 Halloween was little too cold for some of our neighbors to stay out doors watching their kitchen gardens. Some of them were well protected with an overcoat and shot gun. One man in particular had an old Queen Anne loaded with lead spoons and stood on guard by the kitchen stove protect ing his cabbage patch, and when the boys came to look over that patch, the owner was of that Queen Anne was so bewildered that the boys had time to get off nearly to the town line be- fore the report of that fire alarm was heard, and then it sounded as if it came from one of their old flint locks. It was so long coming that the report died in the distance, but the boys were very much alive and were so far away that they did not even hear the sound of that gun. ........--.

Extra v. M. c. A. Course Number
Proves Popular Musical Treat.
The concert Of the Parland- Newhall
company, given at the Methodist
church Wednesday night, which was
NJ. C. A. entertainment course, proved
to be the popular musical number of
the winter.
The company, consisting of four
people, appearing as a male quartet,
brass quartet, vocal and instrumental
soloists and bell ringers, was able to
supply every demand Of the large aud
fence. The regular program consisted
Of nine numbers, but the generosity Of
the performers in answering Sencores
heightened it to three times that num-
Der In one instance four encores were
given before the audience was salts
fed.
The four gentlemen, ]. Lincoln New
hall, first tenor and cornet; Stewart
A Smith, second tenor and French
horn; Willis c. Maupin, first base and
cornet soloist, and Ralph H. Parland,
second bass and trombone, who COM
prise the company, are artists in every

but their brass numbers were equally
good, and they rang sweet music from
the bells.
The most pretentious, and probably
the most artistic number Of the pro-
gram was "Miserere," from the prison
scene Of II Trovatore. This humber
was arranged for the piano, cornet
and French horn, male quartet and
tenor solo, by Mr.. NeWhall. It's rendi-
ton was thoroughly artistic. Two de-
lightful quartet numbers were Poe's
"Annabel Lee" with Won de Waters
arrangement, and Sullivan's THE Lost
Chord"
A cantata called "The Grasshopper,"
based on the ditty of the grasshopper
that sat on sweet potato vine and
was eaten by a turkey gobbler, showed
the versatility of the performers in the
clever manner in which it was given.
Among the excellent brass quartet
numbers was the "Pilgrim's Chorus"
from Wagner's opera "Tannhauser."

Was Forty-t,po Below
Forty-four Years Ago.

We can be thankful for at least one
thing this early i'll the new year, ana
that is that the weather man isn't re-
peating the history of forty-four years
ago on New Years day.
On Jan. /, 1854. what was without
doubt the coolest wave that ever
swept over the entire United States,
sent the mercury in most parts OF
Iowa down to 40 degrees below zero.
In Marshalltown many thermometers
registered AZ, and that was generally
accepted as about the correct record.
Much livestock was frozen to death
rhruout the state. So general was the
cold that at Memphis, Tenn, where
severe cold weather is seldom known
the mercury went to 10 below, causing
untold suffering.
The civil war was then in progress.
Northern troops We're scattered turnout
the south They had become acclimated
in a way, to the warmer country, ana
when the touch of their old northern
winters came upon them, many suf-
fered for lack of proper clothing.
John Reiber, who died in this city
few years ago, was one who passed
thru the experience OF having both
great toes frozen. Reiber was mem

airy, which was then on scout duty
in central Tennessee. Refber was IN
the saddle almost the entire day, and
the bitter cold resulted in the freez-
ing of both toes, and the amputation
of one. This necessitated his discharge
from the army as unfit for further mil
itary duty.
w. B. Beeson. of this city, a member
Of the same company, was with Reiber
all day, and escaped freezing only by
walking beside his horse most of the
time and getting the necessary exer-
else to keep his blood in circulation.
