Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1888-06-20

One OF the features OF yesterdays ses-
sion was an address by General Hugh
H.. Campbell. He appeared in response
to an invitation from the visiting clergy
men. who were anxious to obtain his
views On statehood and division ques.
lions. This furnished an opportunity
for making another effort for division
and statehood which is not frequently
presented and MIR. Campbell improved
it. He pointed out to the ministers the
reasons why they should be interested,
and the methods by which they might
advance and hasten the fullest r~ealIzR-
tion OF both these benefits. He sug-
gested to the clergy the ethical portion
of the question, saying that the people
of Dakota were suffering from oppres.
sion and being deprived OF rights. OPP.
PRESTON suffered without relief cannot
fail to bring moral decay, and the eleva-
walton Of Dakota morally was the desire
of every minister. Therefore the ques-
tion of division and statehood was of
vital Importance to the clergy. The
audience listened with intense interest
and General Chmpbell seemed to have
voiced the sentiments OF all.
PROF. BLAIsDELL.
Prof. Blaisdell, of Beloit college, oe-
cupied the platform last night with q
scholarly lecture on :~'Oitizenship."
The tendency OF the discourse was to
point out the relation between true oiti-
zenship and christianity and setting
forth the oauses for such a state OF sf-
fairs. Prof. Blaisdell places citizenship
among the most precious of Gods bles-
Sings, and he believes in the alliance Of
citizenship and Gods teachings. The
lecture was of surprising interest.

LAMPAsAs, Tex, Jan. 2S.-Another biz

Reports Of the disastrous effects Of that UNI
precedented cold spell OF last week con-
tinue to arrive from distant sections sur
rounding this city. Loss Of sheep was
very heavy, owing 10 the fact that very
few ranches are provided with adequate
shelter for sheep. II is estimated that
fully 20, 900 sheep persisted in the counties
OF Lampasas, Brown, Hamilton, Coryell
and San Saba, all large wool producing
counties. Col. Charles Covington, in
Corycll county, lost 800 head Of sheep in
one flock. The Others sought the shelter
Of the woods, but this particular flock
came up near the house at shutdown and
lay down In the drilling rain. Next
morning Col. Covington concluded 10 salt
his flock. When he scattered salt on the
frozen earth TO his surprise none OF the
sheep arose, and ON examination revealed
that every one Of the large flock was frozen
stiG. Their wool clineing TO the ice had
prevented their rising when the sudden

VERY POOR GUESS WORK.
Why the Recent Signal Service
Predictions Have Missed the
Mark.

Why the Recent Signal Service
Predictions Have Missed the
Mark.
Why the signal service weather Gin
dications" for the past two weeks have
not been more correct is a question
which has puzzled New Workers of late,
but it can be easily answered. says
the New York Times. The United
States signal service has no sta
tIonS on the Atlantic ocean. For
moSphere, barometer, humidity, ETC., in
the West have been such as to cause
predictions for fair and clear weather
here in the East, but such was not to be.
1t is supposed that there was an alb
normally high pressure on the North
Atlantic, which was, of course, tIn-
known to the signal service. This
high pressure drew up cold and
moisture from the Newfoundland
coast, which was swept down upon us
IN the form OF cold, drizZling rains. For
Washington every eight hours has been
very difficult to predict from. There
must be marked contrasts in meteOroIog-
ical conditions i'll order to make correct
predictions possible, but unfortunately
during the past ten days there have not
been any. The barometer was high all
over the West, Or else it was low.
If the center Of ''lOw" had lust
passed over the east, and if the barom-
eter was rising in the west, fair and
clear weather would be predicted here.
There IS another explanation given for
the late incorrect predictions. Observa-
tions OF the atmospheric conditions,
velocity of the wind, and all the other
facts necessary for a prediction are
telegraphed to Washington from the
200 different stations throughout the
United States. There they are
examined and compared by an
officer who makes from them his pre-
dictiOns as to what the weather will be
in different places. Prof. HaZen. the
officer at Washington, has done this
work for two weeks past. He is a COM
parative novice in this line, having had,
all told, only about months expert
ence in predicting. 1t is thought
by those who know the service
that he was incompetent, and in
order to cover his inability he
guessed what the weather would
be and ran the chances of being cor
rect. The lowest minimum tempera-
years for the month of May is "a deg,
and the highest is 90 deg. The lowest
temperature for May this year is A.
deg; highest, rs deg.
The average rainfall for May during
the past seventeen years has been 293
inches. The excess of rainfall in New
York since Jan. l, compared with the
average during the past seventeen
years, is 4.54 inches. The deficiency i'm
temperature so far this year is pol deg,
equal to daily average of IA deg.
