STORMY MONTH
OF DECEMBER
WHAT WE MAY EXPECT IN THE
WEATHER LINE If MONTH
is NORMAL

Kind as the wearther man has been
to us for the last eight months, there
may be things doing in December, if
it follows the lines of Christmas
months we have had in the past
years.
From a retrospect of the 81 years
preceding this, we may expect an
average temperature of 81 degrees.
The warmest December in 81 years
was that in 1890, with temperature
Of 43 and the coolest was in 1898,
with an average of 20. Only once in
the last month of the year has the
thermometer been able to get as
high as 65 degrees and that was on
December 8, 1890. On the other hand,
the coolest day was on the 18th of the
month in 1898, when the mercury
shrank down to degrees below zero.
About 2.21 inches of rainfall may
be expected and there will probably
be IA days when more than .01 of an
inch falls, if the year is normal. In
1850 IfeTo was precipitation OI IA
inches the greatest of any December
on record. The least was in 1894,
when but 80 fell. On December 8
and 4, 1902, 1.37 inches of rain fell in
"a hours the best record for that length
Of time in the final month. Snow has
fallen freely in this month, the great
est amount in "a hours being on De-
cember 1, 1896, when SO inches fell.
There will probably be about three
clear days in the whole month. II
more will be partly cloudy and II
may be expected to be cloudy all day.
Winds should be from the south with
an average velocity of 81 miles per
hour. The highest wind known in the
month was December 80, 1891, when
a southwest wind tore through the city
at the rate of As miles an hour.
The above data is taken from OBJ
servations and is merely the averag-
ing of conditions of the past 81 years.

BURLESQuERs
HAVE TROUBLE
CHICAGO AROUSED BY HUMOR-
JUS IMITATION OF CLEAR
HOUSE CURRENCY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O-Upon recon-
mendation of the Clearing House as
ISOLATION, Mayor Busse will take steps
to suppress a vicious form of burlesque
currency that is being circulated in i'm
itation of clearing house checks. A
! number of frauds have been perpe-
trated with the spurious checks, and it
it the intention of the officials not only
to put stop to their circulation, but
to prosecute persons who have used
them for swindling purposes
Advertisements of a weekly paper
are printed on the back of some of the
fake checks, Endorsed by workers"
etc.
While not counterfeits or fOrgeries,
the checks bear a close resemblance
to the clearing house checks now in
currency throughout the city. In a
number of instances reported to the
bankers committee persons who failed
to examine the paper slips closely have
accepted them as money.
James B. Forgan, chairman of the
clearing house committee called the
attention of Mayor Busse to the frauds.
and asked that steps be taken to sup
press the nuisance and punish the Of
tenders. The mayor said he would in
struct Chief of Police Shippy to act at
once on the recommendation Members
Of the clearinghouse committee have
been investigating these alleged hui
morous checks for several DAYS. One
banker found a tobacconist who was
willing to accept one of them in pay
ment for a cigar, and who was tend
ering the change when the banker
pointed out the deception
The headings of three of the checks
selected at random are:

ton"

closely resembling the true certificates

Bringing Immigrants South.
Manufacturers Record.

It may be safely estimated that be-
tween 10000 and 200, 900 settlers have
been attracted to the South, and that
between 1000, 900 and 5000, 900 acres
of land have been bought by them dur
ing the past II months. This estimate
is based upon reports furnished by rep.
resentatives of leading railroads opera
ting principally in the South, and they
reveal most gratifying results OF the
practical work which the railroads are
doing In the cause of immigration to
the South. These results are, to a large
extent, cumulative, flowing from per-
sistent work carried on in some in
stances for 10 or Is years and promis.
ing ever greater records in the pear
future. They have been gained
through following different policies.
Some railroads have lands OF their own
which have been disposed of to settlers
of their own seeking or to agents work
ing in cooperation with them. Other
roads, not landholders, have directed
the newcomers to available homes
within their territory, and yet other
roads have combined industrial. up
