 To Meet Saturday.
 The committee will meet at the head quarters In the Metropolitan annex on Saturday at noon. Plans for organizing the campaign will be discussed.
 There was an air of hustle about head quarters yesterday. Hon. John B. Knox, Governor Jelks and other friends of the constitution were there at intervals dur ing the day.
 There was no disposition to discuss for publication the organization of the oppo- sition headed by General Shelley further than the opinion that the forming of the opposition would have a tendency to dis pei the lethargy that has so far existed and thus help the friends of the measure perhaps more than It's enemies.
 Underwood Names Slogan.
 MT Underwood expressed the greatest confidence in the result
 Tt will be a campaign of education" said he. There will be no personalities in- dulged in and our slogan will be, White Supremacy! Honest Elections! and the New Constitutioni-One and Inseparable"
 MT. Knox left yesterday for Alontgom- cry. He is pleased with the selection of the committee, and says the constitution will win. There will be work of course, but the committee is equal to 1t.
 Anything worth having is worth some work" said he. ''I have no doubt but that the ratification will be given, but a canvass will be necessary. I understand that Congressman Underwood will con- duct strong campaign and that the mat ter will be set before the people In straightforward manner"
 Governor Jelks Here. | Governor William D, Jelks spent yester- day and last night in Birmingham, and will leave this morning for Montevallo, where he will participate in the opening exercises of the Girls Industrial School. The Governor came here, he said, to at tend to some personal business, and also some official matters. Asked as to the nature of his official business, he said l there was nothing Tn that line that he could make public at this time.
 T had no appointment here of pollt- | ical character" said Governor Jelks, but being here, I did not eschew politics It would be useles, of course, for me to say that am not interested In politics. l am confident that the new constitution will be ratified by a strong majority The men who are organizing an opposition move ment should see that they are leading a | forlom hope'

A METEOR'S FLIGHT.
A Giant OF the Skies Sails Across the Heav.
ems Like A Comet

Last Tuesday night as the gibbous
moon was just peeping over the eastern
hills, a monster meteor shot athwart
the skies like veritable comet The
direction of the light was from south
west to northeast, and the flaming aster-
old seemed to stretch to a length OF a
quarter OF mile. An explosion like a
faint rumble Of thunder could be heard
in the direction of the Columbia river.
1t appeared to be full minute before
the fiery trail disappeared from the sky,
and the eastern side OF town was as
light as though Illuminated by light
ming flash of that duration. 1t was one
of the most remarkable exhibitions of
heavenly pyrotechnics ever witnessed
here.

COLD WAVE CAUSED
GREAT SUFFERING,

Short.

The radical change to the extreme cold
weather of yesterday caused more discom-

prepared, especially among the poor, and
the charitable organizations. as a result,
We're besieged with sufferers, who begged
for relief. The Overseers Of the Poor, espe-
cially in East St. Louis and Belleville, were
kept busy all day. Telephones in the vari-
GUS coal offices were kept in action with
requests from customers for increased sup
plies of fuel Immediately. Very few OF
these requests were filled because OF the
difficulty in getting the coal in the railroad
yards.
On the Eads Bridge yesterday morning
the heavy transfer and coal wagons blocked
one side of the bridge, and the street car
tracks were ice-bound on the other side.
AS a result, the cars made but two trips
before noon. Hundreds of shopgirls and
men employed on one side of the river and
living on the other were compelled either
to walk the Eads Bridge or to return to
their homes. The freezing weather had a
depressing effect on business of all sorts.
All of the trains on the East Sid were
from an hour to half u dozen hours late
all day yesterday. The telegraph and rail-
road offices were kept busy answering aues-

several months ago. Having no other place
to go he slept in a fodder shock. The aver
age shock Of fodder covers about eight
square feet. Troemmel's furniture, when
he lost his home, consisted of Il stove. a
table and some bedciothing. There was
not any room in the shock for the stove.

available space. Even the storing OF these
required strict economy. When he finishes
his meals. the dishes are put on the stove
on the outside and the bedclothing on top
of the table. On this Troemmel sleeps. He
Is no. able to work and has hitherto sub

he seems perfectly content.
