Farmers Out in the Blizzard are
Frozen to Death.
THE WORST STORM In YEARS
Come to Sunny Idaho Where Cyclones
Cease From Troubling and Billiards.
Are at Rest.

with terrific force for nearly thirty
hours the blizzard passed to the
northeast. leaving in its wake in
tense cold, the mercury early this
morning being 10 degrees below.
AS the full details of the storm are
received it grows in magnitude and
intensity, and fears are expressed
that there may be great loss of life.
This, however, will not be so great
as would have occurred had the
storm commenced during the day
time, when more people were out.
Still many were out and their
friends are anxiously awaiting news
from them. The temperature being
mild at the beginning Of the storm,
many cases are reported where
people started for homes in the
country when the storm was still
raging. If they were lost, which is
more than probable, the following
intense cold would would prove
fatal. On account of the condition
of the wires and the drift-covered
country roads, the full details of
the loss Of life will be slow in
coming in, but that there have been
serious results of the storm is un-
doubtedly true.
So far as the railroads were con-
cerned the gale and the blizzard
got in their deadly work last night.
Tho St. Paul and Duluth had hard
tussles with heavy drifts. The
Maple Leaf encountered rough
weather in all directions with
wind to delay trains and snow at
all points except on the Kansas
City division. The Northwestern
bore the brunt of the tempest in the
southwest and the Sioux City train
was four hours late. The Chicago
train was one hour late at. Elroy.
The wire on all divisions continue
to act badly. The Northern Pacific
has had its hands full in Minnesota
all night and this morning. The
snow drifted badly and the wires
are still down. Snow.ploughs are
out in every division where several
trains have been annulled, and
Others are coming in slowly as the
second sections of snow-ploughs.
The Great Northern was in much
the same shape, the drifts being
heavy and the wind high, with the
thermometer recording from above
to 10 below zero.
The wind has gone down consid-
erably today and no further trouble
is anticipated. One of the most
serious results of the blizzard was
a wreck on the Northern Pacific at
Lake Park this morning. A snow
plough, carrying two engines and
running as the first section of the
regular train, had head-end col
lision at that point at 43O a. m.
with the first section of the passen-
ger train. George S. Carr, engineer
of the passenger train, was thrown
terrific force against the air-brake
valve in his cab and one leg was
frightfully torn and both badly
scalded, while his head suffered
severe Commissions. Several other
trainmen were badly shaken up,
but Cars injuries are more than
serious.
AT WASHINGTON D. C.
Washington, March 14.-Shortly
after nooa today the capital was
visited by rain and snow and a

been equally severe nad tneTe peeh
a sufficient quantity of snow on
the ground. Throughout the en-
tire north parth of the state great
damage was done. In number
of the larger cities large plate-glass
fronts were blown in, buildings un-
rooted, chimneys scattered, and
houses overturned, while in the
rural settlements wind-mills were
scattered over the prairies and a
number Of barns lifted from their
foundations. The roof on the state
reform school building at Eldora
was blown off. The Cerro Gordo
county court house was unroofed.
Harrimar's plate-glass front at
Hampton and w. E. Ensign's at
Mason City were blown to peices,
and scarcely town or city es-
capped.
IN ILLINOIS.
Chrisman, ILL.,, March 1O.-The
cold wave reached this place last
night accompanied by snow and
strong winds. The temperature is
at zero now and it is getting colder.
Ramsey, ILL.,, March 1O.-The
blizzard which struck here last
night continued, with the tempera-
ture at II below, today, and indi-
cations are that it will be 16 below
before morning.
Vandalia, ILL.,, March 1O.-A
terrific northwest gale, with occa-
sional furries of snow, has pre-
vailed here for the last twenty-four
hours. The thermometer this
morning registered 10 above zero,
drop of IS degrees in fifteen hours.
Is is feared winter wheat will be
injured.
Mascoutah, ILL.,, March 1O.-A
cold wave struck this section last
night and it is still here. The
thermometer fell 80 degrees in
few hours time. A violent snow
storm prevailed for a short time
this morning. The growing wheat
crop has not been injured.

wind struck her with great force
and she was hurled to the stone
tagging. Fortunately that part OF
her head where the hair is thickest
struck the stone and thus prevented
serious injury. Her head was,
however. cut, and the blood flowed
from the wound as she was assisted
to the ladies' room of the senate
chamber. Senator Palmer was on
the floor of the senate at the time,
and was soon at the side of his
wife. The wound was not at all
serious and after recovering from
the shock Mrs. Palmer was driven
home. At the same instant that
Mrs. Palmer was thrown down two
young ladies were also knocked off
their feet by the wind, and one of
them was rendered insensible by
striking her head on the marble
coping near the stairs. She was
picked up and taken to one of the
committee rooms and soon after
ward recovered consciousness.
"A MAN KILLED AT DULUTH.
Duluth, Mimi, March 14.-The
storm in Duluth yesterday was the
worst known in Minnesota for years.
Duluth was the storm centre Of the
northwest. The wind blew sixty
miles an hour. The thermometer
was 6 degrees below zero and nearly
Is inches of snow fell. Business
was entirely Frustrated; the street.
car lines were abandoned and the
suburban trains did not run after
3 o'clock in the afternoon. The
damage done was great at West
Duluth. The smokestack of the
Merrill & Ring saw-mill was blown
down, and F. Cullon, an employee,
instantly killed and two other men
injured. A number of school child
rem are missing, but it is thought
they have been cared for by fami-
lies near the school.
IN NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., March 14.-For
forty-eight hours the greatest biz
zard and windstorm in the history
of the west has ragged. Damage in
in the cities and towns is enormous.
In the country districts it cannot
be estimated, as not until tonight
vehicles venture out in the wind
without being overturned. In
Omaha all day pedestrians kept
lodging signs and fragments of
roofs which had been loosened by
the wind and were blown about the
streets. A high chimney at the
new St. Joseph's hospital was
blown down and crashed through
The slate roof, doing considerable
damage. Several of the ornaments
On the turret of the Trinity cathe-
1ral were torn loose and thrown to

TOBACCO CULTURE.

