The nllzznrd in NehrnsI,n.

OMAHA, Feb. 12.-Since o'clock yester-
day morning storm has ragged generally
in the upper Missouri country, covering
the entire territory between the river and
the mountains. The wind is from the
northwest, blowing at almost gale, ac-
companied by fine snow, which is drifted
budly and packed hard. In this city cars
have ceased running, and the movement
of railroad trains is greatly hampered. All
outgoing trains have been abandoned.
Reports received from points in the west
say the snowfall is increasing and is drift
ing badly, so that general blockade is
imminent The mercury is below zero
and undoubtedly will go lower. This will
entail great suffering and probably eXten
sive loss among cattle ranges. The wet
snow of Friday covered all forage out OF
sight, and this latter fall will make it i'm
possible for the cattle to obtain any food

KANSAS CITY, No, Feb. l2-The great
New York blizzard is being equaled in the
west. 1t began showing i'm this city about
noon yesterday, and has continued ever
since, the snow coming down so thick it
looks like a fog All street car lines in the
city were compelled to suspend operations
yesterday afternoon, the plows being uu-
able TO keepthe tracks clear Iii almost an
impossibility for pedestrians to get about.
Dispatches from Kansas indicate that the
storm is general At Emporia the snow

while similar reports came from other
| points.
Signal Officer Conner states that the
| blizzard is the worst experienced in this
vicinity since the establishment of the sig
nal office i'm this city. Incoming trains
from the west on all roads are reported
| from four to twelve hours late, and some
of them have been lost" altogether
Dispatches from Oklahoma and the In

very great

greatly from exposure, The wind is blow
