The EQUNoCTIAL.-Our citizens thought
the cold weather Of the past week particularly
severe, and some Of the older citizens told us
that It was the coolest they ever knew in this
country in the month of March of any year,
but, from the reports we get from other quar-
tiers, we have reason to think that the worst Of
the storm did not touch Us. The storm was
more severe In its duration than in its violence.
As the wind continued TO blow from the same
direction during the five days it blew, we have
pleasant weather again, and we trust it has
"blowed ouf' all the storm from that quarter
that there Is to blow, and that the usual equi-
noctial storm for this year, though little pre-
mature, Is played"

The o. p. is brilliant this week. Several
friends came TO the rescue, and there are tI0o
original items in the editorial department. We
are glad to see the Tribune apologizing for re-
sorting to the ''habit" which sis too common
among newspaper editors of abusing each
other. No doubt but the editor is ashamed OF
his unmanly and would-be witty attempts
over articles in this paper which he "hasn't the
ability to answer"

We had a call this morning from Geo. Leis,

Used in THE NEWS, and we take pleasure in
recommending them to our readers. Our drug
gists keep them. They are made in our own
State by gentleman who has grown up in
business here, commencing only few years
ago a clerk in drug store. We desire to
see his energy and ability rewarded by the
people of Kansas. When you buy condition
powders, try those made by Geo. Leis.

Some pretty thoughts we had about the
spring, the birds and the blossoms, and so forth,
have been set back slightly by the winter
which came down upon us the past week; and
If they should sometime bloom out into words,
it will probably be when there Is dearth, as
there is ut present, of good local items.

Owing to an extra large demand upon our
stock Of news paper, this week, and the failure
of paper ordered to arrive at the expected
time we were obliged to delay the printing Of
the first side Of this issue, and consequently
day. Our readers will be able to realize more
fully from this fact the resources OF The NEWS
office in the way Of material, when we inform
them that, in addition to the type standing al
one time for the four large pages Of this paper,
there is pamphlet of twelve pages, two
pamphlets of eight pages each, twenty-foul
pages of the Educational Journal, and FORT
columns of land lists and other matter belong
ing TO the three real estate papers of II. Z. Nor
ton & Co., E p. Bancroft, and Bachelor 4
Frederick, AMI there is still plenty Of type in
the cases to meet any possible demand.

Eldorado can stand the high priced land If
Emporia can stand the smallpox Walnut
Valley Times.
Emporia had one case of the smallpox some
three or four weeks ago. The editor Of the
Times is behind the times. By the way, has
the Times behind the times heard of a good
joke on an Eldorado Doctor? He was coming
to Emporia, and had reached the head waters
of the Nerdigris. Some one told him that the
people here were dying at the rate of ten per
day with that loathsome disease, smallpox.
The Times editors ought to have witnessed the
sight that followed. The DR.. made a bee line
back to Eldorado, at such a rate of speed that
you could have played marbles on his coat
tails. We infer from the above extract that he
never stopped until he rushed frantieally inte
the Times office to give the editors the --latest
news

FIRE.-The house off. w. Morgan, 4 farmer,
four miles north Of Plymouth, was destroyed
by fire on Sunday night last, with all the goods,
wearing apparel and household stores of the
family, except the clothing on their persons.
Mr.. Morgan, his wife and two children had
gone TO meeting, leaving seven small children
at home. The house took fire after the chill
dren went TO bed, and were asleep. They
would doubtless have persisted in the flames
but for the discharge Of gun by the fire, the
report of which awoke the children in time TO
enable them to escape in their night clothes
from the burning building. The night was
terribly cold, and the children were left bare
footed and without shelter or clothing half
mile from any house. A neighboring farmer
sesing the flames, fastened TO the spot and
took the children to his house, blue with the
cold. Articles of clothing, money and othor
necessaries for their relief have been contrib
uted by neighbors and citizens Of the town and
country.

ANOTHER FIRE.-Yesterday we happened
to be conveniently near when the roof of Mr..
ID. Clark's kitchen took fire from the stove pipe.
Water and men were ut hand, and the fire was
put out with but little damage. We came out
covered with as much glory as our Kansas
Congressman, but it brushed off quite easily.
