WEATHER FORECASTS.
Cold Wave is Delayed in Reaching
This Vicinity.

The predictions of the weather
prophets concerning the variety of
weather which wala to prevail this
week have not been fulfilled. Instead
of polar wave. which it was stated
would oven:pread this section, the
torrid zone SENS TO have sent wave
IN this direction. The "experts, -
however, are still on the job, and they
persist in telling US the cold weather
IS on the way.
The prognostieator in Baltimore last
right, among other things, said:
"The curtainlike fog which hung
over the city during yesterday and
asst night will be missing when the
carly riser in the city looks out of
his windows this morning, according
to the weather man. Instead, if the
predictions of the weather man hold
good, he will be greeted by SNOW
covered sidewalks and housetops."
Thirty degrees below zero at Mile:
City, Mont, yesterday morning
formed the climax of the cold,
throughout the West, extending
southwark to the gulf states.
The northeastern part OF the coun-
try has temporary protection by the
development of an area of high pres
sure over the Atlantic near the coast,
but this territory, according to the
weather sharps, gradually will fell
the cold before the week is over,
Southern California is experiencing
the coldest weather in 40 years. The
temperature at San Diego was Is
yesterday, record breaker for that
point.

Judge! ,Waddell in passing sentence
said that the only cases where he be-
|lieved sentences should be suspended
were those of extreme youth when a
|thoughtless indiscretion might per-
Ihaps destroy a life time of USEFUL
Fnes:,or old age when the sense OF
responsibility had been entirely
dulled by time. He said that he had
been particularly touched by the plea
of Mr. Brown, and that it would be
very pleasant to him to carry out the
request of Mr.. Howard's attorneys,
but he was unable to see how this
could be done under the provisions of
the statute. He therefore imposed the
minimum penalty, which is five years
in the penitentiary.
Howard was taken to the city Jail
this afternoon and will be transferred
to the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta
in a few days. His request to be per-
mitted to go to Fredericksburg ac-
companied by the u. S. Marshall, to
I ettle up some of his affairs, was de-
MED.
The court adjourned for the term
this afternoon.
The Conway, Gordon and Garnett
National Bank was one of the oldest
institutions in the State having been
established in 1865. After the dis
covery of Howard's shortage it was
merged with the Farmers and Merch-
ants State Bank of Fredericksburg.
Howard was connected with the insti-
tuition for "a years.
The grand jury Of the United
States court brought in true bill
this morning against William Bailey,
charged with carrying on liquor bus
mess without license.
The trial of Arthur Shanks, charged
with improper conduct toward young
girls, was continued to the next term
Of court which meets in June. 1t isl
the witnesses for the de-
tense will number about so, and that
the trial will probably take three
days.

Thomas A. Edison declares that he
believes that the end of the present
legitimate stage was at hand as re-
suit of his newest invention, talking
motion picture machine, called the
Kinetophone. The inventor predicted
that this latest product of his genius
would afford the smallest of villagers
throughout the world an opportunity
OF seiang and hearing the best $500
shows for one-twentieth of that
amount. There will be no more barn
stormers, either, because no one will
be willing to pay for second-class act
ing when the foremost actors are per-
forming for the "talllies" and can
be seen and heard for a dime.
