Hicks on March's Opening

Storms during the last days of
February will have well expended
themselves by March lst, leaving
much cooler weather with deposits Of
sleet and snow in many regions to
northward, with swollen streams and
muddy highways to southwark. From
the 3rd to 9Th regular storm period
will cause marked rise in tempera-
ture, the barometer will fall and rain,
turning to snow northward, will
touch most sections in progressive
order from west to east. Saturday
the 4th, to Monday 9th, are the cen.
trial days, or days in the period on
which storms and storm conditions
are most certain to be at their highest
Rising barometer and colder weather
from the clearing west and north will
succeed the storms, following then
up as they advance eastward, ant
dominating the weather generally
say from about the 9Th to 9th.

BULLET STILL THERE.
MANILA PAPER TELLS OF ED
Titles INJURY.
Doctors Have Not Yet Been Able to
Locate the Piece Of Lead-Regrets
for n. E. Hands Death.

A copy of the Manila Freeman of
Jan. q was received today giving a
detailed report Of Ed Littles accident.
1t says:
"At about a. NJ. on Wednesday
morning last somewhat serious re-
volver accident occurred to Lieut..
Colonel Edward c. Little, the popular
officer of the Goth Kansas Infantry.
1t appears that the colonel was Field
Officer Of the day and was at the
Montana guard house, preparing to
60 his rounds While picking up his
belt. the revolver fell on the floor, the
conclusion setting off one Of the
charges, the bullet of which struck
the colonel in the left leg, just above
the knee, and passing through again
entered the posterlor part Of the hip,
where it now remains imbeded. The
injured officer was at once conveyed
to the hospital and his wounds dress
ed the precise position Of the bullet
not having yet become apparent.
"Up to the latest advices the pa
tient has been progressing most fav-
orally and it is considered probable
that he will be well enough to report
for duty within the next week or so.
"Colonel Titles misfortune has
elected great many expressions Of
sincere sympathy on all sides, among
his numerous civilian as well as mil
itary friends, to one and all Of whom
he has endeared himself by his many
good qualities, whether as soldier
or in his private capacity as a kindly,
whole.souled gentleman.
MANY who have met the colonel
here will be interested to know that
for some years he looked after Uncle
Sans interests in,the important post
of consul at Cairo. At the outbreak
Of the war he was private secretary to
Governor Leedy, resigning that posi-
ton in favor OF that which he holds
at present as commanding officer of
the 20th Kansas.
Capt. Watson OF Co. l. is in charge
