after fifty hours duration. Two feet of
snow fell and is piled in immense drifts SO,
solid that several days will lapse before
streets are passablc. Snow plows and
gangs of shovelers were sent south, north
and west this morning by the Chicago and
Northwestern railway to clear the tracks,
while a rotary snowplow is clearing the
main track from Tracy to Huron. The
Great Northern is working from Benson to
WatertOwn and from Watertown here. No
fatalities are yet reported.
Chamberlain: Reports have not yet been
received as to the result of the recent storm
throughout the vast stock range lying be-
tween here and the Black Hills, but the.
losses doubtless will be considerably less
than from the Thanksgiving day storm.
No mail has reached Chamberlain since
Saturday night and the blockade will
probably not be raised until tomorrow.
Miller: The worst storm for years has
prevailed here for two days, clearing up
today. No reports can he had from the

MOORHEAD, MINI, Sept. 26 - The
westtound passenger train on the North

of here at an early hour this morning.
The express car carried a large sum of
money, which the ro bbers failed to secure
owing to a blunder in cutting off the cars.
The robbery was the coolest piece of work
Imaginable. Engineer Hoover, just after
pulling out of Elydon, noticed man on
the front platform OF the mail car. A few

tank and at the point OF a pistol told the
engineer to apply the brakes. The other
robbers came forward, bringing in the con-
ductor and brakemen.
All mounted The engine, which was
again started west The robber sat on the
tank and ordered the engineer to keep ner
moving. Not until the train reached
Moorhead was it known that the engine
and mail car had been cut off from the

discovered that they had not cut deep
enough into the train to secure the ex-
press safes, and they rapidly despoiled

life mas been described many times in the
Christian Register, as well as in other
papers, but no enterprising spondent
hard pushed for news saw fit to telegraph
the same to his home paper.
The statements | made are true, not
only of the small towns IN this valley but
Of all rural communities of the West, and
the conditions appear to Eastern eyes just
as l described them. From my childhood
Ihave worked for the good of the COM
munity, wherever my home might be, to
the extent of my ability and strength. No
one can be more proud of the vigor, en-
thusiasm, enterprise and achievements of
California.
But religious workers and reformers
cannot rNt a. ease upon past attainments.
1t is no disgrace that towns ten, twenty or
thirty years old have not all the refining
influences of older places which have. per-
haps, eliminated some of their objection
able elements by sending it west. But it
would be disgrace if we, who lived here,
did not make continual effort to send to
our homes the best infuen ces of the best
places In the world. 1t was to push that
laudable effort that 1 made my appeal for
quarrel with any church. Each has
place and work and all are working for
the same end /; their means, only, differ.
But if / disa gree with some of the doc
trines taught in other churches-if some
of their methods seem old-fashioned to
mel have perfect right 10 say SO in the
pa per of my own denomination, Those
differing opinions are what make me
Unitarian instead of a member of an
evangelical church. The sharp distinc-
tion between ball-goers and church men,
bers which | mentioned is certainly
drawn in the fifteen or twenty towns of
California that l know well. And it is for
those people who are especially the care
of liberal church that l made my appeal.
