WARM WEATHER COMING.
Forecaster Predicts That Tenn
perature Will Go Up.
IT WAS COLD YESTERDAY

That is the prognost ication sent out
by the weather man at Washington
last night Slightly warmer looks all
right, but what people want to know is
this: Is Slightly warmer" a JOSH" Or
is 1t a right steer If the prophecy
is all right. the weather man can have
anything he wants in Anaconda, but
If his bunch is wrong, he had better
ting pretty tired of this terribly cold
weather. The weather man who pre-
dicted Slightly warmer was pretty
foxy in not giving definition of
slightly" A degree or two will save
him, but if that degree or two shouldn'
happen to come, it will be all up with
him.
In the meantime, despite the predic-
ton of the weather man, the tharmom-
eter is going down. AT IL o'clock last
evening it was 25 degrees below zero in
town, which means at least 20 or 80 de-
grees below in exposed sections. All
day yesterday the thermometer never
got higher than IL below. AT o'clock
yesterday morning the Waterman at
the brewery, in the extreme western
portion of town, noted a scale of So
below. That is the coolest reported
during the present snap. The ther-
mometer in the stairway of the Petritz
building on Main street at o'clock yes
terday morning was 80 degrees below
and an hour later the instrument show
ed only one degree higher At 8
n'a1onl tho ma in of r11poe7,t cbo1yod
From that time on until 5 o'clock last
evening the thermometer varied be-
tween that figure and u. Twelve was
about as high as it got yesterday.
Ben Crcsswhite of Warm Springs re-
ported that the lowest point reached
in that section of the county so far as
reported was rs below.
Superintendent Ingersoll of the Gold
Coin mine came in yesterday. He re-
ported the lowest point reached there
was 40 degrees below.
At this hour there does not seem to
be any indication of an upward move
ment of the mercury and, on Main
street. the instrument records in the
neighborhood of 25 below.
Most of the trains were again late
yesterday. The Northern Pacific train
from the East yesterday morning, due
here at 1855 a. M, was four hours late

ern Pacific train from the West last
evening was only 45 minutes late, and
the GreatiNorthern through train from
the East was reported three hours late.
The snowfall has now ceased and the
railroads are rapidly clearing their
tracks of all snow. The street car COM
pany yesterday had a force of men at
work shovelling the snow from the
tracks and the rails are now cleared 90
that no more interruption will be ex-
perienced unless more snow falls.

Difference of Opinion as to When Ohi'
Became a State.

Became q State.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is some doubt as to the exact
date upon which Ohio became state.
Ohio never was a separate territory,
being a part of the Northwest terri
tory. In 1901 the people living in the
portion of the Northwest territory now
embraced in the state of Ohio called a
convention to frame state constftu-
ton for the district which had set up
q. claim to statehood under the provis-
ions of the fifth article of the ordinance
of 1887. That convention met in Chilli
Gothic on Nov. 1, 1902, and on Nov. 20
completed its work. The constitution
thus framed was not submitted tn the
people, but was declared ratified by the
convention itself.
On Feb. II, 1903. the United States
congress passed an act admitting Ohio
into the union as a state, said act be-
coming operative upon the assembling
of the first state legislature at Chilli
cothe. The first state legislature met
at Chillicothe at 10 a. m. Tuesday,
March 1, 1903. and both houses immedi-
ately organized. as-u
Thus there are three dates about
which opinions may differ as to the
exact initial period of Ohio statehood.
They are Nov. 30, 1902, when the con-
stitution was perfected and ratified:
Feb. II, 1903, when congress passed the
act admitting Ohio, and March /, 1903,
when the legislature assembled and
organized. The latter date appears to
have the greatest claim. in view of the
language of the act of congress ard
the organization of the legislature. The
two houses of the legislature met in
Joint session at II O'clock a. m. March
8. 1903, to open and declare the result
of the ballot for governor Edward
Tiffin was declared elected, receiving
1864 votes. There We're no ballots cast
against him. At l O'Clock p. m. the
same day Governor Tiffin was sworn in
at a joint session of the two houses
of the legislature by Judge Meigs.

WHO WILL PROSECUTED
1t Is Question Whether Or Not Federal
Authorities Will Try Roe's Case.

1t Is a Question Whether Or Not Federal
Authorities Will Try Roe's Case.
Sheriff Conley started for Helena on
Thursday night to secure requiSition
papers from the governor for the re-
turn of G. M. Roe, wanted for the rob-
berry of the station at Warm Springs
on the night Of Saturday. January IA
and who was arrested at Lincoln, Neb.
Mr.. CenIey did not proceed very far on
his journey, however, before a telegram
was received from the East saying that
the federal authorities had decided to
take hold of the case, on the charge of
holding UP the postoffice at Warm
Springs, which is conducted by the
agent at Warm Springs in connection
with his other duties. On this informa-
ton, Mr.. Conley returned to Anaconda
without going to Helena, but yesterday
another telegram was received which
leaves it in doubt whether the federal
authorities will prosecute the case, or
whether it will be aliG=777-saa to proceed in
the local courts. Whichever or the two
prosecutes the case, Roe will be brought
back here and will arrive probably the
fore part of next week.

..The Man From Mexico.

