llnaket of Mushrooms in
the Open.
Balmy weather yesterday accompanied
the advent of th upstart year, but a
change camo last night. After 8 o'clock
the mercury took, a sudden drop and a
strong- wind sprang up. Tho streets were
filled with dust and these disagreeable
features continued all night.
While Nebraska lays no claims to being
In tho banana belt of the world, It has
brands of winter weather that are hard
to beat. Instead of the weather of the
winter beeomiiiK moro severe as the
years" pass, even the old settlers admit
that It Is growing better. They acknowl
edge that tho variety on tup yesterday
was never surpassed on January 1,
though Uncle Joe Redman declares that
January 1, ISM, was about on a par with
that of yesterday.
Yesterday while regaling a party of
frlendB with tales of other days. Uncle
Joe pointed to January 1, 1858, as a day
when there was home weather. That day,
according to his statement, he had greens
Tor dinner and not only this, but he
picked them hlniBelf on the bottoms, east
of where the Saratoga school house now
stand?.
Still, there were a number of persons In
Omaha, who yesterday went Uncle Joe
several better, doing things more re
markable than picking greens New Year's
day. One of these men was John Qulnlan,
residing north of Klorcnce, near Three
springs. Qulnlan donned a bathing suit
and went out and took a plunge In tho
springs, remaining In the water more
than five minutes. Returning to the
house he rubbed down, dressed and re
marked! "That was a bully bath and I did not
Buffer in the least from the cold.''

G. It. Walton, a farmer living- two miles
north of Brlggs station, celebrated the
day by plowing. Early- In the morning
he hitched onto tho stirring plow and
went out Into the stubble field, working
until noon and turning 'over almost an
acre of ground.
""Accordthg to Walton, the ground on his
farm was not frozen and It was' just as
enfcy to plow during a January day as
.during one In October. He says he has
lived In Iowa, Mlsbourr'and Illinois and
thut this was the first time that he ever
found the ground In condition to be
worked during' January.
H. D. Oliver, living out on the Papplo,
west of Omaha, waa another man who
did a New Year's stunt. Oliver grows
mushrooms for the market, raisin? them
In a warm basement during the winter.
Last fall he had more spawn than he
leeded and scattered some out on the
louth Bide of his bams. Yesterday while
arlng for his stock he noticed some
mushrooms growing In the open. In-
estimating farther, he found plenty of
mushrooms and plaked close to two
quarts. When marketing- them In town
last night, he said that while he had
