Hottest On Record.

Never before, since the weather bureau
was established, twenty-seven years ago,
has September been SO hot. The mean
temperature for the thirty days is 6S de-
grees. 1t is five degrees above the normal
average for September at Chicago. And
it has been the driest month, with one
exception. In September, 1871, there was
Il rainfall of IA inch. In September, 1897,
the rainfall was .S4 inch. Besides, the
two months of August and September,
taken together, are the two hottest and
driest of any ON record. There have been
no storms in September. In all the month
there was but one bit of bad weather, and
that was in the Lake Superior region.
But it did not amount to much, and little
or nothing was destroyed by it.

Hunt for Buried Treasure.

Several years ago George Johnston, a
farmer of near Steuhenville, Ohio, died,
and ever since several of his heirs have
been searching his farm for S12, 900 in gold,
which Johnston had, and which before
his death he produced from its hiding

not be found. Several of the children
were cited to appear before the Probate

SPANISH CABINET OUT
designation of Azcarraga Ministry
Offered and Accented.

Offered and Accepted.
The Spanish cabinet has resigned, and
the belief in London is that the Liberals
will assume power in few days. No one
expects to see any other man that Sa-
gasta called TO the premiership, but some
surprises yet remain in the situation. 1t
is possible that Gen. Azcarraga, whose
radical attitude toward Cuba is known of
all men, may have sufficient influence to
prevent Sagasta, the putative friend Of
Cuban autonomy, securing the premier
ship. The totterinS condition of the AZ
carraga government has been known for
some time, and it is evident the plans for
its resignation were all laid before the
queen regent left San Sebastian. This
is proved by the fact that the queen re-
gent accepted the resignation as soon as
rendered, with the usual request that
Gen. Azcarraga continue in office until
solution of the crisis is found.

Logic of the Coffin Pardon.

President Mckinley should play no
favorites. Having pardoned Francis
Coffin, he should now open the prison
doors to old man Haughey, who has
served several years of Il heavy sen
tence, and who is much less culpablc
than Coffin, the recipient of Presiden
tial favor. OF course Haughey de-
serves all he got, but if sentimentalism
is to outweigh justice there is no par
ticular reason why Haughey alone
should be compelled to complete his
scntence.-Lafayette Ind, Journal.
