REAL WINTER WEATHER HERE

Mercury Falls to Eight Degrees BE.
low Zero in This City.
This city in common with the whole
Judith basin country and a large pro-
portion of the state. has been getting
its first real taste of winter weather
this year. The cold snap, which set
in Saturday, still continues. but there
are indications Of a change. The Their
mometer has lowered around the zero
mark all the time sometimes dipping
well below it, a cutting east wind has
prevailed nearly all of the time. The
snowfall has been very light. but ow-
ing to the gale. heavy drifts have FORM
ed all over the county. a regular bliz.
card prevailing on some of the ranges.
1t is reported that at some points. the
mercury has fallen to Is degrees below
zero. but eight degrees below is the
lowest point touched here, as shown
by the thermometer at the weather
station. On March 3 at p. m. the mer.
curry stood at %. the maximum for
the "a hours being 80 and the mini.
mum22. The next day. Saturday, Mar
eli 10, the mercury registered 8 at
6 p. m, the maximum for the "a hours
being "a and the minimum g. On Sun
day at p. m. the thermometer regis
tered l, the maximum for "a hours
being 10 and the minimum below re
ro-the coolest yet recorded in Lewis
town.
At 6 o'clock last night the mercury
showed three degrees below zero, the
maximum for "a hours being one de-
gree above zero and the minimum for
the same previous period three de-
grees below. The lowest point reached
during last night was five de.
grees below zero. At 8 o'clock this
morning, the thermometer showed
three degrees below zero.
II is likely that the cold, high winds
and drifted snow combined will result
in some losses of livestock, but as the
stock men were well prepared 70,
emergencies, and really expected
some such experience as is now being
gone through, the probabilities are
that the losses will be light, unless
the existing conditions should con
tinue for some time. The Great Fall:
stage, due here early yesterday morn
ing. did not get in until $50 last night
and the railroad train. due at $50 wa,
several hours late, owing to the heav.
snow drifts, many Of the cuts beinf
completely filled.

Death of Here IL. Lord.

The news of the sad death Of Jere IL.
Lord at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt which
occurred Sunday evening last, was re-.
ceived here Monday morning, and com
ing to his stricken family in this place
without a moments warning, is grief
added to the many they have been cal
led upon to bear, and the expressions
of sympathy from their wide circle OF
friends are most sincere.
Mr.. Lord became member of Troop
II. last August and much was hoped for
from military life as to its effect upon
his health, which had always been deli
cate. dis new experience seemed to be
beneficial to him but, unfortunately, he
was stricken with pneumonia which
confined him to the hospital for three
months. When able to travel he was
granted a Through which he passed
with his sisters and brother in this
place, returning to Fort Ethan Allen
but few weeks since.
A funeral with military honors was
held at Fort Ethan Allen on Tuesday
afternoon, after which the body was
given over to the care of the relatives
and taken to Steep Falls, Me, the for
mer home of the family. Services are
held at that place today and interment
will be made in the family lot beside
his parents.

The Dunnack Lecture.

A fair sized audience, but not as large
as should have greeted the man and
subject, assembled at the Methodist
church, Monday evening, and listened
for an hour to a scholarly and eloquent
portrayal of the scenes of the battle of
Gettysburg and especially of the part
that Maine regiments took in that con-
test, the speaker being Rev. Henry E.
Dunnack Of Augusta.
The audience was first led to under
stand that Gettysburg ranked in import
ance with Marathon, .Poictiers and
Waterloo, contests in each of which the
worlds history hung in the balance, and
then came the story of Maine men, show
ing that they held the critical points on
this most famous field of the civil war
when their failure to do 80 would have
meant NEST serious disaster to Union
arms
The thanks of Skowhegan people are
due to General Isaac Dyer, who arrang
ed for Mr.. Dunnack TO come here, be-
leving the lecture would have an in
fluence for good and a source OF patro-
ito inspiration of al that heard it. The
General assumed the financial RESPONSE
bility of the lecture himself, making it
free to everyone, only permitting those
to share with him in the expense who
choose to do through collection which
was received at the close of the address.
A choir composed of Messrs. Watson and
Nye, Mrs. Sawyer and Mrs Bragg, with
Miss Vosmus as organist, donated til cir
services to the occasion
Mr.. Dunnack il to visit ekowhegan in
the early future, probably on March
10Th. His subject at that time will be
the Initiative and Referendum.
