OF The Year
TODAY IS 5RiEFEsT DAY ON THE
CALENDAR AND THE HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL WHICH SWEPT DA-
koTAs LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING.

Today is the shortest day of the year
and with it has come the heaviest
snowfall of the winter. This morning
at z o'clock the snowfall was IA inches.
Since that time no measurement has
been taken but 1T was estimated at the
office of the United States weather OBJ
server in Moorhead, that there had not
been more than " inch of snow fallen
since that time.
Dec. 21 is the shortest day on the
annual calendar and was reached to>
day. The sun rose this morning at 7:1b

ested in the predictions on the almanac
observed that the sun arose exactly at
the appointed time SO that all the pro-
phecies were correct.
A snow storm reached North Dakota
and Minnesota last night about 3
o'clock. According to the reports re-
ceived from the United States weather
bureau, this storm swept Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and
North Dakota, though in the western
part Of this state 1t has been learned
that the fall last night was not very
heavy.
This storm came from the southern
states over which it has been sweeping
| for the last forty eight hours. While
| the snow is damp the weather has not
been in the least disagreeable nor
have there been any sharp accompany
ing winds.

THREE DRUNKS
On SNOW GANG
OLD OFFENDERS WE'RE AR
RAIeNED BEFORE JUDGE MIL
LER THIS MORNING ON THE
CHARGE OF BEING DRuNK-ALL
WERE GIVEN EIGHT DAYS.

I'm growing tired Of seeing your
faces every day and it seems to me
that you fellows calculate to make
this police station your winter head
quarters said Judge Miller this
morning when he referred to Fling
Olson. Charles Anderson, and ole
Johnson. who were all charged with
being drunk.
Johnson was released from the
custody of the police Saturday after
serving four day sentence for the
same charge. He was given eight
days for this offense.
Olson. who has been licking them
up" for the past three months and
is an old offender was given the same
dose.
Anderson. when arraigned before
the court this morning still bore on
his contenance part Of the skate he
had on when he was arrested last
night by OFFICER Bowler. He was
given eight days as a gentle reminder
and he will have the honor OF partak-
ing of his Christmas dinner on the
city this year.
Judge Miller's closing statement was
to the effect that the snow came at
just the right time, and these prison
ers came the right time. as they are
good subjects and shoveling snow will
serve as a health restorer.

CASE DRAGGING ALONG
Mccormick Case Against the City
Holds the Attention of
Court.

The personal injury case that has
held the attention of the court for the
past two days still holds forth, and it
is very doubtful if the evidence will all
be heard today.
Mccormick is suing the city to re-
cover personal damages to the extent
of $4,000 as the result of broken
leg he sustained when he fell upon
the sidewalk near Doyle's livery barn
on First avenue south.
The evidence introduced this morn
on both sides was conflicting. The Jury
yesterday afternoon made a trip tc
the scene of the accident to examine
the condition Of the sidewalk at that
point.

RAILROAD EVANGELIST
At MEMS MEETING
SPEAKS ON THE SUBJECT "A SIM
PIE REMEDY FOR SIM"
Large Audience on City Hall Square.

Rev. J. +. Green. the railroad evange-
list, addressed the mems meeting of
the Y NJ. c. \. yesterday afternoon
on the city hail plaza, and it was the
opinion of those who had attended all
the open air meetings so far conducted
that there was larger number of men
present than had come To- any former
meeting. The service was opened by
the association quartet. composed OF
we'll known young men who have taken
an interest in assisting the plans of
! secretary Davis to make the mems
meeting a success.
The announcement that Rev. Green
was to make the afternoon address
brought many people to the service
who might have otherwise remained
away. as he has become well known
during the short time he has been in
the city conducting evangelistic meet
ings at the Central NJ +. church, and
his reputation as a practical speaker
has made many admirers. In the short
talk delivered yesterday he adhered to
his usual practice of speaking along
lines of thought which come within
the comprehension of every man.
whether a student of the theology, or
not. and the close attention given his
remarks proved the interest with which
they were received by his audience.
Preaching on the subject ~ Simple
Remedy for Sin" he developed the idea
that Christianity is not complicated
religion, as many believe, but on the
contrary the most simple of faiths. be
cause it has but one principle under
lying all its doctrine. Belief on Jesus
Christ. The reason 50 many people re-
fuse to become Christians. he explained.
is because they don't understand the
nature Of the service which will be re-
quired of them when they make a pro-
fession of faith.
He went on to explain the service
required of protesting Christians, and
spent some time in presenting the
thought that Christian service is not
slavery. and that the humility of
Christ was not degrading, but ennobl-
ing self abnegatiOn. The simple rem
edy for sin he finally averred is with
in the reach of all, and he described
the value Of finding a remedT for the
evil which increases and grows unless
cured.

Vaughn Trying to Figure Out Ways
and Means of Improving His Team.

When the Colored Cubs We're beaten
by the Fords on Sunday, May q. their
luck must have turned around, and
craWled through knot hole of the park
fence. for their game Yesterday was Of
the Jonah variety. and they seemed
as unable to hit the ball when they
were sent To the bat. as they were

field Calls of butter fingers" and
for goodness sake catch the pill
with some others of even greater force
and expressiveness. were sent out from
the bleachers by the brass throated
fans, who had come to see the Cubs
retrieve themselves. and found them
going deeper instead.
As for the Rattlers, they We've strict
~ in their element yesterday, and they
wore the smile of victory as though
they were entirely unfamiliar with the
sad experience of having a rival team
run them off the field with a high
score. as has happened more than once
since the club was organized. But yes
terday everything was changed. The
Rattlers were born baseball players for
one day. Their pitcher had Il control
that would have made Hans Wagner
sick with sorrow, and their fieldmen
seemed to have extensions To their
arms when they left the ground to
pull the high ones.
Smiley, the pitcher of the Rattlers,
is gaining a reputation as aneXtraOr-
binary man with the ball. He has pitched
four games for the local team, winning
three with complete shut outs, and
striking out twenty men in yester
days game. Manager Quiros. who
knows the game as well as any anna
teur in the valley. stated yesterday
after the last inning. when his face
was wreathed in smiles of gTatifica-
ton. Il believe that with Smiley in
the pitchers box. and with Castle be-
hind the bat, that can beat any other
team in the valley"
A large crowd attended the game
and there was more enthusiasm dis
played than at any other game this
season. At times the crowd seemed
on the point of carrying Smiley off on
their shoulders. so great was the eff
feet produced by his pitching. Calls of
ooh you Smiley, smile" encouraged
him to still greater feats Of ball wiz
ardy, and there were very few curves
and wrinkles that he did not employ
yesterday to dazzle and outwit his col
Ored opponents.
Manager Vaugn attributes his poor
showing to the fact that the changes
made in his team last week left him
with splendid material, but a nine that
had too little experience in working to-
gether He expects to see the practice
games of the next few weeks pull his
men into shape. and intends to leave
nothing undone to raise the standard
of their playing. He said yesterday:
There are some fellows on my nine
who may not be able to stand the
course of sprouts l am planning to put
them through, but they can take their
choice between standing them, or
dropping out, for l have a high opinion
of the playing ability of those Rattlers.
and before we can class up with them
a lot of work will have to be done"
