Opposition to Pension Agent Click.
oil "a, fl,o oh


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 1.-The
nomination of ex-Gov. Click of Kansas, to
be pension agent at Topeka. Kan, is meet
ing with active opposition from the Grand
Army of the Republic and other soldier or
ganizatiOns. From organizations in Kansas
the charge is made that Click was violent
copperhead during the war, and published
a speech in which he declared that the
answer Of Gov. Jackson of Missouri to
LincOln's call for troops was as patriotic
and able paper as the declaration of inde-
pendence, or the farewell address of Wash
ington. AS a member of the legislature he
voted against every war measure and Op-
posed every resolution of thanks TO the
soldiers Of the state. He has denounced
the pension legislation on every occasion
and has maligned the memory of Lincoln
and Grant. The room Of the senate COM
mittee on pensions is flooded with protests
against his confirmation, and the soldiers
say they don't want to receive their pen
sions from the hands of man who has
publicly declared that they are not entitled
to them.

cold continued over Sunday, the thermome-

and at midnight Sunday night. Sunday
evening a fire destroyed a double frame
dwelling owned and occupied by George
Lierye and Charles Buettner. The former
is noted German naturalist. HIS resi-

insects and animals west of New York, the
Smithsonian institute included. The col
lection contained so. 900 insecs, purchased
two years ago from DR.. AuguSt Hoffmeister
of Fort Madison, Ia. There were many
specimens from all over the world of the
rarest beauty and great value. The hy-
drants were frozen so that the fire depart
ment was unable to arrest the flames, and a
fierce northwest gale blowing made quick
work. Buettner is in despair over his loss.

THE STORM IN ILLINOIS.
A Passenger Train showed I'm and
MnnY Minor CasuaIIies.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE temperature has
remained below zero and the night started
in clear and cold, with prospect of low
temperature again tonight. The trains are
beginning to arrive a little more promptly,
particularly from the West. but only two of
the roads have been able yet to clear
their Omaha lines. A gentlemen who ar
rived from the southern part Of the state
this morning said that no correct account of
the violence of the storm in Southern Illi-
nois has been given. 1t began about or
10 O'Clock Thursday night and although the
snow had ceased falling yesterday morning
the weather gave no signs of moderating
Trains on all the roads are many hours be-
hind time. The Illinois Central is about
the only line which has kept up the paSsen-
ger service. 1t has managed To do this by
making up extra trains at different points
along the road and sending them out ahead
of the regular ones. The east-bOund train
from St. Louis to Cincinnati on the Ohio
& Mississippi road was caught in a
drift west of Centralia Friday
morning. The drift was two
miles long and several feet deep. The
train was not rescued until Saturday after
noon. The passengers suffered good deal,
but the road managed TO get coffee and
some provisions to them. Two men were
frozen while digging at the drift, and were
brought into Odin Saturday evening. The
fatalities in the agricultural portions OF
Southern Illinois have been numerous. Two
men were frozen near the little town of
Flora while driving cattle from a field. An
unknown man was found dead on the track
not far from 0din. Two cars of hogs, part
of blockaded freight train, were found
frozen stiff Saturday morning. Many trees
in the southern part of the state had budded
i'm the warm weather of the past month.
These will nearly all die. and the loss will
doubtless be large. The farmers say fiocks
of dead prairie chickens and coveys of frozen
quails can be seen on nearly all farms.
