A telegram from Kansas City, Mo-,
of the 25th, says: A severe blizzard,
which started at midnight last night,
prevails tonight, with no sign Of abate-
ment. An average of three feet of
snow had fallen at 10 o'clock tonight
and strong wind is blowing it badly,
blocking all kinds of traffic and caus-
great hardship to farmers. 1t is very
cold and much suffering must ensue.
From the territories reports of many
cattle frozen to death, and as the set
tiers are none too well provided with
shelter and food great distress and
doubtless many fatalities will be
recorded when telegraph facilities and
train transportation has again opened
up.
A Norwegian farmer living IL miles
from Chamberlain had a miraculous
escape from death while on his way
from that city to his home. 1t was
8 O'Clock in the evening when he
climbed into his wagon to go home.
A short distance north his horses left
the road which passes along the Mis-
souri, river bluffs, and in few min
utes the wagon, horses and driver
plunged a distance of fifty feet into
gulch near the river, the precipice be-
ing unnoticed in the darkness. The
Norwegian could not arise and re-
mained in stupor on the ground In
the intense cold for two or three hours
when he managed to reach town and
report the accident. 1t is remarkable
that neither himself or his horses
were killed.

Her last sickness was not painful.
She had not been well for a year or
more, but at no time was she confined
to the bed. During the last few
months a dropsical condition slowly
developed and suddenly terminated

ignorant of her peril, yet they were
much surprised and shocked at the
suddenness Of the enu. All that love
and skill could do for her comfort and
her cure was done. Her death was
painless and peaceful. At the early
age of twelve years she made public
confession of Christ and united with
the Baptist church. During period
of sixty-four years she has walked in
the faith and Fellowship Of the Baptist
brotherhood AT the time of her
death her membership was with the

On Friday telegraph reports were
sent out stating that one Overton had
located w. w. Taylor near Crawfords-
vile, Ind. that Taylor was at the resi-
dence Of cousin, very sick and that
the state authorities could have the
criminal by paying Overton $1,000.
OF course there was considerable ex-

the report might be true, but Over

comes the following telegram.
"The sensational locating of Treas
urer Taylor, OF South Dakota, by
John G. Overton ended in wind.
Overton took Marshal Grimes clear to
Rensselaer, last night to get Taylor
at the home of his brother-in-law,
Tom Mccoy. Taylor was not there.
On account of his supposed high in
telligence and prominence, hundreds of
people in and about Charlottesville
really believed Overton's claim.

did cannot be imagined. although

ceptional this year. With the exception
Of Lake county we have not . . de-
linquent tax list published that was
not from Is to 50 per cent smaller than
for several years past, and the excess in
this county was largely wiped out before
the day Of sale. So it will be in 1895, il
the law ID allowed to remain. There is
nothing burdensome in the tax going
over unpaid until next fall even il they
become delinquent, and another crop
will enable taxpayers to pay up before
the day OF sale as easily a they paid up
this year. It 10 much easier all round
for taxpayers to meet their taxes at the
appointed time from year to year than
to have one season extended to another
and then meet a double tax. Besides
the state needs its revenue promptly.
At the light rate of interest penalty now
attaching, taxes fall enough in arrears
without the Legislature assisting by an
extension of time.

LONG AND SHORT RANGE.


There are certain topics which can be
wisely handled by fallible men only at
long range. Whatever may be u opin-
ion on the subject discussed, the effort
to handle such a question Mt a suitably
long range is deserving OF credit. The
short range method is too much in
vogue. That often defeats itself. 1t
makes enemies, and conyinces nobody.
1t 10 apt to widen the gap OF alienation,
where conviction and agreement are the
goal desired. There are doubtless many
far better people than ourselves, and
loving the truth as dearly, who yet diff
fer toto cello from us on very important
issues. We need not therefore pull
Zach others hair; nor should we eve
reach a good understanding by SO doing.
We may disagree Is to whether the
moon is inhabited; but, for US to engage
ia personalities over the discussion OF
this high and lunar theme, is lunacy.
The truth Of things is not yet all so clear
but that we may honestly differ; and,
debating these problems at long range,
still retain our mutual respect. Person
al relations have no business in this
arena
Again, there is a class Of moral pre-.
cept advocates whom the short range
method is meat and drink. On any
other diet they would starve. That con-
tagiou disease which has been aptIy
styled "The seven years itch OF Puritan
ism," is not yet erradicated from our
American blood. Conditions seem to
favor it most on the frontier, and here il
flourishes, periodically. The good peo-
pie OF whom We speak have it bad.
Their n plan for constructing a univer-

such efforts, we'll meaning though We

Tow Nature AccunluIates the Great Stores
of Valuable Ore.
Tho process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must lie remembered that the eurth's
crust is full of water, which percolatcs
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These chemical solutions take mp
small particles of the precious metal,
which they find here and there. Some
times the solutions in question are hot,
the water having got SO far down as
to be set boiling by the internal heat of
the globe. Then they rush upward,
picking up the bits OF metal as they go.
Naturally heat assists the performance
of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith-
er below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities i'm the rocks, where
they deposit their loads or silver. This
is kept mp for q great length of time
perhaps thousands of y~ears--until the
fissure or pocket is filled up. Crannics
