BLIZZARD IN THE WEST.
High Winds and SNOW suspend Railroad
Traffic and Damage Property.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. Oct 2z--Not In
years has there been such u blizzard
here as that which prevails at the pres
ent time. High winds that come in
streaks like waves of typhoon are
drifting the snow so that sidewalks in
places are almost impossible. Traffic
on railroads Is suspended and
telephone wires are down. Can
yons are choked with snow, and
1t is impossible to see 100
feet on account of the binding storm.
Considerable damage to property has
been done. Mining operations are
seriously impeded by the storm which
has been raging IA hours and continues
furiously with no sign of abatement
soon. The weather is very cold, and
it is feared there will be great suffer
ing among the poor.

DEATH RATHER

Dr.. F. de Kiedizycki Takes
Poison in the Vienna
Cafe.
He Was Hurried to the Receiv-
ing Hospital and His
Life Was Saved.
Financial Embarrassment Believed to
Have Caused the Attempt at
Self-DestruCtiou.

DR.. F. de Kiedizycki, physician who is
believed to have lately hailed from Cuba,
attempted to end his life in the Vienna
Cafe, 205 Kearny street, last evening. He
entered the cafe and called for glass of
hot milk. 1t was given him, and few
minutes later he fell TO the floor in con-
vulsions. 1t was Immediately seen that
he had taken poison, and the patrol
wagon was summoned. He was removed
to the Receiving Hospital and an antidote
was administered.
He soon recovered sufficiently to sneak
and said that he had taken twenty grains
of strychnine and ten grains of morphine.
The physicians at the hospital lid not ac-
cept his story as correct, however, as the
amount of poison alleged to have been
taken was sufficient 10 have killed
dozen men. That the physician took
poison, however, there was no doubt. but

not the only sinner in the medical pro-
fession of this town.
AS matter of observation it may be
mentioned that an editorial expression OF
the Journal should carry weight, for be it
known that the medical paper has an
editor and proprietor, u managing editor,
an associate editor and twenty-six cOllabo-
rators. The names, twenty nine ali told,
are printed in legible type at the head OF
the editorial department. The first ed j.
torial Under the aggregation of medical
talent bears this caption: Consumption,
Alcoholism and Quackery."
Here are the opening sen e1ces of the
leader: The quacKs of San Francisco
should blush. They have long fiaunled
cir usages and their virtues in the face
OF the public, and felt secure in a mo
nopoly which no member of the regular
profession would dare infringe upon. But
Herod has been outdone." Alter deplor-
ing the conduct OF doctors VINO had been
regarded as the Nestors OF the med ica |
profession, the leader pronounces ulti-
matum i'll this masterful style: "E he r

The Barnes-Kane controversy over the

One beiated passenger afforded much
amusement for the throng, but there wes
nothing In the incident TO promote his

after the ships gangplank had been
hauled away and saw but slender chance
of getting board. Frank Worthing threw
him a small line, but.the iardv passenger
did not grasp it. He wanted a surer
thing. and while he was me1itating some
one showed his handbag through the

whats that! High hats worn at the
theaters again? Well, I'll just attend to
that myself"
Dr. RottanzTs hot southern blood boiJs
at the affront.
1t is personal matter with the doctor
It was his brain that brought forth the
ordinance and his force that sent it
through to passage.
If Manager Hsyman thinks he can DEFY
the ma iesty of the law with impunity he
will find that the work of the Supervisor
from the Seventh Ward did not end when
the bill became law.
DR.. Rottanzi went 0 hear and see the
Italian opera last night. Possibly lie
might have heard it, but so tar as see
ing it is concerned that Is another story
There were others there, and some OF
those Othe rs were ladies who wore beau
tifuI dreams and artistic conieCtions on
their heads.
Because of the dreams and confections
the doctor could not see or hear the opera.
Not because he was behind hat, but be-
cause ne went 10 look or hats. In fact,
the irritation caused by the affront of
haunhng hats raised that in his breast
which the music even though at times it
sOothes the savage, could rot lull to rest.
Consequently, Dr.. Rottanz is gong to
make The hIgh-hat nuisance, which has
again become prevalent at the California
and Bald theaters, Personal matter.
He intends TO see to it that the ordinance
shall be enforced or he will know the
reason why.
And there are others. Hats that are
dreams when on the streets become night
mares when perched Oh dainty heads be-
tween the stage OF a tneater and the man
who has exDended 81 80 for q seat, expect
ing TO see play.
It's bad enough to hava to pay the mil
liners bill for your wIfes dream without
getting a stiff neck trying to look around
some body ese's nightmare. AT least that
is the way q married man talked about it
yesterday. He had been victim at the
opera, and was still Chatting.
One theatrical manager, a. whose house
the law is strictly complied with, SAID
there was no trouble about getting the
ladies TO remove their hats. People went
to see tue show, and not a millinery ex-
hibit. II it's a good show the managers
want ii seen. OF course if the shows bad
it's a good thing Tor the theater if the Ia
dies wear hats.
1t gives people some hing TO be profane
over and takes their attention from the
stage. Thus the bad play, poor actors
and negligent manager get off light while
the hats save the show and make
vicarious atonement for the sins OF
others.
Take, for instance, some of the freak
shows that Frohman has been trying TO
palm off on San Francisco audiences as
the genuine article. Those dreams and
CONNECTIONS are all that saved them from
open violence.
1t is but natural that the ordinance
isn't enforced in some theaters. They
need the side attraction at times to draw
off adverse criticisms

Trouble Brought About Through

Friend.
THOUGHT II WAS GOOD VENISoN.
Mummifed Redskin Served Up in
Ericassee at q
Feast.

There are six very much disgusted and
angry men in San Diego who are cannibals
through a most natural and somewhat
laughable mistake. And there is physi-
clan at present in Mend ocino County who
has scented trouble from afar and VIII in
consequence not return to that city until
it has blown over.
Emile J. Drummer of San Diego owns q
very large and handsome cabinet, in
which he has collected a number OF rare
specimens of Indian pottery and stone
work, this line of curios being his speci al
hobby.
Not long since DR. Harvey Griffin OF
New York, a friend OF Mr.. Drummer, came
to California and settled in San Diego
subsequently taking run up into the
mount tains of MendoClno tor his health.
Dur ing his wanderings over tue country
he came into posses ion of piece OF
mumm flied Indian, and thinking it a de-
slra bic acquisition to the cabinet OF his
friend, Mr. Drummer, rolled it uD Ill a piece
of newspaper and mailed 1t TO that gen.
tleman, intending at The same time to
write a letter and eXtol the value OF the
specimen sent.
But tarougn some mistake the package
went Its way and the letter did not a.
least, not until the niece OF Indian had
got days start. When it reached its
destination it WAS too late to save the
specimen.
Mr.. Drummer is extremely fond OF dried
venison. When he received the package OF
dark neat fo.ded Carefully iii a news
paper he naturally jumped to the con-
clusion that DR.. Griffin had kindly re-
mem bered that fondness and had sent
him a chunk.
Now, Mr.. Drummer is a cook of no
mean ability, therefore he at once set 10
work to COOK up the piece of buck-a
