Mesdatnes W. W. Stephenson, J. W.
Wymer and D. S. Rose returned last
week from their Colorado visit. They
made headquarters at Manitou and
visited many sections of the state.
Upon the return trip they stopped off
at Denver for a visit with friends and
to see the sights in that most metro-
politan of western cities. They had
a delightful time, and thoroughly en-
joyed every phase of the trip.
Lightning struck a 1,(500 barrel oil
tank on the eighty-acre tract adjoin-
ing the townsite of Cleveland, O. T.,
early yesterday morning causing the
third disastrous fire on the same tract
of land from the same cause- Altc»
gether over 75,000 barrels of oil have
been consumed, together with four
rigs, one 50,000 barrel steel tank
twenty 250 barrel and four 1,(500 bar-
rel tanks. The damage at this time
was much less than in either of the
other fires, and none of the buildings
on the townsite was endangered.
October is going to be a reasonably
busy month for the citi/.ens of Black-
well, and there will be something
doing nearly all the month. On
Monday, the 2nd the Forepaugh-
Sells big shows are to be here. The
same week we are to have the pleas
ure of entertaining the Methodist
conference. The next week we
will have the Knights of Pythias
Grand lodge and from present indi-
cations they will all be here. The
week of the lti to 21, inclusive Is our
big fair. Blackwell has before her
an opportunity seldom afforded
town of this size and we believe she
will make good.
W. L. Frazier was in town Thurs
day and says that the Autwine
neighborhood people are going
give another picnic and will hold it
on anniversary day, Sept. 16 They
are getting out bills that may be
consulted for particulars.

She was spending her first month la
I the Latin quarter of Paris. 8ho spoke
English fluently, with a Boston accent;
also she spoke German, could make a
fair stagger at Italian and knew a few
words of Hindoostanee, but of French
not a syllable.
One morning she found herself In a
wrestling match with a bottle of
Trench shoe blacking. The pesky bot-
tle, understanding that It had to deal
with an alien, refused to give up Its
cork. She bad no corkscrew of her
own and did not know how to ask for
one, even If she dared suspect tbat her
next door neighbor might be possessed
of the luxury. The tine of her pet fork
■he had bent on the obstinate plug, the
point of her best penknife she had bro-
ken off abort, and nothing remained
except to throw the bottle out of a
window to get at IN contents. She de-
cided as a last resort to try breaking
the Deck off the bottle. With a “stove
lid IlfteP’ she administered several
cautious taps in the region **# the Jngir
lar of the obstinate neck. “Nothin'
doin’." Then she tapped haiuer otili,
and the tilackiug came. AH over her
fingers It came, all over Ivor light wool-
en skirt atul over much of the floor and
window sill.
She decided to have the skirt cleaned

off to an establishment where shs
found embarrassment because shs
Could not understand questlous. Final-
ly she got tho drift of the conversation.
The cleaners wanted to know what
had caused the spot. Fortunately a
bottle of shoe blacking was standing
near by, and she pointed at this and
“onld" and “ouid” until she left In
heightened spirits, feeling that she was
not helpless and that she had made the
cleaners understand. When the skirl
was duly returned the following week,

THK SUN’S ECLIPSE
In discussing the eclipse of the sun
on the 30th, The Scientific American
says: “Far more important Is the
solar eclipse on the 30th, which is one
of the most Interesting ones for
many years. It is a total eclipse of
pretty long duration, and the line of
central eclipse passes through sev-
eral regions which are conveniently
accessible for observing parties.
“The eclipse is total at sunrise in
Manitoba, just north of the United
States boundary. Thence the shadow
sweeps eastward across Canada
north of the settled districts, and
comes out on the Labrador coast. It
turns somewhat to the southward as
it crosses the Atlantic and reaches
land again on the Spanish coast near
Cape Finisterre. Crossing Spain the
shadows traverses the Mediterran-
ean, passes near Tunis, enters the
African desert, passes over the Nile
near Assuan, and finally bids farewell
to the earth somewere in Arabia, less
than three incurs after it began in
Canada. The duration of the total
phase is greatest in Spain, where it
is about three and three-quarter min-
utes, while it is about two and one-
half minutes in Labrador, and a litt'e
less than three minutes in Egypt.”
