ANOTHER RIPRoARER FOR US.
Hicks Says We are Doomed to January
Of Severe Cold and Storms.

The good DIR. Hicks, the noted weather
prognosticator, was way off in his pre-
dictions for December. Let US give
him one more trial before casting him
out of the synagogue as q fake. Here s
what he says for January:
Reactionary storm period is central
on the LIST, End ard 3rd. xsThc ~elare sew
eral reasons for apprehending general
and severe terrestrial and atmospheric
perturbations at and about this first
storm period in 1908. No reader of
these forecasts should be surprised if
one of the greatest cold waves of the
winter appears from about the 3rd to
the 7th, progressively out of the North
west.
A regular storm period is central on
the 8th, which date is also the centerof
the Venus period. The moon IS on the
celestial equator on the 9Th and on the
10th. BY the 7th rising temperature,
falling barometer and renewed storms
of rain, sleet and snow win appear in
western sections. BY the 9th the front
of these storm areas viii reach central
parts of the Mississippi valley, with
possible winter lightning and thunder
southwark on and touching that day
Meantime phenomenally high harofn-
eter and rushing cold dwaye will be adj
vancing from t..,e northwest. BY the
11th the storms, amounting to ohlizzards
over wide areas, viii have passed to the
Atlantic seaboard, leaving the high ba-
rometer and severe cold to dominate
the country generally, progressively
from about the 10th to the 18th.
A reactionary storm period will make
itself felt on the 18th, l4th and 18th
The results in progressive way from
east to west, win be change to warmer,
falling barometer growing cloudiness
and rain turning into SLOW. Tendency
to stormy, threatening weather win
prevail continuously through more than
half of January.
A regular storm period falls from the
18th to the 22nd, having its center on
the Goth. Change to warmer with fall
ing barometer and rapidly forming
storm areas viii appear in western parts
on and touching the 18th. This cold
wave win sweep southwark and east
ward until almost the entire country
win feel the icy breath of the north blast.
Seismic shakes viii be reported within
sixty hours of noon on the 18TH
A reactionary storm period falls on
the 24th to 9th, with the mercury per-
iod central on the 9th. Rain and snow
and sleet followed by colder may be ex-
pected. The month ends n a regular
storm period.

FINEST FAMIIz ON EARTH
GATHERING. EVE I me FOR OUR
BRIGHT NV YEAR.
The Censor Homecoming Unites Those
Who Have Not Been on Speaking
Terms" for Many Years.

This is the season that leayens family
jars-that never ought to exist. If
there have been differences in the big
CENSOR family, the misunderstanding
and woes are healed with this auspicious
New Year, and we have a united and
happy family-or will have when all
have finally broken bread and toasted
shins around the parental fireside. The
children have been with US numerous,
and rejoiced at their reception. There
are those, we are grieved to mention,
that have not been home, neither have
they sent word of comfort or greeting,
and the old parent is exercised for their
welfare in strange lands. To the boys
and girls who have been absent for
dozen or more years, ard no message
of greeting, the olive branch of kim
ship is again extended, and you are
beseeched to visit home and the loved
ones before the family ties sre dissolved
by the Hand of Providence" Now is
the accepted time. The Pickering light
will be left in the window TO guide you
in.
Since the old parent last spoke the
comers and message transmitters have

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND DEATH.
At Westby on Christmas Eve Hans Gill
bertson the Victum.

There was railroad accident on the
Southeastern at Westby Christmas eve.
Hans Gilbertson, aged about 35 years,
was about to pass over the track at one
of the crossings III the upper part of
the town, when the evening train was
coming south, and just as the engine
reached the crossing he apparently
walked right on the front of the engine,
catching on the snow plow. He was
carried some Is feet and then rolled off
down a steep embankment, rolling over
three times. He received 3 small scalp
wound and was promptly taken to DR..
Schee who dressed it.
1t was not thought the accident was
serious, but it seems Mr.. Giibc rtson
was troubled with appendicitis and had
complained of pains during that day
and that tne jar and shaking up he got
while rolling down the embankment
aggravated his difficulty and he died
the next evening.
After the accident he got up, some
friends assisting him, and wanted to
know where his hat was and walked
with some assistance to the doctors
office, afterwards going out three miles
in the country in lumber wagon. Mr.
Gilbertson was unmarried

HOPES FOR BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD
All Longing for Better Conditions in To-
bacco Market

There are signs for the hope and be-
lief that the congested and stagnant
conditions in the tobacco situation will
clear up within the next few days, or
weeks at the most. An eastern trade
journal reports that portion of an
Edgerton 1906 packing has been taken
over by an eastern manufacturer. And
a local packer and dealer said to a rep
resentative Of the CENSOR that he was
not positive, but was hopeful that buy
ing of the new crop would commence
within a few Gays and that if such ac-
tion is taken it would be natural that
warehouses must open for sorting, fur
nishing employment to hundreds who
denend on warehouse work for winter
season. Ii is to be hoped that matters
will clear up and this great industry
move on as of old.
Probably not more than twenty-five
per cent of last years tobacco was tax
en- from the poles, stripped and placed
in bundles following late case weather.
G. A. Partridge of Red Mound told the

his seventeen acres.
