ELECTION DAY WEATHER
Storm In the Lake Region May
Spread by Tuesday.
If 1t Should Its Effect Will Be
Felt in the Middle West Bat

The weather is Just now a very serious
consideration with the politicians. For tie
last two or three days there has deem a
severe storm in the lake region and there
is no telling when 1t Will entirely disappear
Bad weather affects the armer vote prln-
cipally on account of the long distance IN
hundreds of cases in which the farmers
live from the polls. Unless they are in
u different mood this year from all other
years they will not come out to Vote IN
the rain or with the prospect of water
or snow storm.
The country vote is depended on eSpec-
tally by the Bryan party this year 10
offset city majorities. on the other hand
it is said that in bad weather the kid
gloves, silk hats and other gold bugs
will not turn out even in the cities, and
that therefore there is a cnance for an
evening up in case of the continuance of
the present storm which is of peculiar
tory which all the politicians agree to be
the battle ground.
Prof. Bigelow was in charge at the
Weather Bureau last night, but no pre-
dictions were given out that will cover
election day. The forecast tomorrow morn
ing Will, however, cover thirty-siX hours,
which will cover half Of election day. II
is also possible that tonight forecast
may be had for forty-eight hours.
Prof. Bigelow gave out last night that
the storm continues central over Lake
Superior, but it is diminishing in energy.
The signals of danger, were,- therefore,

own room. Then, as he lighted the gas,
he discovered his own watch on the dresser
where he had left it early in the evening
under the anticipation that he might
return quite late at night.
Instead of being victim-o of the midnight
marauders, he had unintentionally turned
one himself. Fortunately the name of the
owner of the watch was in the charm at the
end of the chain. A messenger was sum-

the claims OF the respective candidates as
uphOlders OF the flag and all that it i'm

Chairman Hanna originated the plan to
make prominent the Stars and Stripes on
the 31st OF October, seeking, OF course, to
Identify politics and patriotism to the ad-
vantage of Mr. Mckinley. Chairman Jcnes
could not allow one party to get Up u corner
on patriotic demonstrations, however, and
announced the observance of the same
Gay by the Democrats.
There Was therefore i sort of rivalry be-
tween the parties on the matter and the
result showed in the lavish decoration of
everything on which flag could be raised
or draped or pinned.

by rural visitors in city hotels, and very
often the long bow is drawn until it is In
danger of swapping asunder under the strain.
But here is one related by the Philadelphia

simplicity, accompanied by his wife, regis
tered at the hotel, and about 10 o'clock in
the evening the clerk was confronted by
the husband, who remarked that they were
ready to retire and who wanted to know
A bell boy was dispatched to show the
verdant guests how the folding bed operated,
and for a period Of several minutes all was
quiet in the office, when the man from the
country again put In an appearance. He
wanted to know II they couldn't have a
wash bow and a pitcher of water. Again
the bell boy was sent up to explain the
mysteries of a stationary washstand. But
more trouble was in store for the attaches
of the hotel, when an apparition clad in
airy garments was seen beckoning from the
top landing of the stairs. 1t was the gen.
tleman from the country, who wanted to
know how the "gosh-dern light was put
out" The bellboy accompanied him to his
room, whereupon the countryman pointed
to the hand grenades labeled fire eX-
tinguishers," and said he didn't know
whether to throw them at the electric light
or not. The boy turned off the light and
nc further trouble ersued,
But the stranger had made three trips to
the Office when he might have touched the
electric call bell.
