WINTER HAS ARRIVED.
Government Thermometer at Il. II
Bakers Home Registered IL
Above Monday.

Saturday night a heavy rain fell
here, which gave an inkling that cold
weather was on the way Sunday af-
ternoon and evening old King Winter
was ushered in and Monday morning
the pedestrians had a double quick
gait Or their way to their respective
destinations. A slight furry of snow
fell Sunday night, but it was scarcely
noticeable the next morning. Nor
day the government thermometer
registered only IL above at F. II.
Bakers home. On Tuesday % was
the highest poin. and Is the lowest.
A slight fall CT snow arrived last
night, but hardly enough to cover
the ground. 1t was a gentle remind
er for those who still have storm
windows reposing in the woodshed.
The temperature has been shivery
since Sunday, and of course the coal
man smiles, and the ice man is rele
gated to the rear.

EGGS ARE GETTING SCARCE.
The Local Dealers Report Barely
Enough for Local
Demands.

Fayette, Nov. 16.-What effect the
war in Europe has had on the great
American hen is just little more
than our war expert has been able
to figure out, but that or something
else must be responsible for the con-
dition of things in the egg market.
Local dealers have been having hard
work the past few days getting
enough good eggs to supply even the
local demand, to say nothing of ship
ments. In fact one of the grocers
became so hard pressed for eggs for
his customers that he called up d
dealer in another town and found
that the shortage was felt there also.
1t is nothing unusual for eggs to
fall short later in the season for a
time, but is rare that shortage oc.
ours so early in the season. Whether
the hen is not laying, or is hiding her
product away under the barn, or
whether the war news has had a bad
effect on her temper is not known,
but it is known that she will have 20
get busy soon or somebody will have
to invent a substitute.

in about twenty-four hours.

A Narrow Escape,

Yesterday Messrs. John Peterson,
Nels Haugen and AL Anderson went
out hunting south of town. OF
course they were all anxious to gath
er in as much game as possible, and
never gave the European war a
thought, until Mr.. Peterson's left
ear was nipped with a bullet, and
then there was something doing. A
stray bullet intended for a rabbit
was the cause o. Mr.. Peterson sitting
up and taking notice, and when he
discovered he was in a neutral coun-
try, he decided he wasn't hurt after
all, but the bullet nipped his ear 4
trifle just the same. 1t was a mar

WHEN THE DEVIL WAS WELL
 THE DEVIL A SAINT WAS HE.
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, Nov. SO.-The cathedrals of Paris are crowded each Sunday with persons who have been awakened to new devoutuess by the war. Every day there is continuous file of faith full in the churches of every parish in Paris, burning candles to their patron saints. These are mostly women, but the men are in far greater proportion that has been seen in the churches in many years. Among these men are many wounded, who make their way painfully to the alters on crutches in order to perform their devotions.
 In the improvised chapel at the Pas teur Lyceum building, where the American Military Hospital is located, an alter was provided at one end for the Catholics and at the other end for members of the church of England, while a place was made in the center for the Protestant Non-cOnfOrmist services.

It is alleged that a preliminary investigation developed upwards of one hundred complaints by of ficials of the government that Brosius permitted the payment of S2,OOO,OOO worth of vouchers in excess of what the work actually done called for. It is alleged that gross frauds were committed by greatly lessening the amount of asphalt and concrete called for in the specification of the contract.

 The most extraordinary sled team on record is now being trained here. It is nothing less than team of bears which Joe Morris is already busy pre- pairing to take the place of dogs. One of the bears gives every indication of being easily turned into a first class malamute but the other seems to re- quire more coaxing. The bears have been hitched up several times and are learning so rapidly that they can prob ably be used to haul in several loads of wood before Christmas. In Fair banks a moose has been trained to pull a sled but Mir. Morris believes that a moose cant compare with bears in that line at all