Willie Collier, whose success in other
cities, entities him to high rank of the
quaint and artistic comedians, comes
to this city at the Margaret next Mon
day in Du Souchet's funniest farce,
The Man From Mexico" a farcical
comedy of continuous and unfailing
mirth. Willie Collier comes of good
theatrical stock, and has always been
on the stage. When he became of age
he was taken in hand by Augustin DAILY
and gave such evidence Of his ability
that he was induced to become a star
and in the principal roles of some of
the most noted productions he achiev-
ed much fame. 1t is said that no actor
in years scored such decided success
in the art of delighting his patrons as
Mr.. Collier in THE Man From Mexica,"
when it was originally produced at
Hoyt's theater, New York, where it
ran for months.

A POISONED BULLET.
A Specimen of Spanish Ammunition Re
ceived ia This City.


ceived ia This City.
John c. Martin has received from one
of the boys at Manila curious as
sortment of mementoes. The principal
relic is a cartridge with a poisoned
bullet, such as is used by the Span
iards in warfare sometimes. The car
fridge was found on the sunken cruiser
Reina Christina, one of the Spanish
vessels which was sent to destruction
by Admiral Dewey. The cartridge
looks like an ordinary cartridge, but
nobody knows what the ball contains.
There is also a portion of the cartridge
rack which was taken from the mag
azine at the Spanish barracks. The
piece is about four inches long and
contains half a dozen cartridges set
in the groove. There are a number of
beautiful sea shells and other curios.
Several pages from a Spanish harbor
inspectors book dated 1918 We're in the
bundle. The writing on the parchment
is barely legible and is of the old style
Spanish penmanship.

AMUSE MENTS.
Hoyt,s ga Bunch of Keys"

At the Margaret next Sunday even
ing the ever successful farce comedy,
"A Bunch of Keys" will be presented
by the talented soubrette, Ada Bothner
and a strong company of favorite COM
edians and singers. 1t is a curious
medley of ridiculous situations and
amazing perplexities, overlooking with
unexpected denouments with drollery
enough to make 1t irresistible. The
interest of the audience is not allow
ed to lag for a moment, and so clev-
erly is 1t arranged that eager expect
ancy is the prevailing sentiment for
fun of a rollicking kind. "a Bunch of
Keys" is decidedly entitled to first

FOOT BALL AND THE RACES
MADE SPORT FOR THOSE WHO
TURNED OUT.
A. & M. COLLEGE DEFEATED BINGHAM
BY the Decided Score of i8 to @. The Removal
ofExhibits Began Yesterday and Flo
raj Hall Will be Dis
mantlcd Today.

With yesterday the State Fair o. 1896
closed so far as the general public is
concerned; it remains only for the Off
Gals to cast up the accounts, announce
the awards, pay the premiums and re-
ceive the congratulations of friends upon
the undoubted success that the Fair has
been from the point of view of exhibits
and crowds.
1t is perhaps not an extravagant esti-
mate to say that on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday of this week
10000 visitors were admitted to the
grounds, and while there has been some
criticism, as is always the case, there
is no denying that judged by the usual
standards the Fair has been a great
success, and that large majority of
those who came to it went away quite
we'll satisfied with the use they made Of
their money.
Yesterday the chief attractions were
the races beginning at / p. M, and the
game of football between the teams of
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
and Bingham School, of Asheville. The
crowd in attendance was perhaps num-
bered 5000 people, and so far as amuse-
ments were concerned it was one of the
best days of the Fair for, however en-
spring the immense crowd of Thursday
may have been it was rather in its own
way.
The success of the Fair has been due
in large measure to the unremitting in
dustry of President Battle, Secretary
Pogue and Treasurer benson, all of
whom have made sacrifices of time and
private interests for the Fair. They at
least have the consolation of knowing
that their work has been appreciated by
those who know best what it has been
and what it requires to get up a fair of
the sort they gave the State this year.
The exhibits this year, both those i'll
Floral Hall and the animal exhibits,
have been especially satisfactory to visi-
tors, as | know from the expressions of
opinion / have heard from hundreds
during the week. The Biitmore and
Occoneechee farms have been a reyela-
ton to the thousands of agriculturalists
who visited the Fair and have attracted
much attention from them.

THE FOOTBALL GAME.
Bingham School Was Rather Outclass-
ed by its Opponents.

As an exhibition of football the game
yesterday between Bingham school, of
Asheyille, and the A. Il Nj. college was
not particularly satisfactory to the
knowing ones, but it was none the less
interesting to the many who were on
the gridiron while it was in progress
In both weight and training the A. d NJ
team had the advantage of their oppon-
ents, and the result of the game was
never in doubt after the first few minutes
of play. The weather was too hot for
snappy football and barring individual
exceptions both teams played slow ball
and were rather lethargic in rushes and
tackling. Bingham's one strong point
was in getting down the field after a
kick off. but its tackling, line bucking
and interference were faulty. Neither
eleven showed good team work, and
while the A. & NJ. college had good
system of interference and used it for

ROYAL & BORDEN PRIZES.
Seven Premiums Awarded Their Big
Exhibit at the Fair.

The mammoth exhibit of the Royal
& Boden Furniture Company came in
for plenty of premiums at the hands of
the committee of awards Of the State
Fair, receiving no less than seven first
prizes. First and best it received the
premier distinction of gold medal for
the best and finest display of any kind
in the main exhibition building. The
other premiums awarded it were for:
The best display of furniture.
The best display of office furniture.
The best display of house furnishing
goods.
Best mattresses, three to be exhibited
not otherwise shown.
Display of a model setting room.
The best display of baby carriages.
The exhibit attracted much attention
during the Fair by immense size, variety
and the excellent taste of its arrange
ment.
