SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
Only Routine Work Was Accomplish,
ed at the Regular Meeting Held
Friday Evening.

There was not very much business
to occupy the attention of the mem
bers of the board of education at its
regular meeting Friday evening, as
much of the important work was
transacted at q special meeting held
a short time ago. Only routine work
and the allowance of several bills
taken up.
The school levy for the coming
year has been fixed at $4,000. This
includes the amount of money
that will be paid toward the new
school building on the east side, as
no bonds were issued to erect the
building, which will be paid for out
of the annual tax levy.

IS SEPTEMBER WEATHER
The Hicks Report Indicates Stormy
Weather and EARLY Frosts are
Forecasted.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the St. Louis
weather prophet, in setting forth
what can be expected in the way OF
weather for September. brings forth
some stormy conditions and predicts
that early frost will prevail. He
says:
A regular storm period covers the
first week in September. being CEN
trail on the 4th. A very threatening
barometer, with high temperature,
will appear in western extremes by
the Sd and 4th, and storms of much
energy will sweep progressively over
the country from the 18th to the 7th.
The elimination will come on and
touching the 7th. Seismic shakes will
be probable in many parts of the
globe within forty-eight hours of
noon on the 7th.
A reactionary storm period comes
close after the crisis of the first peri
cd. 1t is central on the 9th, 10th
and 18th. Remember this is at annu-
al crisis Of unrest. Heed all warn
ings and indications of growing
storms, inland. on the coasts and on
the seas, in the south especially.
Heavy storms of rain, hail, wind and
thunder will move out Of the north
west, also and be followed with prob
able frosts.
A regular storm period the 18th
to 18th. is one of great and almost
certain severity. 1t is at the crisis
Of the autumnal equinox. The equi-
noxes of Jupiter and Saturn are in
full force. Vulcan, Venus and Mer-
curry r all central in disturbing
energy with o passing from first
quarter to full. at south declination
and in perigee. This period, and this
whole central part of the month, is
full of perturbing causes and phe-
nomenal possibilities. Hurricanes
and cyclonic storms should be anti
cipated about the southern coasts,
with sympathetic, equinoctial lorna
die storms rel the interior. The
chances are that general storms and
atmospheric unrest will continue I'M
til after the reactionary storm peri
cd, which is central on the goth,
|21st and 22d. Many volcanic and
seismic commissions will also be re-
ported within %forty-eight hours of
sunset on the 21st. At the windup
of this prolonged time Of general and
violent disturbances, look for a phe-
.nomenally high barometer, fierce
,northwesterly gales, and a dash of
almost early winter out of the north
west. The boreal change will lie APP
proximately between the 21st and
25th. All the lake regions especially
should beware of these storms and
the change following. Make notes
and watch!
A regular storm period covers the
closing week of September. 1t is ZEN
trail on the 9th and its eliminating
days fail on Friday. the 9th, to
Sunday, the goth. This period will
bring its change to warmer, falling
barometer and return OF marked

GAS TANK EXPLODED
One of the Generators at the Gas
Plant Exploded Saturday Even
inu nninn Iitlln Damann

Saturday evening the fire alarm
was turned in at 6 o'clock and the
fire department made a long run to
the gas plant of the Mitchell Gas
company in the northwestern part
of the city, on the supposition that
there was a fire to be put out. In
stead of a fire it was the explosion
of one of the generators in the plant
and the services of the department
were not needed.
One of the generators had been
left with a small portion of carbide
in it and the supposition is that it
kept generating gas to such an ex-
tent that the thing finally blew up,
although but little damage was done.
Several windows on the lower floor
were blown out and perhaps a half
dozen cement blocks in one corner
of the building we're displaced by the
shock of the explosion. Other than
that no damage was done. 1t was
necessary to shut off the street lamps
that night in order to give the con-
sumers gas for the residences.
Brewster White, a son Of Manager
White, had been working in the plant
not a half hour before the explosion
occurred. and but for the fact that
he had finished his work and got
away he might have been injured.
Manager White stated to the Re-
publican that owing to the explosion
that the gas plant would have to be
shut down for two or three weeks
until repairs could be made.

