WAVES FIRM GRIP
Ne Indication Of Thswing Weather for
Twenty Days Past
WELSH LOOKS FOR REACTION BY MONDAY
Expects Relief from the Present High
Pressure and Mercury May soon
Go Slightly Above
Freezing Point.

When the present and long continued cold
wave FIRST worked It's chilly way, wedge
shaped from away up In Canada twenty
days ago this morning It had a hrmer grip
on the situation thar was expected. II
kept on extending until the western Gulf
were reached, Texas and Louisiana
both feeling its presence very distinctly.
While the temperature has not been uni
formly cold, at no time during the last
twenty days has the local weather Office
received any substantial Indication Of the
Temperance Of thawing weather.
The present area Of high pressure ex-
tends from the points in Canada from which
reports are received here, south to the
Gulf, covering the country from the Rocky
mountains to and including the Mississippi
valley.
The report Of highest baromete came
from Swift Current. Asslnibola, where 1914
was registered. To the weather man a high
barometrical pressure signifies cold, and
30.74 is very high. The crest Of the high
pressure is now in the vicinity of Bismarck.
N. D., where the people are trying to look
pleasant with the thermometer at % de-
grees below zero. This is the owest tenn
p~erature reported yesterday within the
area covered by the cold wave.
Welsh on the Future.
"As to the future" said Forecaster
Welsh last evening. II feel safe In saying
there will be a reaction from the present
high pressure by Monday, but the extent
Of the change is a matter Of mere conjec-
ture, as the situation is substantially fea-
t~ureless. II should be remembered that
this suggested change does not felate to
Nebraska at large, but rather to the ex-
treme eastern edge, which section is sub
ject to the general conditions affecting
Iowa. for which state the latest predic-
ton is fair, with continued cold / do not
mean that we shall have thawing weather,
but we will have relief from the present
high pressure. and, to be sure, conditions
now emote and not of a determinative
character, may result In a gradual decline
Of pressure until thawing weather comes.
The decline of the thermometer during Sat-
urday afternoon has no special significance,
at least as an indication that below zero
points are going to be reached and held"

SCFtlEYS APPEAL TO TIE PRES
IDENT
The Departments "Comnent" Will
Be Printed in Day or
Two

The navy department has made pub
lie Admiral Schley's appeal, delivered
to the president about week ago.
The departments comment will be
published in day or two.
The following is the cyst of Admiral
Schley's appeal:
The majority failed to determine
who was in command at Santiago. a
fact which was absolutely necessary
to determine properly the propriety
of Schley's conduct in connection with
the whole campaign.
The individual opinion of Dewey
was eminently proper and wholly JUS
tilted by the evidence and the naval
regulations
1t is recited that Sampson signaled
"disregard motions commander-in-
chief" when he started eastward.
thereby comforting command upon
Schley.
That in the course of the contro-
versy Schley was made the object of
unjust accusations. affecting his per-
sonal and public character, which ac-
cusations were inspired by those who
sought to establish the fact that he
did not command at the battle and
owing to such accusations he has suf
fered much injury.

Reasons for His Candidacv


p@titor. Governor Davis.
Reasons for His Candidacy
IN 1889, Whom a candidate for Cover
nor. he said in his opening address
that he made the race at the soljcita-
ton OF no enc. but on his own motion.
The results showed i. and there Was
FeFE little behind him When he get
through. He WAS nov before the
fa94le under &tffereEt @4snices. six
weeks ego tie press had mentioned
his name for the o1ica. bnt he had
then nc solicitation 6f desire to rua
i}at as tine went On imeortHaities
aeeamc greet, aRa he had IN the last
few Weai5s raeetEed eFte soc lsttees
from different people from all parts
of the state. urging him to make tie
race Therefore he considered tha
conditions much different and mere
ausrisious than When he made his fer
nler race.
His Platform.
This being an off year ia national
politics he deemed it Of most import
sues. He was in favor of trying to
bring Arkansas to the front, believing
it to be the duty of the hour to bri3g
our great resources to the attention o:
the invester and homeseekar. Profes-
sor Branner was authority for the
statement that Arkansas was the
richest state in the Union in minerals.
coal. etc. and the DEVELOPMENT of
these vast resources was what most
concerned us.
He would advocate new capitol
and good one. Arkansas has about
$400,000 600 taxable valuation of
property. although it should be re
membered that only about One-third
OF that amount was represented on
the assessment roll good capitol
could be erected without working
hardship on anybody. Governor Da-
Wis asked me if voted for the capi-
tol bill. | reply that i did and am
proud of it He ridiculed the idea
of Governor Davis pretending to save
the state from a one and one-half mil
ernor to point out the thieves if he
could. He had the opinion of MI
Murphy that the bill providing for
the building was the hest that could
have been drafted; that it was proper
ly guarded against extravagant ex-
penditures and the most economical
bill that could have been devised
Only $50,0GO had been appropriated
for that purpose and the bill provided
that succeeding legislatures should
other money as realized
from the sale of lands; and a great
deal of labor would be done by con
victs without cost The committee
having the bill in charge decided that
the building could be erected for 81,
600 ,000 with the help Of the cOnvicts
It should he remembered that work
worth $4,000 to s100 coo has already
been done hv the c0nvicts. The ar
chitect whom they sent for end
who says the hui'dira would cost two
and Cne-half millions did not say it
would cost that much if convict5 did
the work and did not state that ma
terial bad gone mp 33 8 per cent
And Governor Davis had the effront-
cry to claim that he had saved the
state from one and one-half million
dollar steal. He doesn't tell the rea-
son why the capitol was not located
3n the present site It was because
the frontage is only 900 feet and tho
architect had said that it could not
be placed on that site and be provid
cd with the imposing appearance
which was desired. 1t was not to be
erected for the present only and was
not to be a clap trap affair, but one to
