FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE COMET IS COMING
In the Next Bulletin Will Be Given the
General Crop Weather Forecasts for
June-The Next Disturbance to Cross
the Country About Twenty

copyrighted 1900 by w. I. Foster. J
Washington, D. c., May 22.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent 81 to 26, warm
wave 2I to rs, cool wave "a to 28 The
principal feature of this disturbance
was expected to be a great rise i'll tenn
perature and dry weather. Next dis
turbance will reach Pacific coast about
TO- cross Pacific slope by close of ~,
great central valleys 28 to 80, eastern
states 81. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about 70, great central valleys 28,
eastern states 80. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about 20, great central val
leys 81, eastern states June 2.
This disturbance will cause very high
temperatures and drouth, and following
the storm center a great fall i'll temper
atures will occur with thunder storms
and rains All weather features will be
radical and severe storms III a few linn
tied localities are probable
Next bulletin will give general crop
weather forecasts for June, one of the
most important crop months of the year.
| am expecting a number of destructive
storms during that month and will give
seaders of these bulletins the best ad-
vice possible
THE COMET IS COMING.
Much curiosity and excitement will be
caused next year by the return of Hal
ley's comet, the largest and most spec
tacu1ar that ever visited Our solar sys-
tenn during historic times. Astronomers
can not tell us the exact day the comet
will cross the earth's orbit, and there
fore can not determine whether any
danger threatens. It is not wholly inn
possible for comet to greatly injure
the earth, and less impossible that it
might come so close to the earth thai
animal and human health would be inn
paired. The chances, however, are i'm
mensely against any danger next year
from Halley's comet.
Probabilities are that we will see in
this comet the finest display and the
most wonderful ever witnessed by many
people now living. This comet returns
every seventy-six years, and those who
might remember its last visit must now
be at least eighty years old.
C4-
form during the coming appearance, as
it has frequently changed its appear
ance. It is the first comet definitely re-
corded in history, it having caused great
alarm more than 1000 years ago. More
anon about this wonderful comet.

STATE GAME COMMISSION

Mansfield Enterprise: State Game
Commissioner Miller objects to the
proposition to elect game wardens. We
fully agree with him, as the peanut poll
ticians must have good pay for doing
worse than nothing, and people won't
vote for them. We think that the people
might be satisfied with paying taxes, and
let the hungry boys continue to enjoy
their laziness while spending their TN
earned salaries.

THE DAILY RIVER BULLETIN,

THE DAILY RIVER BULLETIN.
People having no direct interest in the
river and the weather can sc1rcelv aD-
preclate the Importance of the Daily
River Bulletin of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture With this bull
letaln is given a forecast of the daily
weather, Sunday excepted.
This service is the more important at
the time when the crops on the low
land are growing and are not harvest
led. 1t is true that miles of levees pro-
tect the lands subject to overfows, but
all the lowlands on which is grown cot
ten, corn and other products are not
protected from floods. It may be
noted with satisfaction that several sta
tions have been added to the river re-
port which therefore is more valuable
than III the years past. 1t is now pos
sible to obtain daily the stage of the
river from the highest point and with
such information the dweiIers on the
river and these interested liz the c~ops
growing OH the lands adjacent to the
river may be posted and kept advised
of river conditions.
As this service is highly apprecited,
it is only fair that it should be noted
and given the widest publicity. The
Weather Bureau is entitled to this men
ton as if it were an individual.
The hope is expressed that this river
service may be extended to points in
Oklahoma.

Phil Draiss was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Flournoy on three bills
of information charging him with the
selling of liquor without license This
arrest was surprising to many of his
friends and the people.
1t was generally believed that he had
safeguarded himself against any posi-
bility of being reached for any violation
of the prohibition law.
To few, Draiss' arrest was no sur
prise, and when completed was accepted
as Forthcoming matter of fact. Draiss
was released On bond Draiss is con-

also Connected afith the Casino on Louis

10 COWS NOW
IN CITY POUND
NIGHT AND DAY TURNKETS CAP
TURED DOZEN BOVINES YES
TERDAY WHICH WERE REGAL
ING THEMSELVES ON GRASSES
AND FLOWERS.

Eighteen COWS of varying shades
and sizes were in the city pound on
East Intendencia street last night.
A dozen of these were captured in
one bunch in the northwestern part
of the city, and corralled while they
were regaling themselves on choice
grasses and flowers which had been
carefully cultivated on North Hill
premises. A report reached the pO-
lice station at $50 o'clock yesterday
morning that a drove of COWS was
in the North Hill limits and Night
Turnkey Simpson was sent in pur-
suit. Half an hour later, when Day
Turnkey Roach reported for duty, he
was despatched to relieve Officer
Simpson. The latter was found with
an assistant on Barcelona street
trying to keep a dozen head of cattle
together. About an hour of racing,
swearing and perspiring was con-
sumed before the pound lot was fin
ally reached.
Citizens have repeatedly complain
ed from the North Hill section OF
the damage SUFFERED by their lawns
and flower beds from wandering cat
tie, and they will be pleased to know
of the capture of the bunch before a
great deal of damage resulted.

GOOD FIND Of
STOLEN BOOTY
VALUABLE GOLD WATCH WHICH
HAD BEEN STOLEN BY NEGRO
RECOVERED BY SPECIAL OFF,
GERS WHO ARE DETAILED ON
CASE.

Red" Hamilton, the negro who Is
under arrest, and who appears to
have stolen from q score of houses,
Yesterday gave officers information
where they could and did find a valu-
able gold watch, lady's size. 1t had
monogram engraved On the case one
time, but the negro or some one else
has been shrewd enough to mutiIate
1t so that the letters cannot be de-
ciphered. The watch was recovered
by Special Oficer Ray. The marshal
is anxious for the owner to tdentlry
the time-piece, and anyone who be-
ieyes the watch their property
should call up the chief.
Hamilton appears to be on the verge
of making a clean breast OF every
thing since so many stolen articles
have been recovered and the proof
against him is so conclusive. He Is
given every chance to tell anything
he desires.
The police department has also re-
covered another lady's watch. The
owner should see about identifying
the same soon.
