FIERCE STORM OF SAND.
It Blocks Railroads in Western
Kansas and Eastern Colorado.
HARDER TO FIGHT THAN SNOW.

Appliances for Battling with snowdrifts
Prove PowsrIess In Combating the New
Enemy--Bardships of Mon Compelled to
Work with Pick and shovel. ....
KANSAS CITY, April 9.--The railroads
have been battling with a new enemy in
western Kansas and eastern Colorado
since last Friday night. 1t was a combi-
nation sand and snow storm which swept
over those regions, completely dernoralis-
ing train schedules and causing serious In
conveniencas and discomfort to travellers.
The flakes Of snow and particles OF sand
mingled and were driven across the prhiries
at a terrific speed by tho gale which blew
necessarily for two days. There was no
loss of human life because the storm was
not accompanied by the usual degree of
cold, but many cattle md horses In west
ern Kansas are reported to have been suf-
focated by tho whlrling clouds of sand.
The sand and snow filled up the rail-
road cuts and buried the track. The snow
melted and the sand settled down in
hard unyieldinS mass Rotary snow
plows and all the modern mechanical ap-
paratus for battling with snowdrlfts were
useless against this new enemy and the
railroad companies were compelled to en-
gage men with pick and shovel to remove
the sand from the track. The work was
begun while the gale was still in progress,
and the suffering of the workmen is said
to have been intense. The particles OF
sand driven by a sixty-mile an hour wind
cut through the clothes OF the men and
perforated their skin like knives, few
hours work was all q man could stand
without seeking shelter from the blind.
iuu sufTncAtlnu a storm of sand
On board the belatsd trains the condi.
tion Of travellers was not much better.
Every door and window was closed to
shut out the sand, yet 1t sifted in persist
emily until the floors of the cars were Gov
cred and everything was gritty to the
touch. The air in the cars became hot and
sitting and the passengers In several In
stances were compelled to go without
food. The first train since Friday to reach
this city from Denver except the Burling-
ton trains, was the Missouri Pacific train
which arrived on Sunday. The Burling.
ton tracks were outside of the storm belt,
and it's train schedule WAS not affected.
The Santa Ee's Colorado train arrived
Sunday night after protracted battle
with sand and sn0w drifts. The Union
Pacific did not bring In single train from
Denver until o'clock this evening, when
the overland reached Union depot, No
Rock Island trains from the west reached
here until today since Saturday.
No direct wires were secured to Denver
until yesterday. There is every probabil-
ity that when reports begin TO come in
they will show that cattle on the ranges
have suffered great hardships, and 1t is not
improbable that considerable loss was sus'
tained by the stockmen,

fused to serve. not having been in the
state long enough to be eligible to the ONCE

Mr.. Watson, while Democrat has never
been Identified with the machine of the
party. He was elected senator on his own
strength and he has always been firm In
his convictions OF what was right. He was
opposed to the contests for the seats OF
Senator's Pierce and Moore and his attitude
more than anything else served to deter
the DEMOCRATS from making the contest.
Mr.. Watson is a great reader aud is
proud of having one of the finest libraries

THE BOARD on IT'S DIGNITY.
They Order An Investigation as Where Cer-
tain etters Came Froia.

tain etters Came Fro,a.
Members of the Board of Education were
seated in d seml-circle last night the desks
having been changed since the last meeting
night. The most interesting matter before
the meeting was the consideration of let
tiers which were received by members from
the teachers OF school No. Is in relation to
the payment of salaries for the blizzard
day." The letters appeared to have been
numerous aud number of members had
received them.
President Baird read the letter which had
been delivered to him. It was written in
sarcastic vein and said that the writer's
were glad that the rules were going to he
observed, but hope" that rule No. 40, re-
quiring the payment of salaries on the
first Thursday after the second Monday
would be observed instead of holding the
February salaries back until March IS.
Mr. Baird explained that he had written
to Miss Sayers. the principal of the school.
and had received an answer saying that
she did not know that the letter had been
written to members of the board, although
she did know OF letter that had been sent
TO another person.
Mr.. Bayuard had also received a letter
that was similar to that received by Mr.,
Baird, but toward the end of the letter the
writer became even more sarcastic than in
the beginning. In referring to the secre-
tary the writer spoke of Good Mr.. Man"
The board was spoken about as the august
body" Comments were similar to this:
I'VE keep pretty we'll posted on the law
out here. but contend only for the prin-
cple of the thing" In concluding the
writer's say: Come out and see us, we are
still very much alive"
DR.. Shortlidge moved that the matter be
referred t6 the Committee on Teachers for
! investigation.
Mr.. Morrow said he thought 1t would only
cause trouble and moved. to Indefinitely
| postpone.
| DR., Shortlidge said he considered 1t a
very serious matter. It seemed to him
that It raised a question who was going to
run the Board of Education. The motion
of Or. Shortlidge was finally agreed to.
Another interesting debate during the
session was on DR.. Crumbaugh's motion to
refer to the Committee on Fuel. Heating
i and Ventilation the May cleaning of school
! No. 81.
This provoked debate which was parti-
cipated in by several members. 1t was the
| old question, Dul IL was lnally ueclueu lhat
| 1t was the duty of the Visiting Committee
to attend to the cleaning of the school.
| Mr.. Baybard from the Committee on New
Buildings, reported that work on the new
| No. . school was progressing nicely and
asked that S72 due Edwin Talley for salary.
would be passed.
