THE RAINFA ALL
FOR JANUARY
And February Breaks
All Records.
The Nearest Approach to It Was in
Eighteen Hundred and Seventy
Four With Eleven and Nineteen
Hundreths Inches.

According to the weather report
made by DR.. W. E. Day, official
weather observer, for Prescott, the
months of January and February this
year has eclipsed all previous records
since a weather report has been taken
here, which dates back to 1860 OF for
ty years ago. Never in that period has
the rainfall for the two months been
as great as this year.
DIR. Day reports the rainfall for the
two months as 1913 inches, the rainfall
for January amounting to 4.6 inches
ana in February a. inches. The
nearest approach to this since 1860 was
in 1874 when the January rainfall
amounted to 5.51 inches and Febru-
airy produced 5.6S inches, or total
for the two months of 11.l9.
A great many people are possessed
of the opinion that the years 1890,
when the Walnut Grove dam went out
and 1891 when larger floods occurred
in the streams of Arizona we're phe
nomenal years for rainfall during the
months of January and February.
Such, however, was not the case. The
storms which caused the floods of
those two years were very heavy but
each was of short duration. The rain
fall in January for 1890 was ,. % inch
es and in February of the same year,
was BOZ inches or a total for the two
months of 5.3l inches. In 1891 there
was no rainfall whatever IN January
aad in February it amounted to 5.96
inches or over an inch less than this
month.
In January 1876 the rainfall amount
ed to 40 inches the same as this year.
The rainfall in 1856 was above the
normal for the two months being ia
inches of which 80 inches fell in
January and l.51 inches in Febru iry.
In 1895 4.37 inches fell in January
and in 1897 it amounted to i.G2 inches
but February was short each month.

Meets japanese Attack on Russians Left by
Counter Attack on japanese Left---Battle
RACES For Miles in Length.

Tuesday, indicated that a general pat
tie was beginning along the whole of
the one hundred miles front occupied
by the two armies.
General Kuropatkin appears to have
taken leaf out of Field Marshall
Oyama's book, and replied to General
Kuroki's attack on the Russian left by
counter attack on the japanese left,
in which General Kaulbar's initial
success was better for the Russians
than the success of Gen. Grippenberg,
the Russian vanguard being establish
ed at the very outskirts Of Sandiapu.
At the same time Kuropatkin deliv-
cred heavy blow against the japanese
center, seizing the railroad bridge
across the Shakhe river. These reports,
therefore, give a more hopeful aspect
to the situation, as the Russian army
is stopping at least for a moment,
the further advance of the japanese
to the eastward and have beaten their
attack on the center.
The effect of yesterdays develop
ments on Kuropatkin's reported inten-
ton to withdraw from the Shakhe
river is problematical.

INJURED
INNOCENCE

Ed. Journal Miner.-Dear Sir. II
have read the very, very worst that
the Herald can say about me, and my
brain has not whirled the least little
bit; my mental faculties remain in
tact and | still continue to breathe
freely. The tone of injured limo
cence suits the Herald pretty well,
but the truth of all have said has
been admitted in Fridays editorial.
The Herald owner has, like Reynard,
found himself in a hole, and cannot
see any other way of getting out of it
than by throwing dust in the eyes of
the people and adopting high and
mighty attitude. In the words of Ben
Jonson:
"Tis air he treads, And at each step
he feels his advanced head Knock out
star in heaven. "
1t would be a tremendous task to
follow Mr.. d. ID. through all his lit
reary mazes. He is anxious to Justify
himself before the public, and in do
ing so dives to Chary bdean depths, as
cends the hluey heights, travels from
zone to zone, and peers from time in
to eternity until metaphorically
"The increasing prospect tires our
wandering eyes:
Hills peep DER hills and Alps on Alps
arise.
l will endeavor to deal with his
Pharasaical expressions of brotherly
love, with the narrative which he I'M
folds of his kindness to me and
of the meek and humble way in which
he has always treated me and will be
as brief as possible.
When l came to the Herald, Mr.. Nc
Donald had two men engaged in liter
airy work, Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Jack

PRODUCTION Of
THE OPERETTA
Twins of BiStritz on
Friday.
An Accession Which Should Arouse
The Local Pride of Our Citizens
And Pack The EIks' Theatre.

Tickets for The Twins of Bistritz
company are now on sale at the Bris
ley Drug company. This beautiful
little operetta will be given on Friday
evening at the Elks' theatre. 1t is g
play which should be literally patron,
lied, in fact which should fill the the
atre as it will be the first theatrical
enter :ainment ever given in the town
which will be local in character in
every particular.
The operetta was composed by MIS-.
Nellie Won Grechten Smith, the music
was composed by her and the music
of the orchestra accompaniment, all is
of her composition.
Those who will be engaged in its
production are also all local music
ians, vocalists as we'll as those com
posing the orchestra. The operetta
will be given under the direction of
the composer, Mrs. Smith.
The composition of thi; operetta is
an accomplishment in which every
citizen should feel a pride and mani
fest it by their presence on the occa-
sion of its production Friday evening.
Important as the opening of the the
atre was this may be considered a
more important occasion. Any archi-
tect can design a building and me-
chanics can construct it according to
his plans and produce pleasing and
harmonious results. To plan play
and construct 1t so as to produce
pleasing harmony to the ear is much
greater accomplishment and the crea-
ton of Mrs. Smith is simply marve-
lous considering it was her first effort
in this direction.
Those who may not have any local
pride in having a musical artist in
our midst cannot fail to appreciate
the harmony of the production if their
ears are at all attuned to harmony.
1t is scarcely to be expected that
amateurs can bring out all the power
and beauty which it is capable of with
professionals, but after all it is fit
ting compliment 10 the author that
local talent should have the honor of
It's first production.
The music is catchy and interspers-
ID with beautiful melodies and it
should attract the largest audience
ever assembled in a local theatre.

Battling Nelson, of Chicago, defeated
young Corbett in nine rounds. The
Denver lad was saved from a knockout
by his seconds throwing up the sponge
when he had been battered into help

The man who defeated Terry Nc
Govern twice was no match for the
young Dane at any stage of the fight.
He seemed to lack speed, and fought
wildly at times. Rarely during the
fight he showed flashes of his old
form, Strengthening Nelson up with
right hand smashes to his face, but
failed to follow up any advantage he
might have had. He fought desperate
ly, realizing that be must win, to be
considered serious pugilistic factor,
while Nelson was cool and confident
at all times. A crowd of about five
thousand witnessed the battle. Nelson
was heavily backed to win at odds of
ten to eight.
Corbett had nothing to say about
his defeat.
