PREDICTIONS THAT ARE PRE-.
DlCTIONS,

Tho press dispatches not long ago
announced that the sure enough
goosohonc man was dead. yet there
arises another to fill the aching void.
The fame OF Berlls county, Pa. re-

weather predictions. Again we Will
know what the weather will he for
months ahcad-maybc. 1t matters not
II tho government weather bureau Is
blown up by anarchists or falls com
pletely in tho hands of the Big Stick,
and it's time devoted to boosting for
u third term for we still can map out
our winter vacations, knowing wheth-
err tho weather will be good or lad
perhaps. Now. let us see what the
eooscbone man says about the coming
winter. Generally speaking he says that
this will be hard winter. He is
probably right--most of them are. AS
to further particulars we must study
the goose bone Now the breast bone
OF the goose this yeaD is very darl,
Mt the top of the front, while near the
center it is quite white. Then for
some little distance there are dots. a
lot of them, and then comes a terribly
dark streak, which means nothinr nira
for u.s.
Having thus got our bearings. we
will proceed TO say that the now
goose bone expert starts OFF by de.
claring that We ought to have some
pretty cold weather. even down here
in 'Virginia. the first part of the month.
That will cover the period in which
the fellow who does not get elected
Is recovering from the shock. After
that it will be warme;. December
Is going to be cold with an occasional
snow storm. That looks like a safe
bet January is apparently going 10
average up pretty well. which has the
car marks Of the "one best bet" but
look ont for February ana March.

Of the breast bone means mischief

The ghost of jamestown is not yet,
laid, but the spook of tho Alaskit.Y
kon-Pacific Exposition looms toward

American people is indomltable. II Is

INTERESTING MUNICIPAL ELEc-
TiONS TUESDAY,

AS a whole the vote to be cnst Tues
day throughout the country VIII be
one of the lightest polled in years.
The reason for this Is, of course, be
cause II Is an "off year" but never
theless. thcro aso several interesting
features or the elections to be held
IN several of tho cities aud one of the
most noticeable of them is tbs
strenuous effort that is being made
by the Republicans to overcome or
lower The Democratic majoritles III
many large towns. In several of these
cities very exciting mayorality cam
spalgns are being waXed, notably in
cleveland, Cincinnati and San Fran
cisco.
In Cleveland the indications point
to the election OF Johnson, tho Demo
cratic nominee, a close fight Is ex-
pected, however as Theodore Burton
is virtually backed by Theodore Roose
welt. The President Is being sharply
criticised for Interfering In n local
contest of this kind, but he presuma-
bly, is DESTROYS of furthcring the in.
terests of Secretary Taft. Mayor John.
son Is an advocate of thrcc cent
fare and the control of the streets
by the people, whereas. Mr. Burton
is said to be backed BY rich cor
poration which is Interested in street
franchises. Each has had immense
meetings, but Mayor Johnson scored
on his Republican opponent ny eX-
pressing the willingness to tell what
campaign money he had il Mr.. Burton
would divulgc the source OF his funds,
the latter refusing to do So Tho par
~ workers are in clover as money
is plentiful. An odd feature of the
campaign has been the attempt to
make it appear that Cleveland is a
doodle city, whereas ii is conceded
generally that it is well governed
municipality. If he wins Mayor John
son may be heard from in presiden-
tial politics.
The federal administration is also
charged With having an interest in
the mayelNlity campaign in Cincln
natl. where tie nominations were
made ON distinctly Roosevelt and
Taft basis. A personal friend of Son
in-Law Longworth is running for
mayor on the Republican ticket. Gin.
cinnatl is Toraker's home, and MS the
Republican party has been divided in
the city he will probably endeavor to
hold his section of it for delegate pur-
poses later on without regard to who
is chosen mayor.
A supreme effort is being made BY
the citizens OF San Francisco to elect
the present acting mayor. Dr. Taylor
on citizens' ticket. The Republican
candidate, a Young lawyer named
Ryan, and labor candidate named
Mccarthy, are also running, and it is
possible that the citizens candidate
may he defeated. San Francisco is
making great struggle to redeem
itself from misrulo which so long pre-
vailed there. 1t is probably true that
any candidate, however much he may
be wanted by the law abiding citizens
OF San Francisco. must expect to meot
the organization wish of many astute
politicians who have long ruled the
city, and who do not take kindly tic
citizens candidates.
