MOON WAS CAPTURED
Continued from page l)

asteroids now do. had made circuits
close about the planets. IN the
neighborhood of planet like Jupiter
the sphere of the suns control was
shown to have an extension or pro-
tuberance on IT, like the neck OF
bottle, or hour-glass with very un-
equal bulbs, and when the small bod
les moving abount the Sun came into
this neck they could revolve about
Jupiter. and in many cases again re-
turn to their paths about the sun.
In other cases after revolving about
Jupiter they would be captured by
the action of the nebulous resisting
medium about the planet, and stay
there forever as satellites.
By revolving about the planet for
a long time, their orbits would be
rounded up into almost perfect cir
cles, and made smaller and smaller,
till they became just like the satellite
orbits are now observed to be. Such,
he says, has been the origin of the
satellites generally, and the rings of
Saturn have had similar origin
by the capture of waste nebulosity
once circulating around the sun.
When this matter is once brought in
near the planet, it cannot again es-
cape, but must stay there permanent
ly because in the space near the
planet the planets attraction is su-
preme.

however. more than usual uncertainty
existed as to how this large satellite
originated and special investigat-
tion of the problem had to be made.
The moons mass is relatively very
large, about one-eightieth of the
earth's mass; and then Darwins arg
ument that the moon had once been
part of the earth had to be over
come. This Professor See says, he
has done with entire success. and he
announced that he had proved math-
ematically that our moon too had
been captured and had come to us
from the heavenly spaces.

like mercury, but not quite so large.

WORK STARTS
NEXT MONDAY

The eNcavating work on the big
ditch of the Orchard Mesa project
will be formally commenced on Mon
day, although some small gangs of
men are at work today, says today's
Palisade Tribune. Twelve carloads
of teams and material came in Thurs
day and Friday and several more are
on the road. The first shipment left
Denver last Sunday but because of
the delay in traffic caused by the
burning of the bridge near DeBeque
the teams were unloaded at New
castle and there was some difficulty
in securing cars for reloading.
G. j. Magenheimer and his son
were in Palisade early this week but
are now in Salt Lake, and will return
on Monday. Allen & Wells the eX-
cavating contractors, are here in ac-
tive charge of the work. II. j. Allen,
Jr.. is in charge of the office, which
is in the bank building. The main
camp of the outfit will he about a
mile and IA half above Cameo and
other gangs will be working at short
intervals all along the line of the

the same distance as the earth. Then
it came between the sun and the
earth in such way as to enter the
neck of the space resembling a bot
tie neck projecting from the sun s
sphere of control and enclosing the
earth. This neck was quite small and
narrow, but the bulb of space enclos-
ing the earth and constituting its
sphere of attraction was of consider
able size When the moon had once
left the suns control and gone into
the bulb about the earth, it met with
some resistance, and the neck became
closed, so that the moon was bottled
up under the earth's control and
could not escape. Hence II has re-
mained with the earth ever since,
and will always abide with us.
BY revolving about the earth in
the space controlled by our planet,
the moon has met with considerable
resistance, and its orbit has become
smaller and smaller and also rounder
and rounder. Thus it has come near
er and nearer the earth, but never
has been closer than at present.
Thus" he concludes. Darwin 5
theory of the moons detachment
from the earth is overthrown, and an
entirely new theory developed which
has the support of all the highest
mathematical science now known"
In a second paper communicated
to the Astronomical Society of the
Pacific last night. Prof. See explain
ed the famous outstanding inequality
of six seconds in the secular accelera-
tion of the moons mean motion. He
said this perturbation in the moons
motion had been discovered by Hal
ley in the time of Newton. 1t was
partially explained by Leplace in
1887. but gravity alone would not
account for the observed accelcra-
ton since the time of the Chaldeans,
72O b. C., and the outstanding diff
ference had perpleXed the greatest
mathematicians for more than a CEN
tury. Having discovered that the
moon was originally captured. and
was still slowly nearing the earth.
Professor See said he had removed
the last difficulty, and the result
would be decided improvement in
astronomy,

IN LONELY ROOM
WOMAN SUFFERS
Aged Lady, Endeavoring to Collect a
Claim From City Tells of Pitiful
Condition. = Old Resident.
WAS INJURED ON A SIDEWALK

