ECLIPSE OF THE SUN JUNE. 8

On June 8, about 1884 o'clock in
the afternoon, the moon will begin to
pass between the sun and the earth.
The moons shadow will touch the
earth first at a point in the Pacific
ocean, south of Japan. 1t will travel
northeastward until it is about 500
miles south of Alaska, then it's course
will be southeastward.
The eclipse is total only in a mar
row strip, but it will be partial over
the whole United States. At Kansas
City 81 per cent of the suns disk will
be covered. This means that at 6:15
o'clock, Kansas City time, we will
have less than one-tenth the usual
amount of sunlight.-Prof. w. A
Luby, in Kansas City Star.

Capt. Tinsley spent 4 week in the

When he left this city, he told friends.
he would return in short time to
spend the holidays in the Cape. as he
believed he would have to wait for
some time before he could receive 4

The assignment came as a result Of
his effort to get into active service Of

his friends in the Cape that only fev,

Inspired with the desire Of serving his
country Capt. Tinsley asked to be

Charge.

The prosecution of Rich Miller. who
was arrested Monday morning in Il
Haarig rooming house at the instiga-

torney in St. Louis. Alexander has
been retained by the prisoner to de-
fend him on any charge brought
against him.

municated with the district attorney
ciiice in ST. Louis after he had been
told by several attorneys in the Cit,
that 4 federal charge could be placed
against the young man for the rea-
son that morphine tablets were found
in his possession by the druggist.
Alexander was told by Assistant.
District Attorney Woodward in St.
Louis that Only in cases where pris-
cner was proven TO have drug in his
possession for the purpose OF selling
it, could a charge for violating the
Harrison drug act be bluoght against
the prisoner. If that was not the case,
then the prisoner could he prosecuted
cnly on charge Of violating the state
law, and in this case it woulG be- lar
ceny, the seriousness of the charge
upon the va uc Of the drug,
the young man was charged with hav-
ing stolen.
Miller is still held in the city Jail.
He refuses TO tell where he obtained

blocks.
News of the breaking of the ice was
sent to all river towns south of Ste.
Genevieve by the station agent at Ste.
Genevieve. John J. Cunningham, the
night operator at the local station,
notified the owners of the factories
along the river Of the approaching ice
and warned them to remove from the
river anything that might be damaged.
According to reports brought to the
Cape this morning by passengers on
the early morning train, the ice was
caught near Wittenberg remaining
there for more than an hour. The
blocks were torn from their fasenings
again and continued down stream.
The breaking of the ice was due to
the sudden change and the continued
rising OF the temperature. The ice
blocking the river north of the city
near Cape Rock has notbeen broken
this morning, but it was believed the
momentum of the heavy blocks moving
down stream would break through at
this point at any time.
All river vessels plying between
the Cape and other points have been
taken from the river. The ferry boat

Chris Wolf Has
A Session With
Maggie TheCow
In First Attempt At Milking,
Stool Collapses And He Re-
ports Heifer's Pipes Are
Frozen.

Chris Wolf, champion chef, heavy
litter and general utility man, has at
last bumped into a snag. He doesn't
know how to milk COW.
NJ. J. Koeck, the brewer, bought 4
Jersey cow and presented it to his FAM
lily Friday afternoon as a Christmas
present. Chris Wolf was appointed
to get the milk out of the bovine.
Friends and fellow-employes gath-
cred to witness the operation. AS no
book Of instructions came with the COW,
it was up to Mr.. Wolf to figure out
what he was expected to do.
Either someone in the audience mer-
toned it or else Mr.. VOLTS intuition
told him to approach the bovine on
the right side. Maggie, which, by the
way, is the cows name, is very gen
tie female, possessing the patience #
Job.
Mr.. Koeck had employed a carpea-
ter to whittle out a stool for Chris 20
squat on while coaxing the milk from
the COW into large bucket But the
stool was constructed for a light
weight, and when it felt that it was
being imposed upon, the stool collap-
sed.
The crucial test came yesterday
morning. Mr.. Wolf announced that : e
was about TO relieve Maggie of her
butter fat, and there was a general
rukh for the etable.
After getting ID position, Mr.
