LAWRENCE, Kan, Jan. 6.-Chancellor
Shows annual summary OF weather con-
ditions, from observations taken at Law
renee. shows that the year 1893 was char
acterized by a cool summer. warm
spring and fall. and q low average winter
temperature, with notable absence of ex-
tremes. The number of very hot summer
days and very cold winter days was much
below the average. Two Of the hottest
days were April 9th and September 18th,
and zen Of the thirty-one hot days OF the
year were in September.
An anomaly in temperature was the
month of December, in which the last hall
Was 10 degrees warmer than the nrst halI
With the exception of three days IN the
first week of December every day of that
month was favorable for outdoor mason
work. After fiYe successive years of rain
fall above the average, the year 1885
afforded total precipitation slightly be-
low the average.
A marked popularity of the year was
the low percentage of cloudiness. The
skies were clearer than in any preceding
year of the record.
The velocity of the wind was greater
than in any year since 1883, but. no dam
age was doue by high winds at this
station. A destructive tornado occurred
on June 2Ist at WilliamstOwn, only ten
miles distant, but the university anemo-
meter indicated at that time maximum
velocity of only tity miles an hour.
The entire rainfall, including melted
snow, was "a. II inches, which IS l.4l Inches

snow or both, in measurable quantities,

SEED FOR WESTERN KANSAS

Topeka. Kau., Jan. 6-State Seed Com
missioner Henderson. in his report to the
governor, says that 5.S9l western Kansas
farmers applied to him last fall for seed
wheat. They were from twenty-five differ
ent counties. The total number OF bushels
asked for was 294, 800 This was regarded
as sufficient quantity 10 seed 3o4 39o
acres. The scheme to have this wheat
donated by county conventions was COM
plete failure. Not single bushel was
contributed in ihi5 way, although Com
missioner Henderson says he made an
appeal to fifty-two counties Ia the eastern
half of the state.
Private donations, however, were made
by individuals. lodges and churches to the
extent cf 42,43O bushels. The counties
fortunate enough to receive these dona-
tions. and the number of bushels sent to
each, are as follows: Wichita. 10. 793;
Lane, 8, 74S; Rush, 1870; Ness, J. 554; Rocks,
260; Greeley 400; Sheridan, $500; Scott
4, 800: Kearney, 600; Logan 90; Ford. ~.
The donations were sent through Commls-
sioner Henderson, and were transported
free Of charge by the railroad companies.

Joining counties will be OF great benefit to
the farmers of that section. 1t has been
fully demonsir rated that Il large body oil
artesian water flows uuder the whole sec
tion, requiring only an opening to permit
it to gusn out on the surface in great
abundance 1t is the intention of the
farmers of the section to sink wells not to
exceed one mile apart, then dig dltches
and iaterals so the entire country can be
watered. They believe this system OF lrri-
eating the arid lands will solve the crop
problem in all that region.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Financial News
says:
Both fact and fiction have made us
familiar, even on this side of the Atlantic,
with the American railroad robber, who
boards an express train, shoots the guard
aud rifles he strong box Unfortunately
there is in America another scarcely less
disreputab,e class of robbers, whose plans
are copcocted in the board rooms anu
whose arena of operations is Wall street.
The paper continues in similar strain
for over n column, comparing the Amer
csn railroad boss TO a card sharper, whose
victims have had numerous warnings aud
ought not to be surprised into lament.
''rhe methods If the boss," the article
says, "are not criminal. He swiudlvs you
by legal devices, aud doubtless in Wall
street be would be considered an honorahse
man. But Wall street has peculiar
standard"
The writer goes into details concerning
the Re .diuy, Erie and Atchisen COLLAPSE,
and proceeds as follows:
DOUBTLESS there are honest railway
men in Americs aud bonds that are almost
giit-edged in the r sound character. bu, the
balance is heavily the otheI way. This
time, however. the dirty business has
been rather overdone. and the British
goose is not likely TO lay any more golden
eggs. Ii the people have ANY sense iefI

proceedings before the supreme court this
morning to vacate tks charters of the
Guarantee Bond Investment company of
Nevada. the Pettis County Investment
company of Sedalis, and the St. Louis
Mutual Bond Investment company OF ST.
Louis. In his petition the attorney gen
eral says that the organizations have no
right TO exist under the law, and asks for
writs to restrain them from doing busi-
ness and to oust them from the pretended
corporate rights they enjoy. These COM
psnies have flooded not only Missouri but
Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas and AR
kansas with their bonds, and until denied

acted enormous business. Some OF the
officers of the Nevada company were
recently tried and convicted before the

panies through which TO carry on their
business. The application OF the attorney

She says that on last Saturday, shortly
after the family had retired, she detected the

think that the gas was leaking. Later
the house became cold, and Mr.. Read lit
the gas in both stoves and sat down in
front of one, where his body was found.
No poison was found in the stomachs of
