GENUINE BLIZZARD
A Terrible Storm Raging Through
the Central Portion of the
United States.
lt Reaches From Kansas to Ohio
and Is Extending Rapidly
Eastward.
Street and Steam Railway Traffic Is
Badly DemOralized-The Gale
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-A blizzard of tn,
most approved pattern, with snow
sleet and an energetic wind, swept
down on Chicago Sunday night and hai
ragged with constantly increasing VIC
1ence. Great snowdrifts blocked the
streets, suburban trains were delayed
and snow sweepers were kept inces-
sanity in use to prevent stoppage of the
street car lines, traffic on which was
badly delayed. The blizzard is the most
severe that has visited Chicago for
many years.
At noon the wind was blowing at the
rate of 70 miles an hour, with indica-
tions that the storm would continue
through the night, with the coolest
weather Of the year. All incoming
trains were from an hour to two hours
late, and the roads were becoming
worse blocked all the time.
Pedestrians Injured.
The wind rushed around the down
town corners with terrific force, carry
ing pedestrians off their feet and injur-
ing many. Jane Brahany was hurled
against fireplug at Dearborn and Van
Buren streets and fatally injured. Many
carriages on Michigan avenue, where
the wind sweeps straight off the lake,
were overturned. Lake Michigan was
lashed into a fury, and the waves rushed
over the breakwater and swept clear
across the Illinois Central railroad track
into Lake Front park.
So severe was the storm that at the
public schools only about one-third of
the pupils were present. At many of
the schools teachers were absent US we'll
as scholars. At the Hammond school,
but Us pupils were present out of 900,
and reports from other schools showed
similar condition.
One of the large observation windows
in the Leland hotel was blown in and
several guests narrowly escaped injury
by the falling glass. All of the mail
trains coming into Chicago were Sc
riously delayed. Several of the city de-
iveries were abandoned and the mail
service generally demoralized. Tele.
phones and telegraph wires suffered Sc
verely. Many wires were torn from
their fastenings, poles were blown down
and many crossed currents injured the
service.
Another Fatality.
Charles Chash, driver of a bakery
wagon, was probably fatally injured,
the wind overturning his wagon on
Eighty-second street. His leg was
broken and he received internal injuries.
Three men at the waterworks crib,
four miles out in the lake, were brought
face to face with death. The landing
platform was smashed by the waves,
which washed over the cribs structure,
drenching the imprisoned men. The
telephone line to the station was unin-
jured, and the men said that the build
ing was being shaken frightfully in the
wind and waves. No boat could live in
the storm, and no effort to rescue the
men could be made.

Keen up ths Good Work.

1t will be seen by the above proceed
ings that Barton county's citizens are
alive to the Importance of irrigation
and all that it implies Let us keep
on moving in that line; it will prove Of
vast Importance to this country Let
us discuss all sides of the question
freely and for the good of all. 1t is a
subject prolific of possibilities: it is also
liable to misconstruction and misappIi-
cation.
Irrigation" not only means the run
ming of water in bitches onto farms or
orchards, but it means any thing that
will improve agriculture by increasing
production and eliminating the ele-
ments of uncertainty that are met with
in any agricultural country; it may be
taken to mean the daming of streams
and draws: creating lakes and ponds.
the waters of which, through natural
evaporation, will create moisture in
the air and temper the scorching sum-
mer winds.
Because we of Barton county are in
favor of doing all these things for the
purpose of benefiting not only ourselves
but the public generally does not nee
essarily prove that we can do nothing
WITHOUT irrigation, as it has been
suggested would be the Interpretation
of our enthusiasm on the subject
Because farmer is enthusiastic over
some particular breed of COWS it does
not follow that his wife has not made
good butter from some other breed. II
proves the farmer was after lettering
his condition. That is what our people
are after when working for that most
comprehensive improvement = irriga-
ton.
| We are indeed glad to note that
many of Bartvi; c>nnty's farmers are
preparing to test the value of artificial
wetting of the ground. ard many ponds
will be built and many wind mills put
to work filling them, during the com
| ing summer.
The DEMOCRAT earnestly invites
articles on the various subjects thai
are covered by the word "irrigation;'
and we hope our far ners will give the
public the benefit of their observations
and opinions.
