north. The snow struck Topeka
about $3.50 O'Clock this morning, but
the indications at that time were that
the fall would be fairly light instead of
heavy as promised. This principally
on account of the drop in temperature
before it started to snow.
The temperature tomorrow is not ex-
pected to go above the 10 degree
mark. The highest temperature ever
recorded on this date in Topeka was
65 in 1911, and the lowest was 10
below in 1904. 1t is possible that the
low record may be broken tonight.
Camp sDoniphan came to life this
morning in a temperature of so de-
grees-nearly warm enough to go
swimming. The sun was shining there
this morning and the day started out
like early spring. It will be just that
much harder tho, when the mercury
in the camp thermometers hits the to-
bogganA late this afternoon.
The official forecast says unsettled
weather this afternoon and tonight;
colder tonight with temperature of 0
or below; Sunday probably fair, fresh
to strong northerly winds diminishing
Sunday.
Shippers should protect Sc hour
shipments north and west against a
temperature of 10 below zero; east
against below; and south against
zero.
