Few people of town were wakeful
enough on Thursday night last to see
the eclipse of the moon. Anybody
knows that it was caused by the sha-
dow of this giddy old earth falling up-
on the tnoon, that is, the sun, earth
and moon were directly in line. Short-
ly before one o'clock the eclipse began,
At 3.30 the moon was hidden, At 5.40
the phenomenon was ended. Fewer
still were the number who,saw the
finish.
DeAlva's College Girls and Sulliyan's
Concert Company, who recently com-
bined forces, opened au engagement
in the Opera House here on Thursday
night of last week. The company is
making'a tour of Ontario for the pur-
pose of advertising the Irish Profess-
or's famous remedies, consequently
only a small admission fee is charged
the first few nights. The 'company is
above the average in their entertain-
ments and are pleasing their audiences
every evening. They put on a differ-
ent program every night of clean,
wholesome and highly entertaining
performance. The Irish Oomeclian is
particularly good in all his numbers
and evokes roars of laughter at his
every appearance. The various musi-
cal selections are highly entertaining,
particularly those of the bell ringing
wbich brought forth continued and
loud applause. The dog show is au
in terestingfeature and is watched with
a great deal of interest. The per-
formances wind up with a laughable
farce comedy of well . directed talent.
The out -door selections by the Lady
Band are listened to with much pleas-
ure.
Carnival
The Masquerade and racing carnival
on Monday night was a success. A
large number were present as spectat-
ors, ordinary skaters and competitors
in costumes. The costumes were many
and varied, and at times the judges
had difficulty in determining to whom
prizes should be given. The following
are the contests and the names 'of the
winners: Best Lady's Comic character,
Miss L. Huston; best Gentleman's Com-
ic-cha.acter, Victor Sanders; best Fan-
cy Dressed Gentleman, Frank Weeks;
best Country Couple, Miss M. Walters
and Fred Walters; best Local take off,

Hicks' Forecasts for February.
A regular storm period falls on the
20 having its center ou the 17th. A
look at the storm diagram for Febru-
ary shows that Earth's Vernal equinox
and a combine disturbances of Mercury
and Ven us, all unite in their perturbing
influences at this period. There is.
every reason to believe that some of
the hardest storms, and most severe
weather for the winter, will set in at
this period and continue, with little
intermissions, for the remainder of
Februray and into March. Change to
rising barometer and colder will follow
up the storms from the northwest,
but storminess and rough, threatening
weather will continue, blending the
storm periods intoaprolouged spell of
stormy, disagreeable weather.
Answer 'Chis?
Those who buy from cat4ogue
houses in the cities will be interested
in the following: When your cata-
logue comes from the mail order house
wait until you get home before remov-
ing the wrapper; then wait until after
supper, when the chores are done,
draw an easy chair to the table where
the light will shine full on the page,
put on your glasses so that no bar-
gains may escape your eye, and settle
down for an hour of quite enjoyment.
What a wonderful book it is, to be
sure—wonderful in what it does not
contain as well as in what it does.
We miss some things we should be
glad to see. Where is their offer to
pay cash or exchange goods for your
butter, eggs, hay and grain? How
much do they pay for cattle sheep and
hogs? How much taxes will they pay
for improving roads and bridges, for
the support of the poor of the country,
for the expenses of running the busi-
ness of the town and country? On
what page is their offer to contribute
money or services in the establishment
and maintenance of a church or Sun-
day school for the improvement of the
moral tone of your community? What
line of credit will they extend to you
when your crops are poor and money
gone, when through illness or misfor-
tune you are not able to send them
cash with order for your hardware,
dry goods, etc.? Where is their offer
to contribute to any demonstration on
a holiday? In what department do
they explain to you the increased val-
ue of your property as a result of trad-
ing with them? TfMin the catalogue
you find these questions answered to
your entire satisfaction, bring these.
answers in and most town merchants
will turn to farming and let the towns
go to grass. Under such conditions
no town is needed further than to furn
ish a rail way station, express ot%ce and
postoftice, all of which night be cov-
ered with one roof. If you buy of cater
logne houses think over the above ser-
iously.
This applies to all classes of people.
There are some merchants and others
in town,who, wben they want a little
printing done, send to a city office for
it, and get nothing better than can be
turned out in their own otilcee. At the
same time they expect the local papers
to be puffing up, their business and the
town generally in &thousand different
ways.
