PASSES ON TO DIXIE.
Cold Wave Leaves Washington for
Winter Resort Section.

1.-THE backbone of the cold wave has been
broken" was the declaration Of Prof. A. J.
Henry, official weather forecaster, while in
conversation with Star reporter this fore
noon.
1--WE will have rising temperature and
tomorrow promises to be warmer than to-
day.
The cold wave which recently fingered in
this vicinity has passed on to Dixie. and
low temperatures were reported this morn
ing as far south as Jupiter, Fla, where
frost formed last night. Frost at Jupiter is
regarded one of the rarest of rarities.
hence the OvercoatleSS deniZenS of that
place are reported to be suffering with the
cold as consequence. Prof. Henry said
the reports today showed that the weather
is now colder in the south than it is in the
north and east.
With rising temperature in Washington
and storm coming In over the Pacific
coast from sea, complete meteorological
turnabout is expected.
The minimum temperature here this
morning was % degrees being Is degrees
higher than at the same time yesterday
morning At IL o'clock today the weather
bureau thermometers registered 31--one de-
gree below the freezing point 1t is expect
ed to go about q degrees above freezing be-
fore the day is over.

north wind was adding to the suffering of
pedestrians. 1t is recorded that the lowest
previous Christmas temperature in the me-
neurological annals occurred in 1872, when
the thermometers registered s degrees
above zero.
AS a contrast may be recalled the Christ
mas days of 1880 and 1898. The maximum
reached those days was 81 degrees, which
is almost summer temperature. Every
house had it's doors and windows open, and
many persons, partly for the novelty of it
and partly for the comfort of little cool
ing breeze ate their dinners out of doors.
The lightest of clothing was worn and
many wondered If the season had been
turned topsy-turvy to stay.

mum was 10 degrees; Philadelphia, II de-

Shea Still on Trial.

CHICAGO. December 26.-Continued ar
guments between counsel relative to proper
testimony consumed the greater part of tie
early session in the Shea trial today The
attorneys for the defense sought to intro
duce evidence relative to trouble between
Montgomery, Ward & Co. and the garment
workers which antedated the strike of the
transfers. The state strenuously opposed
the admission of the evidence. Judge Ball
repeatedly was called upon to rule as he
ruled yesterday, that the defense could in
troduce evidence regarding the controversy,
but could not produce anything touching
upon the merits of the trouble.

The Republican nominee for the
State Senate in this district, Hon.
o. A. Ashburn, is receiving most
hearty endorsement as a gentleman
most worthy of representing this
district in the higher branch of the
legislature. There appears to be no
man of higher or better standing
with the people than he, and, es-
pecially is this true with the teach
,ers, of whom he has been one of the
truest and best a number of years.
His great intellectual and moral
worth is well shown by the follow
ing testimonial and endorsement by
the teachers institute of Doddridge
county, made up of both Repub-
leans and Democrats, which in It's
resolutions eaid:
EeThat by the able, honest, con-
scientious, and diligent discharge

emit of Free Schools of Doddridge

respect and confidence of the teach
of this county, and it is with a
degree of pride that they point to

feeling of regret, that the teachers

Harrison county is to be favored
with two Institutes this year. The
first will be held at Shinnston on
Friday and Saturday of the present
week and the other at Lost Creek
Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Last year there was but one 1t
was held at West Milford.
The West Milford institute was
quite well attended and good inter-
est was shown. Doubtless much
good was done, but a advanced
step has been taken this year, IA
shown by the progrem published in
another column of the current issue
of The Telegram. A special point
is that capable instructors have
been chosen and secured. 1t is
also worthy of note that the Board
of Agriculture of-the State is lend
ing a helping hand in arranging the
program, securing instructors and
enlisting an interest in these all
uabIe meetings. A casual glance at
the program convinces all that
timely subjects are to ha discussed
in a manner that will be OF profit to
the farmers in many ways.
