WEDNESDAY'S STOR3I A TERROR TO MAN AND BEAST. The worst storm of the year , if nut for a number of years , prevailed - ed in this section , all day Wednes- dY ; commencing at an early hour in the morning and continuing i until a late hour in the night. The terrific wind from the northwest blew the snow , sand and dust in blinding clouds all the while , and the mercury rapidly fell in the thermometer until at an early hour ou rhursda3 ' morning the lowest huint for a number of years was 1 tched-28 degrees below zero. ' Doubtless much suffering was entailed upon man and beast ; and the probabilities are that consider- alle : stock has perished , though up to the hour of going to press we have very meagre reports. Business - ness was practically suspended during the day , and time was devoted - voted exclusively to keeping warm. It was a terror with several sets of ugly horns. There is some talk of putting up a broom factory on the lot north of the electric light plant. The people of Red Willow coun- ! ; tv must help themselves first. Charity afterwards. GIRL MAKES $212.16 IA MONTH. 1 I read in your valuable paper how one of your subscribers made money in the plating business , but : I e.u beat that and I am only a girl. I sent and goc the new Gray Plater and cleared $212.16 in one month. Can any of your readers beat this ? You can get spoons , forks and jewrelry to plate at every house. ; Some big articles I sent and had plated at the factory. There is plenty of work to do in both city and country , and why should any person be poor and out of employment when such an opportunity - portunity is at hand. Anyone can get my plater by writing to Gray & Co. Plating Works , Columbus - lumbus , Ohio. They do all kinds of plating and will teach the art. My plater has a lathe , wheels , tools and materials for polishing- " a nice little workshop. I hope my experience will help otheis. The month of January was a little warmer and dryer than the average for the last twenty-five years , but the departure from normal - mal was so slight as to be hardly - worthy of remark. The lowest . mean temperature recorded was in 1886 , seven degrees above zero the highest , thirty-four degrees , came in 1880. The lowest precipitation - itation , .07 inches , came in 1879 ; I the highest , 2.11 inches , was in s . 1894. The mean temperature last month was nineteen degrees , and the precipitation .35 inches.-.Lin- cola Journal.

It should also publish an itemized statement - ment of the day's donations of cash and contributions of supplies of whatever nature and source. This much the people - ple demand , and if this reasonable and business-like requirement is much longer ignored the presumption will inevitably follow that the relief commission has something to conceal and that its methods - ods of doing business will not bear the light of day.-Omaha Bee.

FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR. ho Former Making Demands Upon the Latter Which May Cause a Fight. France has unquestionably decided upon another high handed outrage against a wel lt and helpless country , which apPpreutly has not even as many friendg as poor Siam , Myio de Vilers has gone to MatlagascaZ' prilctioally to demand the abdication of the government - ment and to annex the great and rich islands to the French domain. It remains - mains to be seen if the great powers , in- gluding the Uuitetl States , will permit the execution of this plan. The instruc tions given to the special emissary were nominally secret , but there is no doubt that the outlines given by the government - ment organs in Paris are substantially correct. The # ollowing are the chief points of the demand , with war as the penalty of refusal : The first is the revision of the treaty of 1885. The not that France's territory - tory at Diego Suarez shall be extended to Passandano bay , on the western side of Madagascar , and to Vohemar bay on the east ; that Iajunga and Nossi Be , on the west toast , and Fort Dauphin , Tamatave , Mauaboudro , Andovoran , to Foule Pointe awl Mauanara , on the eastern - ern shores , shall , with their adjacent territories , be ceded too France. Furthermore - more , that the French residents shall have the right to control all the actions of the Malagasy government , including its foreign policy and international ad- ministration. Opposition will be offered to what is described as the steady invasion by the Hovas of the territory of the Antakares. Then Myre de Vilers is to insist that the French be allowed to acquire prop. erty in the island instead of holding it on long leases. Likewise that they be empowered to claim concessions of mines , works and so on. Concessions for which foreigners may apply will only be granted after examination at the French residency. The French plenipotentiary - tentiary was also instructed to demand full compensation for his countrymen who have been victims of vexatious treatment on the part of the Hova gov- ernment. It is assumed , very naturally in Paris , that the Malagasy government will refuse thus to surrender all its powers - ers and independence to France , and so preparations are already making for a naval and military expedition on a large scale. The plan is to undertake this patriotic invasion two months hence , at a moment when , it is now feared , so cialistic discontent will threaten to assume - sume a dangerous phase in Paris.-Paris Letter. MADEMOISELLE WAS A MAN. An Interesting Case From Franco of Successful - cessful Masquerading as a Woman. People living in and near Gap , in the Upper Alps department , were recently startled by the sudden metamorphosis of a fine young woman into a full grown young man. Mlle. Laure Bernard , 24 years old , had for several years past very successfully managed an institution for the cure of stammering in speech. It appears that begaiemen , or stammering - ing , is prevalent in the region , so Mlle. Bernard was able to make nearly r2 , 000 at it in a few years. This money enabled her to live independently of her parents , who , however , are well off. One of her brothers recently died in the colonies , where he practiced as a physician. Au- other is a priest , and she , or rather he , for mademoiselle is now monsieur , has a sister who is a nun. The successful specialist in stammering cases was registered - istered at birth as a female child and grew up in petticoats. Lately , while studying medicine at Grenoble , Bernard fell deeply in love , discarded the petti coats , had the birth registration altered and married the girl who had smitten him by her charms. The ex mademoiselle - selle was also duly enrolled as a military - tary conscript and will have to serve in the contingent for the year 1895. It is said that Bernard , while passing as awoman acted the part to perfection , so far as wearing the clothes went. His features , however , were just a trifle harsh far a damsel , and his voice was occasionally gruff.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph. The Black Geyser of San Felipe. San Diego county now has a genuine geyser , about as near a thing to a volcano - cano as is to be found on American soil. The geyser was discovered last Wednesday - day in the canyon leading from Paul Santenais' ranch , on the San Felipe grant , to the Borega springs , and is at the edgeof the desert At thatpoint the desert wall , or "rim rock , " as it is called , is high and abrupt , inclosing the desert like the rim of a tub. San Felipe canyon cuts through this rim like a crevice or crack , which it undoubtedly is , in what was once a solid wall. The canyon is narrow , and the walls in places are 2 , 000 feet high. The geyser was discovered by two cattle herders , who were out looking for water for their stock , as about this time of year new springs appear in that re- gion. From the top of the canyon one of them dimly saw a spout of water and climbed down to investigate. He got to within 100 feet and stopped there. He did not want to go nearer. The ground around was boggy and was saturated with black water. In the center was a pulsating spring which at irregular periods - riods spouted a column of black water into the air from five to seven feet , the column being about a foot in diameter. He could not or did not ascertain whether the water was hot or cold. The overflow filled the floor of the canyon and rolled on in a black stream down toward the desert.-San Francisco Ex- aminer. A historical Mistake. In the September Forum Dr. George F. Shrady says that Dimsdale , a prominent - nent physician of London , was called to vaccinate the Empress Catherine II of Russia in 1762. There must be some mistakq here , for Jenner did not con firm his discovery in regard to thA pro. tective value of vaccination until 1796. -New York Tribune.
