one OF the Worst Ever known in That
Region RACES Over Wide Area.
Chicago, Ill, Jan. &c One of the
worst snow and rain storms which the
western States have ever known is rag
ing, and hundreds of passenger trains
have been abandoned. In mary cases the
passengers left the trains altogether and
locked to hotels and boarding houses.
In some States the storm began with
thunder, lightning and rain, followed by
hail aud then snow, winding up with all
the characteristics of genuine blizzard
The wind averaged seventy miles an hour
in many places, and did great damage to
houses of all kinds
severe cold snap is predicted, and
should the prediction be verified the effect
upon telegraph and telephone wires
throughout the West will be disastrous,
loaded down as they are with soft snow.
Chicago has suffered severely. I etter.
carriers in many instances have not peen
at lie to make their regular deliveries. 1t
began to snow here early in the morning
and continued all day. The public schools
were dismissed at noon, the teachers
deeniiqg it dangerous to hold an after
noon session for fear the pupils would be
unable to reach home.
In all sections of the city the street car
service was practically abandoned. The
wind blew SO sharply that issage alou q
the streets was almost impossible.

mittee on retrenchment last night in the
interest of that institution. The State
appropriates $4,000 annually to the uni.
versity. and those in charge of the insti-
tuition feel that it would cripple the in

by DR. Barringer shows that at the uni
v.ersity the State has plant. endowment
funds, and residary legacies valued at
