OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 4.-Nebraska.
Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota and West

blizzard in the last thirty-six hours.
Railroad traffic is beginning to feel the
effects of this winters first snow en-

lines have been forced to suspend oper-
ations.
In Nebraska the storm has been gen.
eral. all over the State, the fall of snow
ranging from to 16 inches. Nebraska

storm has stopped the gathering of corn

moisture in three months and ending a
disastrous drought. Cattle exposed to
the blizzard, however. are suffering
severely, one-siXth of a herd of 600 en-
route to Topeka having been killed by
the storm.
Iowa cities report heavy falls of snow
and serious interruption to traffic, both
railway and urban. Des Moines reports
six inches of snow last evening, while
Centerville received two feet, suspend
ing street car traffic and delaying all
trains from two to five hours.
In South Dakota the storm has been
the worst in many years. In the vicinity
of Yankton fears of a general railroad
blockade are entertained, as the snow
is very light and of the drifting charac-

Western Illinois is on the edge Of the

H. c. Flipper of the United States land
court, who returned today from Hermo-
sillo and vicinity tells a story that will
dishearten all the seekers after wealth in
this new Ell Dorado.
He says hundreds of miners who have
spent the last few weeks along the va
qui river are now struggling to get out
and return to the United States. The re-
ports of gold discoveries there have
been greatly exaggerated. People who
rushed in seemed to think that a scoop
and a gunnySack were all that were
necessary to secure fortune, but, said
Flipper, while gold has been known to
exist along the Yaqui river for many
years. it is by no means poor mans

that both engineers and their firemen

way from the wreck through the blind

A WHEAT SQUEEZE
Minneapolis Elevator Men Engineer

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. At is
reported to the Chamber of Commerce
that the Peavy elevator companies have
made a combine with the Pillsbury com
panies and secured control of not only
the wheat in Minneapolis, but all the
wheat stored in elevators throughout
the northwest Mr. Pillsbury recently
predicted that wheat would go to $3.50
and this is consistent with the rumor
of a corner. If the story is true, Peavey
and Pillsbury can sit back and let the
price go where it will. They would be
independent of any price spectators
might make. The time for deliveries is
surely coming, and the grain men must
get their wheat somewhere in order to
make their deliveries, and If it is con-
trolled by the two gentlemen named
they will have to pay fancy prices for it.
No figures as to the extent of the cor
ner are given, but a grain man who is
known to be on the inside, says the story
