developed at the Bates House in the per-
son of Elisha Day, of Chicago, and the
story of the victim is as follows: Mr.. Day
is a liumorist and entertainer and arrived
in the city Saturday night. going at once
to a room in the Bates House. No atten-
ZION was paid to him until, about 1880. he
came down to the office and asked to be
directed to the Lotus Club building. He
was in evening dress and seemed surprised
when the hotel employees told him there
was no such building III the city.
why" he said, there must be, for
am engaged to appear there tonight"
He was again assured that no such place
existed in the city and then the hotel peo-
pie displayed a desire tc know more of the
matter. The story told was that Louis r.
Adams had engaged him to appear at an
entertainment before the Mythical Club
and although the statement was not made.
1t was supposed that Adams levied the
usual booking fees for several such 'en-
gISements." Mr. Day returned to Chicago

COLD WEATHER AGAIN.
Mercury Goes Chasing Downward
Again.

Yesterday was cold day and last night
the weather was of the kind to make peo-
pie appreciate the warmth of a luxurious
fire, If they had one. The cold wave an
nounced by the weather bureau on Satur-
day came along yesterday all right. Be-
tween 2 and o'clock yesterday morning
mercury fell five degrees. From that time
on the descent was gradual.
At s o'clock last night the Thermometer
stood five degrees above zero with a
promise from the weather bureau that
there would be zero weather before morn
ing. At noon yesterday the thermometer
indicated ten degrees above. and about 4
o'clock il was one degree warmer the sun
coming out rather bright about that time.
By O'Clock. however. mercury was on the
downward track again.
At the weather bureau last night ii was
said that the cold weather in the north
west abating, and this change will
probably be felt here in a day or two. Be-
tween 10 o'clok Saturday night and o'clock
last night there was a fall of thirty three
degrees in temperature, according 10 the
readings at the weather bureau.
