Observations by Chancellor Snow, of Kan
 sas University, for 1897.
 LAWRENCE, Kan, Jan. 5.-In his an-- nual meteorological summary for the year 1897, Chancellor F. H. Snow. of Kansas university, says:
 The year 1897 was warm, dry and calm. It had the warmest September and October the cloudiest February the calmest September. the smallest total rainfall and the dearest month (September) of our 30 years record Only six years in that time have been warmer. The months of April May, June, August and December were colder than usual and the re- maining months were warmer than usual. Only two years have had longer interval between severe frosts and only five had a larger number of hot days The rainfall was greatly deficient, being less than two-thirds the average amount and by nearly an inch the lowest annual amount on record. The precipitation for each of the first three months was above the average. This resulted in an immense wheat crop for each of the succeeding months it was below the aver age. resulting in deficient corn crop The amount of snow was five inches above the mean. Total distance travelled by the wind was much below the average, only one year U879) having been less.

Assets of a Defnnct Bank Sold.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 5.-By order of the federal court sale was made yes terday of the assets of the Wichita na- tional bank, which has been for some time in a receivers hands. The assets amounted to about S55, 900, and were purchased by J. B. Frazier, of El Do- rado, who bid the value of the prop erty as listed and gave a bonus of S6,- 800. The increased value of the assets is due to the fact that many of the banks debtors have improved their financial condition to such an extent within the past year that they are now able to pay their entire indebtedness.

For the present the issuance of such certificates will be stopped. This or der is the result of the discovery of one of the most dangerous commercials ever discovered-one which even deceived the officials of the treasury department here. and was not discovered until the attention of the officials at Washington was called to the clever imitation of a $100 silver certificate, head of President Monroe, by John Cramer, of the sub treasury at Philadelphia Mr. Cramer brought to the secret service officers the counterfeit certificates, five in num- Der. These bills had been turned into the sub-treasury by two leading banks and the Philadelphia custom house, which had received them as genuine.

 LONDON, Ont, Jan. 5. 5.-Twenty-fi five persons were killed and many oth- CTS were injured by the collapse of a floor in the city hall last night Last night closed the municipal cam paign, and the hall was crowded to hear the addresses of the successful candidates. How many were injured will never be known, as those who suffered but slightly at once made for their homes or were cared for by friends. Both of the city hospitals are full, and many of the injured are at their own homes. The building was crowded to the very doors, prob ably 2,000 people being jammed in its narrow space. Following the crash there was a wild rush for the doors. At the south door, where the majority of the crowd had entered, there was a terrible panic. Those in front were thrown down by the on-coming rush, shrieking and fighting for the door and safety. Only half of the rear door, 8 space of prob ably three feet, was open, and in the mad rush no one thought to open the other half and 500 people struggled through the narrow space, the strong bearing down the weaker.
