METEOR SEASON AT HAND.
July, August and November Months
When Phenomena May Be Seen.

The meteor season is at hand. As
tronomers generally regard the months
of July. August and November as the
particular months when meteors are
abundantly displayed. August and No
vember are memorable as having been
the months of brilliant exhibitions of
meteors in the modern past. In more
ancient times July and October were the
favored months by the same meteoric
systems. which have slowly advanced in
their dates owing to changes in astro-
nomical conditions. To the regular OBJ
server the meteoric season may he said
to open at or about the middle of July,
when there occurs a decided increase in
the visible number of meteors cotem-
porary with the first oncoming of the
great Perseid shower. Twice as many
meteors may usually be observed dur
ing the last half of July as in the first
half. This is not wholly due to the ac-
tfvity of two or three special showers.
but is partly attributable to a general
increase in meteoric phenomena. July
often affords a most agreeable recon-
pense to the observer in supplying plenty
Of interesting objects. and this is al
ways appreciated after their rarity in
preceding months.
Astronomer Denning, the most emf
nent in this character of scientific phe-
nomena, says the Perseids will be spien-
didly witnessed this year with suitable
weather about August 9-l3.

TO LIMIT EXPECTATIONS.
Army Officials Aim to Keep Breed
ing Horses for U. S. Army.

The chief Of staff of the army and the
quarterma ster general recently conferred
with officials Of the Department Of Agri-
culture with view to obtaining legisla-
ton that will put an embargo on the ex
portation of breeding horses of a type
used by the United States Army to
European. belligerents who are at this
time purchasing large numbers of them.
The European countries are buying
horses which have been trained to the
field and can be utilized without the de-
lay on the battlehelds. The United
States Army confines its purchases to the
young animals which have to be broken
in and trained before put into actual
service.
1t is feared that heavier draft will be
made on the supply of horses of this
country unless some plan is devised for
retaining them for use in our own army.

MRS. ALDER T0ATTEND
c. A. R. REUNION HERE
Civil War Nurse Sent Home to Die
Over Half Century Ago
Still Alive.
Contracted Fever While With Wis

son-Member of W. r. C.

Mrs. Emily Alder. an army nurse dur
ing the civil war, holder of many i'm
portant offices in the Woman's Relief
Corps in the past, is expected to attend
the national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Washington
next September. She is seventy-fiye
years old and her home is in Clarion,
Iowa.
Mrs Alder is national chaplain of the
Army Nurses of the Civil War. She
Ohio at an early age, and from Ohio TO
Milton, Wis. She met Henry Alder at
school there and afterward they were
married. When the war broke out
Henry Alder and two brothers of Mrs.
Alder. Charles and John B. Flint, and
two cousins enlisted in the 18th Wis
consin Infantry. Henry Alder and John
B. Flint served until the war closed
and were discharged, but the others
died in service.
Went to Fort Donelson.
The second battle of Fort Donelson
was fought February 3. 1863, and Mrs.
Alder was called by friends in the 18th
Wisconsin Regiment to come and nurse
the WOun0eO. Inc night aIter the pat
tie was a bitter cold one and thousa nds
lay sick, wounded or dying on the field.
AS quickly as possible they were
gathered up and sent by boat down the
river to Paducah, KY, where all the
public buildings were at once con-
fscated and turned into hospitals.
Blue and Gray were cared for alike,
and many pathetic scenes took place,
one particularly Mrs. Alder noted,
that of a southern soldier who was
shot near the heart and was in a dying
rations so long that he had no strength
left to fight with. He pleaded for solid
food but it would have been instant
death to have given it, so, hard as it
was to witness his agony. he had to be
denied and left, while others were at
tended to.
Fell Ill Nursing.
From Paducah Mrs. Alder went to
the fort where the 18th Wisconsin was
stationed. She nursed until fall. when
she caught a fever and nearly died.
Col. Lyons ordered her husband to Sc
cure a nurse and send her home to
die, but she did not die. A change of
climate was what she needed, and she
began rapidly to improve, and was
able to nurse a crippled husband for
many years.
She dedicated the remainder of her
life to the work of caring for the
veterans and as a member. of the Wom-
ans Relief Corps is enabled to carry
out her desire. .-.

