Yesterdays weather bulletin shows n
rise of temperature at all but one of the
twenty stations heard from, and ut this
one it was stationary. The average state
was sixty seven degrees above zero, which
was an increase of twenty over the previous
report. The highest temperature was
seventy-nine at Dodge City, and the lowest
was thirty-seven at Bismarck. Rain was
reported only from Lacrosse and measured
but two one hundredths of an inch; no
snow fall anywhere, Wind, blowing at an
average rate Of twenty five miles per hour,
was reported from Cairo, Davenport,
Leavenworth and ST. Louis.
The state OF Illinois has had three cap
i,alS. The first was Kaskaskia, at the
mouth of the Ekaw river, which was es-
| tsblished as the provincial headquarters
as early as 1888, and continued the territor-
ial capital until 1910, when By an act of
the general assembly the present site Of
Vsndalia, then Wilderness was selected,
and statc-house and other necessary build
ings constructed, at a cost Of about $50, 900.
On Feb, 90, 1887, the capital was removed
to Springfield, and 100000 used in erect
ing Necessary buildings, which have since
been abandoned for the stately structure,
costing millions, which is YET uncompleted.
During the twenty-four hours ending
st one o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Ohio
r.TeF fell seven inches at this point. At
that hour it stood at fOrty-one feet eight
Inches on the guage;at six O'clock it stood

same period of time the rivers moved as
follows at points above here: Chattanooga,
fall Of tour inches; Nashville, on astand;.
Cincinnati, rise OF FIVE inches; Louisville,
rise of one foot nine inches; St. Louis, on a
stand. There appears to be no reason to
retract the predictions heretofore made in
these columns, to the effect that the Gin
cinnat aud Louisville rises will not ma
teTislly affect the river here.

such as was given to Mayor Thistewood at
The Halliday last night, is certainly a
