A few weeks ago the newspapers

The impression was conveyed--per-
haps unintentisnally--b the article

look even an inch behind the surface
Of things read the news with jubilation.
For it meant, not that the country il
poorer, but richer. The money repre-
sented by the figures has not gone out
Of the country. That particular sum
was only fraction of the amount of
money that had been diverted from
the pockets OF the saloon keeper aud
the brewer into the tils of the grocer,
the baker. the butcher, the dressmaker.
the clothier and the banker. 1t meant
that money once wa ted is now being

that the closing of the saloons has set

The Odd Fellows have had this
plan under contemplation for several
years. butt it is within the last six
months that they have felt like push

HAGER DOES NOT LOSE
Eugene Hager Was Not the Loser in
Huron Oratorical Contest as
Was Supposed.

When Eugene nager vas down
from Huron recently he was
receiving the congratulations of his
friends over having won the honor
of representing Huron college in the
state oratorical contest in May. After
he had returned to Huron a report
was prevalent that another figuring
up of the markings gave the distinct
ion to the man who was in second
place, that an error was made in
the first figures. At the time of the
contest it tool the committee about
two hours to figure out the percent
ages of the two leading orators and
the decision was given to Hager.
Commenting on the decision stand
ing as it was originally, the Huronite
says:
"In the recent oratorical contest
for the Kent prize of $500 and the
honor of representing Huron college
in the Intercollegiate debate, d. E.
Hager was awarded first place but
some days thereafter m gained
current that a mistake had been
made by the Judges and that another
competitor was really entitled to first
place. For the past week this has
been a live wire in college circles
and has created considerable stir in
town. The matter was taken up by
a committee and the judges CORES
pended with, with the result that
Mr.. Hager will not be disturbed as
the champion orator of the college
but will be entitled to all the privi-
leges and emoluments thereof.

WEATHER FOR APRIL
Forester Hicks Makes His Predict.
ions for Weather for the Month
of ADril.

Irl Hicks makes the following
statements as to what the weather
will be for the coming month of
April:
A regular storm period is central
on the I'd reaching from March 81
to April 5. The Venus force, and the
Mars period is nearing it's center on
the 18th. Full moon on the equator
falls on the 9Th and Saturn is in
conjunction with earth and sun on
the Sd. This is an array of astron-
omic causes which forcibly suggests
phenomena out of the ordinary.
Storm and weather conditions will
reach a serious crisis from the list
to the 9Th, eliminating on and touch
ing the 4th and 5th. If a tendency
to tropical and tornado storms ex-
lists the last half of March, there will
be danger of a climax of such storms
at this period. Ii boreal storms of
snow and sleet have preceded, a
crisis of such storms and weather
will fall at this time. We think the
latter will prevail. Centering on the
9th and extending three days before
IL after that date is one OF the
most seismic yeriods of the year.
\ reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 18th and Stb. This per
iod is covered by the Mercury dis.
turbance and will bring renewal OF
low barometer and storms of rain
and possibly sleet and snow. With
so many other causes bearing on this
Mercury period, late in the season as
it is, people in the northern section
should not be surprised by destruct-
i've sleet storms and even billiards
at either of the first three storm per-
iods in April.
A regular storm period, embracing
the central days of both the Mars
and the Mercury periods, covers the
18th to the 10Th, being central with
moons last quarter on the 18th
This is another period when the
characteristics of the Mars influence
will be present to a marked degree,
Vicious thunder storms, heavy rains
with destructive hail in many locali.
ties, will result at this time. if boreal
influences have not phenomenally
dominated storm and weather thus
far in the Mars period.
A reactionary storm period is GER
trail on the 18th, 18th and goth, en-
bracing moon in perigee and on the
celestial equator on the 18th and
new moon on the 18th. This period
promises to be practically a prolong.

alton of the preceding period, caus-
ed by the continued influences of
Mercury, earth, Venus and Mars.
The disturbances of this period will
be characterized mainly by the same
kind of phenomena. On and touching
the 18th and 10Th sudden high tenn
perature, with very threatening
barometer. and thunder, rain and
hall are most probable. Tornadoes
are not improbable in many sections
central and southwark. A period of
five days taking moon on the 10th
as the center, is a time of great seis-
the worlds telepraphic reports will
confirm tie truth of this, and other
forecasts. Frosts and much cooler
will follow this period.
A regular storm period is en-
trail on the 25th, covering the Esd
to the 2Sth, having moon at greatest
declination north on the 9th. An
other marked fall of the barometer
will set in the west at the entrance
Of this period, followed closely by
cloudiness, higher temperature and
rain. Storm areas will grow wider
and gain intensity as they reach
central parts Of their eastward marcu
from about the 18th to the 2Sth
storms will eliminate from the Mis-
sissippi valley eastward to the At
lantic. High barometer, west winds
, and possibly snow squalls to the
northward need not be a surprise on
the real tangep.e of these storm
areas. Much cooler weather with
frost will be quite natural during
the last four or five nights of the
month. Whatever peculiar intensity
the Mars period may fasten upon the
general phenomena in March and
April, it will subside in a great meas
ure, by the end of April, leaving it
is hoped, a more placid possibility
for the month of May. If the first
half of April is not characterized by
frequent and intense storms of some
kind. seismic disturbances will be
more severe and general thus reliev-
ing the astronomic strain.

many is rather enjoying the scare

Herr Dominicus, a government
councillor of Strasburg, has recently
returned from a visit to England,
and has published an account of his
experiences there.
His liveliest impression was the
universal nervousness prevailing in
England with regard to Germany
1t is shared, he says, by educated
persons of all classes down to work
ing men.
"As soon as you get acquainted
with an Englishman," he says, "oiten
Immediately after the acquaintance

satlons at balls VITA TINS question:
and serious minded men ask at once,

Dreadnaughts?'
Herr Dominicus says the merry
ousness about Germany has given
English military aud naval affairs
wholly unwonted impetus.
The enthusiasm over the territorl-

development Of the Canadian and

direct outgrowth Of the German
