CAUSE OF AURORA soREALls?
Minnesota Man Thinks He Has Evolv-
ed Correct Theory.

st. Paul. March 10.-F. Reins Of
Ruthton, Mimi, claims to have dis
covered the cause Of the aurora bore
alis. In letter to President North
rop Of the University of Minnesota,
Reins declares the northern lights are
caused by the sun shining from the
other side OF the earth thru the snow
storms within the arctic circle.
The light thus reflected from myr-
lads of crystals of snow is then re-
fected to a portion Of the sky, where it
can be seen by persons far to the south
in the more temperate zones The
waverinls of the light is explained by
the fact that clusters of snow particles
are driven by the wind, and when rift
is made by the wind in snow cloud
the reflected light becomes less in
tense and brightens again as more
snow is blown across the shaft of
sunlight.
The fact that in the early part Of the
night lights always are the strongest in
the eastern part Of the sky and during

Boil, Wore Reversed in Case Of kessel-
ring W.. Hummer, However.
Special TO Times Republican
Iowa city, March 10.-A queer cir
cumstance Is noted in the case Of Fran
ces r. Kesselring vs.. Albert Hummer,
which has just been reversed. While
this is the second time that this IA
nous piece Of litigation has gone to the
supreme court, and both cases have
been reversed, the two decisions were
opposite. The case which was just
disposed Of was won in the district
court by the defendant. 1t was brought
at Marengo, Miss Kesselring suing for
the support of her child. The jury de-
cided for Hummer, and the plaintin
appealed 1t is not known whether
new trial was ordered, or whether the
reversal Is final.
The former reversal was In the GRIM
inal case, tried in this county, In which
Albert Hummer was found guilty Of
seduction and sentenced to pay fine
of $4,000. He appealed and the decis-
ion was reversed, the reversal being
based on q faulty Indictment, which
meant that the case would have to be
tried again. It was slated for the pres
ent term Of court, but by consent OF
the parties, 1t was deferred till the
May term
The Gegenheimer perjury suit in the
court of Iowa City justice OF the peace
was an outgrowth Of the testimony in
the criminal action. This perjury case
was dropped on account of certain ad-
missions on the part Of Miss Kessel-
rims. All of the actions were most Bit
terly fought.

Clinton, March 10.-iWhile the river
Is almost clear Of Ice opposite Lyons.
the ice field remains fast above Little
Rock Island 1t Is difficult to explain
where the ice from further up the river
went, az the Ice at the bridges has not
gorEcd, or moved apparently. Doubt
less much OF the floating Ice sank be-
meath the mass which Is lodged above
the bridges and island.
The full complement OF men Is em-
ployed on the Northwestern railroad
bridge. and although the fires In the
draw have not been started, pending
the moving out OF the Ice above the
island, the engineers are ready to start
them at moments notice, and open
the season OF navigation at this point.
Doubtless the river will not be entirely
clear Of Ice in the north until well In
the month OF April. and the first raft
will not make Its appearance GNtil that
time.
Work Is being rushed in the upper
river boat yards. and many OF the old
craft. which were repaired during the
winter and given new coats Of white
paint. will look like new boats when
navigation opens.

Mu.h Agitation in Butler County Over
Change Made by Board.

Change Made by Board.
Special to mes-Hepublican.
Clarksville, March 10.-Some inter-
esting features are being developed in
Butler county over the recent adop-
tiorl Of school text books. 1t appears
that the agents OF publishing COM
pany appeared on the scene some weeks
ago and succeeded in inducing the
board to make an entire change ex-
cep. such books as they already had
in use which were histories. The peo-
pie appear to be very much worked up
over this matter, and can see no Justi-
fable reason for displacing a series OF
books in satisfactory use for five years.
To add to the agitation, the agents
have appeared on the ground and are
using their influence to induce the
people to retain the books they have
and not to introduce the ones pre-
scrrbed by the board.
The question will be submitted to
the people to vote as to whether they
will make the change. 1t will prob
ably result in contest between two
book publishing companies.

manded by Col. Scott is deserving
much praise OF the entire expedition.
The federal troops and constabulary

the Moro stronghold advancing by
three trails to the mountain top. The
constabulary were placed at the head
of one column.

Manila, March 10.--Brigadier Gems
eral Bliss made reconnaissance to-

previous to the attack OF the American
force upon the Moro stronghold there,
but 1t had no effect upon the hostile
attitude of the outlaws.

mingled with the warriers during ti1s
BATTLE to such an extent that 1t was
Impossible to discriminate and al

Major General Mvod is not avall~
able at present to confirm this report.
Constabulary detachments are now
engaged in the mountains Of northern
Luzon, rounding up bands OF savages
and head hunters on the war path.
Associated Press kilograms from
Zamboanga say an attack on Mount
Dajo was commenced Monday. Ther4
were four days hard fighting, during
which 1t Is estimated that 800 persons
were killed or wounded.
Americans are now arriving as
Zamboanga from Jolo. The consensus
of their opinion, is that the whols
trouble is due to the fact that Gov
ernor Major Hugh Scott permitted the
outlaws to fortify themselves within
sight Of the city Of Jolo. The mills
tary autho. les at Zamboanga have
refused since then, to give any infor-
nation to the press.

FEARS NO WAR IN CHINA.
Major General corbin Talks Of Con.
ditions in tho Orient.

San Francisco. Cal, March 10.-Ma-
jor General Henry S. Corbin, after
viewing conditions In the east at close
range. is Of the opinion that there will
be no war between the United States
and China He arrived here Thursday
on the steamer Corea from the orient.
So far as I have been able to OBJ
serve" said General Corbin, ''the re-
ported disturbances in China have
been grossly exaggerated and conditions
are not nearly so alarming as one
would be led to suppose from reports
that have been published abroad thru
out the western world.
THAT there have been disturbances
is quite true, but do not think they
will break the peace of China and the
United States or any other nation.
Want China for Chinese.
"The feeling against Americans in
China does not exceed that entertained
toward all other foreigners, and as
understand the situation the entire
anti-foreign feeling is due in large
measure to the exploitation of business
enterprises which the Chinese feel sure
should be controlled by their own peo-
pie.
"There is a feeling against those who
have in various ways obtained thru
scheming and corrupt officials fran
chises and concessions arrogated and
vested in their own people. They are
willing to refund to foreign investors
the money they have spent IN their
country; in fact this was done in the
case of the Hankow and Canton rail-
road.
"Aside from this chief source of anti
foreign feeling the troubles in China
are due to the presence of missionar-
les. The Chinese have perhaps more
firmly fixed religious belief than any
other people. in the world and they
look upon the religions of the western
world with scant favor
.oThe Chinese government IS as
friendly to the people and government
Of the United States as toward any
other, although nothing has greater
tendency to strain them than the fre-
ouent publication Of false reports and
threatened armed invasions."
