Last Friday was bad Friday il
the extreme sense of the word. The
wind blew a gale from the north
west. A few fakes of snow fell.
The latter didn't cut much ice, how
ever, but the dust took its place,
and through every little crack in
house or store or Office the dust
was forced through as a reminder

blizzard can do. During Friday
night the thermometer tumbled
from Is to Is degrees below zero
and on Saturday morning at eight
it was still fourteen below. This
cold weather was strengthened by
the stiff northwest wind and it was
almost impossible to go II or IA
blocks without stopping on account
of the cold weather.

Wednesday afternoon to the effect
that Mrs. A. Bastian, formerly OF

May, upon the whole, will bring
favorable weather.
