Hicks May Forecast.

A regular storm period is central on
the I'd, extending TO the 5th. From
Saturday, I'd, to Tuesday, 5th, notably
the Sd and 4th, violent, if not tornado,
storms need surprise no one. Heavy
rain and haiisfals will occur in many
parts of the country and the late snow
and sleet squalls are very likely in
northern sections. Change to cooler
and frost in many sections can be eX-
pected from the Sd to the 9Th.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th, sth and 9th, when warmer
weather can be expected. Frost may
be looked for central and northward
from the 9th to 18th.
From the 18th TO 10Th is a regular
storm period. Rain, wind and thunder
storms, and it may be a little tornado
or two thrown in for good measure, are
due from the 18th to 10th and.from the
18th to 18th, central Con the 18th, a
bombardment with lightning flashing
need cause no surprise. z Wind from the
Northwest will bring cooler weather
from the 10Th to 10Th.
On the.19th, Goth and 21st a reaction
airy storm period centers. From the
18th 80 ed may not be so bad, but
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn may
do something tornado. Higher barom-
eter and much cooler are due from 21st
to 23d.
From the 23d to 9th regular storm
period is due and the central day of the
period will be the 25th, when the man
in the moon will be on the celestial
equator.
Last storm period comes on the Both
and 31st, with lightning storms due
from the 9th to 31st, provided storms
continue from the last period over the
10Th.

WILL IT BE ROOSEVELT ?

AS things stand right now there is
more reason to believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be the next Republican NOM
inee than has ever before existed. 1t
is said, and truthfully, that the failure
to force Congress to carry out many OF
his policies has greatly exasperated the
President. Had he not announced his
intention not to again accept a nomi-
nation at very premature period, he
would not now make the announce
ment. those close to him say. Congress
has now no dread of him because he
will soon be the "dead lion" and they
bow rather to the s'live ass" 1t is
strikingly apparent that they pay little
attention to his wishes, and follow his
lead in few instances. Never before
has q president whose hold on the coun-
try was so strong as his, been so ignor-
ed by his party in Congress. There is
one way, and only one, in which he
can even up with them, and that is to
again be candidate, re-elect himself
and read the riot act to these unruly
gentlemen. 1t is asserted that ''third
termer" cannot win in America yet,
that the United States cannot be Mex
icanized at this stage of her history and
existence. But who knows? The eX-
pertinent has not been tried on the
people The convention turned Gen.
Grant down, but not the people. Had
he been nominated he certainly would
have been elected. The question has,
therefore, never been put up to the
country at large. There are many
things conventions do, and Congress
for that matter, which the country
would not stand for, and vice versa.
All, therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt has to do
to test his real popularity, and the de-
mand for continuance of the war he
has waged in many directions, is to
get the nomination. Then we shall
see what we shall see.
There is certainly wide split in his
pdIbyy tS w W llO Sllull NC
Taft has not yet walk over. If he
succeeds in getting majority of in
structed delegates of course the third
term idea will vanish. If not, it will
lift its hydra head high in the air All
the Taft men are Roosevelt men-that
is their first choice is Roosevelt-so
that when they find they are unable to
nominate Taft they will rush pellmell
to their real favorite and carrying with
them, as they would, many others who
are scattered about in the delegations
Of other States, and thus they may
nominate Roosevelt over his declina-
ton. If nominated he will be difficult
to defeat, and should he be elected the
Gar would lord it over the Douma no
more than he over Congress. We may
be facing third term.

MRS. NATION HERE.

Mrs. Garry Nation arrived in Staun-
ton by an afternoon train yesterday
and spoke last night to packed house.
Curiosity to see the "Hatchet Wieldern
made the audience much larger than
otherwise There is in StauntOn some
bits of glass from the first mirror Mrs.
Nation ever smashed. 1t will be re-
called that her first smashing was done
in her own State "ProhibitiOn Kansas
in the saloon of the Cary Hotel in
Wichita. These pieces of glass were
taken by ourselves from the wreck she
made there shortly after her first ap-
pearance with her Ratchet, and we can
vouch for their genuineness.

JOHNSON A SWEEDE.

