sun Will Be IN
TOTAL ECLIPSE TODAY
First Time Since 1869 Chickens
VIII So 10 RO0st and Fowls That
Fly a Night VIM Appear.

On this Thursday } afternoon, June II,
a total eclipse Of the sun is billed for
for this part of the country, according
to almanac editors and astronomical OBJ
servations.
The last total eclipse Of the sun was
witnessed here shortly after the rumble
of the bloody Civil War had Quoted
down, in the year 1869. The eclipse
will be remembered by many Of our
citizens who yet speak Of it as very
weired experience and an event which
now figures noticeably in the folk lore
of the south.
The south during the latter years
of the sixties was poverty stricken
from the ravages of the war, and
when darkness enveloped the land at
MONDAY the people of the ignorant
classes were awe-stricken by the effect
of the phenomena and fell to the earth
in PRAYER, thinking the eve of terrible
catastrophe was upon them. Chickens
went to roost and cocks crowed. Mar
tins and owls and other fowls which fly
at night. appeared and candles and
lamps were lighted in the dwellings.
The eclipse predicted for June II is
to be total and will be reproduction
of the one in 1869. The occasion will
afford rare experience, as all who
ever witnessed total eclipse of the
sun state that they can never forget
il.

turned to his Office here from the board

year. ten more raising Burley Tobacco
this year than ever did before. He said
that splendid reports for the pooling of
crops come from all the counties except
four, Henry, Washington. Fayette and
Woodford. In these the outlook is bad.
Commissioner Rankin has written a
letter to President LeBus and will urge
before the District Board that a COM
plete revision of the organization he
made. beginning with a precinct organ

proposes that the precinct members

way he believes the organization will
be built up from the people.

BOND ISSUE WENT WRONG.
One Story From the Prosperous
West, With a Possible Moral.

WICHITA, Kan, February 13-Even in
an era when enthusiasm of investors over
bonds seems to be growing it is not safe
to relax precautions. A rather extraor-
binary incident in investment history oc-
Cured in Grant county during the past
week. The town of Ulysses, the county
seat. is bonded for $50, 600, issued to build
WaterworkS Following this financial
transaction the population decreased and
the bonds We're repudiated.
A national bank of New England holds
the bonds, and brought suit to collect in
terest and principal, both past due The
case is To come up March l. when a
decree will be granted and 1t special tax
levy will be made.
This was the novel sequel. To avoid
the bonds, the town has moved. Every
building has been transferred within two
days across the line of the toWnsite to a
piece of prairie just outside the town lin
its. The hondholders can have the piece
of plain that was the original site; it is
worth perhaps $500
The scheme was kept quiet until all ar
ransements were made. so that no in
functions could be scured. The two drv
goods stores and the hotel were skidded
out of town the first night, the residences
and the schoolhouse followed later, and
now the site is bare. 30 railroads run
through the county, and the nearest tele-
graph station is twenty-four miles away
all of which made it easy to maintain Sc
crecy regarding the plan of reputation.
The original bonds were sold for small
discount, and the money appears to have
been used to pay officers salaries, for no
water works ever were built

ECHO OF SToLYPIN EXPLOSION.
Former Prominent Woman Terrorist
Dies Of Starvation.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 30 (Sat-
urday)-Mlle Tatiano Kotova, formerly
a prominent leader In Terrorist circles
and one OF the organizers Of the attempt
on the life OF Premier Stolypin at his
island villa and Of the great customs
robbery in St. Petersburg in 1906. has
died of starvation and exposure at the
Ouboukhouff Hospital here. AS her part in
the Stolypin conspiracy Mile. kotova Sc
cured employment as domestic in the
villa and furnished the information about
the entrances and the locations of the
various rooms, on which the Terrorists
worked.
After the premature explosion Of the
bomb, by which over thirty persons were
killed, Mile. Kotova was arrested and i'm
prisoned for many months, but finally
escaped.
She had since been leading a surrep-
titious existence in st. Petersburg, In con-
slant fear Of arrest, until the strain ulti-
mately affected her mind. Recently she
applied at the house of a relative for
shelter, but was refused, and after wan
dering about the fields in the outskirts of
the city without food for several days
she was picked up and taken to the hos
pital in dying condition.