STORM coHullioHS. Inc n are
that September will be disturbed, if
not phenomenally stormy and out of
joint, to the last. Such may not be
the case-we do not affirm positive
ly that it will. But we do say that
the astronomic outlook for this
month strongly points to such re-
suits. We do not mean that great
calamities are inevitable, or that the
foundations of nature will be out of
order; but unless there is a
satlng resultant of warning forces
that we cannot now see, the meteor
logical record for September, taking
the whole world over, will approach
the phenomenal. One thing we ask
let every one who has a telescope
keep a daily watch over the sun
spots. See If they do not reach fear
full proportions from August to Oc-
tober. The earth passes between
Saturn and the sun on the 18th,
bringing a period of great electric
and magnetic strain for over ten days
before and after the 18th. In addi-
ton to all the causes charted and
mentioned, it must be kept in mind
that the great, outermost planets,
Uranus and Neptune, are within a
few hours of exact conjunction with
each other and the sun, a position
no living man has ever seen them
OCCUPY, and no doubt exerting a force
Dramatically through the sun, and
thence into terrestrial phenomena,
which no man has eve computed.
september will be the opportunity of
a lifetime for investigative people to
watch and note results. Let US all
resolve to keep in constant touch
with the worlds record. Let us study
the phenomena Of u and earth and
see If nature brings us any addition
al less OF law. Let us see how the
autumn will come in. and what the
winter will have in store for us. All
scientific knowledge has been thus
obtained.
We have often called attention to
the fact that premature spells of
cold weather are almost certain to
come when a Venus disturbance
falls in an autumn month. The storm
diagrams for three months show
that a Venus equinox is central on
the 18th, extending from the closing
days of August almost to the middle
OF October. 1t is greatly to be de-
sired that a warm, late fall should
compensate for a late, cold spring,
and such is sometimes the case; but
there is reason to fear that a spell
of unseasonably cold days and nights
will come during the Venus period
named. 1t is safe to say that some
of the warmest days of the season
will come in September, eliminating
in severe tropical storms; but it will
be wise to anticipate sudden and far
reaching changes to much colder
weather and frost over wide areas to
the northward. Such change may not
culminate fully before the closing
stages of the Venus period, during
the first two weeks of October, but
the chances are that one or more of
the September storm periods will end
in sudden high barometer from the
northwest, bringing boreal gales,
cold nights and severe frosts in all
northern parts of the country. The
periods nearest the new and full
moon or the days Immediately fol-
lowing the storms of these periods,
are the times when changes to colder
weather and frost are most to be
feared. Such a change is almost a
certainty between the 10th and 25th,
as has already been stated above.

CATLlN IN TOWN
Man Who is Looking For Wife
 Gets Many Letters.

Henry M. Catlin of Terryville, the old gentleman who is looking for a wife, made another call at the office of the department of charities to- day and was given bushel basket full of letters from women who claim they want to meet him. He received about 150 at his own address and kept reading them until he got so confused that he didn't know one from the other. Seated in corner of the office carefully scanning the different letters, the old man made up a good picture of Goldsmith s Tone miser counting OCT his store, 7 for the contents of each envelope seemed as precious to him as if they were worth millions. He was pleased to know that there were no reporters about the place, because he dislikes notoriety and wants to carry on his correspondence without making the affair town talk. MT Catlin was neatly dressed and made very good appearance. He is 72 years of age and his long gray beard, snow white hair and gold trimmed spectacles give him an air of responsibility which would lead anybody to say that he is splendid type of the real old New England Yankee. And that is what he is. He was born in Harwin- ton snd comes from revolutionary stock, but like many other New Eng land families the Catlins are dying out and after the old gentleman who so suddenly sprang into public notice is gathered to his fathers there will not be many of his kith and kin left behind.
 He does not know how he will ar range meeting with the 200 or more women who have written to him, and while nothing definite has been done in the premises 1t is like ly that all of them will be asked to attend festival at Quassapaug some fine day during the month of Au- gust or September. MT Catlin called upon few local applicants to-day, but just how he made out is some- thing he refused to talk about. He owns considerable property in Ter ryville, but it is in charge of con- servator, and this is one reason why he is somewhat displeased with his lot in life. Evidently he suspects that if he had wife to back him up the courts would restore him to his full capacity. and then he would be right in it, for time at least.

CLARK STREET CASE
Brooklyn People Talk About Bureau OfASSeSSment'S Work.

Judging from the enthusiastic and harmonious meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society last evening, it will take something more than the report of the bureau of assessment on the benefits and dam ages arising from the proposed eS- tension of Clark street to get the mem bers fighting. They have been work ing for that improvement and will continue to do, so until they have ob- tained it. AS was stated, last even- ing the work of extending Clark street may be started even though it is the intention of few of the property owners to appeal from the assess | ment of the board. After discussing the situation at some length, the mem bers appointed committee consist ing of Alderman John Malone, Hans Rasmussen and Peter Fitzhenry to call upon the mayor to have him once more use his influence for the exten- sion of Clark street. Many people seem to think that the extension of this street is nothing more than to make route for the trolley. But long before the trolley line had been mentioned, there had been a peti- ton sent in for the extension of said street. Whether or not the trolley will ever be built, as soon as Clark street is extended, it will be big improve ment for the Town Plot people. These things were pointed out at the meet ing last evening, and the members for the most part realize that Clark street should be extended What is more, they are confident that it will be extended
 John Henderson announced that he will appeal from the assessment of the board, but still is willing that the work should go on. The way Mir Hender- son feels about 1t is that should he lose in the courts, he will not be much worse off than now. Should the city lose, it can pay him just as well after the work has been started.
 When Chairman Henderson called the meeting to order and stated the reason for which it had been called, aiiioot dl tHt OllSludl llelluelS LII tic organization were in the hall. It seemed like old times. The chairman stated that he wasn't satisfied with the damages awarded him, but stated that he though it would be advisable to have the work of extending this street begun. He said his brother, William D. Henderson would be sat isfied with the damages awarded hin when he is sure that the city would not make him meet the expense of building a retaining wall. The Henderson brothers are the only property owners who are booked to receive damages. Attorney James NJ. Lynch was on hand and was a strong advocate for the extension of the street in accord ance with the report Of the bureau of assessment.
 Almost all present appeared willing to pay the assessment, although some of those who have paid city taxes for years and who are not abutting on the street affected seemed to think that they were being imposed upon. John Henderson will. according 10 the report of the bureau of assessment, receive S2,100 for damages and has been assessed S100 for benefits. w. D. Henderson will receive $600 damages.
