The Great Storm; 100 Victims.
ST. PAUL, Jan. l6.-The terrible storm
which has swept over the northwest,
blocking the railroads In five states, Is
now over, and the victims OF the fury
are being counted. When the re-
cord Is complete 1t will show
one hundred lives sacrificed to the fury OF
the blizzard. Wednesday morning
Dakota never had lovelier weather.
The wind was from the south, warm
and balmy. Farmers took advantage
OF the beautiful weather to go to
town. About noon cloud swept
over the country the sun WAS obsoured,
sdow WAS falling fast and u gale WAS
sweeping from the northwest with ter
rible fury. The mercury fell rapidly
ard by 5O'clock Ii was 10 degrees below
zero and the next morning 1t registered
80 below.
The snow fell thicker and thicker. On
the prairie, forty feet distant, you could
not see. A mans voice could not be
heard six feet distant. The air was full
OF snow as fine as flour, and the roaring
Of the wind, and the darkness made
the scene the most dismal, and
dreary and forsaken that man ever
looked upon. Every railroad In Dakots,
Minnesota and many 10 lows, Nebraska
and Wisconsin, were blocked. Tele-
graph wires every where were down, .pit-
iful stories and heroic deeds are hourly
developing.

HE WANTS STORM SIGNALS.
Editor LIGuT

Editor LIGHT:
This blizzard clearly demonstrates the
necessity for a system OF storm signal
displays In the city, which can be seen
readily by the people, and which may
give due notice OF such sudden changes
Of temperature as we have felt the pact
thirty.siX hours. The approach OF this
cold wave could have been generally
known with very little trouble for q
period OF from six to ten hours with
certainty, and with reasonable proba-
bility for thirty hours; and, had IL been,
those who were caught at the opera
Saturday evening without their winter
wraps, would have felt much
more comfortable, and ran less risk
from colds and perhaps Sc
we're complaints on returning home.
The present system Of signaling wealth
er changes Is simple and easily under
stood and were provision made for the
display Of the flags at the postoffice
daily, 1t would be great public benefit,
not only as 1t might affect the health
and comfort OF the people 10 the city and
surrounding country, but In business
sense as well. 1t is quite certain that
fruit dealers and gardeners have suffered
several losses which could have measur-
ably been prevented by timely notice;
while persons going into the country
would have been duly warned OF their
danger. The present suffering of the
poor could have been anticipated and
measures taken to alleviate II.
tits not necessary to go into all the
details Of benefit to come from syste-
matio signal displays In order TO under
stand the advantages to the city and ad,
jacent country ofsuch measures. In the
Ia
are the flags displayed at the regular
signal stations but bulletins are sent out
with the early trains along the lines OF
the trunk railroads, In addition to which
signal flags are carried on the express or
baggage cars, as notice to the agricul-
tural Inhabitants between stations.
Will anyone say that due notice Of the
approach Of this storm would not amply
repay the trouble for q whole year OF
posting flags on tracks and sending out
bulletins southwark? ANON.

An Anti-Mud Essay.
SAN ANTONIO, January .


Daily LIGHT.
Passing down Commerce street and
over some OF our principal streets TO. day
l could not help but notice the mud.
Knowing the good intensions Of our
leading business men to boom the town
or rather to let the outside world know
that there is a San Antonio and what
great place it is, thought why don't we
have few good streets or roadways?
10 any city OF our size you will find at
least three or four good clean thorough
fares. l am sure the locotiOn Of our city
is such as to give us plenty natural
drainage, then why this mud? Coming
over Avenue ID from Grand Avenue to
Alamo plaza drove through about two
inches OF soft mud all the way and at
each street intersection a puddle OF mud
from four to six inches in depth. | am
well aware of the fact that a good deal
of black soil is brought on the maoadam-
ICED streets from streets leading into
them, but IL seems to me that our city
engineers and city fathers should know
this, and could this not be remedied by
having good drainage to our streets? 1t
Is well known fact that on deal level
road 1t requires more strength and exer-
ton to a draft horse than road
or alternate d5cenlS ana DE-
scent upon which horse will
draw as heavy load with the same
speed as upon q horizontal road. Then
why not give our streets more fall and
In place of having deep open cutters at
street crossings let US have either pipes
or stone culverts and no mud trenches.
We have as much and more good flint
gravel nearer at hand than any city in
the south, and 1 venture to say that II
we will bresk our gravel into fragments
Of nearly cubical form as practicable,
clean it from dirt and all very small
fragments We will have as good a road
covering for most of our streets as we
want. l don't think IL necessary for us
to take up our old foundation OF bolders,
as they make better foundation than
most of rotten limestone that has been
put down. But, Mr.. Editor, we must
learn to keep our roads clean and in re-
pair and wait till It rains to sweep
Commerce street. Without constant
supervision the best constructed road
will in a short time be unfit for travel
and with 1t the poorest may all times be
kept In fair state.
Hoping that these few suggestions
may bring about the removal of little
mud. ANTI-MUD.

A Story of Devrlent,
From Texas Siftings.


The German actor Devrient and a few
OF his friends were, on one occasion. in
vited to dine with q very rich but dis
tressingly stingy country gentleman.
The table set by the host was very
poor, and the wine Of the cheapest and
sourest In the market. The gentleman
gave as an excuse for the poor wine that
he had lost the key Of his cellar, q mis-
fortune which he greatly deplored.
After the frugal meal was disposed of,
the country gentleman showed his
famished guests over the grounds, and
among other things pointed out to them
a number OF stuffed birds.
This, gentlemen" he said sis a peli-
can, One OF the peculiar habits OF the
pelican Ia that 1t can swallow pieces OF
IRON"
sis that so?" exclaimed Devrient;
"then | knew what became OF the key
OF your cellar. That bird swallowed It,
and l advise you to get new key made
as soon as possible.
