The Weather OF 1898.

The past year was . remarkable one
from q weather view. The changes OF
empersture in all the seasons were eX-
cessive, and the rains were local 10 chat
ac,er, 10 some localities being excessive,
while sections adjoining receive scarcely
any rain. Following is summary Of the
weather at this point.
IL January and February there was
more than the usual amount of precipi
tstion, mostly 10 the form of snow. The
first half Of March was very variable,
mostly moderate temperature. The last
half Of the month showed some sur
prising changes. The thermometer
markings RAGGED from s TO 50 degrees.
The month ended with high winds aud
quite cold. The entire precipitation for
the month was only Ill inches
April was not greatly different from
average Aprils; but May came in cold
and cloudy aud remained so until the
9Th, when the weather changed to very
warm, the mercury running up to 95
deg. on the 18th, aud over 80 degrees
on three other days during the month.
There was much thunder and lightning,
but the rainfall! reached ouly 2 13 inches
less than Que half the usual amount.
Juue came 10 hot aud clear, aud was
a hot month throughout, the Ihermon-
eter marking 80 degrees m two days, 9s
90 two days. aud over 80 on ten days.
The loves: mercury 1T noon was "a deg
Only so inch of rain fell during the
month, being less than oue-fourth the
average for Juue.
July broke the record for heat, the
thermometer marking as high as l09
deg in the shade. over 100 on eight
days, and over 80 on seven other days
There was obly LIS inches of rainfall
during the month.
August was 'holy terrnr" The
heat was intense, running over 100 deg
on fourteen days, aud from % to 9S on
seven other days. A peculiar thing
was that il was partly cloudy or harry a
large part of the month. Not trace
oi moisture fell during the month.

September, u. with the exception OF
three OF Jour days Of stnormslly cold
weather 10 the early Part Of the month
il was 40 extremely hot and dry cne.
During my sbsence from the middl,
Of September till ID c.'niber 10 regular
record was kept. However. enough Of
n record was mads to show that October
had many days. OF extreme heat. Nov
ember was coid,r Than The avragc.
On December 18th the daily record
was resumed. and has sipce been kept
regularly. The Last half of Decemb r
was very cold, the low marking Of the
Thermometers ran. ing from 800 On the
2lst to zero IN the BIT. During the
great ram bcgioning at 6. Q. m. on the
l7,h and ending at 8 p. IN. on the 18th,
the mercury stord steadily at 34o-only
90 above freezing point. The entire
precipitation for the month, including
the snow on the 9th, was 200 inches.
Taking the year altogether il was q
record breaker for heat, cold, and local
droHth. A strange part Of it was, there
were no genuine hot winds during the
sumner.
This report only applies, so far as pre-
ciPna'ion is ccnserned, to the region i'm.
mediately around Beaver. A short dis.
,ancc east and south of this place and
in the northwest part Of the county the
rainfall was excessive.

cordingly, her husband gave her $50 in

wood, Kansas, where she ascertained
that il would be better to come up TO

one cheaper. Mr.. Huret went back to
