10th has entirely subsidized, the weather hav-
ing greatly moderated throughout the entire

freezing of numerous small streams threat

is preventing it. Railroad trains will not be
seriously delayed BY the storm, nor stock

storms we have had in years, being particu-
larry severe 10 the western part of the State.
Wheat went into winter quarters in very fair
shape, and it will be impossible to form any
opinion of its condition until the spring
thaw. The SNOW completely covers the
ground, which Is beneficial to the plant.

rising temperature, accompanied by snow.
Cattle on the ranges, with the exception of
sickly calves, have stood the storm well, and
the loss among them is not great.

AMother,s Horrible Crime.

MILWAUKEE, January pa terrible
crime was discovered at noon to-day. The
wife OF John Zimbrick, laborer, living on
Fifth street, killed her three children, the
oldest seven years old, the youngest eighteen
month";, in the most brutal manner, literally
cutting them to pieces and completely dis
emboweling them. The neighbors' attention
was attracted to the scene by the woman's
attempt to hang herself in an clubhouse.
They cut her down and took her inside,
when the horrible spectacle was discovered.
Mrs. Zimbrick was at once arrested, and took
her arrest very calmly, stating that she had
read to sacrifice her. children in the Good
Book. The woman is doubtless suffering
from religious insanity.

The reports from the New Jersey senato-
rial contest, If at all reliable, reveal a very
disgraceful condition of affairs. One candi-
date, it is asserted, cannot win because he
lacks the necessary financial backing. There
is no law requiring that United States
senator shall be rich man. Another re-
mark is to the effect that if Senator McPher-
son proposes to win he must abandon the
Sunday school method and spend money. 1t
is scarcely credible that such state of
affairs could exist in an enlightened commu-
nifty at the present day.

The HERO OF the CoMsTOCK.

Years ago, in the early days of tho
ComstOck excitement, Pat Holland.
now postmaster and coroner in a little
town in Cochise county, Arizona, was
the most respected in the State. He
had the reputation of being a dead shot
with the pistol. OF course this accom-
plishment made him feared by eyerv.
body, and there was no man in Arizona
SO bold as to cross him in public. Pat
acquired his reputation by shooting on
the stage, and could knock an apple off
his sons head with an ACCURACY and
carelessness which combined to impress
the public far more than the manner in
which the painstaking William Tell
performed the feat with an arrow.
Finally Pat secured young lady who
would allow an apple to be shot off
her flaxen poll, and when Pat executed
the feat he would throw his keen eve at
the girl and then roll his orbs up in the
gallery and without looking at his mark
send bullet through the fruit. This
was put down on the bills as "Pat Hol-
lands psychological feat of shooting
from memory" and drew crowded
houses. One night he advertised to
shoot apples from twelve young ladies'
heads in succession. and only take one
look at the crowd. Piper's Opera House
was packed with men at 81 head, and
when the curtains rose twelve immacu-
late ballat dancers we're in line along
the wings, each with an apple on her
head. Pat stepped to the footliohts
and bowed, amid tremendous applause.
He had a six-shOoter in each hand, and
the stage manager announced that.he
would shoot the last six apples with his
left hand. Casting his eye along the
line, he took long breath, steady DO
sitiOn and then faced the audience.
Lifting his revolver he began to shoot
in rapid succession, and the apples be-
gan to fly out of sight, amid the breath
less silence of the audience. The curl
GUS part of the performance, however.
lay in the fact that by the time Pat had
fired six shots all the apples had disap-
peared, vet he kept right on banging
away with his left hand, amid rOars of
laughter and derision. To cap the eli
max two apples got tangled together,
and remained dangling from the edge
of scene in plain sight of the audi
ence. The trick was at once apparent.
Each apple had c fine thread attached,
and at the shot was quickly jerked out
of sight. The supes behind the scene
who pulled the string got confused at
Pats rapid firing, and half the apples
disappeared before the time. Two were
snatched off simultaneously, the strings
overlapping in the air brought the APP
Piles together, where they hung to the
edge of the scene, the strings being on
each side. This ended Hollands career
as public soloist on the pistol and the
public looked upon him as an ordinary
mortal. Soon after this he got into a
street row in Phoebe and fired twelve
shots in densely populated portion Of
the city without killing q man. But
for attempting to do too much at once
he might have gone to Congress in that
State years ago.
