Of
Haute Savoie, recalls a pretty Alpine
romance.
About this time last year the young
couple were driving their f1ocks Of
goats down to the valley on the slope
of the mountain Paray d. Tardevant
when Robin noticed that some goats
still remained neal the summit. 81
Instead of making a detour Robin
took a short cut up a Chimney of the
cleft In the rock, in spite OF the en-
treaties of his companion. He had
hardly reached a spot half way up the
~f"chimney" when IN avalanche Of stones
;thundered down, sweeping him off his
legs and hurrying him downwards
towards the precipfce.
Mile. Delachenal, without a mo-
iment's hesitation, ran to the "chim-
ney." right in the track of the falling
stones, and caught her lover In her
arms.
At the brink of the abyss the brave
peasant girl managed to stop, and
dragging the unconscious mar out Of
danger. hurried to the village for help.
Resides a severe scalp wound, Robin
had two ribs broken, and the girl had
her face and arms badly cut. The cou-
pie. who are 20 years of age, recovered
from their wounds, and the ALPINE ro-
mance eliminated at the altar the 9TH
er day In tie presence OF a sympathetic
.rowd Of villagers.

he had gone with his bride in the hope
of regaining his health, was received

Mr.. Whitney met the pretty young
telephone operator while he was a
guest at tie hotel in which she was en-
ployed. Though he was thrice her age
and with grown children, he was at
tracted by the girls beauty and her
modest and obliging demeanor. He fell
in love at once and the courtship was
brief.
The marriage, May Z last, created a

posted $100, 600 in a bank to his wife's
credit, and gave her SIS, 900 to pay for
her trousseau. He also gave her $500
for pin money" to be spent on the
honeymoon trip, and his formal we'd
ding present was a magnificent dia-
nlond sunburst.
They went to Atlantic City on their

never to occupy that home. for Mr..
Whitney was SUDDENLY stricken with
what proved to be a fatal illness.

with her former friends in the Grand
Union hotel after her marriage, and 1t
