Getting SicIer and SicIer.
Somehow the Democratic campaign
managers are not managing things to
suit the Nevada Republicans. Every
move made so far by the National Com
mittee is criticised by the Republican
press. The poor fellows who do the
whistling for the Nevada Republicans
will get sicker and sicker as the cam
paign progresses.-Elko Independent.

The same old gangs are in the political
saddles Of both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties that have been there
for the past ten years. No "new blood"

blame them? Position is worth more

registered 80 below zero at Z o'clk
on Tuesday morning. Notwith
standing the extremely low temper
ature the merry jingle of the sleigh
bells makes music to the ear ane
jolly sled loads have been feature
every evening this week.
There's fun in counting
Midst the winters sporting,
When the sleigh flying over the crusted snow,
Aud the bells are jingling
And your ears are tingling,
With the mercury at zero or six below.
But some would rather
Wait for warmer weather,
And sit in the shade on grassy knoll,
Where the birds are singing
And the flowers are springing,
And court her under her parasol.

The Weather.

This section of country mas ex-
perienced some unusually severe
weather the past week. Snow fell
Friday night and Saturday morn
ing to the depth of several inches.
1t continued stormy all day Satur-
day, the snow turning to hail and
fine rain in the afternoon, freez-
ing into crust, which prevented
drifting by the high wind which
sprang up. The mercury started
on a downward course and by Mon
day morning reached two degrees
below zero. 1t remained steadily
cold all day and Tuesday morning
thermometers in the town register
ed 60 below zero, some going as low
as 50 below. Reports from differ
ent localities in the neighborhood
show the mercury went still lower,
|12o and 14o below zero being re-
corded. There was but little abate-
ment in the severe weather all day,
the mercury again dropping toward
evening, showing zero at eight
O'Clock and Wednesday morning
being repetition of Tuesday in
regard to degree of coldness. Dur
ing the day the weather moderated,
the mercury mounting higher than
it had at any time since Friday.
The snow. with its hard crust,
combined with the comparatively
smooth condition of the roads, made
ideal sleighing, and notwithstand-
ing the bitter weather few cutters
were tempted out Sunday. Since
then they have been running thick
and fast, the moonlight nights
tending to make the sport almost
perfect-barring the biting zero air.
Queen street has been converted
into a speedway, and every eve
ming the fast oues are sent over the
course at rattling clip, the rivalry
among the owners of the high step
pers leading Il frequent exciting
brushes. -
