FIVE HOURS.

Minneapolis. Mimi. - Speed fiends
the world over are keeping still, in
view of certain squirt of speed which
Is taking place today and which has
all past performances beaten to a
fragile. The distance from the south.
eastern corner OF Australia to the
southwestern coast Of Mexico, more
than 5000 miles, has been trayersed
In five hours. But the speeder was
nothing but shadow shadow 100
miles in diameter.
Wild Bob Burnham and Barney Old
field can rest at their wheels. The
fastest ocean greyhound might as we'll
give up trying to get there faster than
the shadow. the wind, even though
it blow its hardest, would have been
left far behind if it entered the race
and bullet fired from high power
rifle could not even keep up with it.
One thousand miles an hour is the
record which was made by the shadow
of the moon as it passes between the
sun and the earth today. placing the
sun in eclipse.
Prof. F. P. Leavenworth. of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, said the eclipse
was visible only in the southwestern
part of the western hemisphere. The
Friendly islands of the Pacific ocean
were directly in the path of the phe-
nomenon and from these expeditions
from several European countries made
observations.
The shadow passed any given spot
in five minutes SO observations of the
suns corona, or the light diffused be-
yond the shadow had to be made hur-
riedly. The path and exact time of
this eclipse had been mapped by as.
tronmers three years in advance.

three of which are in a direct align
ment with the sun. They were Earth,
Jupiter and Saturn. Astronomers say
the formation is but accidental and
meaningless.
Prof. Leavenworth said: 1.-THE ap-
proach of that shadow is a wonder
full thing to see from an elevation. l
have read accounts from those who
have witnessed such sight and they
say the speed of the shadow IS al
most incredible. Looking off in the
distance they saw cloud sailing in
the sun light. Suddenly it was snatch
ed from sight by sinister overwhelm-
ing darkness, which they saw APP
preaching at fearful rate. The dark,
ness lasted for five minutes, that is.
until the 100-mile shadow passed on
and then there was light again.

IN FAVOR OF PURE FOODS.

Every person in the state Of Wis
consin who favors pure foods will
endorse the re-appofntment of J. Q.
Emery to the office of Dairy and
Food Commissioner by Gov. Fran
els E. McGovern. His re-appoint-
ment is the endorsement of duty
well performe' in the interests OF
the people. It is generally under
stood and believed that Mr.. Emery
is working hard and giving of the
best there is in him in the enforce
ment Of the laws Of the state in IA
vor of pure foods. AS a result, he
is making some enemies by the pro
secuuon of those who violate the
law in placing impure foods upon
the market for sale Had the Gov
ernor failed to re-appoint Mr. Emery
it would have been a discouragement
for that officer to prosecute viola
tors of the law in that department.
We join with the Governors friends
in commencing this appointment as
a most worthy and deserving one
It is absolutely necessary to prose
cute those who are trying to place
impure products for sale in the state
of Wisconsin.

TOMAHlTE FOR COUNTY SUPT.

Many of our readers will be interest
ed in the fact that in the neighbor-
ing county of Wood, a former Tomah
boy, George A Varney, is candidate
for the office OF county superintend-
ent of schools at the coming spring
election. George was graduated from
our high school with the class of
1889, having gone through school on
clutches, disabled by rheumatism
He was an unusually good student
and won the sympathy and admiration
of everyone by his plucky efforts un.
der adverse conditions. From early
boyhood he was thrown upon his own
resources with no one to help him,
and though handicapped by a severe
physical affIiction he was never
daunted in his determination to make
the most of himself
After graduating here he took up
the work of teaching, first in Clark
county for a few years and then in
Wood county where he has taught
about ten years with excellent sue
cess. At present he is principal of
schools at Vesper To this experience
in teaching he has added constant
study, has taken a years work in
the State University, besides attend
ing the summer schools He now
holds a county superintendent GER
tificate and is well equipped for the
office to which he aspires.
Without disparagement to any of
the other candidates for the position,
we feel sure that none of them can
be more worthy of the honor and we
doubt if any of them can show better
qualifications for the office than
George Varney. Everybody who knew
him here will hope to see him win in
the lectiOn-Tomah Journal
