Easter will this year come at the earliest
date it has since 1883. With the eXcep-
ton of 1864 this will be the only coming
March Easter in the present century, and
in 1895 Easter comes on March 25th,
within three days of its earliest coming

and that was the only time it has fallen at
that, its earliest date in this century. Its
latest date. April 25th, was reached only
once in this century, in 1856, and will not
occur again. There have been only
two Casters in the century falling on

It is generally conceded that we should
have some sort of an entertainment or de-
monstration to attract a crowd to our
growing city for few days this summer,
and the question arises, what shall it be?
A fremen's tournament, dog show, a
stock show and a match game of base ball
by two Of the league clubs have been sug-
gested. We would like to hear the mat
ter discussed, and offer our columns to
any citizen who may haYe any suggestions
to make. If our people will 60 to work
at once we know something can be ar
ranged to draw a crowd. We would sug-
gest that the citizens think over the mat
ter and in the near future meet in confer
ence, for some sort of entertainment dur
ing the month of July or August. The
money thus spent would be good in
Yestment.

sections small bridges were washed away,
and larger ones damaged. Rocky River,
near this city, was as high on Monday, we
are told, as it ever gets to be. The high
winds dispelled the clouds Monday and we
had sunshine until Tuesday afternoon.

raining again. The track Of the

badly dnmaged, and there were no through

done but little, if any damage to the fruit
crop, from the fact that it is not far
enough advanced to be hurt much. A
few trees are blooming, and the buds are
beginning to swell on many, but the cold
weather will only check them, and may
prove benefit instead Of an injury.

Something About Winds.

To the American, with his practi-
cal views and iconoclastic materiahsm
wind is simply an agitation of the
atmosphere. Before the advent of
steam. he ground the meal for his
daily bread with the aid of wind; he
avails himself of it yet to watt his
vessels across the seas. If it is gen.
tie, he calls it breeze; if it comes
with sudden rush, roar and whirl,
depositing his house on the next quar-
ter section, his cattle in the next
township, and makes him hunt the
cellar in hurry, he names it a cyclone
and proceeds to get himself together
again. The ancients, however, with
their tendency to "see sermons in
stones and books in running brooks,
personified all things in nature and
named the winds--Boreas, the North
wind; Eurus, the East wind; Zephhrus,
the West wind; and Notus, the South
wind. These were the sons of Astr@a
(the star-manl and Eos 1.-THE dawn.
just at this time people in the North
western are (sOme of them) dreading
the piercing blasts of Boreas and
thinking about flight to the orange
groves of Florida or California. The
line for the south bound traveller to
take is 1.-The Burlington, which has
its own tracks to Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, st. Joseph and Omaha,
where close connections are made
with the railways leading South,
