ESTABLISHED IN 1845.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1897.

WILL BEXTERRIFIC.

So_Says IM'opliol Foster of the Wcatlitir in February, March and April.

A high barometer and short, sharp change to colder need not surprise be fore the development of the 6torm period which will 6how itself in the far western sections by the 3d or 4th of February. This period is central •on the 4th, extending to the 7th. Beginning as early, perhaps, as the 3d in the extreme West, falling barometer and storms of rain, sleet and snow will pass eastward over the country during the 4 th, 5th and Gth. A cold wave will appear promptly behind the storms, following them closely across the country and reaching the Atlantic about the Gth to Sth.

The Mercury period being central on the Sth, covering the 4th to 12th, much cloudy, sleety, disagreeable weather will most likely prevail throughout that period. Blizzards are very common at the Mercury periods in the North at this season, with destructive sleet storms along their centers and on their southern tangents. About ths nth to 12th falls a reactionary period, in which heavy rain, sleet and snow will likely fall, a cold wave bringing up the rear and lasting in its eastward progress until the 14th. A regular storm period is central on the 15th, and warmer weather will begin to the west by that date.

Very active storms ending in blizzards and very cold waves may reasonably be looked for on and touching the 10th and 17th, also about the 21st and 22d. Much unsettled weather vand some dangerous storms, on land and sea will prevail generally during 'the last half of February. The month •-closes in the midst of a regular storm ^period, hence, warmer weather, 'low barometer, and rain, turning in north 'and west to snow, will be in progress j.it the end of February.

The central and southern parts of •our country will have their worst winder weather in February and March. The deepest snows and much of the ^worst weather will fall as late as the middle of March, and much unseasonable weather will prevail until after .the full moon in April. The indications are that April will bring an un-r.-jsual amount of rain and some violent .storms.

A Surprise Dinner.

"Monday, Feb. 1, being the fortyfourth birthday of Mrs. Annie Linn a --surprise and dinner was planned for her. It was a success in both particulars and the following gentlemen with their wives and families were present: W. C. Loop, Isaac Peterson,

Arm Broken.

Tuesday afternoon Mrs. M. E. Robinson met with quite a painful accident at her home on west Jefferson street. She was standing on a chair in the pantry placing some papers on •a shelf when she lost her balance and fell. She was so unfortunate as to break her arm besides sustainingsome •oainful bruises.
