by the Lewis county grand jury last
week have been disposed Of in the
circuit court, one or two being dis

case, the defendant accepted a twen-
ty-five dollar fine and sixty days in
Jail very willingly as a settlement Of
the charge against him, and lighter
fines were assessed against others.
mostly for fighting. It is the purpose
of Prosecuting Attorney Bland to
have as many Of the cases tried as is
possible at the present term: Mon
day about seventy-five old indict-
ments were dismissed, the reason as
signed being that the getting Of suf-
ficient evidence was Impossible by
reason of the long time since the
indictments were found.

Repeating a Platform.

Prophecy is rot always swift Of iul-
fllment, even when sure, and prophecy
too close to the event is not prudent.
But as there is much in politics which
can not be surely dated, we prophsi
ed too close to the event the other day
in saying that " should yet see a
Democratic caucus in Congress, called
at the presidents dictation and acting
under his dictation, for the repeal Of
plank in the Baltimore platform. This
strange situation could be seen grow
ing out Of the presidents attitude or
the Panami Cana act exemptiug
American ships IN our coast trade from
the payment Of tolls. His opposition
to such an exemption led to the pres
sure which forced the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations to report
out for ratification a long pending arbi-
traiion treaty with Great Britain, which
the British had refused to ratily when
Secretary Knox proposed an exchange
Of ratiications as a n cans Of getting
the Panama question into an arbitra-
ton court. The British objection to
the pending treaty, for its possible use
in the Panama case, is that, as amend
ed by the Senate, il reserves to the
Senate the right Of passing upon the
arbitrableness Of all questions raised.
Mr.. Wilson had evidently overlooked
the pith Of tie British contention on
that point. Nothirg else can explain
his sudden following up Of the demand
for ratification with tie one for an alb
soluie repeal Of the exemption clsuse

Bryan's Ancient Grudge.

Mr. Bryan'5 denunciation Ct the
senatorial candidancy Of Roger c. Sui
livan cauied no surprise, despite the
Presidents recent declaration Of neu-
trality in the Illinois contest. The
Bryan Grudge against Sullivan is OF
long stand ding and great bitterness. On
one occasion Mr.. Bryan Ielt called
upon 10 use tle cable against Mr.. Sui
| liyan in fight which under genera
political rules, would have been deem,
ed too local to justify the Intervention
Of an outsider. But the Bryan editorial
in the current Commoner is the most
viirioiic thing the Newbraskan has ever
written about anybody.
One incident of the Baltimore con
vention occurred at such a time in the
night that little publicity was given 1t,
and the next day news came so thick
and fast that few took the trouble to
study what had gone before. The
ffly-eight votes Of Illinois obsyed the
Clark instructions through the forty
fourth ballot When the result Of that
ballot was announced it was discovered
that Wilson had began to loose and
Clark had begun to gain. Adj urn
ment was taken till morning. I'm
mediately the Illinois delegation went
into caucus and and its close the news
was circulated all through Baltimore
that on the forty fifth ballot the entire
Illinois vote would go to Wilson. The
fact was given to the press at l:50 in
the morning. This information pre-
vented an disintegration Of the Wilson
forces.
When Illinois was reached in the

roll call Of the kity-fhh ballot, the
fifty eight votes were switched from
the Clark to the Wilson column and
pandemonium reigned for a time.
Senator Baukhead OF Alabama was
stationed where he could look Mr..
Bryan squarely in the face. He is
quot d as having said that the Nsbrask
ans face was pale as a sheet and that
sweat beaded his brow. This may have
been the work OF the Alabaman' S imag-
nation, but he believed that it was a
fact. At the beginning of the forty
SIKH ballot Senator Bankhead Withdrew
the candidacy OF Mr. Underwood and
turned TO the Wilson column over 100
votes that had never before wavered
Senator Bankhead thought that he was
d1tC eating an aspiration Of Mr.. Bryan,
And, although a beautiful story was
told Of the pleadings Of a son OF Mr.
Sullivan for Mr Wilson, and Mr. Pin
deli oil Peoria has taken unto himself
some credit for the change, there Ia
,lgayS been a suspicion IN the par
)f unseDtmental observers that MT
sullivan likewise thought Ne was bury
ing the hopes OF his ancient enemy.
The time the switch was made and the
manner both support this theory, Mr.
Wilson has Fever intimated that he
suspected that the Sullivan support al
/ crisis in the convention was due less
70 love Of him than 10 hatred OF Mr.
Bryan. Bu, that Mr.. Bryan has al
ways believed that the Sullivan change
was due to the theory that it was q

How The Weather Bureau Forecasts
Storms, FrOStS, And Floods.

