Our Winter.

The winter of 1912 has passed into his
tory. Last Saturday the sun reached the
vernal equinox and spring began. The chief
thing of interest about the season has been
the marked absence of snow and the contin-
uous warm weather. Less than two weeks
of good shedding in this vicinity has given
comparatively little opportunity for the usua
numbering and wood hauling. The total fal
of snow has not beeen far from three feet,
while the average is nearly six taking one
year with another. Warm rains and plenti-
full mud have prevailed, giving us an almost
English winter in its chief characteristics
As result there is large amount of both
lumber and wood to come in on wheels.
AS if in mockery, the day that spring be-
gan was the worst of the winter to be out.
Snow fell in small quantity and piled in drifts
and the cutting March wind made man and
beast cover before it. This all shows that
New England weather is as tickle as ever and
that spring is not here even if the almanac
does say so.

To Appear at the Opera House, wednesday
Evening, March 80.
Regarding ga Barrel of Money" the sensa-
tional comedy drama which will be produced
at the Opera House. Wednesday, March 80.
the Omaha Daily Bee speaks as follows
"Despte the rain last evening a large aud
fence assembled to witness the performance
of II. ID. Stairs new American character
comedy, "A Barrel of Money!. Every per-
son in the theatre expressed delight by liber-
al applause and by favorable comment. The
comedy is strong and well balanced and the
performance went as smooth as possible.
The iron mill scene, introducing steam en-
CINE with machinery in full operation pre-
scented at the third act one of the most thrill
ing effects ever seen upon the stage here.
The machinery is stopped just in time to save
the life of young girl being borne to a GER
tain death on one of the large belts.
Aside from its thrilling element ga Barrel of
Money" presents eleven or twelve distinct
types of character, the laughable and original
comedy complications following one another
in rapid succession, yet being spiced with in
tense human interest and degree of proba-
biity foreign to farce comedy" There will
be plenty of new music and specialties intro
duced by the company including several gems
from Ed Harrigan's new play, 1.-THE Last of
the Hogans."

that the Red Men would have an exemplifi-

here this afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff P. NJ. Baily, Junius
Bailey, H. B. Benger and
Thomas Games, while resisting

whom he is terribly jealous, and
he imagined that every person
who spoke to her was trying TO
win her affections, and for the
past day or two he had been
threatening to kill the first per-
son who spoke to her. This
morning he attacked another
negro by the name of George
Humphrey, and drew his pistol
on him, and threatened to kill
him. Humphrey swore out q
warrant for Eaton's arrest, and
Deputy Sheriff P. NJ Baily weni
to serve it. Eaton met Mr..
Baily at the door with a pistol,
and threatened to kill him OF
any other person who tried t
arrest him, AMI said that hi
never expected to be taken
alive. Mr.. Bailey then returned
to the court house, and sum

A BAD COMBINE.
The Cause of Prohibition Has
Some Caste---A Union Det-
rimpnfal

The Cause of Prohibition Has
Some Caste---A Union Det-
rimental.
We see it stated in some of
our exchanges that there is to
be a combination of the Third
party and Prohibitionists.
We are sorry to anticipate
such an alliance. The prohibi-
tionists represent a good cause,
and most men engaged in that
field are good men, but in error,
according to our way of think
ing, and we do not wish to see a
combination formed that would
destroy their prospects forever
The Third party is ofpoor par
entage and not calculated to
ever become any greater than it
now is and a combine with il
can only drag those who COM
bine. down to its level.
If the force now engaged IN
the cause of Prohibition would
direct their efforts in the cause
of evangelizing the world, in a
few years the great evil that
now confronts them would be
noticeably on the wane.
Let all go to work and create
by practicing what we preach
a public sentiment against thi:
monster evil.
1t will never do to place a mi
nority, who are fighting for
good cause, in union with {
majority who are opposed Il
that cause. Such a procedure
is an lmp0sslOltity.
There is but one law that vii
bring about the desired end, ant
that is: "The law of the Lord
which is "perfect, converting
the soul"
The church lis already to,
much of an ally for the world
Let her ministers go to worl
with an eye to the conversion
of the world, and if they vii
unite their forces in this line, il
a few years they will see tn
enemy fall dead at their feet.

A. sad aud Fatal Accident.


News and Observer.
A terrible and fatal accident
happened to alittle boy ON North
Bleunt street about z O'Clock
yesterday morning.
John w. Hayes, son Of z. w.
Hayes, aged . years, was in the
company of an elder brother,
who was on his rounds as a car
rier of one of the morning pa.
pers. Passing the corner Of
Blount and North streets the
little fellow noticed a wire lying
on the sidewalk in front Of the
residence of DIR Hawkins, on
the North street side. He st0OD-
ed down and took hold of the
wire. probably for the purpose
Of endeayoring 10 remove the
obstruction, when he received a
terrible shock fr0mwhich he fell
back and almost Immediately
expired. The elder brother, in
attempting to release him, also
received a slight shock. The
unfortunate little boy was TAX.
en- TO the residence Of his par.
ents, ON North Person street,
and eveiy effort made to re
suscitate him with no effect.
He had died from the first
shock. He was q bright little
fellow, and the accident was
indeed q sad and deplorable one.
Il seems that what he picked
up was a guy wire Of the
Electric Light and Gas Com
pany, which was broken down
by the storm the night before.
This guy wire was connected at
the pole with another guy wire
Of the same company, which
during the storm had come in
contact with a feed wire Of the
Street Railway Company, and
the little boy standing ON the
ground received a shock which
proved fatal.
When his hand was with diff
ficulty loosened from IL death
grip upon the wire, IL was found
TO be badly burned inside.

termination to make a personal

Weaver is cranky but we feel
that he is a man of too much
