A Jolly Joke On johnson.
The Pioneer Press correspondent tells
the following good u on Congressman
Johnson: Representative Jolley of South
Dakota, is all that his name implies. AL
though he is going out Of congress on the
4th of March, he has not let up in any of
his practical jokes. The other, day, after
the counting of the electoral vote, when it
was shown that one of the North Dakota
electors had disobeyed the implied instruc-
tons of the convention which nominated
him and voted for Cleveland, JolIey found
out that the electOr was a countryman of
Representative johnson, ana the latter,
jealous OF the honor of the Norwegian
race, was ready and anxious to explain
how it all came about. Colonel Jolley went
all over the house aud sent more than a
hundred members to Johnson asking for
representative faithfully rehearsed the
whole history of the convention and the
tendency of his Norwegian friend toward
democracy even when selected as a popu-
list elector. Probably not until he reads
this will he really know that he has been
lolleyed, so to speak.
General characteristics of the Weather.
The monthly bulletin of the weather
bureau says: The weather which prevailed
during January may well be called cratic.
Although the mean temperature averaged
about 2 degrees above the normal, the
changes were so sudden and decided, and
occurred so frequently, accompanied by
many heavy snowfalls and high winds,
that its disagreeable features were keenly
felt. From the 1st to the oath. aside from
the sudden falls above mentioned, the
temperature was generally above the
normal, while from the latter date to the
close of the month there was an average
departure of minus Is degrees. One re-
markable feature out OF the ordinary was
the occurance of the maximum tempera-
ture for the day at a time not to be ex-
pected. On ten days did the highest
temperature take place between midnight
and Z a. m. The lowest mean temperature
reported was s degrees below zero, at
Woodbridge, Cavalier county, while the
highest was Is degrees above zero, at
a mean range of "a degrees for the state.
The precipitation averaged OS4 of an
inch, or So per cent. above the normal for
January, II was very u%nequally distri-
buted throughout the month. The heav.
lest falls occurred in the west, southwest
and eastern portions, while the least
amounts were reported from the central
and the extreme northeast sections. The
average depth of unmelted % on the
ground at the close of the month was
twelve Understanding from two inches
at Fort Yates, Bowman county. to eighteen
inches at several stations in the northeast
quarter of the state.
December, the month of January was
characterized by a large number of severe
wind storms. At the central Office the
wind attained a maximum velocity of
twenty-five miles an hour, or over, on
eleven days, and on three days exceeded
forty miles an hour. The heaviest wind
storms were those of the 18th and 3lst.
During the former the maximum velocity
reached was tifty-two miles an hour from
the north at Bismarck, and during the
latter the wind attained a velocity of fifty
two miles III hour from the northwest at
Moorhead. The total monthly movement
of the wind at the st. Vincent station was
6.477 miles. The average hourly move
ment for the state was 1912 miles.
