The greast precipitation during any May was in 1888, and the least that of May, 1893, being 4.93 inches in the former and about one-thir- d of an inch in the latter. On May-24- , 1881, 2'.58 inches of rain fell, which is the greatest amount recorded in any twenty-fou- r conse- cutive hours. The average date on which the last killing frost oc- curs in spring is May 8th, and it may be necessary therefore for growers of early vegetables to look out for frosts next month. Last May a very heavy frost;occarred-on- :' the 19th. The Farmers and Merchants' Ditch Co. has made arrangements with Paxton & Hershey whereby the latter will furnish the former with forty water rights for this season. The Farmers and Mer- chants' Co. will at once commence the construction of a large lateral to connect with the P. & H. ditch, and by the first of June water will be running through the entire length of the F. & M. ditch. This arrangement means that the people along the latterditch, or at least quite a number of them, will have sufficient water to irrigate this sea- son's crop, and a great benefit will be derived therefrom. The con- summation of the deal is one which should please all. Fire Wednesday night com- pletely gutted the Knights of Pythias' hall in Keith's block, de- stroying about six hundred dollars worth of furniture, carpets, etc. The fire was discovered about eleven o'clock, and had then been burning about a half hour. An alarm was sounded, -- the fire depart- ment quickly responded and the flames were subdued in a short time thereafter. A liberal quan- tity of water was used and much of it run through into the rooms below occupied by Wm. Landgraff and the postoffice, thereby causing some damage. The general opinion is that the fire .was caused by the ex- plosion of a lamp. The A. O. H. held a meeting in the evening and as is the usual custom left the lamps burning for the janitor to extinguish. The janitor in charge went to the hall about twenty min- utes after the lodge adjourned and was greeted by a dense volume of hot smoke, and it was just at this time several persons on the street also noticed the fire. The flames did not reach the rooms in which lodge accoutrements are kept else the loss would have been much greater. The loss of the Knights of Pythias is covered by $300 in- surance, but two organs ' oyiied by other societies - iiiid which -- are a wreck, we believe were not insured. Six or eight charters belonging to secret societies were consumed. The loss on the building is not covered bv insurance. - It v at mii It. s.

A couple of trains of stock went through yesterday. The office of division foreman Barnum is being repainted a new floor laid, which very much im- proves appearances. M. G. Chilberg coal agent for the Union Pacific was in the city yes- terday in the interests of that busi- ness. He quite an enthusiastic disciple of Izaak Walton, is making arrangements for a crusade against the finny denizens of the streams in this vicinity upon his next trip here. Some of the trainmen are figur- ing upon a new time card. This is the usual"bccupa'tion between trips when not pushed too hard with work. Their latest effort in this direction is that trains 5 6 will be put on again as formerly. With the deficit referred to else- where staring the receivers in the face, thereis not much probability that this will prove true, unless either the road is reorganized the former gentlemen lose their position or tfiat tourist travel promises to- - be unusually heavy this season.

plosion of a lamp. The A. O. H.held a meeting in the evening andas is the usual custom left thelamps burning for the janitor toextinguish. The janitor in chargewent to the hall about twenty min-

utes after the lodge adjourned andwas greeted by a dense volume ofhot smoke, and it was just at thistime several persons on the streetalso noticed the fire. The flamesdid not reach the rooms in whichlodge accoutrements are kept elsethe loss would have been muchgreater. The loss of the Knightsof Pythias is covered by $300 in-

surance, but two organs ' oyiied byother societies - iiiid which --are awreck, we believe were not insured.Six or eight charters belonging tosecret societies were consumed.The loss on the building is notcovered bv insurance.
