er is at hand. The minimum tempera-
ture for the night was 10 degrees be
low zero. It occurred just before mid
night. Since that time the mercury
has been steadily rising, and by 10

zero point for the first time since
Wednesday night
The forecast: Generally fair to-
night and Sunday; warmer tonight;
colder Sunday"
According to the weather man the
thermometer will not register below
zero at any time tonight, but Sunday
will be colder than today
There were no records broken to-
day. The therm Ometer registered IL
degrees below zero on this date IN
1892 This adds, however, another day
to the list of January zero days. The
record as to number of zero days in
the month of January was broken IN
January, 1883, when there were 10 OF
them. Already there have been eight
zero days in this month and the
month isn't half over. 1t looks as
though there is no doubt about all
previous records for cold weather IN
January being smashed this year.
