The newest thing in the line OF a con-

Friday morning by Mrs. Shillington OF 1914

Mrs. shillington operates a rooming house

man giving the name of II. H. Manning

he alleged was considerably below the re-

coal to her at the same rate and Mrs. Shil-

for future delivery. Manning said he would

CORN SHOW SAME AS EXPOS
Omaha Enterprise Gets Advertising
Equal to Great Expeditions.
RAILROADS ARE ALL IN LINE
Big Transportation Companies VIII
Give 1t Same support They Did
st. Louis, Portland and
jamestown Fairs.

By bringing the National Corn exposi-
ton to the attention OF American railroad
presidents and passenger traffic managers
the executive committee of the big Corn
show to be held in Omaha next December
has secured practically the same recogni-
ton for the latest Of Omaha enterprises
as the railroads gave to such expositions
as those held at st. Louis, Portland and
Jamestown.
Here are some of the things which the
railroad arrangements are going to do to
bring people to Omaha and promote the
movement for more and better corn:
Each road will detail a special travelling
passenger agent, who will be a lecturer,
to boost the National Corn exposition at
-Chautauquas, state fairs, county fairs,
stock shows and carnivals, and also make
all arrangements for parties and special
trains of students who will visit the corn
exposition.
Seven railroads are to put out booklets
ard pamphlets and give space in their time

tural show at Omaha.
All roads are to give the exposition a

campaign Of publicity for the corn show.
Mr.. Hal Ray. advertising manager. will be
in Omaha next week to get in close touch
with the exposition.
F. A. Miller, general passenger agent OF
the Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, and
w. B.. Kniskern, passenger traffic man
ager of the Chicago & Northwestern, both
added their promises to do the definite ad-
vertising which they said they would do
when the movement Cor the show at Omaha
was first started.
Beside the lines which run into Omahl
the officers of the Corn exposition saw
the Santa Fe, both OF which lines will do
some special advertising for the Omaha
show.
Now, the railroads are interested IN
this movement, not because the passenger
traffic is going to be anything like It was
to the Transmississippi and I%nternationa
exposition, but because they are interested
in developing the country and increasing
the prosperity of the farmers" said Mr..
Rosewater. More corn means more traf-
fic. OF course, and the railroads want
every farmer to have more surplus grain
their word in every particular and have
shown their friendly attitude toward
Omaha and the west by doing what they
have started for the National Corn exposi-
ton.

The eclipse begins at s;2s a. m, as has
been said before. At the Creighton uni
versity observatory the computed moment
is s o'clock, % minutes, IL seconds. At
this instant the moon occupies the position
shown by the right of the three lower
circles on the diagram. The paper must
then be held in such a way that the point,

dents the sun is rs degrees from the point,

point is Of the greatest Importance when
the beginning Of the eclipse is to be OBJ
served with great accuracy.
The moon pursues the path marked s, 9.

noting the position of its center at s, 8. 10,

at the beginning Of the eclipse, and the

OF the eclipse.
The eclipse ends at the observatory at
Il o'clock, - minutes. 9 seconds. For the
state, the time Of ending will be lO:42 al

On Sunday morning the people Of Omaha
will have a chance to observe a partial
eclipse Of the sun. It will begin cary
enoug to get folks up in time for break
fast and the first services at church. Rev.
William ]. Rigge, S. j., professor of as
tronomy at Creighton university, writes
thus concerning the eclipse:
The eclipse of the sun has long ago
been scheduled to begin at Omaha on
Sunday morning. June q. at s:26 o'clock.
At the northern border OF Nebraska the
time will be $50. and at the southern about
S:23. For Iowa the time will vary from
s:34 TO SOS.
The present eclipse is visible all, over the
United States. Its magnitude varies con-
siderably, In the state of Washington
it is only about 10 per cent. that is, only
one-tenth Of the suns diameter is obscured.
whereas in Florida IL is 81 per cent. 1t
would be total in Florida II the moon hap
pened TO be nearer the earth at the time
than II actually Is. AS the facts want II.
the moon and sun are at such distances
from the earth. that the moon appears 10
be a little smaller than the sun, so that
when centrally placed before II II is not
able to obscure the whole sun, but leaves a
narrow ring Of light visible all around II.
For this reason the eclipse is called an
annular or ring eclipse. This ring eclipse
is visible in the United States only along
a belt about e~ighty-five miles wide in
Florida. 1t is well worth a journey OF
many miles TO see. scientifically. however.
an annular eclipse is not Of much value,
since it requires a truly total eclipse to
show the suns magnificent corona, such
as was visible in the United States for tho
last time en- May Is. 1896. and will not be
visible again within our borders until
June S, 1915. ten years from now.
In Omaha the magnitude OF the eclipse
will be 50 per cent, and the sun will have
the appearance as indicated in the figure.

before their eyes and they foresaw how eager
1y the Protestant ministers at the capital
would welcome 1t as. of course genuine. Ac-
cordingly they drew up a proclamation in the
usual form of such documents. signed the gov
ernor's name to It, as well the name of the
secretary of state, and had numerous copies
printed. sending copy to each minister who
known to be DESTROYS of celebrating q
Thanksgiving. All were deceived by 1t save
one the Methodist minister, who had been
quietly notified by one of the young men that
it hoax. The others made formal
nouncement that they would the day thus
frauduently appointed hold Thanksgiving SER
vices. But on the evening before the day
rived to let the hoax Just fail Of Its object the
young men sent word to each of the ministers
that the proclamation was not genuine.
The ministers were not long in informing
their people that the Thanksgiving was de-
clared off. After that the subject of Thanks
giving was forbidden topic of conversation
or even alluson at the Illinois state capital for
several years. But the Thanksgiving not
SO easily prevented in the outlying districts
Copies of the bogus proclamation had been
sent to all the principal towns.-which made
preparations to observe the festival. The au
thors of the hoax had. however. repented in
time with reference to places outside of Spring
field and consequently warned clergymen in
those towns not to be fooled. 1t was believed
in Chicago to be genuine. but notice was
taken of it first or last.
Thanksgiving of New England had no official
recognition, except in Chicago. In 1851 Joel
A. Matteson, a native of New York, elect
ed governor of Illinois, and Notwithstanding his
nativity and religious connections-he was not
n Puritan nor even Puritanically inclined-he,
first of the governors of the state, issued his
proclamation for day of general thanksgiving,
after the fashion of the New Englanders- He
thus had the honor of being the founder in
Illinois of this ever-tobe-cherished institution.
In the days of the revolution Thanksgiving
day national affair, it being annually
recommended by congress. But there was no
national appointment of the day till 1884 on
account of the suppression of the whisky
rebellion President Madison recommended
Thanksgiving for the peace of 1915. That
the last national Thanksgiving for As
years.
1t is well known fact that the observance
of a day of thanksgiving dates far back in
American history. Its origin is traced to an
Gent festivals in which the Puritans at Ply
