GROUNDING SEES SHADOW
Belief is Six More Weeks Of Cold
Weather is Coming.
WELSH DOES NOT BELIEVE IT
Forecaster 4. Kept busy Throughout
the Day Answering Calls as TO
Whether or Not Narmot
Saw His shadow.

ForecaSter Welsh was driven TO ex-
ASPIRATION Yesterday by the large number
OF people who 'phoned to him TO know
whether or not the grounding saw his
shadow. In all cases the forecaster re-
piled that the only grounding with which
he IS acquainted is known as sausage
and that as far as he knows It has never
been accused Of being a prognosticator.
Mr.. Welsh believes that he is the only
one who is entitled to look for his shadow
and he stamps all signs and prOgnostl-
cations that do not emanste from his
sanctum as being rank drivel. Mr.. Welsh
says that next 10 government weather,
fish weather is best. GrOundhOg weather
comes third and the railroads fourth. He
says the way to tell what kind OF weather
is going to prevail is to look at the fish
In the Missouri river. Take a Spyglass. q"
says ne. and wait until all Of the fish
begin to swim In the same direction. II
they all swim toward Council Bluffs
then SIX weeks Of raids by the sheriff
Will prevail. IL they swim toward
Omaha il : a sign that an early spring
will come. II they are headed toward st
Joseph. 'flShwesther" experts are divided
In opinion. Some say that il means that
Psary really didn't discover the Albert
law and. therefore. warm weather IS
headed for Alaska. Others says that
the same direction means snow. Fish
have groundhogs beaten off the boards
when II comes TO being weather signs"
concluded Mr.. Welsh.
At any rate the grounding saw his
shadow about o'clock yesterday morning
snd there are many who are willing 10
accept the sign that there will be six
more weeks Of cold weather.

MEXICO REEKS With STRIFE
Returning Soldiers Stopping Here
Tell of Conditions.
END OF REVOLT NOT IN SIGHT
Third Squadron Of sixth United
States Cavalry Passes Enroute
frona Border I'm Texas to
Fort Des MOines.

Strife Is far from being near an end in
Mexico. is the unanimous opinion Of Sixth
cavalrymen who passed through Omaha
yesterday en- route from the border to
Fort Des Molnes.
The soldiers expressed the belief that
the Madero government is hOneyeombed
with men who for months. owing to not
having been given important positions
have been ready TO Join in any revolt that
leaders might suggest. Generally they
have doubts about any man. or set Of
men bringing about results that will be
satisfactory to the masses.
Gomez. say the cavalrymen. has been
jealous Of Madero and the revolution that
he has organized in Mexico contains
scores Of men who are seeking 10 become
leaders and are always raIlying about
themselves q bunch Of followers. Usually
they are against the government and at
all times are willing and ready to start
and lead a rebellion.
On Two Special Trains.

consisting Of 80 men. ten officers. equip
ment and horses. pa ssed through Omaha
over the Rock Island. The command oc-
cupied two special trains, one carrying
men and equipment and the other con-
veying the horses and heavy guns.
| The Sixth cavalry left Ell Paso three
days ago and Just before the breaking out
Of the Gomez rebellion in the state of
Chihuahua. Mexico. When the command
departed from the border everything was
quiet in Juarez, the Mexican city, just
across the Rio Grande river nom Fl Paso,
and there the Mad4ro government was as
stable as at any time since the resigna-
ton Of former President Diaz- .-.--
