SNOW FALLS
in low A TOWN
COLD WAVE PREDICTED FOR
SOUTHEASTERN IOWA TO-
NIGHT ON THE WAY.

Two inches of snow is the report
which comes over the wires from
Strawberry Point, Clayton county and
Ottumwans who have been compelled
to be out much today are willing to
agree that the breezes which have
been sweeping UP and down the paved
streets of Otutmwa must be coming d.
rectly from Strawberry Point. The
weather bureal predicts cold wave
for. the south and east portions Of the
state for tonight.
Iowa has done surprisingly we'll this
fall. According to all reasonable ex-
pectations storm and cold wave
should have swept over the state i'm
mediately preceding or upon Thanks
giving day. The present cold wave
and the still greater one which Is pre-
dicted for tonight is probably that one
delayed for week or ten days. Con-
sidering the fine summer and the long
period of fall weather, Iowans can
have but little complaint against the
weather mixer this year.

raised her hand in gentle protest and
the audience politely contained itself
until she spoke one of Mr.. Fitch's
jokes.
Showered With Flowers.
At the close, after she had spoken
the eDilogue which Mr.. Fitch has
hewed for her, the audience, in place
OF starting hurriedly for the exits, re-
mained to again applaud and applaud
until the curtain had been raised and
lowered half-dozen times and the
actress had her arms filled with bou-
quets Of lilies of the valley and violets
/ thrown by party from a stage box.
In short, every possible advantage
was taken to prove to Mrs. Gilbert
that she was Loyalty remem bered and
generously admired. There appeared
to be not one person in the audience
who was out of sympathy with the
bond OF sentiment that stretched over
the dividing line of incandescents. and
this made the occasion a particularly
| pleasing one.
| Mrs. Gilbert appeared even stronger
physically than she did upon the oc-
! casion of her previous visits during
the past few years. She spoke dis
tinctly and with good emphasis, sell
dom haltingly as might be expected
and always with an eagerness that
proved her interest and her feeling OF
responsibility for the success of the
evening. In one or two scenes there
was strong suggestion Of that graceful
/, appreciation of comedy which was fo,
years her noticeable gift.

A GREAT
!. BLUNDER
so UREY wooDsoN CHARACTER.
IzEs THE NOMINATION OF
JUDGE PARKER.

Owensboro, KY, Dec. 2.-Urey
Woodson, the man who succeeded
Charles Walsh of Ottumwa, Iowa, as
secretary of the democratic national
committee. is editor of the Owensboro
Messenger and the Paducah News
Democrat. In leading editorial he
gives Judge Parker mild roast. The
editorial is in part as follows:
ut was not Roosevelt's great per-
sonal popularity that caused the So
called landslide, but the refusal of
many thousands of regular dem ocrats
to take an interest In .h@ candidacy of
Judge Parker after his gold telegram
to the st. Louis convention, the disap-
pointing language of his speech of ac.
ceptance and his failure until the last
days of the campaign to make an ag-
gressiye fight against the trusts
and tariff-protected interests. The re.
turns show a total democratic and re-
publican vote of only 12,S50,000; in
1900 the two great parties polled 49,
566,055, showing falling off of more
than 100000 votes. Taking the coun.
try as a whole, Roosevelt polled 400,
900 votes more than Mckinley re-
ceived in 1906. not more than natural
increase, while Parker received 1,150,
1000 fewer votes than were cast fol
Bryan four years ago. In Missouri
where the indignation of the gold tele
gram was marked, Cook, democrat
though defeated by $4,000 for secretary
of state, polled 1000 more votes thar
Parker. In nearly every state in the
union thousands of democrats stayed
at home, thus giving Roosevelt an un
precedented majority. If Bryan or an,
southern democrat had been nominated
at st. Louis who now doubts he would
have polled at least 100000 more
votes than were cast for Parker? W.
say this not in criticism of those wht
nominated Parker We were of then
and with them Those who nominated
him could not foresee events that tran
spired after his nomination. His selec
ton then seem ed wisest and best, bu
lit was the most stupendous mistake

Nearly so years old, Mrs. Gilbert

all the popular plays of three score
years and this year was starring in

her by Clyde Fitch. On Tuesday even

production at Powers theatre In Chi

with a surging roar, that grew in vol

TIERS FOR NORTHERN ARMY
4. DIVISION.

Washington. D. c., Dec. after
the completion Of the new postoffice in
Des Moines, Captain j. A. T. Hull has
a definite program in mind to enhance
Des Moines as military center. He
proposes to make 1t the divisional
headquarters for the northern division
of the army, including the department
of Missouri, Lakes and Dakotas. The
headquarters of the major general
commanding the division is now at st.
Louis, at one side of the division. I'm
der the new arrangement. the gener-
ais headquarters would be near the
geographical center and much more
convenient. divisional offices would
then be necessary.
1t is the intention to utilize the old
postof1ice and federal building in Des
Moines for this purpose.

FEW CHANCES FOR AN EXTRA
SESSION OF CONGRESS

New York, Dec. 2.--The Washington
correspondent of the Herald telegraphs
his paper as follows:
President Roosevelt has been so
overwhelmed in the last few days with
anti-tariff revision opinion that the
stand patters" say he has practically
abandoned all idea of urging any
change in the present schedules for at
least a year. Certain it is that sena-
tors and representatives who have
been at the White House in the last
two days have nearly all expressed the
opinion that there will be no extra
session of congress for the purpose Of
tariff revision.
Only for Minor Changes.
Among the actual representatives of
the people in congress, it is said by a
man who has measured the sentiment,
enir.e-tenths of those comforting with
the President have opposed an extra.

session for tariff revision and have
been willing to agree only to minor
changes in the administrative features
Of the tariff law at any time
President Roosevelt, while himself
irciined to lean toward some revision
CO the tariff, insisted at the start that
h. would form no decisive opinion un-
til he had an opportunity to confer
with members of congress from all
parts of the country. Senate leaders in
public interviews and in conversation
with the President have not hesitated
to say that they would combat any
tariff revision to the bitter end
Speaker Cannon was almost as
emphatic in his arguments
against an extra session. The
President was tald that if there
was any public issue at all in the last
campaign it was the tariff, and thai
the country voted to continue present
ea.,s7itir no.
