THE COLDESr COUNTRY.
fhe Thcrnr ometcr occasionally Drops
10 go Degrees Eclosr znro

Symon's Monthly METEOROLOGICAL Map-
aXlne gives an Interesting account of
Life IN the Coolest Country in the
Norid' which his been taken from the
bulletin OF the Royal Geographical So
ciety at lrkutsk. The name Of the place
IS Werchojansk. in Siberia, longitude las
degrees 81 minutes east, latitude G. de-
srees 81 minutes north, where the low
est temperature Of minus 80 degrees
fahrenheit has been observed, and the
Fahrenheit. 1t is inhabited by about
10000 persons of the Jnkut and lanai
races.
In large part Of this region, accord
ing to Prof. kovalik, the air is SO dry
ana the winds are so rare that the in
.ehSlty or the cold can not be fully real
ized. IN the most distant part Of the
east there are sometimes terrible storms
which are most fatal to life in their con
sequences. During the summer time the
temperature occasionally rises to Sc de-
gress Fahrenheit In the Shade, while II
freezes al night. The latter part OF the
season is often marked by copious rains
and extensive foundations, which In
Varlably lay waste a vast acreage OF
land and prove to be q serious obstacle
to the cultivation of the soil. Vegeta-
ton is very scanty. There are practi-
csllS no trees only wide. open mea dows
The people hunt fur-bearing animals
fish and raise cattle and reindeer. II
requires about eight cows to support a
family, four being MIXED in the summe,
and two in the winter. The cattle arc
very small In size. and are allowed to &c
out when there is the slightest break In
the weather, but their teats are ALWAYS
carefully covered up. Milk is the prin.
cipal food. This Is sometimes supple
mented with hares. which are quite
abundant, but not very rel;shable.
The houses are constructed of wood
covered with clay, and as a rule consis,
Of only one room, in which the people
and annals live together. The uppc,
and weather. classes are better pro
vided with lodging and food. AS a race
they are exceedingly courteous and very
hospttable, and they are excessively
punctilious concerning points OF honor
such as the place at the table and the
proper place at festivals

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of q CON
clifton Of the blood which produces g
fiery irritation almost unbearable. II is
q mistake to think that this local irrita.
tion is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence Of disordered condition of the
olord. Tile scat of the disease is in the
blood, aud this is why the various salvcs
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S S. is
without All equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
aiid removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
sirst nching symptoms were needed and
course of SIS. taken promptly, as ap-
parently insignificant S in irritations
usually develop into the worst form
OF Eczema unless properly treated.
1t matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, aud
forces it out.
Mr. William Armstrong, an old resi-
dent aud highly respected citizen Of
he Pere, Wis, writes on April 1st, 1896.

medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. then went

disease shortly returned. went 10
Florida thinking that change Of eli

The recent decision OF Judge Foster OF the
United states court at Topeka In declaring
that the Kansas City Live Stock exchange
as now organized was Illegal and violation
OF the antitrust law. caused considerable
comment at the exchange here yesterday
Members of the exchange appeared 10th to
talk ABOUT the matter principally because II
did not concern the yards people here and
because 1t is thought that the decision rem
dered would be reversed when an appeal to
higher court was taken. The opinion pre-
walls that Judge Foster has misconstrued
the rules of the Kansas City exchange IN
that he interprets them to be more arbitrary
than they really are.
The system OF business is practically the
same at both exchanges, although 1t is
claimed that the rules In vogue here are less
radical than those in force at Kansas City,
II is claimed here that membership fees In
the Kansas City exchange are now fixed at
S2,500 while the memberships here are SELL
ing for $1,000, and in cases of transfers as
low as $3.50 is taken.
Commission men here hold that their or
ganization is not trust, but merely an
association of business men, the object being
principally to protect shippers from unprin-
cipled men who would otherwise frequent
the yards. According to members of the
exchange any shipper has the privilege of
selling his own stock II he so desires, and
every courtesy is offorded stockmcn who take
this method of disposing of their product.
For this one reason, If for no other, the live
stock exchange of South Omaha cannot, 1t
is asserted, be classed as a trust,

Refuses to Atiix His Seal.

Some time ago Thomas j. O'Neil, a notary
public, acknowledged lease between Theo-
dore Voz and Harry Lauffenberg. the owner
of the Pioneer block, for the rent of a room
on the ground floor Of the build,rg The
lease was to run for one year from May 10,
1897, with the privilege of extension If II
was so desired. At the time of the acknowl-
edgement O'Neil omitted to affx his seal to
the document, thus rendering ii useless as
far as recording went. Negotiations for the
sale of the property have been pending for
some time past and O'Neil has acted as the
agent of the ow,.er. These negotiations
caused Volz to look up his lease end he
discovered the omission. O'Neil was re-
Quested to complete the papers by afIiXing
his seal, but he refused, alleging that by so
doing he would jeopardze the sale of the
property. Nolz told his troubles to en- attor-
ney, who yesterday afternoon secured from
Judge Scott Of the district court a peremp-
tory writ of mandamus compelling O'Neil
to affiX his seal to the document. When the
writ was served O'Neil refused to comply and
Patrick gave notice that he would file an
Information with the clerk of the district
court and have ONe arrested for refusing
to comply with an order of one of the district
Judges.
