'Tis said that there is some doubt

there as elsewhere in tho Govern

The capture OF Kipchow by the
Japanese on Thursday was one Of
tbs most important developments Of
the war. II does not effect 10 any

would doubtless be able to keep up

One thing that will seriously up
set the Republican managers OF the
Roosevelt csmpaign this year will
be tho lack OF money. While trying
to carry water on both shoulders,
Mr. Roosevelt has lost the sos6denss
OF the large monied element. Some
OF the barons, we are given to under.
stand, will refuse to put up dollar
while 8 majority Of them that do
dig up will sparinsly. In the two
Mckinley campaigns money was
poured out like water, end that self
same money is what did the busi-
ness. Mr. Roosevelt will not have
that essential element in his cam
paign, and q lack OF interest and
votes will consequently ensue.

COLD, STORMY FEBRUARY.
Hicks Doesn't Promise Much Sunshine
for Next Month.
ONE SEVERE COLD WAVE FORETOLD.
Heavy Snow and Sleet Storms to Come Early
In the Month, and the Closing
Days viii Be Cold.

Storms will accompany the
birth of February, 1904, if the
predictions of Rev. Irl r. Hicks
are verified. BY the first day,
says the st. Louis forecaster,
storm areas will begin to form
over the western parts of the
country and wide areas of rain
and sleet will pass eastwardly
across the country. Ordinarily
a cold wave and blizzard would
appear before the 4th, but the
moon does not pass the celestial
equator until the 4th, hence the
storms of this period may not
reach blizzardous proportions un'
til after that date.
If heavy snow and sleet storms
do not appear during the first
four days of the month, such
storms will almost certainly de.
velop about the 9th to the 9th.
But the chances for marked win.
ter storms on and near the first
day of the month are many. AT
least one severe cold wave may
be counted on. Two are quite
probable, one not far from the
lst, and another on and about the
9TH aud Sth.
The third storm period is cen
tral on the 18th and reaches from
the 10th to the 10th. Falling ba.
rOmeter and general storms OF
rain and snow will return about
the 14th, 18th and 10Th.
The last regular storm period
for February is central on the
oath, it's distributing influence
reaching from the 22nd to the
27th. The first stages of this pc
riod will bring change to much
warmer in western parts-winds
will change to southerly and east
erly the barometer will fall, there
will be increasing humidity anG
more storms of rain turning tC
snow on the north side.
AS the month goes out, gener
ally fair and colder weather will
prevail. In the western extremes
reaction to warmer will have SET
in, and the barometer will be fall.
ing preparatory for the reaction
ary storms due the first three
days of March.

most heavenly glow of pink and
sea green melting into the blue
above. The water was a light
blue with here and there d tiny
ripple. Soon as the ship stopped
the usual nun Der of natives
swarmed Oh board to sell oranges
figs, coral beads, post cards, and
all sorts of jewelry. The weather
and sea have been perfect, and [
have enjoyed every hour since |
got my sea legs on.
1t is astonishing how one can
eat; and the food is very different
from home food. Just one article
is served at time; sometimes
two vegetables with one kind of
meat. We have eight courses at
dinner, the plates, knives and
forks are changed every course,
"a little bell strikes between each
course. Think Of eating six times
day, though three of these are
fruit, cocoa and biscuit. The
stewards and cooks get one meal
over only to begin setting the Ia
BILE for another; they work like
galley slaves. Nearly every body
on board is English and until one
gets accustom ed to their accent,
they are nearly as hard to un-
derstand as if they spoke French
and | never saw such pollteness,
not even in France. Curry, either
meat, fish or vegetables is served
at every big meal, and am learn,
ing to eat it, though it is very diff
ferent from any thing we have,
and is eaten with u fork and large
spoon. To day, when we came up
to dinner the punkahs Garge
fans) were up, aud two black fell
lows were swinging them for dear
life. 1t is getting up into the
nlneties and white shirt waists
are very popular. This morning
we had a thunder storm which
drove US off deck down into the
saloon.
All the strange new things are
so interesting, perhaps because
they are new to me. And when
the natives come on board with
all these curious things 10 sell, !
simply stare and stare. And ev.
cry time | come down TO dinner,
tea or breakfast, i stare some
more at the punkah wala; he has
such a tired face under hls dirty
white head gear. There are a lot
of Hindustani among the crew.

Industry in Wisconsin.
will try once more to write a
short letter, which may contain
some things that may possibly IN.
terest some of your readers. But
first of all, l wish to correct a
typographical error in my last
letter. In speaking of the boiler
to be used IN the Nam moth paper
mill at Grand Rapids, the printer
made me say driving" when l
meant to say drying purposes.
l ain still enjoying excellent
health, and have easy access to all
the public means Of grace, such
as the Sunday school, prayer
meeting, Epworth League and
preaching. The Methodists and
Free Will Baptist have been hold
ing union meeting which closed
last night. The Baptlsts have ID
lady pastor, she is very fine lady
good preacher and very earnest
in her work. She preached a
grand sermon at the Methodist
church on watch meeting night,
from the text "This year thou
shalt die.
We are having thus far, | think
rather a pleasant winter; it gets
pretty cold some times, about 30
below zero, but these cold snaps
don't generally last more than 8
or 4 days. We have about six
inches of snow on the ground, and
every thing is clean and dry
There has been no rain for two
months or more. Word came from
Wood county to-day that the wa
ter has failed up there so they
have to melt snow for thei,' cattle.
The mercury standing at 35 to 40
below zero. The probability is
the water Is all frozen up.
Now | propose to write a little
moreaoout Lafayette county; and
especially, of Wayne township
This township is just six miles
square. The principal industry
here land indeed throughout the
county, is dalrying. In the town.
ship there are two creamerles and
seven cheese factories valued al
$4,000. These plants produce an.
nually 10000 lbs, of butter and
264, 900 of cheese. For the Sc pro-
ducts the patrons receive IN cash
$49,80 These figures are taken
from the certified statement of
the county clerk.
Stock raising Is an item that
must not be overlooked. Wayne
township reports 1892 milch cows
valued at S47,476. Neat cattle
2043-$34, 900. Horses 6l1-value
$38, 900 Sheep34S-$1047. Swine
1063-yalue S13, 400.
There is comparatively, very
little wheat raised in this county,
not any reported from Wayne
township. They don't SOW wheat
here any more because of the
chintz.bugs having become so de-
structlve to that crop. The corn
and rye are principally fed to the
COWS and hogs. The people here
are now busy harvesting their ice
they say it is about fifteen inches
thick on the river. l see q pecu-
liarity in all the western towns,
not only in small villages, but in
larger towns and cities. The
houses generally built separate
and apart from each other. Quite
com monty, there is room for a
garden between thehouses. Land
is plenty here, but not very cheap
Plenty of land here that could not
be bought under a hundred dol
lars per acre.
| believe | will not write more
now, l must take this to the Office.
Put it in the waste basket if you
think it is worthy oft.
Remem Der me kindly to every
body.
