Mr.. Parsons letter gives yer,
fair idea of the work of the Legisla
ture during the week. Since it wa!
written a joint resolution has passed
both houses to permit the people t.
vote on the proposition to call con
stitutional convention at the genera
election, and numerous minor and 10
cal bills have been passed. The Leg
islature will probably adjourn Sat
urday.
The Building and Loan Association
will probably open new series abou
the first of May, especially for the
benefit of Moran people who wish t.
become members. The Association
has proven to be great success
those desiring to borrow money as
well as those having money TO invest
finding it profitable to hold stock
The new series should be disposed o.
without difficulty.

quet was spread. Numerous presents
attested the esteem in which both
bride and groom are held, and taken
all in all the occasion was a very
happy one.
We wonder how many of our read
ers would say off hand that this winter
has been colder than last winter was2
Very few, we venture to say, and yet
such is the fact. Mr.. A. l.. Dibble,
who has noted the temperature every
morning att o'clock for many years
past, showed us his record Tuesday
and from it we observe that the aver
age temperature during the winter OF
$3.50 was 1907 degrees, while the
average temperature during the win
ter just ended was 200 degrees-a
difference of nearly 6 degrees in favor
of last winter. The mercury went
lower last year, reaching zero twice
February % and January l6-while
this year the lowest point reached
was degrees above zero-February 3.
But there were great many more
warm mornings last winter than
there were this.
Prof. Snow reports the past Febru-
airy as 1.-THE coolest month of the
winter, and one of the eight coolest
Februaries of our "a years record.
The mercury however did not fall be-
low the zero point during the month
nor during the entire winter. There
have been but two previous winters
in which the zero point was not
reached-the winters of 1S77-7S and
1SSl-S2. In mean temperature seven
OF the past twenty-three winters have
been colder and sixteen have been
warmer than the winter now closed.
Maple trees were in blossom along
the streets of Lawrence on the Odd of
February. The rainfall, including
melted snow, was fully fifty per cent
above the February average.
The mean temperature was 29.40
degrees, which is 2.49 deg. below the
February average. The highest tenn
was 6S degrees on the 18th: the lowest
was l degree above zero on the 18th,
giving a range of 81 deg.
There seems to have been good
deal of a boom in the matrimonial
market during February, more mar
rage licenses having been issued dur
ing that month than during any SINH
lar period for several years Here is
