the service easily accessible to the

will necessitate an earlier start than
usual for the cars and clever work

Coolest And Shortest of The
Whole Year
Ground Frozen, Ice I'm Cutters and
Temperature Down TO 20 This
Morning.
THE DAYS WILL GROW LONGER.

Real winter, theoretically and in
reality. set In today, with a temper
AZURE of 29 above zero and the
ground frozen hard. It will be stlll
colder tonight and there is little
signs of thawing today.
The winter solstice is reached to-
day and this is the shortest of the
year. Tomorrow the day will be inn
perceptably longer and until the
summer solstice the period of light
will be gradually longer.
The Winter Solstice.
Though the 21st of December Is
generally accepted as the shortest
day in the year. it is not always SO.
the day of the year on which the
time between sunrise and sunset is
shortest varies from about the 18th
to the 23rd of December. This is be-
cause the natural year does not COIN
eide exactly with the calendar year,
the correction which keeps them to-
gether being the quadrennial resort
to the extra day of leap year.
At the winter solstice the day in
this latitude is less than nine hours
and half in duration while at the
summer solstice in June 1t Is only a
little less than Is hours between the
rising and the setting of the sun.
The axis of the earth's daily revo-

Ole Swanson's farm.
While going along near here,
through some weeds, the stop cock on
the watertank was brushed open, let

cause of the accident. The engine

st. Petersburg, Russia, July e.
Themeeting of the Congress of
Peasants unions representing "a
provinces, with delegates from the
social revolutionary and labor parties
and the Finnish Red Guard, was held
in Helsingfors yesterday. Congress
adopted resolution for a general
rising If parliament should be dis
solved and to make all preparations
for revolution, but to wait for the
signal from st. Petersburg.
The council of empire spent the
day in discussing rules of order. The
relative strength Of the liberals and
reactionaries was shown on the ques-
tion to deny the right to members of
the council to present popular de-
mands, which was rejected after a
warm debate.
Premier Goremykin and all the
members ofthe ministry except M.
Stolypin were present at yesterdays
sitting Of the council. The tone OF
their remarks tended to confirm the
surmise that the fall of the ministry
has been postponed on account of the
refusal Of the constitutional demo-
Gratis to participate IN a coalition
cabinet. Premier Goremykln yester-
day reiterated in private conversa-
tion statement that he was anxious to
retire.
Police activity against the "Pat.
riots" who are trying to incite anti
Jewish uprisings is reported from
various sections Of the country. The
local authorities evidently have
taken warning from the change in
sentiment in official circles at St
Petersburg since the publicity was
given to the Bialystok events.
