The Grau drug store in Denison has

This is another fine example of the

Weather changes are heralded

Cyclo.stormograph is delicate weigh

of the weather as regards it's weight,
in exactly the same way as the fever
thermometer foretells fever by a
change in the temperature of the

When the weather is in balance"
the stormograph will trace a straight
line on its chart, when the weather

THE WINTER
OF 1842-43
Unusual Severity Of Winter Just
Drawing to Close Brings Forth
Many "reminiscences.
SNOW FOOT DEEP ALL WINTER
Ninth Of November, 1912 and 1S43,
Occurred Great Snow FaII-laid
Until Following April.

The unusual severity of the winter
which is just drawing to close has
brought forth many "reminiscences
from the early settlers. In one of the
publications of the State Historical
Society of Iowa there is the following
account of the winter of 1S42-1S43,
written by an Iowa pioneer:
"The winter of 1912 and 1S43 is
noted as the cold winter. Snow about
a foot deep fell on the night of the
ninth of November, most of which lay
on the ground till the next April. Dur
ing most of the winter the snow was
from two to four feet deep, and great
portion of the time the thermometer
was about 20 degrees below zero. The
Mississippi river was frozen as low
down as FIT. Madison, so that they
crossed over with teams on the ice
till after the first of April. In the
spring when the snow melted away
on the prairies, it did not go OFF on
the roads till long after it I'd disap-
peared in places where it had been
tramped Where there had been a
beaten path there was a solid bank of
snow or ice from two to four feet
high, which looked as If some one had
attempted to fence up the lands

Legislature Believes in Efficiency.

Iowa legislators are not behind the
times in their interest in efficiency.
They believe in conducting the bust
ness of law making in an orderly, in
telligent manner. The legislature has
always been governed by rules of it's
own adoption. But this year the Thir-
ty-seventh General Assembly took one
step further. BY concurrent resolu-
ton it was ordered that an "Iowa Man.
ual Of Legislative Procedure" should
be compiled under the direction Of the
superintendent of the State Historical
Society of Iowa. This order has been
carried out and each member of the
Iowa legislature now has In his pos
session a copy of volume, which it
is believed is the first book of it's kind
published for the use of any state leg
islature. In many respects it resem-
bles the manual used by the house Of
representatives of congress.
The new Iowa manual is book of
about two hundred and twenty pages.
In addition to the standing rules of
the two houses and the joint rules, it
contains a detailed digest of legis-
lative procedure and practice in Iowa,
which supplements the rules by ex-
planning just how each rule is applied
in actual operation. An index makes
it possible to turn quickly to any rule
OF any information which may be de-
sired.

so show a falling line for warmer
weather and an upward line for cooler
weather. The greater the fall or rise,
the greater will be the change in that
direction.
Mans protection against the wealth
er Is in the prediction of it beforehand.
All OF the great storms which sweep
this country CASUALLY through the fall

hours in advance on the Clclo.stormo-
graph. ~ 49, >
Some storms indicated on the instru-
ment are. diverted in their travel and
pass north, east, south or west of the
town. No one is disappointed at not
having severe storm. for it is far
better to be warned of a storm and
not set it than not to be warned and
get it. A., ~, -. On,
In the Omaha tornado of 1918, $50
buildings were completely wrecked,
1923 houses We're damaged, 100 lives
were lost in and around the city, 355
persons were seriously injured, IL
churches and 8 schools were destroyed.
Evidences of severe weather
change We're indicated by the stormo-
graph fully day ahead of time, and
whilst it could not have been prevent
ed, steps to protect property and lives
could have been taken long before the
storm arrived, if heed had been taken
Of the indications of the instrument.
The hurricanes of last August in
Houston, and Of September in New Or
leans, were heralded many hours in
advance and in each instance special
messengers were dispatched, advising
people in outlying districts of the dan
ger ahead. BY this means many thous-
ands of lives were saved. ...

There is so much opposition that now the necessity of spbmittil2 the results of the convention to a popular referendum is much de- bated in the papers.
 The supporters of Redmond and the Irish parliamentary party con, tend that this might result in un- doing what the convention will Go. Sir Thomas Plunkett who is presid- ing over the convention insists that
