marked Second avenue merchant last
evening, while facing the cutting North

the way in which everybody talked who
was compelled to leave comfortable store

boat will resume her trips, and will con

According 10 Mcteorologist Mansill the
present ''cold snap" will be about the only
one for several weeks to come, and many
were the expressions this morning around
Rock Island breakfast tables that his pre-
diction would prove correct.