AS Gov. John Johnson is billed tC
speak in Richmond on the 25th, and
inasmuch as some few of s'Our best peO-
pie" in Virginia have yielded to de
sire to see him in the White House,
and inasmuch as nobody seems to know
Just who Governor Johnson is, we de-
sire to give his appointment all the
publicity we can, and we also clip
from the authorized bureau of infOrma-
ton at Washington which has taken
upon itself to give this information, as
much of what it says of the life and
character, the origin and accomplish
ments, and its letter of credit as to his
Democracy published in the Times
Dispatch, as we can in our limited
space. Our statement last week that
he is Sweede is here confirmed:
AS politician he Is able, adroit and
successful. He inherits his affability
and hospitality from his Scandinavian
parents, yet he thinks and acts like the
typical American that he is. Just be-
fore the outbreak of the Civil War his
father and mother came from Sweden
to Minnesota, where they made theiI
home. AS a youth and young man
John Albert johnson worked to help
his mother, who, after the death of hel
husband, had to take in washing as 8
means Of supporting her family. Dur.
ing service as drug clerk, johnson
Obtained n liberal education, STUDYING
until late every night. Today he is
well informed and able. AS an orator
he is forceful and eloquent. He believes
in the people and fundamental princi
pies. His loyalty to the Democratic
party cannot be challenged. Before he
was old enough to vote he became {
firm believer in the party of Jefferson
and later voted and worked for Cleve
land, Bryan and Parker. His record
for regularity is correct.

NEW YORK NOT "SURE. +"
REPUBLICAN CANVASS SHOWS STRONG
DEMAND FOR ROOSEVELT.

DEM AN ID FOk hOOSEN ELI.
Washington, May "A remarkable
political interview was given out today
by John A. Stewart, of New York,
president of the New York League of
Republican Clubs, in which he ex-
presses the opinion that only Roose-
welt can defeat the prospective Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency.
The league has in recent months
conducted series of canvasses to ascer-
tain the sentiment among Republicans
in New York State These have in
Dictated stronger sentiment for Roose-
welt than for Taft or any other candi-
date. A final canvass has just been
made, and as a result of this Mr..
Stewart declares that Taft cannot carry
the Empire State, that no other Re
publican but Roosevelt can carry it,
and that unless Roose welt is nominal
ed at Chicago, New York must be set
down as doubtful.

ONE DROP OF WATER.

The people of Stanton are growing
restless regarding their ''soft water"
supply. They voted 5000, 600 for this pur-
pose long long ago, they learn that the
committee in charge have taken fur
ther steps in the way of purchasing a
source of supply, as well as some SUI
rounding land, and also some rights Of
way, but not a drop of water is availa-
BILE yet to cool their parched tongues,
and they believe the proposition is just
about as far off as ever before. 1t is a
well known fact that the thing the
present generation...doe in such mat
tiers, is to vote the bonds and if possible
secure the object for which the bonds
were voted, leaving the payment there
of to those who come after them. What
care we Of today how many dollars
we vote if we get the water. Long be-
fore the bonds are payable we shall
have passed from this vale of tears. 1t
seems in this case, however, the usual
routine is to be reversed. We will have
the bonds to pay before we get the wat
er, as they have only fifty years to run,
that is unless somebody gets move
on himself or themselves, which from
present appearances is not likely. The
impending "Dry spell" warns us that
water is needed for more purposes, than
the lavatory, or the laundry.
There is much said about heexpense
of the primaries. In the last Guberna-
torial election Mr.. Willard spent $751;
600, Gov. Swanson, $4,000, and Judge
Mann, $1,000. In the last senatorial
election Mr.. Martin $1,000 and Gov.
Montague $1,000. These amounts were
spent before the candidate became wise
and the public learned that the political
steering committees had put the price
of office so high that small men could
not reach the persimmons. Now can
didates do not spend any money be-
cause there is never but one for any Of

BUFFALO AND BULL IN FIGHT.
North Dakota Farmer Compelled to
Kill Canadian Bison.

NIL Canadian BISON.
After a wild buffalo that strayed
over the Canadian boundary from
Kenmare had battled with his valua-
BILE farm bull and nearly killed 1t, tore
down portion of the barn in its
frenzied rage and attacked big Perch
eron mare, j. A. Englund killed the
buffalo with two we'll aimed shots
from rifle. Englunds cattle herd
had been grazing on Des Laos bluffs,
each evening being brought to the
farm. The buffalo Joined the herd,
and when Foreman Sanders rounded
up the bunch in the evening he failed
to Lotice the buffalo until the herd
was brought home and was being
placed in different corrals. Sanders
sought Englund to tell him about the
buffalo, and when they returned they
found that there was a fierce battle
in progress between tie buffalo and
farm bull. Using pitchforks the men
tried to separate the animals. FL
nally Sanders ja,bbed the prongs into
the buffaloe's neck and succeeded in
driving him away from the bull, which
was nearly dead from the attack.
When the buffalo partially wrecked
the barn and attacked the horse, Eng
lund decided to kill him.. Englund
communicated with the Canadian au-
thorities, owners of the bull, concern.
ing the matter, and has also told the
game warden of the circumstances.
