ZERO WEATHER STILL WITH US

Thermometer Registered Sixteen Below O Yesterday Morning. The extreme cold weather continues with us, and with the exception of Wednesday night the mercury has dropped below the zero mark every night for the past week, Thursday night reaching 16 below. Otherwise the weather hast been quite bright and pleasant, but the continued cold has made it slow •work in getting the country roads cleared and the resumption of railroad traffic. The mail carriers have covered only a small part of their routes as yet, and the train service on, the Monon is considerably irregular as yet, but should soon become normal again.
