Ma to Follow. During the Win
ier there have been all fO-'H of wrnthrr
prognostications some prophying
'a mild winter, other predicting enow
and cold In bundanoe. The atmos
pherio conditlona, however, for the
three or four weeks Just past have been
uoh aa to leau to tne conclusion mat
not very severe weather for the re
mainder of the year wai in store for
us, but when daylight dawned upon
our beloved oouutry Tuesday morning
we found Mother Earth covered with
liberal quantity of the "beautiful" (T)
now. Snow continued to full all the
day la greater or less quantities, and a
general wintry appearance confronted
us. One of the familiar remarks heard
during ths day was "I told you so."
The Latest Bvyiedli. A new
swindle reported by some of our ex
changes la worked by two men. One
buys an artiole in a store and pays for
it with a marked bill. After he has
gone his confederate arrivea and
makes a purobase, usually a cigar,
and after standing at the counter a
lew minutes, asks (or his change. The
clerk says ha has not beon paid
and the customer inaiste that he hand
ed over the counter a bill, naming the
denomination of the one pasted by
the first mao. lie is sura of it and be
remembers that the bill was peculiarly
marked. The clerk looks in the money
drawer, nude the marked bill, apolo
gist to the customer and gives him
the change.
Fruit Trees Injubed by Frost
..Several prominent orcharding say that
the oold snap which earns in the latter
part of November has done onsider
able injury to fruit trees. The extent
of this injury is not suspected by
many, and cannot be ascertained until
pring. The caone of the trouble is
that the cold came on so suddenly,
while the sap was still in the trees, and
the result will be that many trees
which were particularly thrifty and
vigorous, snd were still growing
when the cold snap came, ana which
show no signs of injury to the Inex
perienced eye, will be found to be
dead or badly Injured when the sap
starts in the spring. What with the
cold nights late last spring, which
played smash with the fruit crop, and
the early cold snap last fall, which has
damaged young fruit trees, the weather
lias done orcbardlsis more damage
during 1800 than during a lifetime
previous.
New Bohool District. Last week
a new school distriot was created in
the Bachelor Flat settlement, snd
numbered 54. The district was furmeJ
out of psrts of the Yankton snd IIoul
ton districts. Last Baturday the peo
ple in the new diatrlot met and clouted
school officers as follows : 8. Salser,
W. T. Mason and H. T. Dennett as
directors, snd C. E. Fbilbrook as clerk.
They also voted a special lax for the
creation of a editable school building,
which will be built at once. The peo
pie of the new district are very grate
ful to Mr. D. J. BwiUer for the dona
tion of one sore of ground for school
purposes. Bachelor Flat has long
needed a school distriot, as it is des
tined to be among the most prosperous
of neighborhoods In our county and is
fast settling op with a thriving, enter
prising, go-a head element, and we be
speak for that section of our county a
brilliant future. - 1
Work ok Fort Stbvbni Fortifica
tions. Work on the fortifications near
Fort Stevens is being pushed as rapid
ly as possible, a large force of men be
ing employed, and that part of the fort
new being built will soon be ready for
the guns. The new works are located
about a quarter of a mile west of the
old fort, just behind the jetty. The
timber south of the works has been
cleared off for some distance. In order
to furnish a good bank of sand for the
steam shovel to work in. Vinitors are
not allowed at the works, and no in
formation that is reliable is given out
by the men employed there; so the
works and all operations, as far as
they can be observed, am a constant
source ol wonder to all who see them
from a distanoe. The piledriver em
ployed on the wharf at Chinook Point,
where fortifications are soon to be
commenced, was driven sshnre during
a violent storm a short time since,
causing some delay in the work ; but
operations were renamed Monday.

The origin of women's special privi
leges of "proposing" during leap year
is stated to be that in the year 1288 a
statute was published by the Scotch
parliament ordaining that during the
reign of "Her Maiat Blessit Majeslie
Margaret" every maiden and lady of
high and low estate should have lib
erty te speak to the man she liked. If
he refused to take her to be his wife
the would have the privilege of fining
him f 100, or less, according to his es
tate, unless he could make it appear
that be was betrothed to another
woman, in which case be would be
free to refuse. After the death of Mar
garet the women of Scotland became
clamorous for their privileges, and to
appease tbem another sot of parlia
ment allowed them to propose every
fourth J ear.
