Geo. H. Healey, of Beaver, I. T., is
in the city. He informs us that about
so per cent. Of through cattle were
lost in the late storms. The loss of
''wintered' cattle is only about per
cent He says that there are about as
many dead cattle on the range as there
were in January last year. The loss
in the east end of the Neutral Strip is
about 5 per cent. Any more severe
weather will make the cattle losses still
heavier.

The ice gorge last week threatened
the bridge across the river at this point.
We believe that it would be good plan
to extend the limits of the bridge so as
to make a double crossing. This could
be done at an expense Of not more than
$4,000, and besides the additional piers
on the west side would greatly strength
en- the bridge.

A Statement Corrected.

An Associate Press dispatch says
that minister at Dodge City has writ
ten to a gentleman at Leavenworth that
100 persons lost their lives and that
100, 600 cattle persisted, all within a
radious of 100 miles Of Dodge City.
The above was shown to G. G. Cou-
tant, one of the editors Of the Daily
Sentinel of Garden City, who said:
THE storm was very severe but the man
who makes such statements certainly
knows nothing about the facts. The
loss of life within the radius mentioned
has been carefully compiled and so far
the list has only reached sixteen within
the territory Of one hundred by one
hundred and fifty miles, and in the same
territory, the loss in cattle, while it has
been very great, it is not the quarter Of
the number mentioned by this minister.
l am personally acquainted with large
number of the cattlemen of that Sec
ton, and have seen many of them since
the storm, and they tell me that cattle
drifted in many instances safely for
hundreds of miles and came through all
right or with only slight loss. AS a
rule the heavy losses occurred against
the wire fences or on the smooth ice.
When all the figures are in, it Is be-
lieved that they will show that the loss
is not more than twenty per cent. 1t
is time for even ministers to get down
to facts, and drop the sensational, in re-
gard to the great storm Of western Kan
sas-Topeka Capital.
No minister in Dodge City ever made
such an outrageous statement. We be-
lieve Mr.. Coutant states the case cor
rectly.

About February weather Professor

About February weather Professor
Blake said: February will bea very
stormy month taken as whole; and
during the change from cold wintry
weather to rainy spnng weather there
will be violent conflict between the
elements, resulting in heterogeneous
mixture Of rain, snow. sleet and hail,
with the rain gradually advancing and
gaining the mastery over the snow.
These rains and melting SHOWS during
the latter part of February will result
in extensive foods, which will probably
do the most damage in the following
month of March. have not yet fgur-
ed the minutes details, but speaking
generally next March will come in like
a lamb with vigorous growing weather
and very early spring.
w. F. Foster, meteorologist, says:
About February 18th or Goth will COM
mence one of the greatest storm peri
DDS of the year 1886. The heaviest of
these storms will pass the Chicago
meridian about February 26th and
March 4th, 10th and 10th, with COM
parative period of quiet between these
dates. These storms will include hea-
w rains, SHOWS, slects, wind gales and
tornadoes. East of Chicago the storms
will occur day or two later, and west
a day or two earlier than the dates l
have given. Billiards will follow at
ter some of these storms.