In IL four room house, entirely
devoid of furnishings, with the
exceptions of a stool, II dry goods
box, and small stove, with
couple of blankets on the floor,
which floor was barren the
day il was builD, Miss Wilson,
aged 5S years, of lib Ouray
avenue, was interviewed this
morning by II Sentinel reporter,
in regards to II claim she has
filed against the city for i'm
iuries sustained from fall due,
she states, to "a detective side
walk.
Miss Wilson. who has been a resi-
dent of the Grand valley since 1882,
was granted a divorce from her hus-
band about two years ago by Judge
Sullivan and since that time she has
had to depend for her livlihood upon
her own efforts. Up to the time she
was hurt she stated she was earning
a dollar a day but since the accident.
April IL. she has been unable to do
a days work and would have starved
where she lay on the hard floor and
suffered weeks from her injuries
which later developed into blood
poisoning, had not she been discover
ed by kind neighbors who have taken
her food and given her money occas-
ionally, ever since her destitution be-
came known.
She had medical attendance by
spells, when some charitable person
in the vicinity called in physician
at their own expense but Miss Wilson
refused o go in debt for any thing,
even for an extra comfort" at a
Gnpnnh hand make her he'd
more comfortable.
On one occasion when her injuries
were at the worst she declares she
cleaned out the wounds with knife
and sprinkled salt over them to save
the blood poisoning from spreading.
AT about the same time she was
taken down with erysipelas and
when her fever was at the highest
she would lock the doors and hide
the keys so that when she was out of
her head she could not escape from
the house and follow out the impulse
which was ever prevalent at night, to
jump into the river and end it all.
She stated that at one time she
had children but all had died, and
now had no living relatives to her
knowledge.
The injury which she suffered oc-
Cured while returning home from
work at about dusk, from Teller ave-
nue. to her home, which was then in
Crawford Addition on west Ouray
avenue.
In speaking of her suit against the
city she said. "A couple of gentlemen,
representing the city were up here
yesterday and wanted to know if I
would take $4,000 but | told them
that if | took that and paid what
was due the doctors | would only
have about 80 cents left and | would
rather not have any than that much
and that | wouldn't settle unless l
got more than that
The matter has at last gained the
consideration of the city officials who
will probably decide today how much
they shall allow the crippled. home
less old lady. as a compromise for
her suit
AT any rate charitable institutions
of the city should make an effort to
get her a more cheerful place to live
and take her away from the barren,
lonely and desolate house where she
has lived all alone for the past six or
eight weeks.

growing contest last spring are
anxious to exhibit, what they
have done, so on Saturday,
Nov. 6, from l to 4 o'clock p.
m., the judging will occur at

dent Kemp of the institution
has kindly offered the use of
the new assembly room of the
Forestry building, and the
juding will take place there.
| wish the boys and girls
would send their packages by
freight or express, prepaid,
directed to me, or they may
take their samples with them
if they are coming to Botti-
neau on that day. Also be
sure to write your name and
postoffice address on a tag and
fasten to an ear of the sample
corn.
The BOttlneau county fair
association has offered prizes
as an inducement to the boys
and girls to become interested
in the agricultural interests of
Bottineau county, and as an
experiment to see what the
county can do in the way of
growing corn. After this ex-
hibit some of the best samples
will be sent to Fargo for the
state exhibit.

under other circumstances,
would have done so, but all
who are interested are, never
theless, cordially invited to
come TO Bottineau on that day.

SPECIAL ELECTION NOV. 20
Proposition Of Issuing Reiunding Bonds
TO be Submitted TO the Voters.

AS will be seen by the cleo
ton notice given official pub
licatiOn elsewhere in this issue
of the COurant, a special cleo
ton will be held on Monday,
November 20, to vote on the
proposition of issuing refund
ing bonds in the amount of
$14, ,UOO.OC to take up the out
standing warrants of the city
These warrants are now
drawing interest at the rate of
seven per cent per annum and
the object of issuing refunding
bonds in their stead is to lower
the rate of interest on this out
standing obligation of the city.
The issuing of these bonds will
not add to the total indebtedness
OF the city as these warrants
are now part thereof, but
their issuance will effect a saw
ing of several hundred dollars
year in the form of interest as
the refunding bonds will be
taken by the state at par and
draw only four per cent
interest. AS it is simply a
money saving proposition there
should be no opposition to the
issuance of the bonds.
The cities of Westhope and
Lansford recently voted to
issue refunding bonds to take
up outstanding warrants draw
ing interest.
After these bonds are issued
the city can soon be placed on
a cash basis and warrants will
then be worth their face value,
whereas they are now discount
ed by the banks at least five
per cent.

Death of Miss Dora Bell.

The death of Miss Dora Bell
Monday afternoon cast a shadow
of gloom over the entire com
munity. Bright's disease was
the cause of her death and her
last illness was of three week S
duration.
The funeral services were
held at St. Marks Catholic
church at 10 o'clock yesterday,
being conducted bv Rev. Faith
ers G. NJ. Turcotte and r. J.
Eagleston. There was a large
attendance Of friends and neigh
bors who had com e to pay the
last mark of esteem. The re-
mains were. inferred in Oak
creek cemetery. %
Helen Dora Bell was the
daughter of William and Eliza
Bell and was born February 9,
1886. She was reared in this
community, attended the local
schools and was for a time en-
ployed by the Northern tele-
phone company. She took a
course of study in Munson' $
shorthand institute in Min
neapo1is and thereafter was
employed as stenographer by
Bowen & Adams, attorneys
of this city. She then attended
St. Katherine's college, St.
Paul, for a year, again entering
the employ of Bowen & Adams
upon her return. When John
Carmody of Hills boro was ap-
pointed by Gov. Burke Judge
of the supreme court he chose
Miss Bell as his stenographer
and she was thus employed at
Bismarck until the death of
her brother John in July. She
is survived by her mother and
and two brothers rs-William and
George. Her father died in
1902 and her brother John on
July 5.
She was an amiable and love
