Hillsboro August u, 1905, aged "a
years, II months and 28 days. She
was the daughter of Micajah (Mekaja)
and Rachel Johnson, being the ninth
in a family of twelve children, all of
whom are dead except two brothers,
Allen johnson, of this county, and
Levi johnson, of Cleveland, o.
She was married to David Cox Sep
tember q, 1888. To this union we're
born twelve children, ten of whom
with the beloved husband and father
have passed to the beyond. She was
again married to Asa v. Thomas
April 25, 1871, who also preceded her
in death. Two daughters, Emma and
Sarah, and one grandson, Homer Cox
of Fremont, Iowa, are all that remain
of her immediate family with a mul

criticism Of . London Ddltor on the
Tendency Of Americans -
"Whoop."

National idiosyncrasies ere reflected
aot only in serious pursuits. but In
rational games. Baseball IL not like.
to become an internationl sport In
which there II any real rivalry unless
he nations become endowed with the
American zest in the rapid game The
London Outlook regrets that Britons
and Americans cannot play baseball ON
something like equal terms, and comes
% the conclusion that the american
conception of sport Is hopelessly an
tagonistic to the British at every
point.
Englishmen take their pleasures
rather sadly. but the Outlook Is not
altogether astray when II arraigns the
American ball game as noisy. It gen.
srously admits that baseball is "a real
iy fine game" in essence, but the field
ers are allowed ito yell at the man
with the club in order to rattle him; "
the spectators are permitted to make
"a diabolical din" for the same rea-
son: the umpire's decisions, instead Of
being submitted to without q murmur,
as Englishmen receive q deliverance
from the lord high chancellor, are ap-
pealed from "by circle of yelling,
gesticulating forms clad like acrobats. ''
II must be confessed thai there is
much force in the arraignment. Noise
has become an inseparable incident OF
our national game, and It may as we'll
be confessed that public interest in the
x1yn,,1A ~ a
ings we're conducted in perfectly
tranquil. self-composed and ladylike
manner.
Seriously speaking. the outcry Of our
British contemporary against mere
noise as public grievance deserves
some attention. Noise is easily mis-
interpreted as a sign Of vigorous enter
prise in all lines of human activity.
There Is bustle Of trade which nc
one would suppress. The loudest
sh outer is not by any means the most
accomplished and effective orator,
The best work may be done without
great clamor and uproar. Noise Ia
commonly associated with the fakir
who covers the pinchbeck quality ID
ulS W
their virtues. Much of the noise of the
lefty street is entirely unnecessary and
could be suppressed without injury tc
any material interest.
A. sUciety for the preventiorr Of DIN
would find q fertile field for it's benei.
cent Offices. Some years ago the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty tc
Animals in Munich issued an order
forbiddfng the superfuous cracking OF
whips IN order to save the nerves OF
horses: Humanity deserves similar
consideration. Happily the tendency
Of civilization is toward the suppress
sion of superfluous noise. In the busiest
quarters Of some cities wooden pave
ments have been laid to quiet to some
extent the legitimate noise Of traffic
The still alarm" is far more effec'
tive agency for the extinction of q fire
than the din Of many bells.

The fall campaign will soon be on
in earnest and it behoves the two
dominant political parties in High.
land county to see that honest and
competent men are nominated. The
people realize that a rascal is a
rascal, still whether he call himself a
Republican or a Democrat. More
people each year are voting for the
man and not simply for the eagle or
rooster. This county is so close politl.
cally that neither party can win with
dishonest or incompetent candidates.
While the Republicans under natural
conditions and with equal candidates
have slight majority, it cannot ex.
Pect to win this fall unless great care
Is exercised in the convention. With
the temperance agitation certain to
lose few votes the Republican party
is counting defeat If 1t dominates
certain grafters and incompetents,
who are seeking nominations.

ASTRONOMICAL DATA
For the Eclipse Of the Sun Of August
80, 1905.

There will be a total eclipse of the
sun on August 30th, 1905, visable as a
partial eclipse generally throughout
North America, Europe and Africa.
The path Of totality starts northwest
of Lake Superior runs eastward
through the Dominion of Canada
striking the Atlantic ocean just north
of Newfoundland. 1t reaches land
again in Spain then crosses the
Mediterranean Sea into northern
Africa and ends on the eastern coast
of Arabia.
At Columbus, Ohio, the sun will
rise eclipsed on the morning of August
3Oth, and the eclipse will end at 1927
a. m, standard time. At the middle
of the eclipse about two-thirds of the
suns diameter will be covered up by
the moon, the sun appearing as a
brilliant crescent. These conditions
will not be greatly changed in any
part of the state of Ohio. To see the
sun eclipsed the observer should pro.
vide himself with piece of smoked
glass. This can be easily done by
holding a piece of ordinary window
glass over an ordinary candle and
moving the candle about until the
piece of, glass is covered with coat.
ing of SCOT of sufficient thickness.
Eclipses of the sun and moon 60 TO-
gether in groups, about six months
apart, thus there was an eclipse of
the moon on August 14th and another
eclipse of the moon on February 10Th,
and an annular eclipse Of the sun on
March 9Th. The last two being ap.
proximately six months before those
of August l4th and 30th respectively.
There can never be more than three
eclipses of the moon in any year and
many years 60 by without a single
lunar eclipse. In the case of solar
eclipses, however, 1t Is different for
there must be at least two eclipses of
the sun, and there may be five, though
the number can never exceed that
figure. In this case there may be
seven eclipsts On the average there
will be four or five eclipses each year.
1t was known to the ancients, that
cell pses repeat themselves at aregu.
lar interval Of eighteen years eleven
and two-third days. This is due to
the fact that in that period, to which
the name Saros has been given, the
sun, moon. and earth come to almost
Identical positions in the heavens.
Thus on September 10th, 1923, this
coming eclipse will repeat itself. 1t
will not, however, be identical. Each
eclipse will then repeat itself regular
ly every eighteen years, but as these
repetitions are not IDENTICAL in course
of time they will disappear: A lunar
eclipse may repeat stself for AZ or AZ
times covering period of over SS5
years, while solar eclipse may repeat
itself some SO or Is times, covering a
period of about 1850 years.
The total eclipses visible in the
United States, through this country,
will occur in the year 1918, 1929, 1915,
1854. 1879. 1884 and 1894.

According to Col. Richard C. Kerns,

MIR. Kerns is the Republican boss in

know political bosses that are in the
