FALLS CITV
Hunday May 20 there will be a game
of baa-ball. between the Falls City and
Independence teams played at Falls
City. A big crowd and a good time la
anticipated.

' Tbe feeoord Breaking Winter.
Never have tbe borblngera of spring
been ntoro cordially welcomed than
now. We bave bad quite enough of
tbe "good old faahloned" winter. Re-
porta from ell parts of tbe country
atfiu to Bbow that It waa the most se
vere In year If not tho worst on rec
ord. The mean temperature of tbe
winter for Boston was 24.03 degrees F.
above xero, with sixty-six Inches of
snowfall, in New York tbe season was
llio coldest on record, with a mean tem
perature of 20 1-3 degrees above aero.
This Is B 1-8 degrees lower than in any
winter for more then thirty years and
degree colder than that of 1874-76,
hitherto the coldeat on record. Biix-
sards and heavy snowstorms were re
sponsible for a fall of twenty-eight and
one-half inches, which coat more than
$100,000 to remove. In fact, according
to tbe officiate of the street cleaning
department, no auch amount of snow
haa ever been shoveled from tbe streets
of New York In any prevloua winter
In the cltj'a history. Chicago expert'
enced a mean temperature slightly
lower than New York's and Buffered
no leas severely from the heavy falls
of snow.
Railroads all over the country were
greatly hampered by anow, particular
ly in Canada and the northwest The
freight aervlce on three Canadian lines
waa abandoned altogether for a tune,
aud only a fraction of the passenger
tralna were running. Bo great was the
Interruption of railroad traffic caused
by cold and anow ' that some of the
larger systems were scarcely able to
earn operating expenaea.
The moat distressing feature of tbe
long, cold winter haa been Ita effect
upon public health. Tbe theory that a
cold winter la condecive to good health
haa been pretty thoroughly exploded.
tbe reporta from all parts ot the coun
try abowlnc nnuaual prevalence of
physical ailments caused by low tern
perature. Serious epidemics of grip
and pneumonia were prevalent in many
f the larger cities, particularly in New
York and Chicago, where the death
rate waa alarmingly bigb.
After these long, tedious months of
storm, anow, ice, sleet, blisxards and
aero temperature, which bave taxed
human endurance well nigh to the
limit, it is with special earnestness
that we say, "Ooroe. gentle spring;
etberesl mildness, come."

France should be Induced to forget lbs
lost provinces and Join Ueruisuy and
Ruaala in punlablng England's trea t
ery." Tbe Engllab Journals do not
venture to fix a time limit, but tho mil
itary correap'ondents of tbe KUimlard,
tbe Mail and tbe Telegraph do not see
how the military situation can be clear
ed up for months. Tbe British govern
ment is supposed by the London Times
to be In a position to prevent sny Im
mediate need for Uie Intervention of
neutral powers, although it expresses
itself on tbla point with reserve.
In Pram-e tint expectation of a long
war la candidly set forth, more partic
ularly by tho Figaro, which aays:
What la theuaaof self deception? There
la every reaaoa to (ear. In view of, th
preeent altuatlon, that tba war will last a
lima tlm. Nor la I til a vain profnostl
ration, an airy apprahanalon. It la an ob
Sarvatluo dictated by common aanaa, baaed
upon th mora or leaa oompleta aucceae of
tha Jupanaa at the outaet.
Mub)ot for th moat eertoua reflection la
afforded by th fact that the Initial ad
vantage although doubtfully obtained by
tha Japaneae fleet without a prevloua dec
laration of war, open up llmltleaa horiaona
to tha duration of hoetilltlra.
Suppoee tha contrary had happened
euppoae tha Japanaaa had been vanqutah
ad on the watr and Ih.lr float aunk or
dtaparaad. It bains generally conceded
that tha Ruaatan army would obtain eoon
er or later a vindication of Ita proweea on
land, that very fact mutt not only have
localised tha conflict, but have limited it
duration. Thia waa tba earn eat hope or
all tha powers.
The atroke at Port Artaur and IB en-
aral the superiority of the Japan on th
water have deetroyed thla hope. The net
result haa been to Intensify their enthual
aam, and It may now ba deemed certain
that a land war alarms them no mora
than a naval war. AU tha new that
comes from the far eaat showa that tba
Japanaaa rely for ultimate victorr aa
much upon their aoldlera as tney do upon
their warahlpa.
And this ia th Japanese delusion which,
It aeema to ua, must fatally prolong tba
war.
That tbe Ruaalans themselves expect
and are preparing for a long struggle
before the Japanese are beaten la ap
parent and la covertly voiced by more
than one St Petersburg journal. It la
possible, thinks the Novoe Vremya,
that another Sevastopol awaits Russia
and adds:
Wa are willing to concede that the Rua
alan nation may find that the Japaneae
phantom haa reality. Wt cannot go back,
liefuca llio autbtalf. ol the. wax-WS ?r
Senator Dolllver la correct in bis
statement that the sons of rich men
are entitled to much sympathy. Tske.
for Instance, poor Willie K. Vsnderbllt.
who ia constantly in trouble because
people whom be runs over with his
automobile have no more decency than
to want to fight or aue for damages.
It is said that all the members of the
Panama canal commission are sacrific
ing higher salaries than they will re
ceive in their new capacity, which is
no doubt true. Their pecuniary loss,
however, will be more than offset by
the distinguished honor that will be
theirs if their work is well done.
Now that lime. Patti has returned to
her home in Europe she might col
laborate with Slgnor Mascagnl on tbe
styles of trouble furnished foreign
srtista on their American tours.
Another unique revelation of the war
Is that there are Russians whose names
do not end with "off," "vltch" or "sky,"
though tbey appear to be greatly In tbe
minority.
If Colombia waits much longer be
fore recognlalng Panama the isthmian
republic will be so much Improved
that Colombia won't be able to recog
