Cold w aVeS.

The United States Signal Service,
otherwise known as "Old Probs," has
certainly been of some service to the
people of the Northwest, by predicting
the coming of cold wave, when the
thermometer takes tumble to itself,
and the ice man and coaldealer begin to
ask the price of diamonds. Generally
the forecasts for cold waves are quite re-
liable, though we cannot say as much
for the predictions of clear weather.
General Greeley and his subordinates
are the only men who get paid for
guessing whether it will rain before
morning, or whether it will be a cold
night, but some other millions do as &C.
curate guessing just for fun. Now, these
Signal Service probabilities" may be
all guess work, but theirs ID no uncer-
tainty about "The Burlington" That
it has the smoothest track, the finest
equipment, reaches all principle cities
IN nine states, makes connections in
Union Depots and has no ''cold wave"

agent you will be advised to take 1.-The

PRESIDENTIAL ADVICE.

Harrison VIII Urge the Passage Of the
Force Bill and That the Tariff Bill Re-
main Untouched.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-At the cab
met meeting Tuesday the presidents
forthcoming message was discussed. 1t
is said that aside from the routine mat
ter generally the president will urge
congress to stand firm on the tariff bill
and to pass the force bill and also the
reapportionment bill.
Another point of the message will be
the presidents earnest recommendation
that no further steps be taken toward
the free coinage of silver, but will leave
other financial matters to Secretary
WINDOWS annual report, as he did last
year.
It's said that the president and sew
eral members of his cabinet reason that
any backward step on the tariff would
throw their party into confusion, and
that the present congress could not af-
ford to undo any Of the work. even
with Democratic assistance, that it did
at the last session. while Blaine has been
generally holding aloof from cabinet
discussions of the policy of the admins
tratiOn.

A Northern Winter.

There is disposition on the part of
some people to endeavor to conceal the
fact that the winters of the Northwest
are not like tropical summers. They
argue that any other policy tends to
stop immigration and injure the coun-
try. What greater nonsense could be
gwen currency? One of the charms of
this territory is its healthful, invigorat-
ing winters, which bring ruddy glow
to the cheek and impart new activity to
the general system. Who but con-
frmed INVALID would desire the winter
peculiar to the South? Southerners
have no such sports as we enjoy = the
carnival, the snowshoe expeditions, the
coasting, the skating and the thousand
and one other diversions which 60 to
make our winter season of jollitY from
to end. One need not fear
the cold, for it is always possible to be
especially when travelling
on the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad-the
Duluth Short Llne-which is the popu-
lar route and the one to take when ira
yelling between the Twin Cities and
Duluth and West Superior. 1t runs
handsomely equipped trains on fast
schedules, and makes close connections
to all points. For further information,

there is more potency in Ely's Cream
Balm than In anything else it is possible
to prescribe. This preparation has for
many years past been making brilliant
success as remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever. Used In the in
itial stages of these complaints Cream
Balm prevents any serious development
of the symptoms, while almost number
less cases are on record of radical cures
of chronic catarrh, after all other modes
of treatment have failed.
