st. Paul, Nov. 2S.-Human beings
have been frozen to death, cattle
have been stampeded and buried in
snow drifts, trains are delayed, /,
wires are down and the November
storm record is broken by the bliz-
zard that holds the northwest locked
in its chilly grasp. How many hui
man lives have been sacrificed can
not be told until the snow drifts
clear away, months hence. Men are
missing everywhere in the heart of
the storm. Some are known to be
dead and many are missing, with
the chances very much against them
being alive.

About the Shortage of Postmaster
Armour at Memphis.

About the Shortage of Postmaster
Armour at Memphis.
1t is now definitely settled that
Postmaster Robert B. Armour, of
Memphis, is $12, 1886 short in his ac-
counts and his bondsmen have made
good the amount.
Eight of the eleven bondsmen
paid 81 ,260 each, friends 81 400, and
Armour himself, $500.
Rumors of shortage first began to
float around Memphis about Nov. Is,
but the postmaster himself did not
make the fact known to his friends
until IN November, when he was un-
able to make the October remittance
to the government. Friends at
tempted to fix the shortage without
calling in the bOndsmen but were
unable to do so, and the bondsmen
were finally officially notified and
as stated, quickly made up the
shortage.
Armour began using the money
last March and has continued to
take miscellaneous sums ever since.
He secured the money by withdraw
ing it from the bank in which it had
been deposited to his credit and by
much maneuvering was able to have
on hand enough to make his remit
tances and save himself from dis
covery.
Just what became of the money is
yet unknown as Armour and his
friends refuse to say. The postmas-
ter did not gamble or deal in futures
and it is believed that he spent it on
politics, baseball, buying a home,
helping friends, unwise liberality,
etc.
The Memphis postoffice is now un-
der the supervision of Assistant
Postmaster Harris, and the service
is first-class in every way.

If New York is not to have the

is said that plans are already drawn
for an Office building 50 stories high

subcellars, making in all, 70 floors in
the building. There will be $500

THE success of Consuelo Wander
bilt, who little while ago bought
her an English Duke by the name of
Marlborough, and entertained the
Prince and Princess of Wales last
week at Blenheim Castle, will cause
vain dreams of possibilities for
American women in the minds of
shallow minded girls. There are
some, we are sorry to say, who had
rather shake bands with real live
Prince or Duke, than to be queen of
that happiest of all palaces, an
American Home. These sort may
yet take comfort however. While
Dukes and Princess are rather high
atpresent, we do not think it will
be many years before they will be in
reach of the ordinary pocket book

EVANGELIST MOODY, who is now
stirring New York from center to

II would like to see christian work

like to have a man like William
Jennings Bryan preach every day in
Trinity Church. Now, this may
seem strange, but Mr.. Bryan is a
good Christian, and L would rather
see him preaching in church than
presiding at the White House. He
would do more good preaching
Christ than being in the presidential
chair

HAVING won the possibility of a
Senator from Kentucky, the Repub-
licans are likely to spoil the pie by
quarreling over it. DIR, w. Godfrey
Hunter and Gov. Bradley are MAX
ing bitter fight. The Governor,
however, is master of the situation;
for it is with him whether or not an
extra session of the Legislature is
called. If no extra session is called,
then there will be no election until
the next Legislature, which will
probably be Democratic. Senator
Blackburn's term expires the fourth
of March next. 1t has been held
that the Governor has no authority
to appoint where the Legislature
refuses to elect, but the case was
not lock up as this is, and it may
be that Governor Bradley will risk
the legality of an appointment and
refuse to call the extra session.
Should the Governor refuse to call
an extra session and have no power
to appoint, Kentucky will have but
one Senator after the 4th of March,
until the next Legislature assemblies
and fills the vacancy, for Senators
do not hold over.
