THE MANITOBA ZEPHYR.
The State Of the Weather in Indianapolis
Mr.. Wappenhans's Forecast.

Pat Donan the picturesque wordartist of Da-
kota, could hardly get together an aggregation
of adjectives adequately expressing the popular
sentiment on the frigid weather which Indianap-
oils, as well as the country in general is now suf-
fering from. The mildest thing that can be said
on the subject is that Sam
Love, the Indianapolis weather prophet,
who has been trying to distinguish himself by
predicting dreadful things, has at last been vim
dicated with vengeance. The thermometers
about the city which always go to extremes in
sizing up the temperature, yesterday indicated
variously from ten to twenty degrees below zero.
but the conservative mercura measure
located at the Signal-service Office

Northwest show that the temperature is falling

there will be no marked rise here before to NOR.

Our reporter. greeted Mr.. William
Noble, temperance lecturer, who was
here last spring, on board the Alameda
Yesterday. Mr.. Noble reported much
success in the Colonies. At Auckland
he remained % days, sometimes speak
ing seven times day. He also visited
Wellington, Canterbury, Sydney, Mel
bourne, Adelaide, Sandhurst in fact
all the cities and large towns between.
1t was pretty hard work getting people
to take the pledge in the Colonies. Mr.
Noble said he was convinced Of one
thing, that it was no use trying to put
down the liquor traffic by coercion
the people must be patiently educated
against drinking habits. He had a
years work ahead of him in Australia,
but had to cancel all engagements and
return to England, on account of the
serious illness of his wife. During the
steamers stay in port Mr.. Noble re-
ceived cordial attentions from many
whose friendship he secured on his
former more extended visit. He was
surprised at the fine buildings going up
on the burnt district, locality in
which he took special interest from
having been here at the great fire, one
of his engagements TO lecture-the
last one-havng been rudely frustrated
by the flames taking possession of the
Bethel Union Church about the time
the meeting should have begun.
