The average morning temperature

lalf degrees lower than In February
1894. The coolest morning last month
vas on the seventh when it was twelve
degrees below zero. The warmest
morning was on the twenLy-sixth when
1t was fifty eight degrees above zero.
The greatest atmospheric pressure for
the month was on the morning of the

pressure was on the evening of the 18th
when the barometer registered 2906.

the third day of March when the ba-

A Word to Subscribers.

1t sometimes happens that news
paper must have few dollars to pay
| running expenses of the office and ii
therefore becomes incumbent upon the
unfortunate victim of the printshop to
start out on dunning tour. Our Inn
tied experience in that line makes it
somewhat unpleasant for us to assume
such arduous labors but we would be
doubly willing to forego these small
discomforts for a just remuneration;
but we could relate tale of woe pa :
thetic enough.to melt heart of stone.
There are classes of people, well to-do-
men too. who will gaze at paltry sub
scription bill in open eyed wonderment
as if their temporal and eternal well
fare was at stake. thinking that they
are asked to give dollar for nothing.
They don't seem to realize that they are
only asked TO pay the actual cost of the
material, that they got paper for which
we must pay dollar every year. In
the face of this fact many contend that
newspaper man is a contemplate
wretch for rendering a subscription
bill. Then there is another class for
whom we have nothing but everlasting
disgust and by whom Hades will be
well patroniZed. We refer to the man
who Is from two to five years in arrears

We Stand Corrected.

EDS. INDEX: We would like to cor.
rect a few errors we noticed in an arti.
Gle in last weeks issue concerning the
spelling match between the College
Center and Enon and Nine Cottonwood
schools.
First-College Center did not submit
challenge to joint force.
Second-College Center did not with
draw from the match, but simply re-
fused to spell on one of Enon's tricks
Third-A part of Nine Cottonwood's
spoilers (which were supposed to be the
best) were there.
We supposed the championship was
settled as College Center spelled some
time by itself after all others were
spelled down. If not we would like to
have chance to settle it.

Through an over sight we neglected
to make mention I'm our last weeks
issue OF a remarkable faith cure which
took place at the residence of David
ROsenberger about two wGeks ago.
Mr.. II. had been afflicted with a pain
full and what was thought to be fatal
disease of the brain caused in the first
place by erysipelas and aggravated by
an indiscreet use of iodine to overcome
the same. lie was an acute sufferer
for many ears and death was expected
at almost any moment but THIS faith
cure. if reports are true, proved to be
the proper remedy. The christian
people of the nelghboThood assembled
at the invalid's home on an appointed
day and with HIM solicited Divine in
ttrp6siIion until it had the desired eff
feet. The only eKplspation offered for
this somewhat surprising ami very re-
markable cure is, that Mr.. Rs faith
was strong enough to procure assis-
lance from the Omnipotant 1t is said
that he is again stout and healthy
man. This case will probably give the
faith cure whim new impetus inthese
parts.
