LEATHER COATS.

Made Of ShcepskIn, Horsehidc ana
DoEslNin-ScrviceabI md Warm.
Leather coats are made of sheepskin,
OF horsehide and OF dogskin. They are
lined with corduroy. with flannel, and
with sleeps wool. The corduroy lined
coats are made reversible, so that they
may be worn either side out. The coats
of shcepskin are usually finished black.
the horsehidc ard dogsltin coats russell
colored. "a leather coat of sheepskin,
corduroJ-.incd, costs about five dollars;
horschde coats sell for $12 to SIS, and
dogskin coats for $1S.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by truckmen and policemen and hunt
ers and lumbermen. The leather coat
is serviceab!e and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying, per-
haps, for hours in battery, waiting,
keeps warm in leather coat. The
sportsman after big game wears n
leather coat. It keeps the wcarer warm
without impeding his movements.
A leather coat is sometimes worn I'M
der another coat for the sake Of it's
warmth, as. perhaps, by II policeman.
And the leather coat may be worn with
the corduroy side out, so that more
leather coats are worn here in cities
than might be supposed.

RAT HUNTS IN OHIO.
Opposing Armies Frequently Resort
to TricIery.

Opposing Ar1cic" Frequently Resort
to Tricl>ery.
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says Il Bloomingburg
CO., correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos-
ing armies" of hunters. \ rat hunt
has just been concluded her, in which
11,455 rat tails were counted, and a
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6.So2 tails and the
other 4,C53 tails. II now leaks out
that one Of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held a rat hunt
l.4S6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
cent for 4S6 of them, the tails cost
lrg more than $12. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
The tails were purchased man from
another place was present, but was not
wiling to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11,455 tails were counted
out here a man was present from
Plain City and offered to give $25 cash
for 2,C00 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he was not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts.

all political candidates could quit

The Appeal suggests to the COVER

idea would be that the candidates for
public Offices could all take a needed
rest and reunion at home with the
full assurance that no other, candi-
date was out talking h9pled words to

holiday might also be observed by

Some Cold Weather.

The Silver State makes the follow
ing comparison of the temperature
during January, 1898, with that of
previous January's at different points
in the State. 1t says:
&The impression prevails through
out che State that January, 1893, was
the coolest for number of years,
and from comparisons with records
OF previous years, this seems to be
generally correct. There have been
periodic of more intense cold for one
OR two days, notably IL 1888 and 1890,
but seldom has there been such a
long continued period of cold wealth
er. The interest shown in the mat
ter at various places will justify a
comparison of last month with prev
ious Jannary's at few stations, the
records of which extend over a per-
iod of 10 to % years.
cat Austin it was the coldesC Jan
uary except 1890. At Battle Noun
tain, coide st i'll record of % years.
At Beowawe, 1888 and 1890 we're
colder. At Carlin, coolest in 70
years, except 1890. Carson City,
coolest in 10 years, except 1890. At
Halleck, coolest except in 1888, which
was the same. At Hot Springs and
Humboldt there have been several
colder January's in the past % years.
At Reno, the coolest except in 1888.
At Wadsworth, the coolest on record.
At Wnnemucca, the coolest except
In 1890. In that year the mercury
registered, one morning at 5 o'clock
80 degrees below zero here in town"
The following from a record in the
INDEPENDENT office, made by the late
Q. w. Grover, III 1888, will be of in
terest i'll this connection:
@Jan. 8, 1888, the thermometer stood
at 30 degrees below zero at a. NJ.
Jan 10, 1888, the thermometer ranged
from 50 to 81 degrees below zero at 6
a. m" .....
Mr.. Grover then adds The following
note:
@The coldest weather ever kno wn
in Nevada. Jan. 9, was clear bright
sunny day, no wind, yet the ther-
mometer\never got above degrees
below zero during the day. Jan. IA,
the thermometer never got above

The Gazette has the following spec
ials on the Cuban situation:
New YoRK, Feb. 2S.-The World
today prints circular which it says
is distributed on the streets Of Hav-
ana. It says in part:
"Spaniards, without conditions,
long live Spain with honor! It is
time we leave at one side lying de-
ceptions and puerile fear. It is nee
essary, even IL we all succumb in the
fight, not to stand the imposition of
that proud and ambitious nation,
which at every moment is taking ad-
vantage of the weakness Of the Liber-
al government, menacing us and
throwing down the gauntlet. Provi-
dence ID taking our part, and if you
think not see what has happened to
that vessel in which they confided all
their power At last these dirty
Yankees who meddle IN our affairs
Inundated us to the last degree, and
as further taunt send us one of the
war vessels of their rotten navy, after
insulting us In their newspapers in
our own house.
aSpaniards, the time for action has
arrived. Slumber not. Let us show
these vile traitors that we have not
yet lost our honor and that we know
how to protect it with the energy of a
worthy and strong nation such as our
Spain has been and always will be.
Death to Americans! Death to au-
tonomy! Long live Spain! Long live
Weyler!"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Matters re-
gardmg Spain are beginning to look
serious. Congress is taking a hand
dealt from the top of the deck, and on
| all sides. preparations are being made
to avenge the blowing up Of the
Maine in HGvana harbor. No telling
what day may bring forth.
Representative Bromwen of Ohio
today introduced in the House res
olution authorizing the Secretary OF
the Navy to purchase battleships and
all forms OF naval vessels, and ap
propriating S20,OO0OOO to be immedi
