storm as far as Kansas City is concerned
Is practically at an end. IT reached its
climax in point of low temperature at 7:So
o'clock this morning, when the mercury
fell to 10 points above zero. nearly 10 de-

the Union Depot behind time. The con-
ductors reported no serious trouble with the
snow. The delay was due TO the crippled
wire service, which made the running of
the trains hazardous and uncertain. The
trains were running on regular schedules
again tonight. But little news has been
received from Kansas points. but ii Is
