warm month and very changeable. 1t
will change from cold to hot, rain,
snow, sleet, electric storms, fog, biz
yards, severe cold, tornadoes in the
south, tidal waves on the Great Lakes,
hurricanes on land and sea, earthquake
shocks will be felt in Illinois, Indiana
and the western coast line, also in
Japan and Italy. We will have some
very cold weather next month, the
coolest in years, but it will not last
long. Then we will get some very
warm weather, followed by cold, with
hard frost.

the timid ones, l will say that this
celestial object will do mother eartn
no harm. 1t will pass the earth like

Uncle Sam to Lay in Supply for Boys
on Battleship.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Tobacco is a
filthy weed-or so, at least, it is evil
dent the men of Uncle Sans navy are
coming to believe. Bids were opened
today for 10000 pounds of spittin' and
chewin,' which is expected to supply
the enlisted men for the next fiscal
year. Last year 100000 pounds of
chewing tobacco was bought for the
navy, and the decrease indicates that
the men are giving up a habit which
is not considered polite in the best
social circles. 1t is expected that the
falling off in the demand for chewing
tobacco will result in an increased
demand for this smoking article.
Tobacco manufacturers says that the
action of the tars in abandoning
chewing for smoking is in line with
the sentiment of the general mascu-
line public The manufacture of chew
ing tobacco is steadily falling, while
that of cigars, cigarettes and smok-
ing mixtures shows corresponding in
crease.

Defendants in a Case Claim Prejudice
on Part of the Court.

An interesting and important ques-
ton has been raised by the defense
in the case of the Ham Brewing COM
pany VS.. William Wittmers and 9TH
ers. Some three years ago the brew
ing company got Judgment, but has
been unable to collect it, and Mr.. Witt
mers is now trying to have the judg
ment set aside and reopen the case
and has asked leave to answer. A. r.
Pfau, Jr., and C. j. Laurisch are the
attorneys for Mr.. Wittmers, and II.
L. & j. w. Schmitt represent the Ham
Brewing company.
The plaintiff objects to the hearing
of the trial of the motion on the
ground that one of the attorneys for
the defendant is a son of the Judge
of said court, and on the ground that
said judge is prohibited from sitting
in said cause by section 409S of the
revised laws of the state of Minnesota
for the year 1905.
The section referred to reads, in
part, as follows y ''No Judge shall sit
in any cause except to hear motion
to change the venue if ne be inter
ested in it's determination, or if he
| might be excluded for bias from acting
therein as juror,
| The decision on the point will also
involve the construction of section
1891 relating to selection of jurors in
criminal cases, which reads in part, as
fellows: "A challenge for implied
bias may be taken for all or any of
the following causes, anu for no othor'
/. The consanguinity or affinity with
in the ninth degree to the person al
legged to be injured by the offense
Charged, or to the person on whose
complaint the prosecution was insti-
tuted, or to the defendant. or to any
one of the attorneys, either for the
prosecution or for the defense,
|
Section 4l70 provides that the same
rule shall apply in the trial of civil
cases.
Judge Pau has not yet rendered a
decision on the objection.
