The Most Economical Stoves.

Those desiring soft coal heating
stove should examine our "Denmark"
and "Perfect" retort base heaters.
They are elegant in design and per.
feet in operation. Weguarantee that
no coal gas can form IN the stove !;
hence the great objection to burning
soft coal is done away with. They
are powerful heaters, and the judg-
ment Of J. A. Rupert and DR.. Mckay,
who have used them, is that they do
more than is claimed for them and are
the most economical OF fuel of any
stove they have ever used. We have
the "Todd," "Geld Coin" and box
wood. heaters, universal" and "Per.
fect""Base Burners" "Canon" stoves,
ETC., for coal, at prices which will Ger
tainly please our patrons. Call and
examine our stock and we will save
sou money. [sl5tf] COFFIN Bros.

Seasons FOrecasted.

A preponderance of blue in the
spectrum of twinkllng stars has been
found by Mons. Oh. Montigny, Of
Brussels, to indicate the presence Of
aqueous vapor in the air, and to be an
infallible sign Of ram, while a deGc.
iency OF blue and preponderance Of
green and violet show that the air is
in an abnormally dry state. From
such indications he predicted that 1888
would be drier year in Brussels
than those which had immediately pre-.
coded it, and his prediction was &C
curately fulfilled. Relying ON the
persistence of this same sign, he now
announces that the period of wet
years, which commenced in 1876, has
passed, and that series of finer and
drier seasons may be expected. Fur
ther results of his attempts to roughly
forecast the character of coming sea-
sons will be awaited with much inter-

MONTANDON vs.. WALKER.
The Case Decided in Favor OF the
Defendant.

The case entitled Montandon vs..
Walker was determined by the
referee, l-yttleton Price, to-day. The
decision is in favor Of the defendant.
This was suit commenced by Mr..
Montandon to reco~er 5000 from Mr..
Walker, for professional services in
the case in which Lew Walker con.
tested Frank P. Cavanah's desert en-.
try on the section of land adjoining
W. 7. Rley's entry, one mile from
HALEY. Mr.. Walker alleged that he
had paid Mr.. Montandon his fee;
while the latter claimed that only that
portion of it had been paid which
covered the services rendered before
the local Land Officers at Haley, and
that the fee for services in appealing
the case to the Commissioners of the
General Land Office and the Score.
tary Of the Interior remained unpaid.
Mr.. Price, the referee, decided that
a contract had been made for legal
services, that the said contract had
been fulfilled, and that the fee re.
ceived by the plaintiff was in full for
the services performed or rendered.
The case will probably be appealed
