WORST HAS PASSED.
May Expect Better Weather says the
Observer.

While the forecast is for unsettled
weather with snow flurries tonight or
Tuesday, sunny" Flora is not look
ing for the disa greeable brand OF
weather of the latter part of the week
just gone by. There will be no more
zero weather.
THE barometer is rising and the
wind is now in the north both OF
which are indications that the wealth
er will not be overly disagreeable."
said the weather man. The snow
flurries probably will not amount TO
a great deal. 1t will likely be a little
cooler tonight, but the forecaster in
Washington predicts that moderate
temperatures will prevail over the
country this week"
Here is the guess of the weather
man at Washington:
There will be a general. though
gradual reaction to normal tempera-
lures over the region east Of the
Rocky mountains Tuesday and Wed
nesday and moderate temperatures
thereafter until the close of the week.
A disturbance that now covers the
west and southwest will advance
slowly eastward and cause a continua-
ton of unsettled weather with rains
in southern and rain in the middle and
northern states east of the Rocky
mountains during the next several
days. The next disturbance to cross
the country will appear in the far west
Thursday or Friday and prevail over
the middle west at the end of the
week.
Moderate weather and wind con-
ditions will prevail over the trans
Atlantic steamship routes the coming
week"
Street cars are now running on all
lines, and the street railway company
is trusting that their troubles are over
for the time being at least. The min
imum temperature today was 23 de-
grees.
The shippers forecast calls for tenn
perature not below 10 north and west
of Topeka and 16 degrees south and

There has never been a temperature
of zero or below, after this date. in
Kansas. In 1891 the temperature fell

Still More of Them Out of the
Mills Than In.
BIG PICKET LINE PARADE
More Than 5000 Persons Join
in the Demonstration.
Outlook Is That Mills Will Be
Forced to Close.

Lawrence, Mass. March 4.-The
striking textile workers maintained
most of their strength when the mills
opened today despite the overtures OF
the manufacturers in the form of
five per cent increase in wages. There
still are more operatives out of work
than there are in the mills.

thousand persons paraded Essex street
and the approaches to the mill gate

offers it is thought by city officials
and others that the mills will have to
shut down.
