WEATHER BULLETIN.

COPYRIGHTED, 1895, BY W, 7, FOSTER,
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Mar. 2.-My last
bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
wave to cross the continent from
March | to and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about the
9th, cross the western mountain
country by close OF 18th, great cen.
tral valleys 8th to 10th and eastern
states about 11th.
This disturbance will be OF more
force than usual but precipitation
will be light except in a few limited
localities. The most important fea-
ture of this storm will be the cold
wave Immediately following its
warm wave, causing great extremes
of temperature and frosts further
south than usual.
Just here it is pertinent to repeat
that 1895 crop season weather will
be uncommon and remarkable and
every part of the United States may
prepare for the unusual.
The third storm wave of March
will reach the Pacific coast about
18th, cross the western mountain
country by close of 18th, the great
central valleys 14th to 10th and the
eastern states about the 18th.
The feature Of this disturbance
will be very considerable increase
of precipitation as compared with
the first part of the month and the
temperature will average low during
the two weeks following this storm
wave
Warm waves will cross the west
ern mountain country about 9th and
18th, great central valleys 9Th and
18th and eastern states 10th and
10th. Cool waves will cross the
western mountain country about
9th and 18th, great central valleys
18th and 18th and eastern cta.cs
18th and 10Th.
The principal storms Of March
will be those to cross the continent
from 7th to 18th and 24th to 18th
and the cold waves following these
will be the most severe of the
month.
The principal, most brilliant and
beautiful, aurora will accompany the
cold wave crossing the continent
from % to 9th. A more brilliant
aurora will accompany the cold
wave crossing the continent 7th to
9th but it will probably be obscured
by the full moon.

WANDERS FROM HOME
DEMENTED MRS. CARLSON FEARS
AN IMAGINARY ENEMY
AND HURRIEDLY DEcAMPS
She Takes Her Three Children
Along, Is Captured Once, and
Disappears Again.

Mrs. T. Carlson, of 25S Ramsey street
disappeared from her home at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning, and the police are
making an active search for her. The
unfortunate woman is demented, and
at one time was placed in an asylum.
Recently her malady returned. Mrs
Carlson cherishes an illusion that some
one is continually following her for the
purpose of poisoning her. Yesterday
morning while preparing her husband s
breakfast she was greatly agitated. He
had scarcely left the house when she
gathered her children together and
sought the street. Two Of her babies
one of eighteen months, the other
nursing infant-she deposited in baby
buggy. The third child, a girl OF three,
completed the family procession. In
tent only on getting beyond the reach
OF her imagined enemy, she tranlped
the streets, with no definite idea of
where she was going. Her actions at
tracted the attention of Officer Kaiser,
who coaxed her to tell him where she
lived. He left her and her little folks
at her door
Her sojourn at home was brief. With
In ten minutes she sauntered forth
again, accompanied by the children.
The neighbors attempted TO induce Mrs.
Carlson to remain at home. Not sue
ceedLng, they notified her husband, a
motorman. The latter was terribly agi-
tated, fearing his children were ex-
posed to danger. The demented woman
wore grey dress, black plush coat
and hat of similar material She is
thirty-five. and of slender proportions.

of public works, board of control,
reduction of city officials salaries,
and all matters of like character,
which have my hearty concurrence.
But the Bell charter is a special law.
which you may repeal, but which
you cannot amend, extend or mod
ify.'
There is a false impression that
in the garb of a so-called general law,
that the charter may be affected and
the constitutional inhibition evaded !;
but L have yet to hear of a lawyer of
standing who will concur in that view
1t has been said to me that, no matter
if the laws passed shall be imperative,
the Republican party must keep it's
pledges to the people, and make a
showing. 1 will not SO stultify my
self. AS one of the few lawyers in
the legislature L will give my honest
opinion on any and every question of
law. To pass a law that would be of
no effect is to trifle with the CONT
dence of the people. In my judgment,
nine out of ten of the bills introduced.
and the laws passed, seeking to evade
the inhibition against special legis-
lation will be by the courts declared
imperative, if test is made. 1 voted
for the Howard bill because if a ma
jority of the people desire it, that law
furnishes a remedy. L did not vote
against the Sheehan bill because it
provides for home rule if the people
desire it. The trouble is that neither
bill provides immediate relief for ex-
listing conditions that are being Bit
terly complained off,

