A BAD MONTH.

Those of us here who have been
complaining about our bad weather
lately, can certainly get some salts
faction out of the Kansas weather
report for May, which is as follows:
1t was thought that the weather
for April had eclipsed any possible
record, but the monthly bulletin, is
sued by Chancellor Snow today,
shows that for genuine nastiness the
conditions for April are not to COM
pare to those for May.
"Tho coolest, wettest, cloudiest
and, with one exception, the wind
lest May on our record tor twenty
FIVE years." the report says, and then
adds: The total rainfall for the five
months of 1892 now completed ex-
ceeds twenty-nine inches. This is
nearly double the average, and by
far exceeds the precipitation of the
same months for any preceding year.
Although the month was so cool
there was no frost at this station,
The mean temperature was 60.04 de-
grees, which was more than 8 deg
below the May average. The rain
fall was s.5l inches, which was liza
inches above the average. 1t rained
on nineteen days of the month
There was not an entirely clear day
during the whole month, and more
than 67 per cent. of the time the sky
was completely overcast. The totaI
run of the wind during the month
was 1895 miles, mean hourly We
locity of almost twenty miles. Or
May 5 the wind reached a velocity Of
rs miles an hour.

At the territorial Republican con-

Joel McWhacker, pastor of the Free

was in the midst of an eloquent APP
peal to heaven for guidance, saying.
"Thou knowest, o Lord, that" ETC.,
at the beginning of every sentence.
when the Hon. Sam Pendleton, keeper
of the international keno rooms Of
Tucson, shouted out, "Mr. Chairman,
l rise to a point of order"
Brother McWhaeker stopped, low
cred his chin and opened his eyes.
Reverent heads were raised and
every glance turned upon the excited
delegate who had interrupted the
prayer.
