|STATE WEATHER LAST
| Year Was VERY POOR
MOST UNAVOIDABLE CONDITION
SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF SERVICE.
Average Temperature for 1910 was
Above Normal and Average Preei
patton Below Normal.

By far the most unfavorable wealth
err conditions that ever prevailed IN
North Dakota since the establishment
of the Chronological service in 1897
were recorded during the year of 1910.
The average temperature recorded
was was never exceeded, and but
once equalled. The precipitation
was the least ever decorded in the
state. There was more than the
usual sunshine. In addition to ad-
verse temperature and precipitation
conditions, hot, dry winds prevailed
at critical periods during the growing
season.
The average temperature for the
state for the year was 41.O degrees,
or 2.3 degrees above the normal. EV-
cry station in the state recorded an
excess in temperature. The greatest
departure from the normal occurred
in eastern portions Of the state, and
the least in the western portion. AN
odd feature in connection with the
recording of the highest and lowest
temperature is that Medora, Billings
county, has the distinction of having
the highest and lowest temperatures
recorded in the state. The highest
temperature was ia degrees, on July
Is, and the lowest was so degrees
on February IS. During the previous
years lower temperatures than -oo
degrees have been recorded IN the
state, but never has higher temper
allure than ia degrees been recorded.
In 1900 the average temperature for
the state was exactly the same as
during 1910, and during that year
temperature of ia degrees was re-
corded. The highest mean temper
AZURE recorded was 49.7 degrees, at
Haley, Bowman county; the lowest
was 37.5 degrees at Melville, Foster
county. The temperature averaged
above normal during the months OF
January, March, April, June, July and
October, and below the normal during
February, May, August, September,
November and December.
The average precipitation for the
state was 1924 inches, or $50 be-
low the normal. The nearest approach
to this low average was 1883 inches
in 1907. All stations but one showed
averages below the normal, the ex-
ception being Medora, Billings county.
The heaviest precipitation occurred
in the southwestern part of the state, !
Haley, Bowman county, recording !
1909 inches. McHenry, in northeast !
ern Foster county, recorded the least
7.65 inches. Precipitation
above the normal occurred during
February, March and September, and
below the normal during January,
April, May, June, July, August, o.
tober, November and December. The |
average depth of nowfall was 21.S |
inches. The average number of rays |
with O.O1 inch or more of precipita-
ton was So. There was an average
Of 1870 clear days, 80 partly cloudy
days and SO cloudy days. The pre-
vailing direction of the wind was
northwest.

der the warrant of attachment issued
in the proceedings and contempt here
in. 1882, the fees of the clerk of the
district court of Kidder county and all
fees rendered in said proceedings and
contempt, and any payment made by
the county of Kidder for any expense
or costs occasioned by said proceedings
and mandamus of the said contempt

THAT in default of the payment of
said indemnity and costs and expenses
in full. the said F. f. Russ and H.
Crawford be committed to the Jail of
said kiddcr county until the said in
demnity in the sums hereinbefore set
forth be paid as ordered"
After rendering Judgment, it is said
that the court stated that if the parties
in the case would reach an agreement,
he would suspend sentence, and after
conference the county commissioners
who arc named as defendants agreed
to pay all of the costs which had been
incurred by the banks in bringing the
proceedings and also pay all costs
which might have been charged to the
taxpayers of Kidder county.
In all interview with representative
of the Tribune last evening, E. ]. Ray
mond, who is interested in the First
State bank of Dawson, said that the
action dated back to the first meeting
of the board of county commissioners
in January, when they opened bids from
banks desiring to be named as county
depositarics. There were four banks
who bid an equal amount, and under
the law, said Mr.. Raymond, all four
of these should have been named de-
positaries. On the first day the board
designated two Steele banks however,
and paid no attention to the banks at
Dawson and Tappen, who bid a like
amount of interest. The board being
still i'll session the following day,
Cashier C. A. Cross of the First State
bank of Dawson went to Steele to take
the matter up with the board.
when Mr. Cross first reached Steele
and saw the commissioners. said Mr.. !
Raymond. "and showed them what the
law was in regard to the matter, they
were favorably inclined to appoint the
other two banks However, they went |
out and after they had talk with |
Storey and Miller. they came back and |
refused to appoint either the Tappen or
Dawson bank"
The Tappen State bank and the First
State bank of Dawson then took the
matter before the district court, and
on January % Judge Winchester issued |

