One of the quintette OF baby elk
in the City park was drowned in the
mill ditch which flows through the
enclosure Monday night. The little
fellow was only about day old and
in attempting to follow its mother
across the ditch was swept OF its

The four remaining elklets, all OF
which are in the earlier days Of their
babyhood. are growing nicely and give
promise of vigorous maturity.
A bunch of men under Street Com
missioner Tom Parker this morning

along the east bank of the mill ditch
for the purpose Of dividing the elk en-.

According to astrology this is a
fairlrn fnrrnr.nhIn dnrr Mnrc,1,.,r Men

According to astrology this is a
fairly favorable day Mercury, Nep-
tune and Venus all rule strongly for
good, while Mars is adverse.
1t should be a fortunate rule for
love affairs. Again the seers give
warning of an excess of sentimental
ity and romanticism, which win cause
many elder persons to be as foolish
as the young.
Women should be particularly cir
cumspect during the new year, for
the stars incline toward suscepti-
bility and coquetry. Scandals in
high places are indicated.
Engagements entered into today
are subject TO a fortunate govern
ment of the stars.
Ministers, scholars and writer's
should benefit from the sway of the
planets today.
It is prophesied that preacher of
radical views will win fame through
play or novel that viii touch all
classes of men and women.
Mars is read as forecasting a grad
ual gathering of troubles in political
circles. Descriptions of party ties are
foretold.
There is a prophecy that member
of congress will cause a sensation
next month, which viii be a time of
tense strain in Washington.
High winds are indicated for the
end of the month when the Panama
canal viii again be damaged. There
will be severe storms in many parts
of the United States after the new
moon.
Visits from military or senni-mili-
tary bodies belonging to foreign
countries are prognosticated. War
sentiments win be more and more
pronounced in the United States.
Serious fires again are prognosti-
Gated, and one in a place of amuse-
ment will cause loss of life.
The seers foretell that the new
year will bring to the front in both
Canada and the United States many

new public men, and deaths among
the famous viii be numerous.
Fraud in connection with govern
ment revenues is again predicted. A
man of far-reaching influence and
high station may be discredited.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should not speculate or spend money
foolishly. They should be especially
careful TO avoid litigation.
Children born on this day may be
quick-tempered and difficult to please.
Boys are likely to have many ups and
downs in business. Girls should be
guarded against unfortunate mar
riage.

a college, several factories, flour mills,
railways, interurbans and her lately
acquired Masonic home, Franklin feels
that she is not town to be passed
lightly by, in fact, she knows her i'm
