WEATUCR FORECASTS
Furnished Expressly for The
Chief for Webster County
CopyrlRlitea Uy W. T. Foster.
St. Josipii, Mo, March 30.-M
last bulletin gavo forecasts of the
storm waves to crois the continent
from March 30th to April 3d and
from April 4th to 8th. The next will
leaeh the Paoifio coast about tho 8th,
oross tho western mountains by nlosr
of the 10th, tho great central valleys
from 11th to 13th, and tho eaitcrn
tates about tho 14th.
This will bo the seventh and last of
tho predicted severe storms to ooour
from Maroh 7th to April 14th. but it
will not end the dangerous storms of
1894. Enough destruction has come
from tornadoes, floods, high winds,
hail, blizzards and lightning since
Maroh Cth to justify the warnings snt
out in these bulletins, and if tho
care for truth the newspapers that
have ridiouled that special long range
fereoast would acknowledge their own
errors in trying te prejudice the publio
gainst those bulletins.
The warm wave will cress the west
ern mountains about the 9th, the great
central valleys about the 11th, and
the eastern states about tho 13th. The
eool wto will oi oss the western moun
tains about tho 12th,-tho great c0ntrl
valleys about the 14th, and the cast
ers states about the lGtb.
DANGEROUS STORMS.
The tornado will be a subjeot of
much interest during 1894 and a fow
authentio facts as to their habits,
number and the localities frequented
by them are now in demand.
Tornado is tho correot term to apply
to the destructive twisters, and the
word "oy-olono" should never be used
in newspaper articles, for tho reason
that it ia a iciontifio term that, in
ninety-aino oases out of a hundred,
has no referenco to the tornado or
"twister," and very scldem indicatos h
term of any considerable force. The
ordinary storm waves and nearly all
our rain storms are the effects of cy
clones in whioh tho wind force seldom
goes abovo torty miles an hour.
When wo uso tho word tornado
everybody knows precisely what is
meant.
The reports of tornadoes at a dis
tance do not have the terrifying effect
they did a lew yeurs ago, but when
these awful convulsions of the ele
ments are once witnessed they are
fastened to the memory with such
dreadful fureu that no effort oan efface
its horrors from the mind. Tho de
truotive violence of the tornado ex
ceeds all other convulsions nf tho at
mosphere, and is onlt surpassed in
grandeur b tlu inure terrifying earth
quake.
Tornadoes are nativo produois of
North America and more particularly
f the United States. No other ooun
try on eaub is so severely scourged b;
tbem and no part of this oountry is
wholly exompt from them. In the vi
oinity of the Rooky mountains and
WBBt ef tbem, and in the high lands
of the Alleghanies, teruadota are les
frequent than in other part? of the
oountry.
The leading authority on tornadoes,
LUutenant Finley, says: "The pop
ulous regions of the United States are
forever doomed to tho devastation of
the tornado. As certain as that night
follows day is the coming of the funnel-shaped
oloud. So lent; as tho sun
ahinea upon the vast regions in the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys, there
will forever oocur those atmosphoric
conditions which terminate in tho des
tructive violence of the tornado."
Not only these valleys, but all the
Gulf aid Atlantis states, from Main
'Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty," and One Dollar a year is
to Mexico, arc tho homes of these des
troyers. Storms entering tho United States
from and west of Manitoba, then pats-.

tho takes, suffect ternadotn in Kan
sas, Missouri, Illinois, etc., acoording
to their looation and the season of tho
year. From December to Maroh,
south and east of Kentucky; April to
June, from Colorado to Kansas and
Texas; Juno to August, north and
west of Kentuoky; August to Novem
ber, Pennsylvania and the country
north and cast of that state. Thoy
aro not rigidly confined to thoso times
and places, but these are th genoral
rules of their habits.
Probably not one in ten of rcoeat
tornadoes havo been recorded, but the

