For q Gold Month

According to the predictions af Prof.
Hicks we are to have some most un-
pleasant weather this month.
His predictions for January are as fol-
lows:
A rapid rise of the barometer, high
northwesterly winds, snow drifts and q
cold wave may be looked for about the
lst to the 3rd. The regular storm
period beginning on the 4th, is central
with the Mercury period on the 9Th, ex-
tending to the 9th. About the 4th, the
barometer will fall decidedly, it will
grow much warmer, beginning in the
west, and during the 4th to about the
9Th, heavy winter storms of rain, snow
and sleet will pass in regular order from
western to eastern parts ofour continent.
Look for severe and general cold over
most parts of the country from about the
7th TO l1th progressively, of course, not
with the same degrees of cold every
where during all that time. Watch for
the wave to hit your section some time
between the 7th and 18th. On and
touching the 18th and 18th, the prevail.
ing cold will moderate, winds will shift
to southerly, the barometer will fall,
bringing on a marked change, or reac-
action to more rain, snow, sleet and
storminess. Moon Is in perigee on the
18th and full on the 18th, facts which
always tend to aggregate storm condi-
tions that may prevail at the same time.
Look for another sharp and decided
cold wave Immediately on the heels Of
storms central on the 18th and 18th.
The next regular storm period is cen.
tral on the 18th, reaching from the 18th
to the Goth. Moon Is on the celectial
equator on the 18th, hence general
change TO warmer will set in about that
date, with falling barometer and marked
return Of general storm conditions
From about Saturday the 18th, to Tues
day the goth, the storms of this period
will reach their eliminating crisis in all
central to eastern parts of the country.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1903-01-03

The moon passes south of the celestial
equator on the 18th, hence high temper
ature for the season will be natural on
and about that date, with winter lights
ming and thunder very probable south-
ward. About the 22nd to oath, look for
some moderation of the prevailing cold,
with falling barometer, growing cloudi-
hess and feturn of rain and snow in
wide sections. The last storm period
for the month extends from the 9th to
the 3lst, being central on the Goth. New
moon falls on the 2Sth, fact that will
hasten the change back to very marked
storm conditions.
There are good reasons to appfehend
that hard and general winter storms will
occur on sea and land during the last
four days of January. The Venus per-
turbation will be decided factor in the
last two storm psriods, for the month.
This means that vefy sudden and ex.
treme changes of oftemperature will occur,
with winter rains wind and thunder,
changing with surprising suddenness In
to fearful billiards and tempestuous,
boreal winds and cold waves. Some
such results need not surprise any reader
of these forecasts during the last week in
January.

The long winter evenings are here

men, who haye been selected as writer's

We are somewhat unlucky, but we still have
some hope.
So come, Girls, and look at us, on next Monday
eve,
And II any good in us you should perceive,

Of capturing some lady to patch up our pants.
This very unique invitation was sent
out by thirteen old bachelors of our
town TO the young married and unmar-
ried people to attend party given in
the opera house Monday evening, De-
cember 20. To say that this party was
a success is putting it very mild. Games
of nearly every description were pro-
yided for all snd those who cared to in
dulged in trips of the eight fantastic"
In nearly every corner of the room
were dainty refreshments of different
kinds where each one could partake at
pleasure. 1t was pronounced by every
one present the event of the season and
one long to be remembered.
Prizes had been provided to be given
those who were successful and those
who we're not at the games, but when
the music started the games started to
break up. So it was decided to give the
prizes for walters. Miss Alice Clark
was awarded the first ladies prize and
w. w. Olds received the gents. For a
long time it was question who should
receive the other gents prize, and the
judges made John McFadden and G. H.
Henderson waltz together until they
both dropped by pail Of pop corn, too
much exhausted to walk up and receive
the prize. At last Mt. Henderson came
too enough to receive nourishment from
bottle of milk, so he received that very
bottle of milk as reward of merit.
Mac didn't feel 30 badly after all as it
was reported that before leaving the hall
he got some of the milk.
We feel like answering your kind in
vitation, boys, in a more fitting way,
but not having poets license, and not
feeling equal to the occasion we can
only say:

Secured a JudRment.

Damages in the sum of 81, 900 have
been awarded Miss Myrtle Harvey
against Rapid City in circuit court, on a
suit for personal injury, says Rapid
City special Of December 9th. Miss
Harvey sued for $1,000 and $3.50 alleged
to have been expended for surgical at
tendance. She fell on a broken side
walk in Rapid City August 81, 1901,
breaking her ankle. At the time the
complaint was first filed it was alleged
that she had lost the use of the injured
member and had been confined to her
bed much Of the lime after the accident
by teascii of complications arising. Since
the filing Of this complaint it has become
necessary to amputate Che foot at the
ankle, the amputation being performed
November IL, 1902. The young woman
is now in critical condition, a genuine
case of consumption having developed,
said to be due to the injured ankle.
Tubercular bacilli appeared in the in
jured ankle several months ago and have
since been communicated to the lungs.
1t was in the hope of putting a stop to
tho spread of the bacili that the alnpu.
tation was resorsed to, but the case had
evidently gone too long. Her doctors
do not hold out any hope for her recov-
cry. The case aroused much interest in
court, particularly among the attorneys
who had previously made q S.ndy of tu-

How Gold 10 Lost.

In our article upon this subject in last
weeks paper we copied from the Boston
Mining Bureau of December 18th which
says:
'Take gold for instance. It is fusible
at 1045 degrees Fahrenheit. But sub.
iected to heat of 1850 for an hour, with
little lead in the cupel, one half of the
gold is evaporated and lost"
1t has been suggested that there was
evidently mistake made, probably a
typographical error on the part
of the Boston Mining Bureau. He
suggests that instead Of Fahrenheit the
word centigrade was intended. This Is
probably correct as gold according to
all authorities) is not fusible at 1045
Fahrenheit but about 1900 degrees. II
the word centigrade be used instead oi
Fahrenheit the statement would prob
ably be approximately correct,
