A SAD Casg.—Clearfield county bas
developed a case of the most harrowing
poverty. The Journal says of it :
“A horrible story of poverty, death
and neglect, comes from Bigler town-
ship. Geo. Merriman the husband is in
the county jail charged with stealing,
as he alleges, to keep his wife and five
children from starving. On Thursday
night last the wife, residing in a hut
with four children was alone and gave
birth to a child. Mother and child
were found dead at ten o'clock on Fri-
day morning after information had been
made by the little children who were
ignorant of the causes of their mother’s
enth. The details of the case are hor-
rible, but in the absence cf reliable in-
formation as to all the facts further
comment is witheld at this time.”
WouLD-BE COXEYITES FROM PHILIPS-
BURG.—The Chester Hill industrial
army that started on Wednesday to
march to Washington petered out and
disbanded at Tyrone. General Henry
Coxey Adams and Weary Idler Burch-
field comprised the army. They started
on Wednesday afiernoon at 2 o’clock,
and reached Tyrone at midnight—hun-
gry, footsore and tired. They slept in a
planing mill in East Tyrone with fifteen
other tramps,and the next morning they
looked so tough that when they went to
the Ward {House to get breakfast the
colored’ porter made them go down to
the basement to wash instead of allow-
ing them to make their ablutions in the
washroom in the office. Marshall Rid-
dles brought the army home on the
morning train.—Philipsburg Ledger.
ANOTHER’S VIEW OF A DEMOCRATIC
OrricIAL.—District Attorney Singer, of
Bellefonte, is one of the most vigilant
and faithful officials in the state. Last
winter he ferreted out and promptly ar-
rested two parents for brutal treatment
to a son,and we notice last week he
telegraphed to Lock Haven and had a
law breaker arrested and returned to
Bellefonte. He is a prompt and most
efficient dispatcher of justice, and we
admire his courage and pushing quali-
ties. Such men are an honor to any
profession or to any community.—

‘WeaTHER.—The month opens at the
end of April’s closing storm period, with
storm disturbances disappearing in ex-
treme eastern parts of the country, aud
cooler}weather prevailing in central and
western sections. An equinox of Mer-
cury is central on the 3rd, and will
cause cloudiness and tendency to con-
tinued drizzle. In the extreme north
sleat need not prove a surprise. By the
4th decided change to warmer will
develop in thejwest, and during the 5th
to 7th, reactionary storms will pass over
the country, being central about the
time of new moon on the 5th. A sharp
change to cooler will follow the disturb-
ancss at thistime,|with strong probabii-
ities of frost along the northern side of
the country from about 7th to 10th.
From 10th to 14th is the next regular
period of change and storm. A very
warm wave is apt to appear by the 11th
in western regions,jand during the three
days next following storms of much
energy and wide scop? will traverse the
country from west to east. Another
very cool wave for the season will come
in behind the storms causing several
days of much cooler weather in the
country generally. Heavy rains may
reasonably be expected during the last
named disturbances—namely, about the
11th, 12th and 13th, during which time
a series of daily storms, recurring near
the same time of day or night, for sev-
eral days need not be unlooked for.
‘Watch barometers, temperature and di-
rection of wind ; if barometer fails to
rise after one storm passes, with wind
stillin east and south, expect another
storm from the west, and so on until
conditions change.
The cool weather following the storms
of the last period will give place to
warmer, and secondary storms will ap-
pear in many places about the 17th and
18th, immediately after which the ba-
rometer will rise rapidly to a very high
reading, attended by a sharp change to
cooler.
From 21st to 25th falls the next storm
period, during which time it will grow
very warm and many storms of rain,
thunder and wind will appear. Ia all
these disturbances the intelligent uss of
the barometer and correct observation
of wind currents will foreshadow with
much certainty the coming and the in-
tensity of storms. About the 27th and
28th will be central the last disturb-
ances for May bringing fair and cooler
days and nights for the closing month.
In the nature of things May must
bring more or less violence, in a me-
teorological way, but there is a marked
absence of disturbing causes so far as
other planets are concerned. There are
reasons to believe that storms will not
be unusually frequent and heavy ; but
it will be the part of prudence to watch
them all and be prepared to take refuge
from all that may carry in their cloudy
* folds the desolators of towns and hearts

