Senator A. Halleck went to Indianapolis on the early train today to take up his duties in connection with the state legislature. A number of the papers have had a great deal to say about what legislation he proposes to father, and before he has had a chance to speak for himself some of the newspapers that are prejudiced against him and that persistently and maliciously misrepresent him have raked him over the coals without mercy. As we Jiave always said, we have the utmost confidence both in the ability and the honesty of Abe Halleck, and if those people who have taken a dislike to him because of the ill and false things that others have said of him will temporarily lay aside their prejudice we believe they will find that Jasper county has in the upper house of the state legislature a representative of whom it may well feel proud.

The government weather bureau which is located at the college reports that the temperature went down to 5 below zero some time last night Today has been cold and a raw wind has been blowing all day, making it very disagreeable. The forecast for tonight and tomorrow is a cold wave, with continued fair weather. In the central part of the state there was considerable snow last night Here it evidently got too cold to snow, for there were but slight traces of it this morning. At 4 o’clock today the temperature was 2 below zero.
