REAL WINTER ONCE AGAIN

After a few days of bright, sunshiny weather with the mercury reaching as high as 57 degrees on "Wednesday, a cold wave from the Medicine Hat country reached Rensselaer Thursday and sent the quick silver skedadling down the tube. Thursday night was intensely cold and gave promise of being the coldest night of the winter. While the government thermo meter out at St. Joseph college only registered eleven below yesterday morning—the lowest point reached during the night—the two thermometers in front of The Democrat office registered 11 and 13 below respectively. The intensely cold wind Thursday night and yesterday morning made it seem much colder than it /eally was, apparently. Following is the official temperature as by the government thermometer at St. Joseph college for the twenty-four hours previous to 4 p. m. of the dates given, except yesterday, which gives the high and low temperature for Thursday night only: ; High Low Tuesday ..... 46 24 Wednesday .57 31 Thursday .... .. ~ .... 26 10Friday (7a. m.). .. ./.. .. . —ll
