The Rain of Blood Explained.

The "Rain of Blood,' curious
phenomenon of south France and
Italy, occurred recently at Monte
Carlo and Mentone. After the down
pour ceased the roofs, roads, gardens
and shrubs of the Riviera were COW
cred with sticky crimson. The super
stitious inhabitants of the gambling
metropolis were much terrified. There
is. however, scientific explanation
which is perfectly satisfactory. 1t IS
that the rain clouds had been saturat-
ed with red sand from the Sahara
desert.

War Against the Wild Boar.

A systematic warfare is about to
be waged in France against the wild
boars of that country. These have
been hunted, in a way, from time i'm
memorial but not with sufficient &C
tivity to exterminate them. The
beasts are very savage and they are
source of trouble all the time, in
vading the farms and stealing the
cattle and fowls. The government
has taken the matter in hand and the
savage beasts are to be driven into
the western outposts.

Citizens Meeting

A meeting of the citizens of Shell
ley was held Tuesday evening, June
IA in the Ensign hall. The meeting
was called by the chairman OF a
committee appointed to look into the
matter of the proposed occupation
tax. The committee consisting OF
John l. Dean, F. M. Davis, Mrs. Roy
Kingsbury, VS.. Wright and Lewis
C. lockwood, had gone into the mat
ter carefully and each member re-
ported on q different phase OF the
subject which they had given special
attention.
Mrs. Kingsbury reported on city
expenses and possibilities OF curtail-
ment of same, reporting that at pres
emit so far as could be ascertained,
the city council was very conserva-
tive along this line. Mr.. Wright re-
ported that the committee advised a
special levy for the purpose OF cover
ing the warrant Indebtedness rather
than an occupation tax, owing to the
fact that taxes were the natural
means supplied for raising revenue
and would naturally be more equit-
able than an occupation tax. 2
F. M. Davis reported on the occu-
patton tax and reported that the
mayor and city council had proposed
this tax as a means for raising
revenue only, and that the commit
tee felt the occupation tax should be
a protection. Mr.. lockwood re-
ported on the water situation and
proposed raising the minimum
charge for the water rent.
The subject was discussed at some
length and finally motion was made
and seconded that the committee re-
port to the city council, the citizens
wishes which were to raise the neces-
sary funds by a special tax levy OF
five mills.