Mr.. j. Marsden, while travelling in
Asia, passed through the tobacco
growing districts of Java and of
Southern India. In conversation
with the tobacco-growcrs of those
countries Mr.. Marsden became aware
of the fact that the saltpetre in our
soil, which heretofore has been con
sidered an eifectual bar against the
successful cultivation of good
smoking tobacco on these islands,
can be turned to good advantage in
the growing and curing of tobacco
for wrappers for cigars. The island
of Sumatra cannot grow a smoking
tobacco on account of the excess of
saltpetre, but produces fine article
of cigar wrapper.
1t is proposed to test the capacity
of these islands in the production of
cigar wrappers, and to this end Mr..
Marsden was appointed by the Trus-
tees of the Planters Labor ~ Sup
ply Company to procure quantity
of the best Sumatra tobacco seed.
This seed has arrived and is now on
hand, and will be distributed to per-
sons wishing to experiment, upon
the following understanding: that
the recipient of the seed will plant
and cultivate the same, and cure the
tobacco when grown, and send at
least one-third of the cured tobacco,
with full particulars of the condi-
tions of soil, etc, under which it was
grown, to the Secretary of the
Planters Labor & Supply Company
who will upon receipt of sufficient
quantity forward the same to some
large tobacco market, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the market
value of the tobacco, full particulars
of the results to be published in the
Honolulu newspapers. A copy of the
prize essay on tobacco cultivation
that lately appeared in this paper
will be furnished with each lot of
seed. Applications for seed should
be made in writing to Mr.. j. Mars
den at the office of the Planters
Labor & Supply Company. We are
promised some notes on tobacco cul-
tivation from a gentleman of Homo
lulu whose boyhood and youth were
passed on large tobacco planta-
ton.

WATER FRACAS.
False Charge of Shooting Preferred
by Chinese.

Several Cinnamon rushed into the
Police Station shortly after last
midnight and reported that a native
had fired a pistol at them at Palolo,
hurting one badly. One of the
Cinnamon had wounds on his head
and arms, and blood was flowing
from his forehead. Nothing could
be done until daylight, when two
police officers were despatched to
the scene, and at the instigation of
the Chinaman three natives, Pipi-
lani, Hololio, and Keaka Naiwi, were
brought to the Police Station at
1870 o'clock to-day. Investigation
has elected the following informa-
ton: There is large reservoir of
water at Palolo from which flow
three manos or branches. One half
belongs to All Lo, Chinaman, and
the three natives, as partners, the
other half being divided between
Cinnamon in quarters. This water
went to irrigate rice patches. 1t
seems that the Chinaman had been
stealing march on the natives sew
eral nights, diverting the water from
their patches into his own.
Last night about 10 o'clock the
Chinaman was caught at his trick
and commanded to leave the place,
and the diversion was changed.
Akana Kalauki, lad about fourteen
years of age, went there later and
found the water diverted again and
saw the Chinaman there. Thrice
the water was turned off, the China
man still persisting, The half-caste
lad used some angry words, when
the Chinaman lunged pitchfork at
him, but luckily missed, The boy
picked up a stone and hit the China
man on the arm. The latter then
drew a two-foot blade and slashed
at the boy, missing him again. The
boy picked up a heavy stone and
threw it, hitting the Chinaman on
the head, making deep cash. The
Others had arrived and rendered the
boy assistance, when the Chinaman
with his friends came to the Police
Station and reported that the natives
had fred pistol shots at him. Akana
Kalauki, the lad who did the dam
age, has not been arrested as yet.

Building Associations.

The man who is always going to
save money, but never saves any, is
well known to every one. Generally
there has been no good reason why
he should not have saved money
except that he has merely been
going to save it,"
Perhaps he has started a savings
bank book, but has had some need
of money, and has drawn out his ac-
count.
If this going to save" person had
invested even very small monthly
share of his earnings in one of those
excellent institutions, Loan and
Building Associations, or Co-opera-
tive Banks as they are called in some
States, he would have been compell-
ed to make his regular investment,
or undergo small fine each month,
and would have had in addition the
strong motive of possessing an actual
share in a profitable business.
These associations offer great adj
vantages either to those who wish to
own home or to invest their money.
They are so safe that it is said that
only one has failed in the more than
sixty years that they have been in
operation in the United States.
They enable the man who wishes
to build to borrow money, when,
perhaps, but for such an association
he could not borrow at all, and to an
amount nearer to the value of his
property than he can get in any
other way.
If he is an investor, he has an as
surance that his money is earning
larger profits than it would earn in
an ordinary savings bank, owing to
economy and the principle of CO.
operation in the management of the
association.
More than one-sixth of the real
estate in the city of Philadelphia is
owned by members of these cooper
ative banks. This fact is a good
demonstration of the value to the
people of the principle of co-opera-
ton in saving money and buyining
