enced i'll this section, thermometer
registered 10 below yesterday morning
Few cases of freezing have been reported
here, but reports from Western Kansas
are appalling. The blizzards that ragged
through that section a few weeks ago
left the people in such bad condition
that they were unable to stand the
severe weather of the past twenty-four
hours. A large number of deaths from
cold and Starvation are known to have
occurred. A car load of provisions
started yesterday from Wichita O Clark
county, but the storm stopped the train
1t is stated three thousand people in
Clark county are in a destitute condition.
Unless immediate relief is afforded the
number OF deaths will be fearful. The
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
nartland, kearney county, writes i'm
ploring assistance for that section
saying that if relief does not arrive soon
hundreds must die. Casualties among
stock have been greater Than ever known

sumed per year per indlvinual: Norway

During the same period the average

Norway gain her present honorable pos
ltion among European States. In 1888
the average consumption of alcohol was
$ \ ter per individual, while at present.
80 years later, it is only one-fiflh of that
quantity. and CONTINUALLY decreasing.
The increase in the consumption of cof.
fee is no doubt one of the principal
causes of the decrease in the alcohol
consumed. But then other agencies
have been at work, the principal ones
beng legislative action and moral per-
suss on Though the efforts of abstlence

and strength. The liquor laws of Nor
way have resulted admirably. They
are not based on the principle of pro-
hibition, but aim at a gradual restriction
of the liquor traffic, &c ucating t. e
people, and in turn keeping pace with
the growth Of the public sentiment.
The laws were always enforced to the
letter because they were sustained by
majority Of the people until the majority
demanded and enacted more stringent
laws The liquor question has not been

servatives, the executive and the legis-
lative joining hands to redeem the

upon Fenner's plow which stood on the

carry it he returned to the shack, built
small fire, and managed to reach

could not walk. Chris then hitched up
