dav and Saturday, the Ist and End.
Indicate that reactionary disturb
ance will be central on those dates,
causing a rise In temperature, falling
barometer and scattering storms and
SQUALLS of rain and snow from about
the LIST to the Bird.
A sharp sudden rise ofthe barome-
ter and change to colder will follow
close after these disturbances, but
sudden change to storm conditions
will come about the 9Th in western
extremes.
About Wednesday, the 9th, to Sun
day, the 10th, storms of wind, rain
and snow will make their transit
from west to east across the country.
A decided cold wave will be well adj
vanced from the northwest before
the low barometer and storms Of this
period reach the Atlantic.
Only a brief intermission will inter
vene between this Vulcan period and
the reactonary change due from the
18th to the 18th. New moon on the
18th will check the tendency to high
barometer and cold, and sudden re
turn to warmer, low barometer and
rain and snow will be natural about
Monday, the 18th, to Thursday, the
18th. These reactionary storms VIII
be followed by IA more persistent and
general change to wintry conditions,
and sharp cold will be general over
central and northern sections for sev-
eral days leading up to the Vulcan
storm period central Oh the 18th.
Some Of the most decided storms Of
the month may be expected from
about Sunday the 18th 10 Tuesday

crisis on and touching TIE 10th rain
wind and thunder being followed in
many sections within Il few hours by

last storms will react to warmer from
the 23rd to the Goth Look for many
more storms, largely of II blizzardous
character, not more than 4S hours
before or after shutdown on the 25th,
followed rapidly by great rise of
the barometer and rushing cold wave
that viii be felt far to the south.
A regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the last day of November.
Marked autumnal storms will be
brewing, If not already in progress,
as the month goes out. The climax
of this period will most likely fall in
the opening days of December, but
the first stages will be attended by
very low barometer and change to
much warmer, followed at first by
general and heavy rains. Later the
rain will turn to general and DIES
TRuoTIvE sLEEr, and this in turn to
real snow storm and blizzard over

DoUBLY ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
A Stranger Accused of Passing Two
worthless Checks Here

A man conversant with theatrical COM
panies. giving the name of Frank Con-
nelly, his age forty years, and his home
New York, was arrested last night by
Detective Trumbo, charged with passing
worthless checks. Two cases so far ap-
pear against him, ON complaints by E. L.
Johnson, of the Hotel Johnson, and Lit
tlefield & Alvord The prisoner occupies
a cell at the First precinct station, await
ing hearing today.
Connolly came here from New York
Friday last and registered at a down
town hotel. where it is said he is known.
Saturday he visited the Hotel Johnson,
and yesterday he called at the office of
Littlefield & Alvord, At the hotel the
prisoner exhibited a check for so, drawn
on the Garfield National Bank. of New
York. This he wanted cashed, and his
representations were such that Mr.. John
son agreed to take the check for cash.
Connolly repeated this clever dodge yes
terday, when called on Littleiield & Al
word, and a check for SIS, drawn on the
Garfield bank, was cashed for him. No
thought that anything was wrong came
to Mr.. Johnson until yesterday, when he
was informed from New York that the
check of Connolly was not good. Similar
news reached Littlefield & Alvord last
night. Reports to the police from both
sources in the alleged fraudulent transac-
tions led to an investigation. Detectives
Tyser and Trumbo Were sent in search of
Connolly, and the latter took him into
custody.
In his work the police say Connolly
represents himself manager for a the
atrical company soon to appear in this
city. Word from the Garfield National
Bank, however is that Connolly has ne
account there. The police still have the
nv W
ing to learn something of his past 1t is
known that Connolly has been in this city
before on several occasions. He declined
70 make any statement last night.

spect to the memory of Mr.. Mckinley. A
