Jake after he had set ap his little wealth

the wind blew yesterday, what II
would do Ia the remainder Of the week.
This was DOT very easy ia a country
where cyclones had been known t.
grow - full maturity in fifteen min
uutes- Jake had been a fair sort of
2uesser at the weather from the cob-
his rheUmatic shoulder, but he now
felt that science and his neighbors re-
quired something more accurate of him.
OF course. this made PATTERSON all the
more enraged against Jake, and led
him 10 think of novel plans OF getting
square. As a preliminary he investi-
gated the apparatus by the aid Of a
lantern one night after Jake had gone
% bed. He discovered that by holding
his lantern under the bulb OF the Their
moneter he could secure report on the
temperature of that region which would
be sure 10 excite interest when il should
be forwarded to the chief observer OF
the state. The next thing he brought
a powerful bellows and a can of water.
Next morning Jake took from his in
strumentsa temperature of los degrees, a
rainfall of three inches and a maximum
wind velocity of fifty miles an hour,
although the previous night had been
calm, cloudless and mild. Following
this he plugged the thermometer so that
it would not go, and it recorded no wind
~ all, although several trees had been
blown down during the night. Jake
regarded some OF these phenomena Is
curious. but he was too good a scientist

Then Old Man patterson caught
eleven small toads and put them into

The state weather observSr wrote TO
Jake after this, and recommended that
he change his drink or take the pledge

STERLING NOTES.

STERLING, kau., Feb. Especial +
John Van Patten, who committed suicide
in Topeka a few days ago, was brother
of Dr. VI. Van Patten Of this city, and was
a former resident, being u justice of the
peace and well to do. His death was Il
surprise to his old friends and neighbors.
There are several cases Of scarlet fever
here, but the board of health has taken
measures TO quarantine afflicted families,
aud no bad results are apprehended. The
fever is in mild form.
The manager of our opera house has at
last succeeded in securing some excellent
performances for this community The
Goldens were here last week, and Monday
next John Dillou appears The "Clemen-

would like to know why 1t is that dra-
matte company can fill the hall at 75 and
50 cents per head, when the I. Al. G, a.
and other societies who engage talent of
equal (better, to my thinking) merit, are
forced to dip into their reserve funds TO
pay expenses. Can it be that our good
people are degenerating?
Already the hum of local politics Is agi-
tating the air, and the 'outs" aud the
ins' are quietly counting noses for the
coming city election, which bids fair TO be
the hottest and most bitterly contested in
the history of the city.
A splendid rain fell here Wednesday
night, which was general throughout the
county. The farmers are jubiiaut, and
is not in it. The acreage is twice
that of last year.
Revival meetings are being held nightly

DUNiS REVIEW.


New YORK, Feb. 5-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says:
In spite of much dullness and COM
plant in some important branches trade
is gradually charging The east does not
get the full benefit, because western buSI-
ness is largely met by western distribut-
ing centers, and that alone is increasing
heavily, while southern trade, which is
more largely met by distribution from the
east. is unusually dull. But the west is
steadily increasing the orders for manu-
factured products, and is likely to buy
more largely in the next five months than
ever before. Eastern consumption is also
fairly up to the maximum. AS labor is
well employed, the stringency at the
south, owing to the overproduction of
cotton and hurtful speculation in the past,
is at present the only force retarding the
general improvement. The exports of
merchandise continue to greatly exceed
last years for the five months at New
York about IS per cent?, while, in value,
the increase in imports Is very slight. Re-
ports of business from other cities are a
shade more favorable.
''Speculation in products has been active;
but, in spite of the abundance of money,
the tendency of prices is lower. Wheat
fell to g935 cents per bushel, recovered
over ! cent, but is still ! cent lower than a
week ago. Western receipts diminish but
exports diminish still more. Corn closed
only an eighth of cent higher and oats
are - of cent higher, but pork products
are a shade lower Cotton is a sixteenth
lower, and February has sold below
cents, the receipts continuing to be enor-
nous. Oil has fallen cents. but coffee is
a fraction stronger In lead the trade is
moderate, aud III thu tame and without
change; but copper is weaker Silver has
also fallen to about the lowest price ever

1t now transpires that Mrs. Osborne was
at Irun, a town of Spain, in Cuipuzcca.
near the frontier of Spain. At the time OF
her flight 1t was stated that to stand trial
on the charge against her would result in
her death. This was given as one of the
reasons for her fleeing the country.
Captain Osborne, her husband, started
for Spain for the purpose of escorting his
wife back to London. A member OF the
house OF commons, who is ii friend of Cap
tain Osborne, was party TO Mrs. Us
borne's escape from the police. He ac-
companied her to Paris at the time of her
flight, whence she subsequently made her
way to Irun. The police at Dover were
instructed TO arrest her should she at
tempt to board a steamer there for France,
but it is believed that she crossed the
channel to the continent before the war
rant for her arrest was actually issued.

THE VALPARAISO SENTENCES.

VALPARAISO, Feb. 5-Judge of Crimes
Foster yesterday passed sentence in the
long pending and much discussed Balti-
more assault case of October 10, 1891. His
sentence is subject to review by the court
of appeals. Tie document covers $50
pages. and goes over again all the evidence
against the accused and compares it closely
with the evidence presented by the prison
ers. The finding Of the court IS as fol-
lows: Carlos Arena, alias Gomez is SEN
tence to $40 days imprisonment for
wounding William Turubull, the coal
HEAVIER of the Baltimore, who died of his
injuries; 800 days for public disorder.
80 days for carrying knife, and 20 days
for giving an assumed name. This makes
a total of 920 days.
Jose Ahumada is sentenced to 800 days
Imprisonment for injuring Turnbull
FREDERICK Rodriguez Is sentenced to 140
days Imprisonment for wounding boat
swain's mate Charles Riggn, the muir
dered seaman; also for public disorder and
for carrying knife. 1t is held by Judge
Foster that the evidence does not show
that Rodriguez killed Riggin. On the
contrary, it is claimed that Higgins death
was caused by a shot fired by some I'M
known person. Gomez and Rodriguez
under the Chiiian penal code must pay
the families of Turnbull and Riggin dam
ages. These damages are recoverable by
civil suit.

First-They are purely vegetable, in
fact a medicated food
Second-The same dose always produces
the same effect-other purgatives require

Third-They purify the blood.
Fourth They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
Secretions.
The fist two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eyes
bright, the mind active, digestion is restor-

GERMAN ARMv RRrITkIlTY

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The order issued by
Prince George of Saxony, an inspector
general of the German army and com
mander of the Twelfth army corps, calling
upon the officers Of that corps TO stop the
iuhuman treatment practiced upon the
prlvates by non-co missloned officers, Is
very likely TO result in an amelioration of
the condition of the privates OF the whole
army, and to free them from the brutal
tyranny of the iow-grade officers. The
matter was discussed today by the budget
committee of the reichstag. and it was re-
solved TO favor greater publicity in the
proceedings of military tribunals and of
the punishments ordered by these courts
The committee also resolved TO favor a
measure that would afford the soldiers
greater facilities for revealing their griev-
