Signor Altani, whose former
predictions have proven true, has
caused some uneasiness by his
statement that the spots on the
sun, which are twelve times as
large as the earth. will be the cause
of violent disturbances on the earth
about the middle of November. So
look out for storms, volcanic erup
lions and earthquakes.

superior to any circus travelling the
United States. 1t is the cleanest.
most refined and up-to-date cir.
cuses in the world. There is an ab.
sence OF grating or gratters that is
noticeable. The gentlemen in charge
do not carry that old time circus
swag about them. They are all
neatly dressed, polite, and look
after the individual comfort of their
patrons, not giving their entire time
and attention to gathering in the
shekels.
If the Van Amburg Circus ever
returns to this city it will have to
have two canvases as large as the
one used Yesterday to accommodate

served seat was taken, and at 8:15
every seat of every kind was taken.

the ground in front OF the seats.
The tent was packed almost TO sui

1T was too warm to he comfortable,
nobody left until tbe last race was

was worth twice the price of adj.

other reason be induced to leav'
the comforts Of home, will tramp
for hours through mud and waite
and face the bitter blast OF a frosty
morning for the sake of a shot a
their favorite game. For those who
are thus inclined we make the fol
lowing notes:
The open season for quail and
| woodcock is from Nov. /, to March
/; prairie chicken and wood duck
are closed until July 1909; male
wild turkey (female protected all
the year) Dec. /, to April l; snipe

year) Novem per | to February |.
1t will be seen that everything is
now open except wild turkey,
prairie chicken and wood duck.
Interstate commerce in game is
regulated by Federal laws. The
only one of interest to hunters IN
this parish is the Lacy Act, section
4, which requires every package
containing game ANIMALS or birds
when shipped by interstate COM
merce to be clearly marked so as to
show the name and address of the
shipper aud the nature of the con-
tents. The laws of Louisiana re-
quire a statement on each package
indicating the KIND of game and the
AMOUNT 10 the package, and must
be made up go that contents can be
seen, and must bear an inscription,
showing the name and address of
owner, and be shipped as baggage
and transported open to view.
In 1896 the Supreme Court decid
ed the Connecticut law. prohibiting
the export of certain game consti-
tutional and since then every State
has enacted noncxport laws. In
Louisiana it is prohibited to export
deer, squirrel, quail, prairie chick

REPORTED THAT IMPEACHMENT

o'clock yesterday morning the jury
which heard the testimony in the case
Of State VS.. Harry Siliabaugh. return
ed verdict Of mot guilty." and Mr..
Sillabaugh, who has been held under
bond since last spring, was released.
The verdict was arsurprise to many of
the lawyers who heard the case, de-
spite the attempt that was made Wed.
nesday afternoon to impeach the truth
and veracity Of the prosecuting wit.
ness, Rev. o. W. Waters
AS soon as the finding OF the Jury
became known, rumor was spread
10 the effect that Mr. Waters had de-
clared that he would institute suit
against the witnesses who were called
by the defense to aid In the impeach.
ment. When called up on the phone
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Waters stat
ed that he had spoken TO no one about
the matter. that he had not been out
side his house all day and that he had
no statement to make. He refused to
say whether or not he would institute
suit, and was unable to say how the
rumor had been started.
The case has caused n division OF
sentiment among the members of the
bar and the people Of the city. One
side clnims that the. verdict was Just,
considering the impeachment, while
the other side claims that Mr.. Waters
did not receive the support that was
due him. The people who take Mr..
Waters side, insist that the State
should have called number of wit
nesses who would testify that Mr.. Wat
ers' reputation is above reproach.
Among those who stand up for Mr..
Waters are some OF the most promi.
nent members Of the bar. many Of
whom heard all OF the evidence. The
other side has many supporters also.
During the trial Wednesday, Van A.
Barrackman, member OF counsel for
the defense, attacked the confession,
signed By Siiiabaugh, claiming that
1t was secured only after the defend.
ant had been threatened by Mr.. Wat.
ers. The confession was admitted as
evidence. but had little effect on the
jury. After Oliver Mcclure, Morgan
Henry. Robert Gamble and Samuel
Johnson, witnesses summoned BY the
defendant in the impeachment proceed
ings. had given their testimony, the
case was closed and counsel began
their arguments. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Cramer spoke for the State and
Attorney Van A. Barrackman for the
defense.
Mr.. Barrackman grew SO violently
in his denunciation of Mr.. Waters at
times that Judge Mason had to stop
him. After the argument had been
completed the Jury retired about 4:30
to consider the case. The verdict was
reached Just before 10 o'clock.

SILVER PIERCED
YOUTHS THROAT


Scarcely able to breathe and with
an ugly wound In his throat, John
Beaver, a nineteen year old boy is ~
ing in n critical condition at the home
of his parents at Linn Hill, Jackson
township. His injuries were received
in a peculiar manner while squirrel
hunting.
In the top of a gnarled old tree
which had bee blasted by the light.
ming, the keen eyes of the hunters
perceived one of the tiny animals and
the boy fired. His aim was true and
the squirrel came tumbIfng TO the
ground. Thinking that the game
might be lost In the underbrush, the
boy ran toward the spot where It was
seen to fall. In his haste he stumbled
and fell and long silver of wood,
which had stuck upright In the ground
when the tree was spfintered by the
lightning, penetrated his throat. 1t en-
tered just below the Adams Apple
and was extracted with difficulty.
The wound in the throat was treat
cd and barring complications the in.
jured will likely recover.-Irontonian.
