ICE MAN MORE HOPEFUL
AS MERCURY GOES DOWN
While Statistics Are Against Him Fact
Remains February is Often Cold
Month.

The ice man is once more hopeful.
With continuation of this visitation
of frigidity for a few days he can be-
gin his harvest with fair prospect
that there will be a month or more OF
favorable weather in which TO complete
it. While it is a fact that the average
lowest temperature during the past %
years in this vicinity has been on the
9th and 10th of January, with an aver
age of 16 degrees, during late years
much of the coolest weather has come
in February. Last year it was in
grounding month that the mercury
went down to % below 1t is natural
to look for compensation somewhere
along the line and with the early half
of the winter open it is natural to look
for chilly blasts in the latter part.

MADE LONG JUMP.
Weather Changed From April to
January Variety Within
80 Hours.
DROP OF ABOUT so DEGREES
Severest Storm of Winter Follows
Close Upon Record Breaking
High Temperatures.

From April back to the 22nd day of
January is a long leap to make in sc
hours. but that is the species of gym
nastics the weather has been up to
since Saturday night. From Saturday
till this morning the drop in tempera-
ture was about so degrees with the
prospect of a still further decline at
least to the zero point.
The change in weather has been one
of the most unique on record From
balmy Spring-like conditions which
broke local marks for the MONTH to
cold as severe as has been experience
ed during the winter, accompanied by
the heaviest snow of the year, all with
in 36 hours, is remarkable, even in
this changeable cline. Saturday ev-
ening it was so warm that it was I'M
comfortable to wear wraps, and peo-
pie actually sat on their porcheS. L.
would not have been much of a sur
prise to have heard mosquito buzzing
about. No one would suggest mos
quitoes or even piaZzas or absence of
wraps today.
Snow Not Troublesome.
There was a heavy fall of snow dur
ing the night and forenoon and it drift
ed badly. The street railway COM
pany's tracks were kept open and cars
were on schedule time. The steam
roads. too, made a good showing.
The greatest trouble was with the
wires. yesterdays sleet and rain freez-
ing on them and causing damage.
Service in the city was not so seri-
ously crippled as that out of town.
Most of the railway and the Postal
and Western Union telegraph wires
were out of commission during the
day, and it was exceedingly difficult to
get and keep connections.
The ferry, which had busy day of
it yesterday. retired to the boat yard
last night and did not reappear today.

Davenport is also to be benefited by
the reduction in freight tariffs that re-

to the business men across the river
