Waco, Tex, Dec 5.-The blizzard
reached Waco at o'clock yesterday
morning much modified compared with
its work a degree further north. 1t
was pretty bad here on the prairies
and caused considerable suffering
among the cattle The fierce norther
was accompanied by sleet, which fell
fast and eakod hard on the ground, en-
crusting everything in a coat of mail.
In Waco sleighing was fair and the
jingling of the bells of the people in
cutters was heard on some of the res
idence streets
The temperature fell 4 degrees after
sun up and water pipes froze hard.
The big ornamental fountain on the
public suare was draped in icicles. The
city laborers were kept busy all day
clearing the crossings of the slippery
snow and sprinkling the sidewalks
with coal ashes, as walking became
dangerous on the northern exposures.
1t is the hardest spell at the beginning
of December in Waco for twenty
years.
Mckinney, Tex, Dec 4.-By far the
coolest weather of the season set in
here Thursday night and is continuing.
During the after part of the night a
mixture of snow and sleet fell accom-
panied by fierce north wind. The
thermometer stood fsom 4 to s degrees
below freezing point all day, and yes
terday morning early sank to IS de-
grees, or II below that of freezing.
People have generally remained in
doors by the fires and the town wore
a deserted appearance all day, there
being little business transacted. The
streets are slippery from frozen snow
and ice, while the landscape presents
bleak and whitened aspect not at all
in keeping with newcomers ideas of
southland.

Washington, December 6.-The reg
ular, or long session of congress, as 1t
is called, because there is n constitu-
tlonal limitation on the period OF its
duration, opens Mt noon today. The
leaders and a large majority of the
members of both houses are here to

journey to Washington from the bed

session robs the opening of the regular

thrills with excitement. The hotel lob

wake of the various candidates for
speaker, clerk, doorleeper, etc, the
members for committee assignments
and the air is full of rumors and plots
and counterplots But as the house

natural stimulus produced by the re-
turning statesmen, the regular hangers
on of legislation and the outlining of
schemes by members of the third

night was tranquil.
The programme of house today is
very simple and beyond the spectacu-
lar show which it offers in itself there
is little attraction. The house will be
called to order by the speaker, who,
after the chaplain's invocation, will
direct the clerk to call the roll. This
having been accomplished and the pres.

clerk will be directed to notify the sen.

of her vast interests are nawar of the
existence of such a document and serious
ly doubt that one was ever made. If there

and the manager of Mrs. Aliens estate. If
there is no will the estate will be divided

residing at Pittsfield are Thomas Allen, jr,
and Mrs. Maud Atwater.
Mrs. Allen before her marriage was Miss
Ann Russell. She was born in St. Louis
in 1924. She married Thomas Allen in 1912.
Mr.. Allen was the founder of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. the first owner of the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain 4, Southern and
the owner of the Southern Hotel. He was
elected TO Congress from St. Louis in 1880
and die soon after taking his seat. The
