The kindly clouds interposed between the

the killing frost predicted by General
Welsh Of the weather bureau was averted.
The temperature was all right. at 80. to do
an indefinite amount Of damage to fruit
and early gardens, but the clouds and the
gentle winds during the night prevented
damage in this locality.
No damage is known to have resulted
from the cold snap in this vicinity, though
freezing and below freezing temperatures
are reported up the Missouri valley. SINH
lar conditions we're reported out in the
state and from Nebraska points.
A wintry touch was given to this sec
ton Saturday morning by a brisk snowfall
beginning about 6;45 n continuing until
after s o'clock. The precipitation was light.
but 1t was snow, all right, and had the
effect Of whitening the roofs Of Omaha.
The snow fell, with fitful intervals, during
most of the forenoon, but by noon IL had.
all disappeared.
While # is fair to presume that little or
no damage resulted from the wintry
weather in this section last night. the
promise is not so alluring for Saturday
night and Sunday. says the weather man.
There is a strong probability Of the skies
clearing off, which, with the prevailing
conditions west. portend freezing tempera-
lures In Iowa and eastern Nebraska Sat
urday night.
1t is clear out in the state and generally
clear off toward the mountains. The crux
of the cold snap will probably be reached
by Sunday evening. Warmer temperatures
are reported on the Pacific coast and these
will work eastward, with the tendency to
break the back of the frigid spell Sunday
night or Monday.

any real choice in the matter, has
made the situation almost laugh
able. But it is serious rather than
humorous, and among the chief pro-
testants is Vice President Conklin
of the North Side Improvement
club, who is backed by the mem
bers of that organization in his
objections.
The objections raised are that
the Second and Washington site is
inaccessible and that it is a loca-
ton where a building would not
add to the general attractiveness of
the city. 1t is too far from the
Washington Water Power lines,
and many persons think this is
too far for women and invalids to
walk, as many who register for
elections will not want to go that
far.
The sites most favored are the
at Second and Howard,
and the Clough and Merriam sites.
A few favor the Auditorium site,
but believe that it is not large
and imposing enough to be the
city's main place for transacting
business for the next few decades.
