MARCH WEATHER FORECAST.

The weather is beginning to get on
the nerves of good many people. All
local prophets have given up predict
ing in disgust. The oldest inhabitant
is flabbergasted. He never saw any
thing like it before. The only ones
who have been any where near right
are the Gloomy Gusses who always
expect the worst Yet everybody is
eager for some advance information
that may be considered dependable. A
faithful student of Hicks Almanac de.
clares that The Saint Louis Weather
Book has been right in its forecasts
throughout the year and he is cOnvinc-
ed that this prognosticator will prove
itself correct throughout the balance
Of the year.
Taking his word for it, we summar-
ize what this book says March holds
in store for us, but disclaim any re-
sponsibility for the results. To begin
with it says that the first storm per.
iOd for March runs through the lth.
9Th and 9Th. Indications are that the
storm will not be serious and mOder-
ately cold weather Will follow The
second storm period runs through the
Sth and 18th inclusive. Earthquakes
may be expected, and the eastern parts
will bear the brunt of the storm. On
the 18th, 18th and 18th comes reac-
tionary storm period The fourth
storm period is from the Goth to the
23rd. The last storm period for the
month will run through the 26th, 9th
and 2sth. "The last day of March Is
the first day of a regular storm period
but storm causes will probably not get
in their work sufficiently to be noticed
before we enter April" Assurance Of
good weather in May is given. Our
readers can have what comfort they
may gain out Of this. March IS month
that ought to be removed from the
calendar anyway.

10. 1t was previously advertised for
March 3.
There will be whole evening Of
fun. The program consists Of two
plays, 'Embalming Ebenezer," His
Model Wife" and musical number
"Embalming Ebenezer' is a negro
play, with one long laugh. Horace, be-
ing broke, borrows Ebenezer's last
two quatahs" and takes out an in
surance policy on Ebenezer's life in
favor of himself Naturally the in
sured man is reluctant to die in order
that the beneficiary may collect the
money, but since the doctor calls to
examine the corpse he must pretend
to be dead. The doctor somehow gets
Ebenezer and Horace mixed and Ebe-
nezer pulls his freight with the money
after being embalmed.

ton of Mother Goose rhymes. This
number holds a special charm for
both old and young.

certainly swooped down upon the
community with mighty kerwollop
and within twenty-four hours laid
low half a hundred or more. 1t would

of the sick ones. DR.. Effner came
over from Oroville and made the
rounds in systematic manner. and
later DR.. Bevis was pressed into SER
vice from various quarters. Thanks
TO a number of Good Samaritans, the

vANDALS BREAK INSULATORS.

Heavy expense to the Okanogan VAL
ley Power Company and serious inter-
rution to the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph long distance service
through the valley has been caused
recently by the action Of vandals in
breaking with gun fire the big power
line insulators. These insulators are
expensive pieces Of equipment. When
broken the current is grounded and
invariably telephone service is badly
affected or entirely interrupted. Last
week power had to be shut off from
the down valley line while employees
Of the company sought the source of
trouble. Phone service was practically
cut off until the trouble could be To-
Gated and corrected. 1t was found that
an insulator had been broken by a
rifle or revolver bullet Vandalism Of
this kind is a crime in the. eyes of the
law and the perpetrator is subject to
both fine and Imprisonment

that operations are to be resumed in
force March s. Mr.. Barman formerly
lived at Loomis and worked in many
of the mines OF that district for years.

Montana. which is in the famous Cat
Creek country, was visitor in OrO-
Vile Tuesday. Mr.. Weiglenda is on his
way to the coast and came up into this
valley to visit for few days with a
friend at Tonasket. Mr.. Weiglenda said
that the new oil strike reported the
first of the week at Buffalo in the Cat
Creek country is important in that it
proves that the field is more extensive
than had been previously established.
Operations in the district, however,
have been practically at standstill
this winter because of the intense cold
and the depth of snow.

FLOMATON Man
IS HELD HERE
Attempts to Get Money On
Cashiers Check Alleged
to Be Worthless

Attempting to obtain money on a
cashiers check for 1885 when he did
not have, it was alleged, a proper &C
count with the Bank of Flomaton to
cover the amount, c. A. McNeace, of
Flomaton, was arrested by Sheriff Ell
lis yesterday on a warrant charging
him with being fugitive from justice
and for embezzlement.
McNeace presented the cashiers
check on the Bank of Flomaton at the
local bank to obtain the money. A
short intentional delay, followed, and
the cashier was informed that Nc
Neace's account was not good at
Flomaton. He maintained, however,
that it was.
According to Sheriff Ellis, McNeace
had deposited a sight draft from an
Indiana bank with the Flomaton bank
and began drawing on it at once. The
Flomaton bank, after the cashiers
check had been issued received no
tice from the Indiana institution that
McNeace's account had been closed
there.
McNeace was being held last night
pending orders from the sheriff of the
Alabama county.
