ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
It VIII Be Visible Sunday From Early
Morning Till Noon.

New York, June 27.-While much
popular interest will probably be
manifested in the partial eclipse of the
sun which will be visible throughout
the United States tomorrow, continu-
ing several hours, it is not probable
that any special effort will be made
by the astronomical departments of
the local colleges, universities and
scientific institutions to study it be-
cause most of the professors Of as
tronomy are out of the city.
The sun will enter the shadow as
visible here at 9:24 o'clock tomorrow
morning and the partial eclipse will
last until shortly after IL o'clock,
about seven-twelfths of the sun being
obscured when the shadow is at its
greatest.

ion reached the spot they found the
man in front standing in mud half
way to his knees trying to extricate
his left foot. At this point Thomas
removed his shoes and took to the bog
like a Ulster county Irishman. He put
them back on after he had struck a
patch of nettles on the hill side.
After a three mile jaunt through
thickets and over and around hills the
party reached the farmers house. The
latter proved to be ready as his friend
had predicted. He had the gasoline
and the disposition to succor the motor
boat party.
He led the way to his auto shed,
and after a deal of trouble located the
valve under the machine that released
the flow of the excitable liquid.and drew
out two quarts of it into couple Oh
Mason fruit jars. Then this agricul-
turist called his trusty sheep dog, cut
hickory stick, lighted two lanterns
and proceeded to guide the party back
to their boat. 1t was we'll he did so,
for by this time the night was pitch
dark The way back was two ana
one-half miles shorter than the COM
ing way, but the mud in that bog mad
not dried to any extent, and MT.
Thomas lost his shoes in the mlre.
The farmer stood at the edge of the
bog and shouted directions to the ad-
yenturous excursionists. He stood
there his lantern shining in the dark
like a star, until the word was given
him that the boat had been 1ouno'
then his light could be seen for mo-
ment twinkling through the trees, as
he started on his long and lonely cllmp
back I'D the hill. Resolutions of thanks
were adopted in their minds by the
members of the motor boat party.
When the forlorn hope party
reached the launch they found that
sister craft had come to the rescue
The Iona, under command of Captain
Arthur McKinstry and manned by
Lenoard Goddard and Emmett Nc
Ministry was moored beside the dis
tressed Topeka and the FORMER
crew had built a fire on the river pank
to keep away the mosquitoes and
wolves.
Those two quarts of gasoline, Sc
cured after such labor and risk, pul
new heart into the tired engine and
the launch shot down the river like an
arrow through the dark. The fve
mile run to the city was made in less
than half an hour and the party went
ashore at the landing at City PARK
none the worse for their trip. Tney
had had one of the most delightful
and exciting voyages in the history OF
motor boating on the Kaw, and they
had discovered a modern Tolstof, Nv
ing among rural scenes where ne
raises alfalfa and garden truck In
such abundance that he uses his stable
as a garage.

Clay Center Light Company Wants
Rehearing.

The Clay Center Light & Power COM
pany is not through fighting the pro-
posed municipal light plant at Clay
Center. The attorneys for the COM
pany have prepared petition for
rehearing in the case which the su-
preme court decided in favor OF the

misconstrued the scope and purport
of the statutes of Kansas.
The case has been in the courts Tor
two years and was started Dy an IN
i,,nction proceeding brought by the
Company to prevent the city Of Clay
Center issuing the bonds the people
had voted for a city owned electric

could not get together on terms. The
company maintains that the city was
compelled to renew its franchise TOT
another twenty years but the supreme
court has decided against the COM
pany at every turn in the road.

A Brief History of The Citizens
Road.BuiIdinT Association.