up to and inoluding 1187, are given

Clilrago Tribune IMltcrlal. March 20.
Thoro was a big storm Saturday
night in the southern portion of tho
United States. A tolegram from
Northview, in north-eastern Texas,
gtyes a long list of casualties, and
states that hailstones fell thero weigh
ing from fourteen to cightoon ounces.
Several persons wcro killed and many
animals, whilo a railroad train narrow
ly escaped, beinc just outside the
swcp of tho tornado. Rains oounty,
a little to tho north-west of Lnngvirw,
was similarly visited, tho track of the
storm being about 100 yards wide, and
leaving behind It a largo number of
killed and wounded. The storm, or
another, struck Lnwrcnceville, Ga.,
and Memphis was visited by a doing'
of rain, with a most intsnso cicatrical
display. ,
Those who are curious in such mat
tors may compare tho reports of theer
disastora with the prediction made
Maroh 10 by W. T. Foster of St. Jos
eph, Mo., in the following language;
'Tho next storm will reach tho Paoili
onast about tlin 17th. ernsa the West
crn mountains by the olflsftftiSnrn018, 'Nf'"" t WaBh
the gre.atj;c tttrafvallcys from 19th to
21st, and the Eastern States about the
22d. This storm will bo of wide ox
tent, a dangerous storm, especially if
and east of tho Mississippi Valloy "
He added that a warm wavo would
ornsi tho Western mountains about
tho 20th, and the groat central vallojs
about tho 22d. "Tho cool wavo will
bo most sevcro in tho great cental
valleys about the 21st or 22d, and will
caujo blizzards, iu some places."
Tho latter part of the prediction
has yet to be tested by tho facts, but
tho former part would socm to have
been as nearly right as a bcliover in
tho theory would expect, and suffi
oiently so to have Mr. Foster claim it a
a fulfillment of tho prediction. Then
wasthes'orm, wido enough, "in all
aonioienoe," and for tho warm wav
it can be testifiod to by many thous
ands who fairly swoltsrcd under thi
heat so unusual for this timo of the
year.
If Mr. Fester can do what he claims,
the world will acecpt his work and his
forecasts as heartily as St. Clair did
the dinner's cooked by Aunt Dinah,
though he could not watch tho process
of preparing them without losing hi?
appstito. '
A Predicted Blizzard.
(Chicago Tuibune EnncnmL, March. 22)
Tho Tribune of Tuesday last quoted
certain weathor prophecies by W. Fob
tor of St. Joseph Mp., mudo public tho
10th of this month. Thoy woro that a
warm wave would cross tho western
mountains nboui tho 20th, and tho groat
contra! valleys about tho 22, this to bo
followed by a cold wavo. Of tho latter
ho wroto: " It will be most eovoro he tho
groat central valleys about tho 21st or
22d and will cause blizzards in somo
places". No ono will disputo the claim
that we had tho warm wavo as nearly
on time as nood havo boon expected, and
tho telegram of ostordny from tho West
toll of the blizzard foaturo as in progress
thero Tuesday, co-incidently with tho
passage of the sun through the vernal
equinox,
So far as roportod tho storm was most
eovoro in tho Black Hills region and
around it in Wyoming, South Dakota,
and Nebraska extonding south as far as
Donvor. In Wyoming it is stated to bo
ono of the worst bllzzardu over oxpcf.
ionced in that section, and in Nebruska
as tho worst of "this winter" moaning
any tinio within tho last six months.
The visitation was uttorly unexpootod
and caught tne people unproparcd for it.
Tho loss of rango cattle is estimated to
have been in somo places as much as 75
per cent. K this be a largo overstate
mnt of tho facta it still will justify tho

Prophetic Words of Blaine., ,,
"I lsvo my country and my country
men. I am an American, and I ro
joico overy day of my lifo that I am
I enjoy tho gonorul prosperity of my
country, and I know that the working
men of this land aro tho best paid, the
best fed, and tho best clothed of any
laborers on tho face of tho earth,
Many of them havo hemos of their
own. Thoy aro surrounded by all the
comforts of and many of tho luxuries
of life. I shudder, however, at the
thought that tho timo must come
when all this will bo changed, when
tho general prosperity of body of
workingmon in tho land, who aro now
so prosperous, will hoar their wives
and children ory for bread; that the
day must como when tho factories and
manufactories of lifo and activity
i hero will bo the silence of tho tomb.
And the roason why this must bo is
this: .Tho great Southern wing of the
Democratic party aro determined te
establish tho dootrino of free trado
in this land. Thoy will bo assisted
by thoir Northern allies. There is a
threat body of visionary, but educated
men, who aro now employed day by
day in writing free trado essays and
arguments in favor of the doctrine
which find their way to every news
paper in this land. Tho groat bedy
of our pcoplo havo novcr experienced
themselves tho suferings which always
result whom the protective principles
are laid aside. Poisoned and excited
by tho wihl statements of these writ
ers and tho domagogia appeals of tho
Dcmocratis speakers, tho result will
bo that in the very near future theso
forces whioh aro now working will be
strong enough to defeat at the polls
tho party advooating tho dootrino of
protection. It must inevitably follow
that uncertainty and doubt will ensue.
Tho buisness-men of tho oountry, fear
ing the destruction of the principles of
protection, will deoline to engago in
business, consequently mills will be
thrown out of employment. The
people will then'ace as thoy havo nbvsr
seen beloro that they oannot ho pros
perous and havo work while this prin
ciple is threatened. In the midst of
1 their lufferiiga they will learn that

tho only way they can bo prosperous
and happy is to vote for tho party
that has built up tho industries by
which thoy havo gainod a livelihood
becauso they will then sco clearly
that when tho manufactory is shut
down thoro is no domand for tho only
thing which thoy havo to sell, and
that is their labor."
When Mr. UUino used this Ian
guago tho Republican party wis still
in power and tho preteotivo polioy was
in oiTcotivo force. It looked to many
as if nothing oould throw down tho
country from the pinnaolo of prosper
ity on which it stood. Ho foresaw,
however, the approaching union of nil
too elements whioh favorod free trade
and were opposed to protootlon. The
result of tho clcotion of 1892 is evid
onco of his clear-sightedness. The
Democrats oarricd it, and they did so
for tho reasons sot forth by Mr.
Blaino,
Tho oondition of tho oountry at
this moment bears testimony to his
ability to read the future. That whioh
ho prodiiited would coma as tho result
of a frco ttado victory is here. Tho
faotorics arc shut. The workmon and
their families ar9 suffering, Prospor-
ity has Hod aud bitter, urgent want
has taken its plnoo. a no' piDpS
have eaten of the Doad Sea apples of
freo trado and have discovered that
while fair on the outside thoy are but
dust and ashes within.
Mr. Blaine said also that tho lesson
whioh tho working pcoplo would loam
from thoir bitter cxpcrlenoo was that
to regain thoir lost prosperity and
happiness they must voto for that
patty whioh had mado the protective
polioy its own and rcplaoe it in power.
That prophooy is boing fulfilled. Tho
wngo-workcrs who voted for Cleveland
in 1892 aro coming baok to thoir son
sos, as tho elections last fall and this
spring show. Moro of thorn will havo
learned thoir lesson by Novcmbor,
and .by 1886 moro than enough will
havo finished thoir education to swoop
tho Democrats from power. And un
til the memory of tho miseries of 1893
ind subsequent years has faded from
tho minds of men thoy will-not bo put
