Blizzard at Chicago.

the annals of weather bureaus descended
on Chicago late Monday afternoon. 1t
sleet pelted down pitilessly. Untold dam
age was caused by the elements. When
night came the downpour of the mix
ture of snow and rain and sleet came
heavier and the wind. which was gusty in
the afternoon, rose to 4 gale. The streets.
the pavements and sidewalks were flood
ed to Ii depth of three inches with slush.
The storm made the pavements almost
impossible: street car traffic was seri-
ously interfered with; trolley lines were
broken with the weight of the snow; tele-
phone and telegraph wires were borne
down. broken and crossed until half the
wires i'll the city were made useless by
midnight. and communication with the
outside world was entirely cut off ex-
cept at long intervals Ends of broken
trolley and other electrically charge
wires dropped into the streets to the posi-

consuming Smoke.

Many central stations in which soft
coal is burned have had much trouble
from the quantity of smoke escaping
from the chimney. Injunctions have
been secured for the suppression Of
the nuisance, and it has, in some
cases, become apparent that either the
smoke alone or the smoke and station
together must be stopped. In such q
predicament engineers have been put
to. the necessity Of trying all manner
of smoke consuming apparatus, many
Of which have been found as inefh-
cient as they uneconomical. The
latest remedy proposed consists In a
device for removing solid matter from
the products Of combustion by means
Of a cold water spray at the base Of
the chimney. The SCOT goes away In
the water and is afterward collected,
while the gases are cooled to about $50
degrees Fahrenheit. AS this tempera-
ture is too low to give a natural draft
a fan is placed at the bottom Of the
chimney. The water spray is directed
on the fan, and thus the apparatus Is
kept comparatively cool and clean.
The system is unquestionably efficient,
but the tests for economy are not yet
forthcoming.

went the worse was the destruction.
Dead men and horses We're scattered
everywhere. In scnc places the hogs
were eating the bodies. In others the
hodies were gathered in groups and
rail pens built around them. Many of
them were terribly swollen; that is. of

ates were not so badly swollen. The

But as l was saying, the further
l got to the left the more dead l saw.
In one place it looked like l could
walk the length of a regiment on dead
bodies. l came to an orchard, where
a battery had been literally demolish~
ed. and men and horses lay about
thick. 1t was in an orchard, near a
stable. The guns were all lying on the
ground and the wheels all chopped
down. l learned that it was Parsons
eight-gun battery, presented to him by
the ladies of Cincinnati, and that the
rebels, who had captured it, being IN
able to take it off when they retreated.
for want of battery horses, chopped
it down with axes.
II then turned back toward my regi-
ment. On the way 1 saw where three
wounded men had crawled into a
fence and had been burned to
death by a shell firing a bed of dry
leaves. Near by lay the body of a
dead confederate, his breast having
been carried away by a cannon shot.
1t seemed that he had been eating
when struck. for in one hand was
clutched a piece of corn bread, which
softened by the rain, was oozing
through his fingers. In the other hand
he grasped a piece of meat. It was
q sad sight, and I moved on. It was
soon very dark, but l kept my direc-
ton by the line Of camp f1rers some
distance ahead. Pretty soon my feet
struck something soft and l stopped
down to feel what it was. My hand
rested OH something clammy. and inst
then q fash of lightning for an in

About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.

scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was
q very different girl from a physical stand

but it left her with an affection Of the back

DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con.
densed form, all the clements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow checks. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never
in loose bulk) at SO cents a box, or six boxes
for ~. 80, and may be had Of all druggists,