ROad.BuiIding Association.
The Citizens Road Building
Association of Lafayette was or
gained Oct. 10, 1905. Article 4
of it's charter defines the pur.
poses and object of the associa.
ton to be: To build, repair and
maintain public roads and
bridges, under contract or other
wise in the parish of Lafayette;
and to promote and assist the
cause of good roads. and to do
any act necessary to successful.
" conduct the affairs of the as
ISOLATION.
This movement was inaugura-
ted with q view principally of inn
proving the roads leading to
the town of Lafayette, and keep
ing them in good condition. In
accordance with this idea the as
ISOLATION entered into "a contract
with the police Jury Nov. 2. 1905.
to build, drain and maintain the
public roads in the 3rd ward for a
term of three years.
Under the terms of the con-
tract with the Police Jury, the
association was to receive all
taxes and funds collected or APP
portioned to the 3rd ward for
drainage and road building pur.
poses. The revenue from this
source not being sufficient to re-
habilitate the roads, which were
in a very bad condition at the
time, it was necessary to raise
additional funds by public SUBJ
scription for that purpose. The
work of establishing good drain
age and retaining the roads
was begun and prosecuted dill
gently and with excellent re-
suits. It proved to be a costly
undertaking in the beginning,
but the promoters believed that
after q good foundation would be
laid the cost of keeping up the
work would not go beyond the
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1908-08-21

total amount of the road, vehicle
and drainage taxes collected an
nually. This calculation would
probably have turned out to be
correct if all, or even seven
eighthS, of these taxes we're reg
ularly collected. but in an ex-
perience of nearly three years it
was seen that a considerable por-
ton of these taxes remained un-
paid, o was there any serious
effort made by the authorities to
collect the delinquent taxes. Or
this account the Citizens Road
Building Association. having ex
hauSted all of it's own funds,
found it impossible to properly
work the roads with the amount
realized under its contract with
the Police Jury. This condition
led to an abandonment last June,
because to keep up the work un-
der such circumstances imposed
an unreasonable burden upon a
limited number of public spirited
citizens. 1t is unfortunate for
the business interests of Lafa-
yette that the original plans of
the Citizens Road Building AS
ISOLATION cnnld not be continued,
as they held uuta reasonable as
Surance of good roads to Lafa-
.yette at all seasons of the year.
The following extract from the
proceedings of the Police Jury
speaks well Of the work of the
association:
With reference to the com
munication of the Citizens Road
Building Association, appearing
in the Police Jury proceedings of
date of May 7th, requesting that
its contract with the Police Jury,
to work and maintain the public
roads of the 3rd ward, be made
null and void as of date of June
4th. being the time of the expira
ton of the term of Office of the
old Police Jury, with the ap
proval of Messrs. Martin and
VOORHEES,, jurors of the said
ward, the Police Jury hereby ac-
cedes to the demand aforemen-
toned. and wishes to record It's
appreciation for the faithful way
in which the association fulfilled
it's contract and the very good
work done by it during the past
two and one half years."
The excellent road and drain
age work done by the Citizens
Road. Building Association in the
3rd ward during the past two
and a half years will make it pos.
sible to keep up these roads with
much less effort and expense to
the Police Jury in the future.
And in addition to this material
benefit the public is also indebt-
ed to the association for the
widening of the Carencro road

BULGARIA IS PREPAR TO
RESIST TURKEYS DEMANDS
Good Finances and a Good Army viii
Enable Bulganians to War for
independence.

Sofla--M. Malinon, president OF the
council, has made the following state
ment concerning the present situa-
ton in Bulgaria:
"The chances of a direct under
standing with Turkey are not now
great, but the present government
views the situation with optimism. AS
matters stand, Turkey is bound TO
see sooner or later the futility of work
at cross purposes which will only re
suit in bringing herself under the con
troll of others. Turkey recently has
been wholly under foreign guidance,
but she will not gain security until
she gains the friendship of Bulgaria.
This is realized by many enlightened
Turks, incluring Kiamil Pasha, who is
great statesman.
Good finances and a good army en-.
able Bulgaria to resist eXorbitant de
mands of Turkey and await conf.
IDENTIFY recognition of independence,
which It is believed will occur in the
near future. The Bulgarlans prize in
dependence highly, being convinced
that it is a momentous step in the life
of the nation, which It was bound tC
take at the first opportunity. Pull
Caria found its opportunity in the rev.
dictionary movement in Turkey by
the young Turks. The Macedonian
question continues to affect Bulgaria
vitality"
