When the People Woke Up

With Snow.

General winter weather is making
his final desperate drive in this region,
according to the believe Of most OPP
inclined persons.
Then present attack came as a sur
prise to the majority Of Fairmonters.
When they went to sleep last night q
heavy rain was still falling During
the night this turned to sleet and snow
and this morning the appearance, OF
the town was entirely changed. The
old familiar sights were gone, and
nearly four inches OF snowfall covered
the town, lending new beauty to the
old eyesore spots of the city.
The Traction company with it's usual
preparedness policy" had men at
work all night in order to keep the
tracks free from snow an slect SO that
the early cars this morning could run
on schedule time. Several small slips
occurred yesterday, on some Of the. in

Most Brilliant Of planets.

Venus is the most brilliant Of all the
planets. When east Of the sun she
appears in the west after sunset, but
when near the western elongation
she gives only matinee performances
before sunrise. Through the telescope
she presents much the appearance of
FURNISHED silver without spot or h1em-
iBh. So dazzling is she that astron.
omers have been able to discover lit
tie concerning our neighbor, except
that she is surrounded by an atmos-
phere filled with clouds, making it
doubtful whether any view Of the solid
body OF the planet can ever be OBJ
tanned. Even through that veil she is
sometimes so bright as to cast dis
tinct shadow.
