abated. A fierce gale swept from the
northwest, accompanied by a wet. blind :
Ibg snow which is piling up in drifts

and blocking street-car traffic. 1t is the
worst of the winter and is steadily in ;
crsasing in violence. Advlces to the AS
sociated Press show the storm Is very
widespread.
At Topeka, Kansas, 1t is raging with
great violence, with snow foot deep

sleet and snow on the ground. Tele-
graphic and telephone communicatlons

On The Lookout.

The following from the Condor Globe
shows the citizens of that county are keep
ing sharp lookout after all persons who
may interfere with their hocks: Zone day
the first of the week while Bill and Jim
Brown were riding in Ferry canyon, they
found where a COW had been shot and
butchered a few days before in thick
clump of bushes in an out of the way
gulch Upon closer investigation of the
head and feet, they discovered that it was
one of their own cows that had thus fallen
a victim. Emmett Armstrong and his
cousin, Frank, had been at work close by,
cutting juniper posts, and thinking the
boys knew something about the killing of
the COW, Brown Bros. came to town and
had warrants sworn out for their arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Tom johnson went out and
brought the boys in Wednesday evening,
and they were to have had preliminary
examination next dav, but neither side be-
ing prepared, the case was postponed until
to-day. L. w. Darling appe'rs for the
state and 7. 4. Lyons for the defense.
They stou'ly assert their innocence of hav-
Ing committed any crime, and we hope they
havnt, as their folks are among the best
people of the county. But somebody has
committed a crime, and ought to, AMI no
doubt will suffer tor it if detected and
proven guilty. The result of the examina-
tion will be given next week."

The Dawn Of a Republic.

LONDON, Feb 10-There are many
sIgHs that the country is Oh the eve of a
grave constitutional crisis. The question
of abolIshing the house of lords has be
come acute, and 1t now depends upon the
action OF the cabinet meeting to be held
ON Tuesday whether or not the contin-
u nee of the upper house shall be dis-
cussed in the first plank of the natl onal
hhrral federatloa's platform. Mr.. Cad
stone is unwiliing to lead campaign
against the peers. yet he may be forced
to it by "a combination of ministers in-
sistIng upon the necessity oil the issue
There is no doubt that IN the cabinet
many favor summary mod of dealing
with the lords. Csmpbell-B.nner-msn,
secretary of state for war, said IN aspeech
last evening at Newcastle that the ques-
tion was whether free self governing.
community or body of irresponsible
bered itary peers ought to prevail. Pro-.
fessnr Bryce, chaucel or OF the Duchy OF
Lancaster, said TO q liberal meeting in
Liverpool:
III the house of lords will force the
couHrct. we must clear away the bar on
which SO many vessels treighted with
useful legInariou have been wrecked"
SIR Charles Russell, attorney general.
in addressing the liberals of Wesssch,
saiu:
"Tbs question now is whether the
lerds, sitting by accident Of birth, can be
allowed to mangle an act passed by the
chosen representatives, OF the people"
These extracts from speeches of the
most conspicuous liberals show which
way the wIRd blows. Instead of home
rule, the abolition of tns house of lord:
is taking first place among the questions
OF the day.

NoK,nlsr nlnh.

An enthusiastio meeting of the Mckinley
club of this CITY was held at their hall last
Saturday evening. Mr.. B. s. Hunting gtcn
presided, and stated the object Of the con-
vention to be Reorganization for the cam
paign and the election Of officers. An in
vitation was given for all those who desired
to affiliate with Republicans to sigu the
constitution, and several came toward and
attached their names to the list. anong whom
were some who had not before aacted with
the party. Mr. Frank Mensfse was elected
president by seclsmation. and the same ac-
ton was taken regarding Mr.. N. j. Sinnott
as vice president; H. Il. Riddell. secretary;
and G.. v. Bolton, treasurer. On motion
the appointment of the executive comnit-
tee was p stponed until the next regular
meeting, and this was left with the newly
elected president.
This is the opening of the campaign on
the part of the Republicans in this city.
and there is every indication that 1t will be
the most successful OF any that has taken
place for a number of years. The Mckinley
club will do good work this year. and the
plan Of operations mapped out is expected
to be such as will insure harmony and unity
all members OF the organization. 1t is the
earnest wish Of many that these expesta.
items may be realized.

Evans and MoreII.

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 12-Deputy Sher'
ifs P. F Peck and Hi Rappeje returned
to Fresno yesterday from the pursuit of
Evans and Morell. 1t Is said that all
trace of the bandits have been lost. The
last trace of the outlaws was on top of q
mountain beyond Eshon valley the after
noon of last Wednesday. They were
then heading in the direction of the high~
er mountains beyond, and snow has
fallen till all their tracks were covered
The officers since that time have been
securing the mountains and canyons on
all sides, from the edge of the plains
back to the deep snow. None of the
settlers will admit that they have seen or
heard of the bandits, and the belief Is
that thay have made their way as rapidly
az possible to some other camp which
has never been discovered, and are lying
there in hiding, waiting for the snow to
go off the ground or for the officers to
leave the mountains.