An Interesting Letter.
Grand Island, Neb. April 19, 1894.
Epitor WATCHMAN.
Dear Sir: Being a reader of your valuable
paper all my life, or at least ever since I have
been able to read, and the WarcaMax office
being the first printing office I ever visited, I
will take the privilege of sending this letter to
your paper.
When I was a lad, my father then liying on
the old homestead seven miles west of Belle
fonte, in Benner township, now known as
Houserville, intended that I should become a
printer, and insisted on my going with him to
Bellefonte to visit tke printing office, and see
the press in operation. I was anxious to see
the curiosity. And I did see it, but that set-
tled the question of my being a printer.
I decided to hold the plow instead of set
type and I have followed that occupation ever
since, excepting nine months which I served
in the late war. Here I will state why I write
this letter. I was born and raised in Centre
Co. Penn. but having left there in 1871, I came
to Ncbrask a where I have resided ever since,
and my correspondence with old friends and
even with relatives, has become somewhat’
limited. If the WarcaMaN will be kind
enough to publish this letter it will reach all
of my old acquaintances for I think they are
all among its readers. About all the news 1 get
in regard to my old friends is by perusing
the columns of its valuable pages. The paper
does not reach us until Monday morning, but
the news is not stale according to our estima-
tion.
The account of the big snow storm on April
tenth has recalled to my memory many things
of the past, how through the storm of April
17th, 1854, I then being eleven years of ages
we spent the dreary days trapping the birds
which had gathered in father’s barn in search
of shelter and food. We invented our own
traps perhaps with the aid of an older brother.
The main part of the trap being a seed sieve
with one side propped up with a small stick to
which was attached a string long enough to
reach some secluded corner in the barn
where we lay in ambush. The birds would
soon find the wheat which we had scattered
under the trap. Then hurrah boys ! pull the
string, and the birds were prisoners. Perhaps
more fun for the boys than the birds. About
the number of birds there were in the barn I
will not attempt to give, for it is possible for
me to make a mistake ofa bird or two, and
the readers of the WarcMaN might loose con-
fidence in me as in Mr. Bower's case.
Now dear friends I will come back to Nebr,
As I said before I located in Hall county in
1871, the county seat being Grand Island, then
merely a Union Pacific R. R. station, at pre-
sent a city of the first class, here known as
the “Sugar City.” We have here located the
first beet sugar factory in Neb. and it turns out
a quality of sugar of which we are very
proud. Now, young men, if you should make up
your minds to come west, this is not the worst
place in the world. While we do not clai m that
this is the land of “Corn and Wine.” We could
justly claim ‘the former, but not the latter,
nor do we wish to for you know the
Good Book says “Wine is a mocker, strong
drink is raging and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.” Some people and espec-
ially you eastern people, claim that ours is the
land of wind and snow, well we will accept the
former but will give you folks the latter. We
possess the land of eornand swine, where milk
and sugar flow. How does that strike you
young men, have you any objections to that
kind of a country ? If not, call around and see
us—our latch string is out at all times, and we
will give you as good as we have and try to
entertain you while in our fair country. Now
as this may become tedious and uninteresting
I will come to a close by saying that if any of
the readers of the WarcaMan should become
interested in this letter or want any informa-
tion regarding our country. 1 will gladly
answer any question, either through the
‘WarcHEMAN or by letter. You rs Truly.

Farmers loss on every acre seeed3 02,
Miller’s profit on an acre. It requires five
bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour, ac-
cording to the miller’s statement itself, at $.56
per bushel would require $2.80 worth of wheat
for a barrel of flour. Miller's expense for
grinding §. 30. Total cost $3.10.
The miller realizes, at whole sale, $3.00 per
barrel, and §. 90 for the braa. Total $3.90. A
gain of § .80 per barrel. An acre produces
33-5 bbls. so $ .80 times 335 equals
$2.88 gain on an acrs. Bat when he re
tails the flonr he realizes $3.60 per barrel, and
$ .90 for the bran, total $2.50 a gain of $1.40 per
barrel, and on an acre would be 3 3.5 times
$1.40 or $5.04 gain.
Therefore : the farmer looses $3.02 on every
acre he cultivates at present prices. The mil.
ler gains $2.88 when he wholesales it and
when he retails it he has a gain of $5.04.
