SIX WEEKS MORE OF COLO WEATHER
Cele.el Welsh Dealee IkM It Wee
He Wfce Rat svae Watee
fa tha Treeltleaal
MoaJtev.
The peepte hare lost; tha eoal man Im
von; tha groundhog eeld "us" out
Weather Forecaster Welsh u seated at
a point ef vantage bfor tha winter quar
ters of tha groundhog whin tha reporter
approached him.
"Bh-h," whispered Mr. Welsh, holding up
a warning finger. "Pa not speak so loud;
you may dinars the groundhog."
The cenversatiea was then carried en In
whisper.
"What effect has the adroit of the
groundhog en the weather of the remainder
ef the winter T" asked the reporter.
Mr. Welsh smiled at the simplicity of the
question.
"Teen him we Vase all calculations. If
he comes out ef render hole and goes back
again, feeing afraid ef his shsdew, then
our fate Is sealed for sis long weeks. But
If he cemes out, sniffs the air and goes
frolicking gaily away about his business,
thsn spring haa come. Thea may the shirt
waist girl get eut her gay array; then
must the coal man retire Into Innocuous
desuetude, and then Is the season of the
Ice man's rejoicing at hand."
"But, Mr. Welsh, la It reasonable to base
any calculations on the vagaries of this
Ignorant animal, whe has proven to be
even the worst weather guesser of allT"
Caklnd Cat Resented.
Not even the reporter's suavity of tone
could cover the slight which unwittingly
had dropped from his lips. The weather
wlcard frowned.
"It Is net passible to explain to the un
scientific, I might say the Ignorant mind,
the Intricacies of my science," he said with
biting sarcasm.
The reporter was nonplussed, to say the
least Me stammered an apolsgy, explain
ing that his remarks did not apply to the
local weather staff. Mr. Welsh graciously
accepted the apology with an air that said
the Interview was at an end.
"Perhaps the groundhog Is dead," eald
the reporter, amiably, by way of re-estab-llshlng
friendly feeling.
"In the light of science your supposition
la untenable, not to say asinine," said
Mr. Welsh, keplng an eye on the ground
hog's residence. Suddenly something black
appeared, followed by two gleaming points.
The weather man and the reporter frose
Into living statues of silence. The great
annual event was at hand. The ground
hog came out, sniffed the air, looked
around for its shadow, dlsoovered it, gave
a snort of fear and disappeared Into the
hole again.
"The coal man trluraplis," said Mr. Welsh
shortly.
After taking the position of the sun and
making other scientific observations, the
weather man gathered up his portfolios
and departed te his observatory, while the
reporter returned gloomily to his office to
let an anxious world know the deoialon of
the groundhog.
Bulletin Ho. 1.
Later-Colonel Welsh emphatically de
nies that the man who sat at the opening
of the groundhog's habitat was he. The
colonel is at home wrestling agalnBt a tight
grip.
Bulletin No. 3.
Still Later Colonel Welsh positively and
disdainfully declares his utter nonbellef In
and contempt for the groundhog tradition,
pronouncing It a delusion and a snare. He
announces that he still sticks to the atmoa
pnare.
Bulletin Ho. 8.
As a matter of fact, while the atmos
phere seemed extremely cold, the thermom
eter only touched as low as S below sere.
Thewind gained a velocity of thirty-two
tnties an hour and that Is what gave the
frigidity Its sting. The weather bureau
predicts fair and warmer for Sunday.
SHERDEMAN BACK ON ROAD
QaJts Loeal Maaaa-emeat of Rock
Island Plow Company for
Old Position.
Manager 3. S. Eherdeman of the Omaha
office of the Reck Island Plow company

WHEAT MAKES BIG GAINS
Over Doable In Receipt for Jannary
svs Compared wltb One
Yenr Ago.
The monthly statement of receipts and
hlpmonts of grain to and from the Omaha
market show aa Increase In wheat, but a
falling off in corn. This Is due to the fact
that last year a very low rate waa In ef
fect on corn until January 10 and the Mil
waukee waa hauling eut an Immense
amount of grain before the rates when out
of effect on that date. Oats also show a
most substantial Increase.
read the railway commission bill through
with the care that I should wlh before
passing any comment on the measure," said
Mr. Robert Cowell, member of the Nebraska
Railway commission. "However, I can say
this much, that the section of the bill
which prohibits members ef any corpora
tion beoomlng members of the commission
applies to my caw. I am a member of a
corporation and should the bill become a
law I am, of course. Ineligible for the office
to which I have been elected. I should say
further that my conception of the office
when accepting the nomination was thet
It waa te be of a Judicial character, some
what similar In Its functions te that of the
Interstate Commerce commission. The
proposed bill, I observe, ascribe to the com
mission a multiplicity of duties of an ex
ecutive nature which entails knowledge of
technical tariff matters that calls for the
very best expert knowledge of railway
tariff Issues that may be embarrassing to
uninformed parties."
ICE CUTTERS TAKE DAY OfF
Strongr Gale on Lake Cnnaes Ler-Off
-IHrmt Is Great nad 1
Prospects Good.
The extreme cold, taken with the high
wind, forced the Ice gatherers te desist
from work Saturday. The second crop
from the lake is now being cut and shows
thickness ef ten Inches. The manager
for the Swift and Company plant says they
will have all the tee they want In ten days.
It would take exceptional weather to stop
them from working that many days more
before the loe is melted. January haa been
an exceptionally good month for the ire
harvesters, and it Is believed the mag
nates will have no excuse for keeping up
the price of Ice en sweltering humanity
next summer.
Anyone holding serin Issued tty the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition commission of
the state of Washington will find It to their
advantage to communicate with C. C. Rose
