in the city the latter part of the week
and attended the session of the legisla

class having a population less than 5000
I am in favor of including in the

mayors in cities of the second class
The office is an honorary one and at

Henry Troth Dies in New Jersey
A telegram last Friday night from
Merchantville New Jersey announced
the death of Henry H Troth a former
time when the readings were taken and
the locality of the instruments
This cold wave has been exceptional
in the matter of duration only as lower
temperatures are not uncommon in fact
30 below is reached here some time dur
ing practically every w i n t e r But to
have a month of zero or below zero
weather is remarkable here and such
has been our experience during the past
four weeks
While we have had considerable snow
it has been light as compared with the
eastern part of the state and the states
east and north and south
And for the most part the item of
wind has not been a serious one in this
part of the state
Railroad traffic has been seriously re
tarded trains from the east especially
being many hours late for the past week
caused by the extreme cold weather the
snow and drifts Train service from the
west has not been interfered with to any
notable degree
Another squall Tuesday east of here
put the railroad officials on the anxious
seat but it did not come farther west
than Oxford But Kansas lines of the
Q did not fare so well and required
the presence of the snow plows to open
them up
Stock did not suffer much in this sec
tion and there has been but small loss
The winter of 1904 5 will however
serve as a record for years to come

Be On Your Guard
Warning has been sent out by the
Postoffice Department to hotel keepers
merchants and others in various sections
of the country to beware of purchasing
postal money orders as swindlers are
now operating with them extensively
They purchase an order for sums like S6
or 88 and then raise it to 860 or 80
With the increased order they pay hotel
bills or purchase merchandise for small
amounts and get 50 or 800 as the caco
may be in change When the order is
presented at the postoffice for payment
of course it does not agree with the ad-
vice and by that time the traveling
man has vanished to another town

with less It should bo sown with a
grass seeder attachment to the drill or
broadcast The seed should not be cov
ered deeper than one or two inches The