fore retiring TO rest he would some
times call his attendants and say to
them: keep good lookout. I am
going to sleep tonight in this ROOM"
But he would invariably sleep some
where else.
On the roof Of the imperial apart
ments was an astronomical observa-
tory which had been fitted up with an
exceedingly good telescope by Pa
risian firm. This observatory was a
favorite place with the sultan, yet he
took not the slightest interest In as
tronomy. The telescope was there to
serve his own purpose Of espionage,
for he used it almost exclusively for
the purpose of watching the residence
Of Prince Yusuf lzzedin, eldest son OF
Abdul Aziz and heir presumptive to
the throne. Its glass was never turn
ed upon the heavens.
But sometimes from his lonely look
out the monarch saw stranger things
than the residence Of Prince Yusuf,
things that no other human being had
ever dreamed of. There were times
when his morbid imagination played
curious pranks with him.
1t was. on the day following an at
tempt upon his life by one Ali Souavi
and a revolt at Tcheragan, both Of
which incidents greatly upset him,
that Abdul Hamid hurried down from
his observatory with wild look in bis
eyes and called his first secretary, who
at that time was Ali Fuad Bey. He
led the secretary to window, and,
pointing to the sublime porte some
miles away. he said. trembling with
tear:
ibid you see them? They have met
Sonder to proclaim my downfall!"
"Who? asked the startled secretary.
my minister's" exclaimed the sui
tan. my own ministers are now In
the act Of dethroning me. Cant you
csc them?''
This statement was quite unfounded,
and it was a long time before the Sec
rotary could calm his frightened mas.

THE CHARLOTTE CoRDAY MODEL OF 1911.
DESIGNED BY WORTH AND PHOTOGRAPHED
IN PARIS BY HENRI MARTIN, WITH ARTISTS
SKETCHES OF THE REAL CHARLOTTE, FROM
FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
Char1otte's full name was Marie Anne Charlotte
Corday D'Armont. She was twenty-five when she
made her dramatic appearance In history. Her
youth had been passed In convent, where she read
Plutarch, Rousseau voltaire. Raynal and Corneille
Though Of titled family. she sympathzed ardent
ly with the revolutonists. until the fall OF the
Girondists ushered in the Terror. when she swung
to the other extreme
She admired Mr. Brutus of Rome, and decided
TO emulate his example her victim being Jean Paul
Marat degenerate and boodthirsty monster OF the
Terror She left her home at Caen went to Paris
bought knife and set out to save her country by
assassin nation. No one knew her plans.
On the morning of July ID, 1893, Marat asked
through his newspaper, the Ami du Peuple, for
100000 more heads That evening he sat in his
soaked himself for years without either whitening
his soul or helping the loathsome disease from
which he suffered A knock at the door.
Come I'M" cried Jean Paul. not even drying his
feet
charlotte Corday entered and pretended to tell
Marat of new victims for his blood thirst He bent
To write down the names. Charlotte crept closer
and drove her knife between his ribs straight
through the heart
Hoping to end tyranny, she only made Marat a
popular hero by his death. Marat would have died
within a few days. anyhow, they say IL left to his
disease. Charlotte had planned to stab him at the
convention, highly dramatic setting worthy Of
her superb natural qualities as an actress. She
narrowly escaped death at the hands OF infurat-
ed street mob was dragged to jail, quickly tried
and beheaded. Thereby Marats friends made
mistake, for Charlotte in turn became the popular
idol--and thus set our styles In 1911.
Charlotte's story has been embellshed with
dash OF romance to the effect that she killed Marat
TO avenge the death OF her lover. NJ. Belsunce.
officer of the garrison al caen. But this Charlotte
denied.
Mile Charlottes features were regular and beau
tiful Her face gave oval setting TO blue eyes
and light-brown hair. She was graceful of medium
height, and well proportioned.
