At Duluth the wind was high and Lake
Superior was unsafe.
Throughout Nebraska and portions Of
Montana, II was showing all day yester-
day and drifts have formed In the rail-
road cuts. The snow, however, Is light
and fine, and the drifts therefore are not
serious. On the ranges cattle can easily
get to grass under the snow. The reports,
however, indicate heavy fall in tempera-
ture as probable, and this will put a new
and serious phase on the situation. Ne
braska grain men are jubilant over the
weather, as they say there never was so
much moisture in the state at this season
as at present. Throughout Iowa heavy

at Present.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 13.-Dan A. Stuart
declines to affirm or deny the truth of the
Chicago Associated Press dispatch, print
ed this morning, that the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight will take place at Carson
City, New. He simply says: Il could not
tell the public positively at this time
which of a half dozen or more places that
have recently been guessed by newspaper
reporters Is the right one. My financial in
torests would naturally suggest that
take the public into my confidence as
early as possible, for the earlier the pub
lie know the location for a certainty, the
better it will be for me financially. l
shall tell the public the location at least
one full month prior to the date set for
the fight, and as much earlier as my in
terests will justify. in the meantime let
the newspaper boys keep guessing"

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 1s.-Nothing au-
thentic can be learned concerning the re-
port that the Georgia and Alabama would
reorganize the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus railroad, and extend il to this
city. The purchase of the road to-day by
Simon Borg & Co., representing the bond
holders throws no light on the subject
to the uninitiated. The faith of those
who predicted that the road would become
part of the Georgia and Alabama system,
has not been shaken by to-days trans
action at Rome.

SHERMAN TO BE IN THE CABINET.
The Senator slated For Secretary of
state.


Canton, o., Jan. 13.-A message received
here from Washington tonight makes 1t
reasonably certain that Senator Sher-
mans present intention is to accept the
position of Secretary of State in Maj.
McKinleys cabinet. 1t was intimated to
Senator Sherman several days ago that
Maj. Mckinley would be glad to know
whether he would be inclined to accept
a cabinet position. Senator Sherman's in
clinations were not in that direction
originally, and his first thought was ac-
cording to friends here, that he ought to
remain in the Senate, but after careful
consideration of the subject, it seems to
him that he can perhaps be of more SER
vice to the country and to his party at the
head of the department of state. II
present arrangements are not changed,
and there is nothing to Indicate they will
be, Senator Sherman Will occupy the lead
ing place in Maj. McKinley's cabinet.

A Coming Theatrical.

Referring to Mr.. Walker White
side, who comes to the Grand
next week, the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says of his ap-
pearance in the Crescent city:
'That the playgoers of New
Orleans have good memories for
people who please them was evil
denced last night when Mr..
Whiteside opened his engage
ment to larger audience than
any which greeted him during
his last seasons engagement. 1t
must also be remembered that
''Hamlet" is not a Sunday night
attraction and the Academy of
Music is not Sunday night
house. Last season Mr.. White
side opened to very light bust
ness, because nobody in New Or
leans knew anything about him,
but his audiences kept growing
steadily larger as his engage
ment wore on, while the patrons
of the legitimate were particu-
larly gratified with each of Mr..
Whiteside's representations. This
season Mr.. Whitesides seems to
have begun just about where he
left off last season, and it appears
highly probable that his bust
ness will continue to improve
throughout the week"

AFTER THE SHOW
There Was Hot Time in the Old Town
at Night.

All kinds of queer things were
going on in Brennan the night
after the circus. There was a
hot time in the old town and for
the time being it resembled the
place where "they say such
things and do such things"
Drinks in the afternoon were
followed by DRINKS in the even
ing. Some of the jags were fol-
lowed up by the jug and the city
bastile had several more than its
usual quota of occupants.
A certain benedict in the city
went out with the boys, took a
drop too much, and was pro-
ceeding to give the city a bright
vermilion hue when his wife ap-
peared on the scene to take a
mana IN the game. Inc recreant
husband who had intended to
take in the town got took in on
short order and was marched off
home by his little WHEY in double
quick. A reporter who witness
ed the final scene in the little do
nestle comedy caught the CLEAN
of a small pistol and heard the
aforesaid lady say something
about it being little past the
usual bed time, of her liege lord,
and that he'd better come along.
And he came.

