WINTER IS COMING
Kansas City Hears an Awful
Bunch of Weather News.
Zero Weather, Snow and Wind
Headed This Way.

Kansas City, Jan. 4.-Winter is COM
ing-a real winter with snow fiurries
and a shrinking thermometer BY to-
morrow morning the mercury should
have retreated to not more than or
10 degrees above zero, though the day
should be bright and clear, according
to Government Observer Connor.
Its the end of what has been one
of the mildest and fairest introductions
to winter Kansas City and the south
west has ever had Mr.. Connor said
this morning.
Th etrouble now is brewing in the north
west where a sizable cold wave is in the
making. High barometric pressure with
temperature ranging from zero to u
below, is moving this way TO fill up an
area of low pressure, centering this morn
ing in Oklahoma, while up in the north
east there are storms of rain and snow
and a generally unhappy and inclement
condition in the middle and North Allan
tic states and in the Lake region.
The temperature for this region, Mr..
Connor predicts, will range between 8
and 10 degrees above zero for the next
thirtV-SiX hours.

were forced downward decisively. No
considerable amount of outside buy
ing was promoted by the advance and
in the absence of support from this
source the market weakened promptly
on profit taking.
The end of the year was passed
without the acute financial stress
which had been thought probable and
relaxation of cell loans this week was
a factor in bringing about the increas-
ed activity on the stock exchange. The
market also was Influenced by the
varying reports of the progress of
peace negotiations in London.

AtchiSOn and Other River
Towns Covered With Dust.
Street Cars Tied Up by Sand
Piles ON Tracks.

Atchison, Jan. 4-The worst dust
storm in years is sweeIing Atchison
and other river towns today. Driven

yellow sand from the Missouri river
bottoms is sitting into every house and
store in the city. In the southern part
of the town near the river. the de-
posits of dust and sand were SO heavy
this morning that they had to be re-
moved from porches and walks with
shovels.

miniature dunes across the tracks at
many corners. The company has a
force of men shoveling sand out of
the switches this morning before the
cars were able to run. The unusually
low stage of the Missouri has left large
areas of sand bars exposed and last

Special Nugget Service.

Albany, Oct. S,--Both the prosecu- tion and the defense in the Sulzer trial rested this afternoon and ad. journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning when the counsel will begin summing up, two days being given to each side for that purpose. The vote will then be taken Wednesday or Thursday and then the fate of tn governor will be decided.
 Neither the governor nor his wife testified and this fact Is already be- ing seized by the opposition as proof of his guilt, for they declare, if he had been innocent there would have been no reason whatever for his fail- ure to appear. Indeed they say that Sulzer would be the very man to grasp such a chance to make a grand stand play.
 A sensation came in the trial yester- day when Allen Ryan testified that Sulzer had asked him to get Murphy to stop the impeachment. Ryan is very prominent and his testimony is considered un-impeachable so that no evidence of more damaging kind has been produced.
 The evidence produced has hardly shown any further proof of Sulzers

 There is ample timber for fuel and other prospecting purposes. There are some trees up to twelve and eighteen inches in diameter.
 The Northern Commercial Company has a barge loaded with provisions for about s"venty-fvr men for the winter. This will he left at Marshall City.
 Ground is being staked so as to con form to the new mining laws and 1t is generally accepted that unless d man does one hundred dollars worth of To- cation work within ninety days his claim will be open for relocation.

The Nugget Is fortunate in beinr able to print another opinion of tn, so- caled Andraefski strike given by one who has just returned from the scene Walter w. Johnson of the Union Con stIuction Company has this to say ol the conditions and outlook:
 The misnamed Andraefski strike is
 in reality sixty-five miles above, at d place called Marshall City. The dis covery was made sevn miles up Will son creek which enters the Yukon at this point at the mouth of a short stream called Disappointment creek This creek is one and one half miles long and has only six claims on it. Wilson creek is twelve miles in length Discovery was made where the high rim of Wilson was exposed and ther" was from three to six feet of gravel on this rim which has come out of Dis appointment creek.
 The gold is in gravel and Mir. John son took thirteen pans in rocker from bedrock to surface on it's face which weighed eight and onehalt cents. Eleven pans were taken from different points and these when rocked weighed thirty-five cents One pan was picked in the gravel, this weighed thirty-fve cents.
 At a point two hundred and fifty feet up Disappointment creek they have a shaft nine feet deep which is IS it can go on account of water. It is claimed that the last six feet of gravel in this shaft paned from two to ten cents per pan. Mir. Johnson took three pans near the top which weighed was ten cent nugget. Bedrock in this shaft would probably he about fifteen feet.
 on the next claim above, about one thousand feet up the creek, q shaft is down on right limit twenty one feet The best pans are claimed to be two cents. Three pans taken around the top of this dump weighed less than one cent altogether This shaft is about oh" hundred and fifty feet from the center of the creek bed and might h. off the pay streak.

 It would be impossible to predict the result of the trial although it seems to be foregone conclusion that the gov ernor cannot escape a verdict of guilty although it is admitted that politics will influence the result perhaps more than the evidence.
