The weather has been extra mely cold
In the Western States during the week.
From the great lakes to the Rocky
Mountains the mercury has been down
70 zero, and in parts of Colorado and
wyoming from 80 to 40 degrees below
that point. Arizona has experienced
the greatest cold ever known in that
Territory, and two or three inches of
snow fell at Ell Paso, on the Rio Gtande
A spirited contest took place recently
at a ball at Sprucemont when q gold
watch was voted to the most popular
young lady. The watch was worth
about $40 and votes were cast at Is
cents each. On closing the ballot it
was found that 1915 Lad beer realized
and Miss Honeyman, daughter of Com
missioner Frank Honeyman, WAS de-
clared duly elected.

Yesterday was generally recognized
as holiday by our business men, stores
being closed and the day devoted to
quiet enjoyment. Quite a number
made the usual New Years call, though
but few made preparations for keeping
open house. The day seemed unusual
ly quiet and nothing of importance trans.
pired to break the monotony, and the
day seemed more like an. eastern Sdh-
day than western holiday.
At the meeting of the ladies on Satur-
day night to make arrangements for the
Leap Year ball there was vote taken,
so we are informed, as to where the ball
should be held; and it ia reported that
forty-seven ballots were cast with only
thirty, ladies present. Some charge
that it is clear case of baIlot-box
stuffing while others assert that it is
only natural result of woman suffrage.
We can only say. thas' il the report be
true it is clear that women are capable
of becoming most successful politicians.

THE PITTSBURGH TRIP.


All the Arrangements RelnS Satisfactorily
Perfected.
The exodus Of Republicans from this
city and vicinity to Pittsburgh next Sat
urday, TO witness and participate in the
first grand street demonstration of the
Republicans OF Allegheny county, is 60.
ing to be one Of considerable proper
tions. The indications are now that
there will be between 400 and 500 60
from here.
Yesterday the Baltimore & Ohio road
announced that it would also run
special excursion train for this event.
Ii will leave here at o'clock, and re-
turning will leave Pittsburgh at mid.
night. The fare for the round trip is
81 s., the same rate made by the Pan
Handle Company the day before. Those
going via the Panhandle will leave on
the regular train at 4:20 o'clock, and re-
turning will leave Pittsburgh at fifteen
minutes after midnight. Tickets over
both roads will be good returning on any
OF Mondays trains.
All the uniformed clubs that go up
will adhere to the original plan and 90
via the Panhandle. The clubs which
have up to date made definite arrange
ments to go to Pittsburgh are the Plumed
Knights, which will turn out about 40
men; Junior knights, 80 men; Potters'
Protective Tariff Club, so men; U. S.
Grant Club, 40 men.
The Juniors decided to go at n meeting
held last evening, at which fifteen new
members were taken in. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow evening, at
which there will be an opportunity for
others to Join. II there was time for
these new members to uniform the
Juniors would DO likely to carry OF the
palm for numbers.
Other clubs will meet this evening to
decide about taking in the trip. Il Is
very probable that the Logan club, of
the Island, the Golf club, OF the Fifth
ward, the Mckinley boys, Of the Eighth,
the Summer club and perhaps one or
two others will be found well represented
in the big procession in Pittsburgh Sat
urday night. 1t is also already GER
tainty that iair.sized battalion from
West Virginia will be in line, and the
hukbGbLlOu uuN ullGGu III lcSttTuhy lbSu6
is renewed-that is, that Col. w. II.
Travis be invited by tho officers OF the
several companies to act as commander
OF the West Virginia contingent. This
should be done in good time so that he
and an aide or two may be provided with
horses,
All organizations, which decide to 90
and will Join the other clubs in going
over the Panhandle, are particularly re.
quested to notify Mr.. Charles Van.
Eeuren at his restaurant on Twelfth
street as soon rs possible, so that he as
chairman OF the committee charged with
lookingup the transportation may be able
to arrange for sufficient cars. In addi-
ton to the clubs there will be plenty OF
music.
The reports which come from Pitts
hurgh indicate that the Saturday night
demonstration will besomething almost,
II not entirely, unequalled in tho politi.
cal history ofthe town. Allof the many
nearby surrounding towns are to be rep.
resented and the total number OF men
that will be in line will run away up in
the thousands. All West Virginians are
assured warm welcome.