NATIONAL EDUCATORS.
Meeting of the minnesota Com mi,

Meeting of the Minnesota Commit
tee With Supt. Pendergast.
The committee to secure Mime
sofa representation at the Denver
meeting of the National Educational
association met at State Supt. Fender
CASTS Office Saturday forenoon. The
state committee and that represent
ing the n. E. A. were combined, and
is now composed of D. L. Kiehle, w.
w. Pendergast, G. B. Gilbert, c. M.
Jordan, r. E. Denfeld, H. G. Hess,
Buel 7. Davis, Fred Kiehle and S. s.
Parr. The waking up of all teachers
to the Importance of this meeting was
the chief topic discussed. I-
The rates offered are marvelouSly
cheap, affording an opportunity to
take grand ''knockabout'' tour,
which is itself worth a good course in
nature study. The Rock Island, Bur-
lington, Omaha and Northern Pacific
railroads had representatives present,
and gave a glowing account of the
rates and facilities to be furnished.
The round-trip rate to the principal
Montana points, Denver Salt Lake
and back to Missouri river and Min
nesota points will be about $780, Hotel
and other rates are low, and it is
hoped to have several hundred teach
ers at Denver from this state. A Wig
orous canvass is to be pushed through
out Minnesota. Many teachers who
otherwise go East will doubtless take
this opportunity to see the Rockies.

STOLE THE TOWELS.
PARTIALLY PETRIFIED PATIENT
ESCAPES FROM ST. JOSEPHsS
AND CARRIES OFF THE LINEN
He Is an Old Man, Affected With
Cancer, and Bears Marks OF
the Surgeons Knife.

Thomas Kennedy, a grey-haired man
of nearly sixty, was detained at the
central police station yesterday as a
lunatic. The old fellow escaped the af-
ternoon previous from st. Joseph S
hospital. He has been a patient at
that institution since last November
having come there to be treated for
cancer. Kennedy bears evidence of
the surgeons knife. A portion of his
chin has been cut away, presenting a
most dreadful appearance. Long scars
indicate where other cancerous growths
had been cut away. Kennedy is par
TALLY petrified. Nearly his entire left
side is affected, that portion of his
body being solid as a rock. In addi-
ton to his other misfortunes he is
rapidly losing his mind. Saturday he
eluded the vigilance of his attendant
and escaped from the ward in which
he was confined. He did not, however,
leave the building for some time. He
first investigated the linen room, which
he very skillfully looted of a large
number of towels. His pockets were
filled with them, while he carried a
great bundle in his hands,
Evidently intent on returning to his
home - Missoula, Mont.-Kennedy di-
rected his steps to the union depot.
Here Officer Clark arrested him. The
old man tried to make a dicker with
his captor, Offering the officer all the
towels he had if he would release him.
When brought to police headquarters
more than 200 towels were found upon
him. More than a dozen strings of
beads were found among his apparel
where Ge had cunningly concealed
them. Kennedy objected strongly to
being locked up, and passed yesterday
in suilen silence. He will be returned
to the hospital.

TO PASS THE TIME AWAY

The first fool, whispered the oracle
at Delphi, was the man who thought
himself wise. His name is not now
in the directory, but his example
has not been forgotten. The first
April fool joke that has come down
to posterity was played some 5000
years ago last spring by a moros-
aurus grandfs, when he put his foot
in the cenozoic mud and laughed till
he cracked a tusk, as he reflected
that the modern geologist would
look up his record later on, and set
him down for an otozoum mood.
The first fools day was celebrated
in the mysterious committee room of
the past. The feast of Hull, ending
March 81, has long been known
among the Hindoos. Their ceIebra-
ton of this event is exactly the
same as our observance of April 1.
