The appearance of Venus in the heavens during the brilliatcy of. a noon-day sun created considerable ex/citement on the streets this morning. . Groups of curious people raised their . eyes to the suuth, half way up to the meridian, searching for the strange sight. It was plainly discernible even without the use of smoked glass or telescopes. All manner of speculations were indulged in by persons who noticed the crowds of people scanning the skies, Facetious references were’ made to the wonderful air-ship discovered two years ago by the Call, and it was said that that mysterious visitor had reappeared once more to vindicate its reputation and refute the slander that its existence was a myth. Others suggested that Mother Woodworth’s prophecy about the end of the world. was coming to pass. This. suggestion was linked with another, with a pretty. mas, 1898, was being signalized by the same event which announced the birth of the Ohrist child twenty centuries since in far off Bethlehem.

The State will be short that much and these same counties will be called upon to pay right back into the State treasury the amount they get plus the amount the attorneys get This is certainly a very shrewd financialjoperation. Nobody can blame tle attorneys. Each county that gets five hundred dollars will have to~ pay a. thousand into the State treasury next year. Awfully shrewd! Almost cute! If the suit is decided in favor of the counties the half dozen that are not in the combine will get the full amount, but will have to pay it right back in the shape of increased taxes.