Many people have an idea that there
is something mysterious and occul
about the work OF the Weather Bureau
in lorecas,ing the coming Of storms,
frosts and foods. Not a few think that
the observers must necessarily get
their data by reading the planets, the
The stars, and the moon. AS matter
Of fact, the forecaster OF the bureau
Ioretells the coming Of disturbances in
business like way, very similar 10
that in which a man who has ordered
shipment of goods would estimate
the date Of its arrival.
Suppose business man had order
I'd a car load Of pineapples from the
Hawaiian Island. He would know the
average time it would take the steamer
to make the trip to the Pacific port,
the average time for unloading and
loading into refrigerator cars, and the
average number Of days to be allowed
these cars for their trip across the con
tinent to New York. His estimate,
however, would be subject to error be
cause the steamship might be delayed
by fog or the cars might meet with an
accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as a rule do
not originate in the United States. They
come 10 us, some from the Philippines
Japan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada, or the
Gu I OF Mexico. The Weather Bureau
gets cable, telegraphic. or wireless
notice Of a foreign storm. Station
after station, or vessel after vessel re-
ports the storms arrival in its neighbor
hood, SO that the general direction and
rate of progress can be determined
very early. In TACT the arrival Of some
storms can be loretod 10 days IN ad
vance.
The lorecaster watches for the region
Of low barometer which is the storm
center around which the winds blow.
This whirl or eddy moves bodily
forward with the general eastward drift
Of about $50 miles a day in our llti
tudes. The loreca,ter determines the
direction Of movement Of the storm
and its velocity
When weather disturbances are re
ported, the forecastsrs know from ex
perience about how long it takes them
to reach our Pacific coast, and then
how long after they will reach the
Atlantic coast. For example, il a
storm coming from Siberia drifts east
ward around the North Pole and reap
pears in Alaska, it should appear in
Washington and Oregon in about two
days; should get to the Great Lakes in
six days and to the Atlantic coast in
seven or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them rom the straight
track, just as reirigator car may be
thrown off its schedule or be shipped
by accident on a wrong road. Some
Of these storms deplete themselves By
running into regions Of high baron

Only a SnOWstuim.

While we are having our little Alury
OF winter weather here the other day,
other parts of the county were having
more OF it. The Globe Democrat un-
der the heading above gives the fol
lowing account Of it. They had more
than foot Of snow on level and a
temperature below zero for more than
twenty-four hour:
"A further drop Of 10 degrees might
have given St. Louis blizzard instead
OF snowstorm. Among the words
most lightly used in our vernacular,
"blizzard"is is one OF the most conspi'
cious. They must be few in this or
any other great city, who have expert
enced blizzard, and felt, in the mar
row Of their bones, its deadly blow.
With the necessary room and wide
open srace, there can be blizzards i'll
great pJairies, with snowstolm at only
20 degrees or thereabouts. But such a
snowstorm, at such a temperature,
would not rightly be called a blizzarC
in great center Of population, with
its canyon-like streets and its great
buffers Of buildings.
But more than foot Of snow on the
level, in the early morning, with drifts
twn or three times as deep, will serve
for metropolitians, all the practical uses
OF blizzard. Though not to be seen
coming over infni,udes Of open space
and though not striking as with ths
hand OF death, and the shrill screams
of demons, still, like Mercutio's wound
It's enough; twill serve" Let he who
imagines himself suffering, growl at the
street car company. They have been
doing we'll under the circumstances,
but the man who has never had state
OF war with the elements dosen't know
how we'll they have been doing, and
he growls, growls, growls, He is the
one who calls this a bljzzlrd. We
have ourselves criticised the United
for sins of omission and Of comission
when conditions were normal. Bu'
these conditions are wholly usual and
worse still, caught all Of US mapping.
And there is a saying about a very un.
popular parsonage who is entitled to
his due when he earns it. The Uni
ted has been earning thanks.
Think what il must be in Medicine
Hat, and console yourselves by com
parison. But we take it that even
when the mercury drops to the bottom
Of the bulb it is hard to have blizzard
there. A blizzard must have elbow
room, and the Hat lies in a depression
which is almost a hole, People could
not live there if it stood in the open,
or, at least, they wouldn't. The biz
yards can and do rage around it, but
the town has its natural barriers, as ST
Louis has its artificial ones. There are
billiards in the great plains north Of
Canadian town, and there are billiards
in the great prairies east and west
St. Louis, but neither this city nor the
town on the Canadian Pacific Railroad
has had blizzard this winter This is
not blizzard. 1t is only snowstorm
and it will wash the fetid air oian over
warm winter of many Of its accumu
lated impurities"

Nine Out Of Ten "SiCk" Hogs Have Hog
Cholera.

The Department Of Agriculture i
in receipt of frequent inquiries con
ceTning methods for distinguishing hog
cholera from the other swine diseases.
The specialists in hog cholera invesli-
cations answer these inquiries as fol.
lows:
Although at first thought this mat
ter Of diagnosis appears 10 be Of prime
importance, in reality il is not so i'm
portant or so difficult as it seems. Ii
is estimated that at least 90 per cent
Of all deaths Of hogs from disease in
the United States are caused by hog
cholera. Therefore in the case Of any
fatal outbreak the chances are about
nine to one that the cause is hog
cholera II is true that other infect
ions may and do frequently romplicate
outbreaks of hog cholera, but in such
cases the germ Of hog cholera is the
primary cause Of the disease; and if we
can take cafe OF the germ Of hog chol-
era the pig will usually overcome the
other infections himself
The symptoms exhibited by hogs
sick Of hog cholera are not sufficiently
distinct from those produced by other
maladies, so that positive diagnosis
can be made only through a careful
consideration OF a number OF other
factors in connection with the symp-
toms. From practical standpoint the
important thing is to recognize hog
cholera as soon as possible after its ap'
pearance in a herd in order that anti
hog cholera serum may be applied be
fore the disease progress too far.
Good serum may be depended upon to
protect we'll hogs, and even to cure a
large percentage Of those in the earliest
stage Of the disease, out it will not be
Of much avail when used upon hog:
that are already yisibly sick.
The following suggestions to farmer:
are offered as an aid TO the early
recognition Of hog cholera in a herd
/. Keep posted concerning the
condition and health Of hogs on oIhei
farms lin your neighborhood. Sick
hogs en- a neighboring farm are a posi-
tive menance, for the germs OF hog
cholera are easily carried on the feet o
men or animals.
