Adams has been making his living
by trapping and fishing. Yesterday
morning a passerby discovered a mink
fast in a trap near Adams' house, and
called to him. Receiving no response,
he broke open the door, and found
Adams lying in bed apparently asleep.
The end had evidently come painlessly.
Doctors who were summoned held a
consultation and decided that Adams
had been dead about twelve hours. No
inquest was held, it being considered
perfectly evident that, death had re
sulted from natural causes, probably
i-eart disease. The funeral was held
today.

WHAT REV. IRL HICKS OF ST.
LOUIS PREDICT8 FOR NEXT
MONTH.
Makes Guess That Month Will be
Rushed in With Warm Weather and
Electric Storms Will End With
Low Barometer.
The month of April will be rushed
in with warm weather and electric
storms, according to the predictions of
Rev. Irl Hicks, the St. Louis weather
prognosticator. The following are
Hicks' predictions forv next month:
A marked change to warmer with,
corresponding fall of the barometer,
will progressively pass from west to
east, over the country during the first
two or three days of April. Indica
tions of coming changes and storms
will be apparent to observing people
over most parts of the country, and
these fore-running indications will cul
minate in storms of rain, wind and
thunder, centering on and touching
Monday and Tuesday, the third and
fourth. Any locality in all the great
storm belts of the country will be lia
ble to these visitations and wherever
high humidity and temperature attend'
ed by low barometer may exist, to that
extent forceful and violent storJhs will
be probable. Anyone of ordinary in
telligence can tell hours before
whether his {Immediate locality is go
ing to fall in the direct path of the
storm. The tendency of hail storms
will be greatly increased at this time,

change to much cooler with probably
snow flurries northward, and cool to
frosty nights will follow up to about
the sixth.
The ^eventh to eighth are central
dates, on and .touching with reaction
ary changes to storm conditions will
take place. These changes to warmer
falling barometer, with outbreaks of
rain and stormless, will begin in west
ern and make their transit to eastern
sections, being followed by rapid rise
of^the barometer and change to much
cdoler. Electrical storms until past
the middle of April, should be warn

the eleventh to the fifteenth. The

The next regular storm period is
central on the twenty-fourth covering
the twenty-third to the twenty-seventh.
