COLD WAVE IS COMING
TEMPERATURE MAY GO DOWN
 TO 25 TODAY.
Freezing Weather Predicted for Montgomery This Morning. The Rains Have Started
 Rises in the Rivers.

The Montgomery weather bureau issued warning yesterday morning for cold wave to strike this section today.
 At the time the warning was issued, warm, rainy weather prevailed in the South, with almost spring-like tempera- tura here. The warm weather was caused by a storm center then moving eastward over Kentucky. At the same time high bank of cold air was rolling southward over the Great Plains, giving tempera- lures of 16 degrees below zero In the. Da- kotas and sharp temperature falls as far south as West Texas,
 It is expected that the temperature will go to about freezing here by this morn ing and may go to 9 degrees or lower during tonight. or Monday morning.
 The warning has been given so far in advance and was so we'll distributed that very little damage should be sustained that the cold wave warning can avert
 The rain of yesterday has started a moderate rise in the Coosa and Alabama rivers which will help the boating inter ssts.

Shakespeare Always Has Something

 ''The man who does the cotton markets for The New Orleans Times-Democrat," said NJ R. Rawson of that city, always begins his story with a quotation from Shakespeare which Is germane to the condition of the mar lket. He has been doing this work for more than a decade has a story every day during the season, and has never repeated the same quotation. The men who monkey with cotton and stocks in New Orleans have long ago learned to say. Well, what has Shakespeare got to say about the markets this morning. I am not very familiar with the writing of the old gentleman. butt it must be that Shake speare had a great deal to say about mat ters and things pertaining to the dealings of cotton and stock men, else this newspaper man could not hold out he has in such con tinuous use of his writings to begin his market stories.

A Hot Shot.

Alva Adams, twice governor OF Colo
RADIO and the Democratic candidate for
the Office this year, told this story yes
terday at the Democratic convention to
few friends.
"Jud Brush was the candidate for lieu
tenant governor with me and we toured
the state together. He had the most re-
markable acquaintance OF any man l
ever knew. 1t seemed to me that he
actually knew everybody. Miners living
as recluses in out OF the way cabins, and
mayors Of towns were alike his acquaint-
ances and friends. He was Of immense
benefit to me in that campaign.
I'VE had spoken at Black Hawk and
we got man to drive US over to Central
City. where we had another meeting to
address. We were coming along the
road when a man driving burro ladden
with ore came along.
"'Hello Dan. how are your Brush
called out.
@.Fine. Jud, how be your asked the
man.
The man stopped to shake hands with
Brush and said that he understood that
Brush was running for lieutenant gov
ernor.
"'You ought to be the candidate for
governor, Jud, instead Of this man
Adams remarked the man.
II laughed and 30 did Brush and he
introduced US. The man looked me over
critically and then exclaimed:
"Well, Jud, what I said goes"
~ think that was the hottest shot l
ever got."1Rocky Mountain News.

Dropped Dead.

Fritz Boucher, well known young
man of this city dropped dead Tuesday
afternoon about o'clock in front of the
White House saloon. He came from the
state of Michigan when very young and
has resided here ever since. Until about
six months ago he was employed by
Jenkins, Mckay Co. driving one of the
delivery teams, when he became i'll, suf.
fering from kidney trouble, also being
ruptured, and being unable to work.
Lately he has been addicted to the NOR.
phine habit to relieve him OF pain, and
in some way may be accountable for his
sudden demise as bottle was found on
his person after he died. His father
dropped dead in this city sixteen years
ago in front OF what is now Stribley's
barber shop.
He was 20 years of age and his only
known relative is brother Nicholas who
the last heard OF was in Arizona about
year ago. The funeral occurs to-day
under the auspices Of the Knights OF
the Golden Eagle OF which he was a
member.
