WINTER STARTS EARLY
IN THE LAND WHERE WINTER
MEANS STORM
The Mississippi Valley Region suf-
fering With a Blizzard Which
Breaks All the Records

CHICAGO, Oct 25.-The worst gale OF
the year set in this afternoon and at mid
night was still raging.
Immense damage was done throughout
the city and telegraph and telephone wires
and i'll some instances street car lines were
compelled to suspend operations after 9
o'clock in the evening. Many trees were
blown down. The only accident SO far re
ported is the wrecking Of the timber-lader
bark Isabella Sands. The bark broke away
from her rug at the mouth of the Chicago
river and was carried down to the outer
harbor. Her crew was taken off by the life
saving crew and the bark left to her fate.
She struck off Sixteenth and will be pound
ed to pieces before morning.
Springfeld-A blizzard struck this city
this afternoon, the temperature falling from
"a to 80 degrees, and tonight snow fell fol
several hours, the fall being at times heavy
Galesburg-A blizzard has ragged here
since noon Snow is falling, traffic and
business being stopped. 1t breaks all rec
ords for this season of the year. Wires are
down in every direction.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 25.-This part O.
the State was visited by the second snow
storm of the season this morning. The wine
blew gale all night and the snow fell to the
depth OF two inches.
Kansas City-A fierce snow storm is
raging in the southwest today. AT some
points snow covers the ground from two to
four inches. The storm began at midnight
last night and, accompanied by a strong
wind, has prevailed since with increasing
vigor. Telegraph communication has been
interrupted to an extent and other mlnol
damages done. At Sedalia the heaviest
snowstorm known in the history of Central
Missouri for the month OF October is re-
ported.

GREFLEY'S REPORT
Continued From Page One)

sells arrived at Santiago de Cuba. Have
notified admiral commanding (Sampson),
The Spanish flagship arrived at Santiago
de Cuba. The admiral (Cervera) hastily
wired Madrid
''On the following morning he added the
following: 'Pelayo and four cruisers in San
tiago No destroyers or torpedo boats ar
rived there
"This information was communicated i'm
mediateiy to the president, and by his or
ders to the secretary of the navy, who, be-
ing impressed by the assurance of the chief
signal officer of the army as to the entire
reliability of this report, proved himself
equal to the emergency, and on that very
day gave such prompt and effective orders
as resulted in the blockade of Santiago and
the ultimate destruction of Cervera's fleet"
THE DAILY DISPATCHES
The report says that Colonel Allen fur
nished cipher advices of the most valuable
sort from Santiago almost daily. He first
reported that the Spanish squadron was
short of coal, and did not renew it's supply
at Santiago, and also that the unarmored
American cruisers off the Cuban coast were
mistaken by the Spanish for the main
American feet, proving, says General
Greely' "the wisdom and efficacy of Adj
miral SIMPSONS orders by cable that the
fast unarmored cruisers of the navy could
perform good duty off Santiago
The report then adds:
"-A cipher message reported correctly that
Admiral Schley was that day at Cienfuegos
and Cervera was at Santiago. Meanwhile
the navy had been unable to verify the
Tact of Cervera's presence at Santiago, and
as result the correctness of the information
furnished by the signal corps was sharply
questioned. The chief signal officer, being
informed that the whole campaign was con.
Quoted upon his representations, was asked
to verify the information from other sources
if possible. Prompt action was taken by
the chief signal officer, who adopted such
lines of operations that thereafter there
was scarcely day he was not in possession
of information of some kind or other COM
ing over one of the six circuits leading out
of Santiago

In, Iowa

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. pa driving snow
storm prevailed all day, reaching tonight al
most the proportions of a blizzard. Traffic
is much delayed and the wet snow inter-
feres with telegraphic and telephone service.
CEDAR RAP1DS.-The worst October
storm of snow ever experienced in Iowa pre-
vailed here today, approaching at times to
the severity of blizzard. 1t is the hardest
storm ever experienced in this state on the
telegraph and telephone companies. Wires
and poles are broken down in all directions.
The city was practically cut off from the
outside world all day. Tonight the weather
is much colder.
BURL1NGTON.-The worst blizzard in
years prevailed in this locality today and to-
night. Not a wire was working out of Bur
lington most of the time. Lines are pros.
trated everywhere. Snow and sleet fell for
over five hours, demoralizing telegraphic and
telephone service. Many miles of tele-
graphic>wire are on the ground in this city

Wallace's Circus in Los Angeles

The great Wallace shows do not need an
introduction to the citizens of Los Angeles.
They have already established an enviable
reputation, and if onehalf of the amount of
praise bestowed upon them by the press and
the public regarding the exhibitions pre-
sented this season be true, the good record
and impression made by their former visits
to this city will be more firmly established.
For the great Wallace show represents all
that there is of legitimate work in the circus
business. 1t is in charge of men who as
pire to elevate and purify the atmosphere
of the calling. Not only is the performance
up to the highest professional and artistic
standard, the menagerie large and varied.
and the trained animals Of the best, but
there never has been in connection with the
Wallace shows single one of those discred-
table and demoralizing features which have
done so much to give the circus bad name
and to discourage the true friends of that
otherwise wholesome form of amusement.
Exhibitions will be given in this city next
Monday and Tuesday.

general.

what they had," replied he.
