George Plair returned from his trip
to the east yesterday. much refreshed
after the journey. he relates that the
weather back there is something to
be seen to be appreciated. The use of
the term seen" is made advisedly too,

seen. In Minneapolis, where he was
during the early days of the blizzard.
everyone carries an ice pick to remove
the froth from the beer before they
drink it. Beer froth congeals the in
slant the stuff is drawn and unless
one has an ice pick he has to wait
until the stuff can be thawed out on
the stove. and that takes too much
time for the average Minneaoolitan.
All the water tanks on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul frpze w for
three days and there was no way to
run the engines except by cutting holes
in the boilers and filling them with
ice. This took time but the difficulty
was overcome by having an engine full
of thawed ice all ready at the end OF
each division. This worked very well
and all trains were nearly on time.

orator at Dubuque sent telegram 10

Downsin Nebraska, where the work
of corn shuclking was stopped for 4 few
days prior TO election. labor has been
resumed. This. however. should not be
attributed to any post election feel

With the prospects Of a duty on
eegs, soon after the inauguration, the
hens Of Ohio have resumed laying and
stocks Of Shanghai berries are ex-
pected to accumulate between now and
the tn OF March. The glad caclzle-
of the Dullet, which was hushed in
fear that Bryan would pe elected, is
again resumed. while the shrill crow
of the youthful ehantioleer rents the
air in every direction. Even POTATOES,
on which there will be q duty have
felt the influence OF the election and
are sDrouting for JOY in the cellars.
Inc elecllOn III ian IS regarded IN
the east as a surprise. 1t was learned
through Republican channels that Nc
kinley would carry the state and when
Redfield Proctor left here he tele-
graphed that everything was all right;
Brown had matters we'll in hand The
paralyzing majority for Bryan has
opened the ewes of the efFete east and
they are talking very favorably of a
people who could not be bulidozed.
There was 2 party of distinguished

the interests of Virginians in the silver
question had not suffered any diminu-
ton by the defeat of the cause in the
election. we had a hard fight" said
he, towing to a strong disaffection of
gold Democrats but the entire Popu-
list party stayed with us and we gave
q majority of 10000 for the electoral
ticket and elected eight congressman.