WILL BUILD A.
GREEN HOUSE

R. J. Koerner, manager of the Vir-
ginia Floral company, has purchased
from one of the local real estate deal
ers several acres Of land seven miles
northwest of this city for a green
house. Work will be commenced soon
to put up the building which will cost
several thousands of dollars. Dur
ing a recent business trip to Mil
waukee, Mr.. Koerner ordered furnish
ings for the interior of the green
house.
He will do considerable truck farm
ing on the land and will supply the
market in Virginia and other Range
towns. Several acres of the land
will be planted to nursery plants and
the whole new plant will be a credit
to the city.
The business of the Virginia Floral
company has been growing rapidly
and it is the belief of Mr.. Koerner that
the increased business can best be
cared for in that manner. The com.
pany is now doing business in the
Mesaba Railway company waiting
station on Wyoming avenue.

Former Virginia Bookkeeper
Takes Part i'm Battle and Has
Sleeve Shot Away.

Anxiety to get into battle, which has
worried Godfrey Roper, former book
keeper for the w. T. Bailey Lumber
company in this city, who is with the
Princess Patricias, crack Canadian
regiment at the front on the French
border, has been granted.
In letter written t. H. C. Kelly, of
the Office force Of thu w. T. Bailey
company, Mr.. Roper states that he
finally got into a bullet contest in
which part of the sleeve Of his left
arm was shot away and in which a
lieutenant, standing on his right was
wounded and several soldiers on his
left were knocked over by the fire Of
the enemy. The letter, which was
written from LaBassee, France, goes
on to relate how the Princess Pa
tricias has come into considerable
prominence as a result Of the grand
fighting spirit shown by the members
of that regiment and says further
that it is more than probable that this
Canadian crew will be soon asked to
bear the brunt of some of the heavi-
est fighting on the French frontier.
Mr.. Roper is Of the impression that
the Canadian regiment of which he is
a member, will participate in a num-
ber of battles in the near future.

BRITISH MERCHANTS ARE

LONDON, March 25.-The maxi
mum fine of $3.50 and costs has been
imposed on a firm of Manchester cigar
dealers for exhibiting in their window
an East Indian knife with a card
stating: Genuine War Trophy:
Poisoned throwing knife, kukri, now
being used by the Ghurkas with great
success against the Germans"
The court ruled that "this is a pub
lie representation that one of His
Majesty's regiments is using poison
ed weapons. It is a most serious
charge. Not a single regiment would
dream of doing such a thing"
The cigar dealers said that they had
made the mistake in good faith, hav-
ing been informed by the seller Of the
trophy that the Indians used poisoned
weapons.

ART C0UTlREIS
T0BESUSPENDED

Art Couture, star first baseman of
the Virginia baseball team last seas
on, will be suspended. That is the
decision reached by the owners of the
Virginia baseball team this morning
upon receipt of a letter from Cou~
ture in which he said he would be
unable to join the Ore Diggers until
the first of June. Couture is taking
the course in agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin. He says he
can not get his credits and join the Ore
Diggers at the beginning of the seas
on. Ed Finch, one of the owners of
the Virginians, made no attempt to
conceal his disappointment at Cou-
ture's ultimatum this morning.
"There is nothing for US to do,'
said Mr.. Finch, Except to outlaw
Couture. He knew when the season
was to open and he knew the obliga.
tions he was under to the Virginia
club. We shall undoubtedly sign a
first baseman from Terre Haute, Ind.
to take his place."

service in case that country joins the
allies against Germany and Austria.
This morning Attilio Castigliano
paid a visit to the prominent Italians
at Eveleth, which he said was purely
social.
Mr.. Castigliano leaves this evening
for Eveleth where he will spend two
days as the guest Of Martin Ciagne.
A report from Eveleth was that there

sul's visit to the Range and the
opinion generally voiced there among
the Italians is that he is here to as
certain the sentiment with regard to
Italy entering the war.