Connections Made With the New Dynamo
at the Electric Plant.
Noticing an unusual steadiness
and brilliancy among the mean
descent lights in the city Friday
night a reporter learned the
cause from Electrician Eddy.
The big dynamo purchased by
the Breeham Compress Oil C
Mfg. Co., which was tied up in
New Orleans several months by
quarantine, had just been gotten
in shape for connections.
The new dynamo has a capac-
ity which is practically unlimited
SO far as supplying incandescents
for the city, and the company
are prepared to put in all the
lights that may be required.
The new machine Is driven by
a 250-horse power, high duty
Atlas engine and runs as smooth
ly and perfectly as clock work.

effects are always the same, and
circus day is halcyon time for
the business of love making.
Then there were the dignifed
clergyman and the pious layman
who came to see the animals, of
course, and why not. Is there
any harm in watching and study
ing the "wondrous works of
God?" No one is ever hurt, but
rather helped by coming in con-
tact with natural objects. It is
refreshing in these feverish, ar
tificial days to gaze upon an
honest beast. Anything that is
natural, let us have it.
From the remarkable pageant
of men and animals in the ''pro-
cessional entree" to the thrilling
ly realistic hippodrome at the
close there was a succession of
displays of human skill and ami
NAL sagacity that illustrated the
wonderful results to be accom-
plished by practice and patience.
The acrobatic feats, the thrilling
high trapeze balancing, the long
leaping and flying acts and the
long program of sensational
illustrations of courage and art
were exceedingly interesting; but
the most astonishing acts in this
mammoth comedy drama were
the parts played by the trained
animals. The intelligence of
horses has become proverbial
and elephants have aided man so
long that the grotesque behavior
of this great herd was accepted
as strange although not altogeth-
er unexpected; the astonishing
things done by the trained sea
lions and seals had to be seen to
be believed. A pair of hippopt-
smi walking about the circuit
of the tent as quietly as two COWS
was a strange sight, too, and
these special practical lessons in
eye teaching are worth many
days of self denial on the part of
parents that their children may
thus enjoy something that could
not be given to thousands of
them in any other way.
The city schools took holiday
that the children might have an
opportunity to witness the parade
and attend the performance.

AFTER all it seems that cir
cuses are making bigger roar
about the occupation taxes levied
by the last legislature than the
situation justifes, The total
taxes collected for the exhibition
at this place, State, county and
city, was only 5000. Not near
so extortionate as many had been
led to suppose. The $500 taxes
that have been cussed so much
only apply for performances
where 81 admission is charged.

trel Railroad From that Cause.
The case of Henry Clay VS.. the
Houston and Texas Central Rail
way in county court was contin-
ued Saturday on the application
of the defendant.
This is a suit wherein the plain
tiff, Henry Clay, seeks to recover
$1,000 damages for mental an
guish occasioned by his being
elected from one of the defend
ants trains while a passenger

on the 18th of August, last. In
plaintiffs petition he sets up a
statement of facts to the effect
that on the date above given he
applied to the Chappell Hill
agent of the defendant company
for ticket to Brennan and ten
dered him a dollar in payment
for same; that the agent refused
to supply the ticket, saying that
he had no change, the price of
the same being thirty cents; that
the plaintiff boarded the train
and rendered the conductor thirty
cents as fare to Brennan, telling
him of having applied for a ticket
and been refused; that the con-
ductor demanded four cents a
mile, or forty cents, and upon
plaintiff refusing to pay that
amount, forcibly elected him
from the train, and cursed and
abused him to the extent of $1,000
damages by reason of the de-
plaintiffs great humiliation in
the presence of the other passen-
gers who made great sport of the
