NATURE AND CAUSE OF APPEN.

Judging from the reports SO fire.
quently made in the daily press, it
would appear, says the New York Her.
ED, that appendicitis is not only on the
increase, but that it appears to have
special prediction for prominent per-
sons. Contrary to popular belief, how
ever, it is no more frequent nor elective
in its occurrence than formerly. 1t is
simply a new name for the very old

Speaking of the climate of Alaska,
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, and
Chief Moore of the U. S. weather bureau
at Washington, D. c.. says:
The climate of the interior, including
in that designation practically all Of the
country except a narrow fringe of coast
margin and the territory before referred
to as temperate Alaska, is one of extreme
rigor in winter with brief but hot sum.
mer, especially when the sky is free from
clouds.
In the Clondykc region in midwinter
the sun rises from $50 to 10 a. m., and
sets from to 3 p. M, the total length of
daylight being about four hours.
Remembering that the sun rises but a
it is wholly obscured on a great many
days, the character of the winter months
may easily be imagined.
The observations were made with
standard instrument and are wholly re.
liable. The mean temperatures of the
months October, 1880, to April, 1880,
both inclusive, are as follows.
October, 80 degrees; November, S de-
grees; December, II degrees below zero;
January, II below; February Is below;
March, 6 above; April 20 above.
The daily mean temperature fell and
remained below the freezing point (32
degrees) from Nov. 4, 1889, to April 81,
1890, thus giving 16S days as the length
of the closed season of l8S9-'9O, assuming
that outdoor operations are controlled
by temperature only.
The lowest temperatures registered
during the winter we're - degrees below
zero in November; II below in Decem
ber; 50 below in January; 55 below in
February; IS below in March and 26 be-
low in April.
The greatest continuous cold occurred
in February, 1890. when the daily mean
for five consecutive days was Al degrees
below zero.
The changes of temperature from VIM
ter to summer are rapid owing to the
great igcrease in the length of the day.
In May the sun rises about a. M. and
sets about 8 p. m. In June it rises about
half past IN the morning and sets at
about half past 10, giving about twenty
hours of daylight and ditfuse twilight
the remainder of the time.
The mean summer temperature in the
interior doubtless ranges between GO and
70 degrees. according to elevation, being
highest in the MILDLY and lower Yukon
valleys,

A trusted employe of the U. S. treas.
ury department at Washington has been
caught in the act of stealing. The silver
coin is kept in strong canvas bags and is
counted by weight, as the most conven-
lent and quickest. This employe has
been in the habit of substituting pieces
of lead pipe for silver dollars, and was
recently caught in the act. AS he has
been employed for the past thirty years
it is hard matter to acertain how much
he has taken. He only admits s28, the
amount caught with. He may have
been working this game for years.
There are. in round numbers, S1530OO.-
600 in coin silver dollars in the treasury
vaults. 10 count this fabulous sum of
money by the piece would require a
force of experts at least one year, and
cost the government many thousands of
dollars. and yet there seems to be no
other way to discover the real condition
of the United States treasury.
For more than century it has been
tho boast OF the government officials
that the treasury of this country was
safe from raids of criminals and untrust-
worthy officials. 1t has remained for q

The Red Pants Won.

The first and second ball clubs crossed

Captains Shaw and Ward had both
selected their timber with great care,

there was blood on the moon.
The second nine went to bat first and
were shut out, while tho professionals
were more fortunate and run in two
scores first thing. In the second and
third tho scrubs received goose eggs,
making three in row; then Captain
Shaw big fellows got one in the second
and what the boy shot at in the third.
They each run in three in the fourth
which evened the score up little and
the rooters hallowed themselves hoarse.
In the fifth the big sluggers got meas.

with naught; as likewise they were in

The present wheat crop that the har-
vester is Just entering promises to be a
fairly good yeild in bushels as we'll as in
quality. The heads in most cases are
well filled and free from damage. The
total output for the state will probably
be in the neighborhood of 100000
bushels, maybe more. Conservative
judges say we will not have crop like
that of 1891, but Steele county will
pretty near average - bushels per acre
and of a good grade. At that rate we
wont starve, with the price near 70 cents;
nor we wont be compelled to go to the
Clondyke for gold, for this years crop
will place in circulation in our little
state alone. about s4,5OO,OOO.

The question Of railroad taxation in
North Dakota is at last settled. The
state board of equalization politely add
ed 100000 to the valuation of the roads
for taxation; and if that is not enough
perhaps the bourd can be induced to in
crease it more.
The increase is at the rate of straight
assessment of $3.50 mile on the franch-
ises, something that has not been con-
sidered before in the valuation of the
personal property of the roads. There
are 2507 miles of road in the state and
the total increase in valuation is $685.
600. The railroads fought hard for the
same valuation as last year. which was
higher by 100000 than the previous
year. but the board decided that tax
on the franchises was Just and should be
made. This raises the total valuation of
all the railroad property in the state for
the purpose of taxation to 98,50O,OOO.
The Great Northern road gets the great.
est increase, as their mileage in the state
is greater than that of any other road
