IT WAS COLD

We have heard many complaints
about the present cold snap, but

in Nevada. Jan. 9 WAS a clear.
bright, sunny day, no wind, yet the
thermometer never got above 5
degrees below zero during the day.
Jan. IA. the thermometer never
got above zero. though the day

On the morning of January Is,
1888, the spirit thermometer in
Mr.. Muller's brick drugstore
registered 81 degrees below zero.
AS we remember the dates.
January 10Th was Sunday. Dur.
ing the following week, the
weather was intensely cold, the
thermometers registering from
30 to 40 degrees below zero.
A remarkable thing aboIt that
intensely cold spell was that the

A FOOLISH SWINE

A North Missouri farmer. whose
hog was killed by a train, wrote
to the company's claim agent for
a settlement, says a writer in the
Columbia Statesman. He penned
his communication thus. Dear
Sir: My razor back strollcd down
YOUR track a week ago today. Your
twenty-nine came down the line
and snuffed his life away. You
can't blame me, the hog. you see,
slipped thru a cattle gate; so
kindly pen a check for ten, the
debt to liquidate. He received
the following reply: "Old twenty
nine came down the line and killed
your hog, we know, but razor
backs on railroad tracks quite
often meet with woe. Therefore,
my friend, we cannot send the
check for which you pine. Just

NEW FORAGE PLANT

Spokane dispatch of the 2nd
says that a new kind Of clover.
said by those who have expert
mented with it to produce many
tons of food to the acre, has been
discovered. The plant is a native
of Tillamook county, Oregon. and
is called a perennial clover. 1t is
a species of the alsike with the
aIsike values. 1t perpetuates
itself from node buds and bulbs
and has no bloom, flower, seed or
sex. 1t grows in winter as well
as in summer and frost does not
interfere with or stop its growth.
A sample of the clover was sent
to the department of agriculture
at Washington. d. c., and j. M.
Wcstgate. agronomist, writes
that it is one of the most interest
ing specimens that has come to the
attention Of the department..

Judge Langan announced in the
District Court yesterday morning
IN this city, tnat the probability
that the Receivers suit in the

come to an end by the end of
January, although there is, of
course, no certainty Of that fact.
But with the finishing of the cross
examination and redirect question
ing Of Receiver Wildes the plain
tiff in the action will rest its case.
This will probably not be a lengthy
operation as the questioning of
the receiver has been very exhaus-
tive to date. How much time the
