DROP OF ABOUT 50 DEGREES Severest Storm of Winter Follows Close Upon Record Breaking High Temperatures. From April back to the 22nd day of January is a long leap to make in 3G hours, but that is the species of gym nastics the weather has been up to since Saturday night. From Saturday till this morning the drop in tempera ture was about 50 degrees with the prospect of a still further decline at least to the zero point. The change in weather has been ons of the most unique on record. From balmy spring-like conditions which broke local marks for -the month, to cold as severe as has been experienc ed during the winter, accompanied by the heaviest ftiow of the year, all with in 3G hours, is remarkable, even in this changeable clime. Saturday ev ening it was so warm that it was un comfortable to wear wraps, and peo ple actually sat on their porches. It would not have been much of a sur prise to have heard a mosquito buzzing about. No one would suggest mos quitoes or even piazzas or absence of wraps today. Snow 't TronblrHomr, There was a heavy fall of snow dur ing the night and forenoon and it drift ed badly. The street railway com pany's tracks were kept open and cars were on schedule time. The steam roads, too, made a good showing. The greatest trouble was with the wires, yesterday's sleet and rain freez ing on them and causing damage. Service in the city wag not so seri ously crippled as that out of town. Most of the railway and the Postal and Western Union telegraph wires were out of commission during the day, and it was exceedingly difficult to get and keep connections. The ferry, which had a busy day of it yesterday, retired to the boat yard last night and did not reappear today TO INTEREST LOCAL CAPITAL IN GREAT TUNNEL SCHEME Promoter of Hoosac Mountain Tunne Project Comes to Rock Island.

The un dertaking is a gigantic one, but Mr. Harmon says that the enterprise has advanced sufficiently to demonstrate not only its practicability, but its sue cess as a financial venture. DAVENPORT GETS BENEFIT Freight Reduction in Illinois to Apply Across the River. Davenport is also to be benefited by the reduction in freight tariffs that re cently went into effect in Illinois. For a couple of weeks Rock Island and Moline had the advantage and that led to the business men across the river to bestir themselves. A new tariff is now being arranged by the Rock Island road giving Davenport the same" reduc tion, 20 per cent, on first, second, third fourth and fifth classes, as is in force on this side of the river. Other roads will have to meet this reduction. OBITUARY RECORD. Willfam Thompson.

WAS WALKING BEHIND HER Makes Escapo Through Alley Secures Money and Papers No Clew as to Identity of Offender. Miss Perpetua A. Major, one of the teachers at the Lincoln school, was the victim of a highway robbery on Ninth avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, Saturday even ing at about 8 o'clock. She was re- I lieved of a handbag containing over $3 ! in money, and a number of papers val uable to her, but of no value to any one else. Walklns Behind Her. Miss Major, who resides at 619 Twenty-third street, was walking west ward on Ninth avenue.

When she stopped to secure the lost rubber he quickened his pace. His identity remains un- j known. The mayor has no clew. ICE MAN MORE HOPEFUL AS MERCURY GOES DOWN While Statistics Are Against Him Fact Remains February is Often Gold Month. The ice man is once more hopeful. With a continuation of this visitation of frigidity for a few days he can be gin his harvest with a fair prospect that there will be a month or more of favorable weather in which to complete it. While it is a fact that the average lowest temperature during the past 25 years in this vicinity has been on the 9th and 10th of January, with an aver age of 1G degrees, during late years much of the coldest weather has come in February. Last year it was in groundhog month that the mercury went down to 25 below. It is natural to look for compensation somewhere along the line and with the early half of the winter open it is natural to look for chilly blasts in the latter part. PERSONAL POINTS, Mrs. O. E.
