COLD SPELL TONIGHT.
Weather Bureau Officials Do Not Look
for Blizzard.

Washington will experience cold wave
tonight and tomorrow, and the temperature
may reach a minimum of 10 degrees above
zero, but there will be no blizzard here
abouts at present or in the very near fu-
ture, according to Prof Edward B. Gar
riott of the weather bureau. While Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Illinois are in the grasp Of
well-defined blizzard, the conditions In
this vicinity are not expected to reach such
severity.
The shutters and doors of Washington
banged and ratified last night under the
force of a wind which at times blew at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. This wind,
becoming westerly, rolled away the dense
fog which had enveloped the city since
early evening. So dense was the fog here
last night that pedestrianism became dan
gerous, and the brilliantly illumina ted street
cars only appeared as glares of subdued
light as they whirred past in the thick mist
banks.
ITS London fog. for fair said an Eng
lishman. land it's thick enough to cut with
a knife
Several collisions between men and teams
and vehicles and street cars were reported
but none of a very serious nature. This
fog was said by the weather officials to
have been general in the Atlantic coast re-
gion.
There was rainfall about l o'clock this
morning, and the weather forecasters say
the present cold wave will not be accom-
panied by snow.
1t is reported that Chicago was wind
swept last night, the blow reaching a We
locity of seventy-two miles an hour at 8
o'clock.

Could Get No Rest.

Freeborn. MINI. Oct. IL Especially
Mr.. r. f. Coward, a we'll known man
here. is rejoicing IN the relief from suf-
fering he has obtained through using
Dodd's Kidney Pills. His experience
is well worth repeating as it should
point the road to health to many an
other in similar condition.
81 had an aggravating case of Kid
ney Trouble" says Mr.. Coward, "that
gave me no rest day or night but using
a few boxes OF Dodd's Kidney Pills put
new life in me and feel like a new
man.
1 am happy to state have received
great and wonderful benefit from Dodd' g
Kidney Pills. 1 would heartily recon-
mend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble
to give Dodd's Kidney Pills fair trial
as have every reason to believe it
would never be regretted"
Dodd's Kidney Pills make you feel
like a new man or woman because they
cure the kidneys. Cured kidneys mean
pure blood and pure blood means
bounding health and energy in every
part of the body.

old, who, after a serious illness, died
The baby was buried in the cemetery
outside Of the town, his cradle serv-
ing as a coffin.
The father was very much detected
at the loss Of his little one, and, I'M
able to repress his grief, went to the
cemetery two days after the burial. 1t
At the entrance OF every Burmese
burial place there Is a zayat, or rest
house, wherein people gather and chat
end smoke and take shelter from the
sun or rain whenever they accompany
a funeral. On entering the graveyard
Maung Yum was not little surprised
to see his son, or at least some one
looking exactly like his son, playing In
the zayat, near the cradle. He was at
first horror-struck, but paternal affec-
ton getting the upper hand, he APP
preached the baby, and, to entice him.
gave him one pice.
The boy took the coin readily and
offered not the least resistance when
the father took him In his arms and
carried him away. Maung Yum could
make nothing out OF 1t but that the
child had been buried alive and that
somebody, attracted soon after by the
sounds coming from the grave, had
dug him out and placed him in the
zayat Full of joy, he carried his
treasure home.
At the entrance of the town, and
about a calls distance from his house
he met a neighbor. Nah Sein PwIn
who, wondering at what she saw
screamed out: rs that you, Ko Yum
carrying home your little sonf' Al
soon as the child heard the voice hs
began moving about In his father,
arms. Nah Sein Pwin and another
woman came to take 1t, and a short
struggle ensued between them and tn,
boy, and Maung Yum suddenly lost his
senses and fell heavily to the GROUND
The two women made a dash for the
be found; he had disappeared com
| pletely, leaving no trace behind
The unfortunate man was carried
home by some kindly neighbors, bu
he was long time In recovering hi.
| senses. The child was a ghost and thi
man had been carrying nothing but ar
apparition from the other world. Tha
it appeared real enough, the two won
en- are ready to swear, since they no
only saw, but touched 1t. 1t was IL,
| smoke or vanor but seemed To N,
flesh and bone. AS soon as Maunl
Yum was well enough to explain how
it happened, hurried visit was mad
to the cemetery In the hope Of, per
haps, seeing the boy In the zayat- Blu
they were disappointed; neither chill,
nor cradle was there, and the grav
was exactly as 1t had been left on tn
burial day, not in the least disturbed
