IRL n. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET

IRL II. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET
The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1891 of Rev. Irl II. Hicks of
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
JANUARY.
The cold prevailing in most parts at
the end Of 1890 will begin to moderate
IN the west about Jan. Cd, and during
the Sd and 4th the warmer tempera-
ture will travel to the east, resulting
in reactionary gusts of rain and snow.
The Sd is the central day. Cold will
follow the storms. A warm wave
will start about the 9th, attended by
ihawing, and ending IN energetic rain,
snow, and wind storms about the 9th,
10th, 1lth. Be watchful of cold to
follow up to change of temperature.
about 10Th and 18th, with more falling
weather on those days. The 10Th is
the center of the next period. Expect
the cold to begin moderating in the
west about the 10Th, gathering up rain
and snow storms toward the east dur
ing Goth, Dist, ODD. The regular rush
of cold will press the rear of these
storms, calling for care IN exposed
places. The 18th is the center Of re-
taxation movements, which will touch
tho 25th and 9th in their course from
west to east. The month will end
with active storms brewing.

There is no such disease as cows

less. When the cow does not relnasti-
cate her food it is sign that she is

This is better than any medicine.

TO OUR EXCHANGES and
to ADVERTISING AGENTS.

The advertising for the GREAT WEST
has, until a month past, been in
the hands of j. L. Stack & Co., a
firm who have undertaken to do
business at Saint Paul The en-
tire advertising interest excepting
Alliance advertising, was sold to
them for a guarantee amount each
month. 1t is a method which most
city journals adopt because OF the
fact that so much advertising is un-
der the control of the agencies.
Stack & Co. are no longer in con-
troll Of our adyertising-and it is
necessary for us to let the advertis-
ing world know that we will hence
forth run. our own advertising and
receive orders from individual parties
and other agencies. 1t is also neces-
sary for us to let advertisers whose
ads. were suddenly dropped know
why it was done. The statement is
made not because of any malice to
the firm of J. L. Stack & Co.. but be-
cause publicity is a necessary factor
in such business. We simply failed to
collect our bills OF the firm.
We do not know that J. L. Stack
& Co. are unable to meet their bills.
They did state that they couldn't
meet our bill because funds were over
drawn. But every journal must pro-
tect itself in such matters, and the
step was taken on that account.
Again, we state that we have no
malice for this firm-and hope they
will be able to "catch up," but as
every journal knows, our business is
"public" to let the above state
ment remain unpublished would be
destroy our advertising patronage.

states his wife was located in Chicgo She
quilted the hotel three weeks ago and just
a few minutes after her husband arrived.
In desperation his wife concealed herself
