WELL, TT DIDN'T CONE

That Nice Weather We Were Prom.
ised-AnybOdy Could Have Told
Them So.
When the weather men yesterday
talked of fair and warmer weather for
today with spring zephyrs thrown in,
they certainly meant that it was farther
off than today. Anybody could have
told them that the sky would not clear
as long as the wind WAS in the northeast
Clouds are here in the place of the
predicted clear sky, 80 degree tempera-
ture instead of 20, and the May zephyrs
are chilly, penetrating north breezes. On
the whole March is sustaining the disa-
greeable reputation that it has in other
states At & O'Clock this morning the
thermometer registered 8 degrees above
zero, and at 2 o'clock 80 above. The
weather men state that we will have rain
or snow today, and from the light snow
hurries which have been flying since
morning, it is proba BILE that their predic-
ton will prove correct They also say
that we will have rain tomorrow, with
warmer weather.
Along the lines of the Santa Fe
throughout Kansas today the weather is
reported cloudy and cold with indica-
tions of falling weather. AT Arkansas
City and Nickerson light snow fell last
night. On the Rock Island line betwee
Mcfarland and Herington snow was re-
ported to be falling this morning, as it
was also on the Chicasha division. On
all other divisions cloudy aud cold
weather was reported.
In New Mexico and Colorado the
weather is reported clear and pleasant.
In Texas cloudy and cool

Sala, when he was travelling luxurious

went to sleep. only to wake up with
the same question on his lips. 'Of

brougham once more. 'T used to be-

out even the price of a cab, while an

METEOR AT WASHINGTON.


1t Flashes Across the Sky ExpiOdtn G
Twice In Two Col0rs.
WASHINGTON. March 13-Shortiy after
II o'clock last night brilliant meteor
flashed through the southwestern sky
and after displaying a bright light and
all the colors of the spectrum it faded into
nothingness.
1t was evidently y sry near the earth
and may have struck somewhere in this
vicinity, though its trail of fire ceased
while it was still several degrees above
the horizon. 1t started into view not far
from the mid-sky of the southern plant
sphere, appearing first as a fine line of
light, rapidly diverging into a broad
band of fire, so brilliant as to cause an
illumination of dark corners of the streets.
When about one-half along it's visible
course it seemed to expand or explode,
presenting the appearance of a ball OF
reddish fire. which appeared TO break, SO
that there was a flashing out of light.
In moment there came another fash,
more intense than the first, and this time
the ball of fire seemed to be of bril-
liant blue. Again there was a bursting,
accompanied by a sputterihg appearance,
and then the meteor flashed off into
space invisible or consumed

WICHITA, March ia large audience
favored Mrs. Lease at the delivery of
her new lecture What Ais Us" at the

The position of the speaker was in
favor of bimetalIism, but she claims
there were other issues.

She declared with Wendell Phillips
that law had become a gigantic farce
under the influence of wealth, the recog-
milton of the strongest and that the OBJ
Ject OF good law was to repeal or tram
pie bad laws under foet. Here a glow

FISH AT LAKE VIEW,

All tho Gar Have Been Destroyed and
Black Bass Will be Put In.
Two years ago the low water at Lake
View resulted in the death of many of
the best varieties of fish and the lake has
not since been stocked up.
Then too, there were large numbers of
fish which destroyed both the small fish
and the spawn. Buffaloes weighing
twenty five pounds were shot with target
rifles as they swan around the lake in
schools destroying the spawn. Large
number of gars have been killed and the
fishermen in the club say that there is
not single one of these fish destroying
monsters now to be found in the lake.
The fish which will be bought this
spring will be large enough to be caught
on hooks and also large enough tc spawn.
They will all be black bass and will be
bought i'll Missouri, Wisconsin and Illi-
nois. Several thousand of them will be
put in the lake and the members figure
that in year or two they can catch all
the fish they care TO in few minutes.
