ALMOST A BLIZZARD.
Nebraska, Iowa and Other. States Re-
port Severe Storm.


port Severe Storm.
One of the most extraordinary storms
that ever disturbed the Western country
prevailed Monday might Though the meg
curry never passed the freezing limit the
storm was accompanied by such hurri-
cane that in many respects it resembled
midwinter blizzard. Not in the memory Of
the oldest inhabitant of Nebraska has
such storm occurred so early in the sea-
son. This snow was nearly sixty days
ahead of the usual time, and In intensity
it could be compared with nothing but a
January blizzard In the country districts
there is considerable uneasiness with ref
erence to the numerous bands of sheep in
the interior. Some apprehension is also
felt with reference to cattle on the range,
but the greatest damage will be to sheep.
The SNOW was SO heavy as to cut Off all
telegraphic communication with Chicago.
North Platte showed a temperature OF
"a, with NO precipitation. Dodge City,
Kan, had 80 degrees, with killing frost;
Santa Fee had 81 degrees, killing frost,
and clear; Cheyenne, Denver and Pueblo
each had Is degrees, with clear weather,
and Sioux City reported forty wind
and cloudy weather. The snow melted
about as soon as it struck the ground.
The unexpected snowstorm hit the army
posts in the Department Of the Missouri
very hard. With the volunteer soldiers
equipped only with summer clothing, they
were in no condition to meet the cold
weather.
The coolest October shown in the record
Of TWEEN ty-eight years in the Omaha wealth
err Office was in 1873, when the mean tenn
perature was 4S. The lowest temperature
recorded in the month during that period
was 16 degrees on Oct. 25, 1887, and the
heaviest snow for the month was four and
one-half inches ON Oct % 1894.

California Has the Biggest Bird.


The South American condor is no
longer the king of flying birds. The
rare California vulture, which is now
only to be found in the Cocopah noun
tains, holds the honor. 1t stands about
four feet high, though it is neither as
weighty nor as strong as many birds of
smaller size. 1t has much the same ap-
pearance as the turkey buzzard. Years
ago the California buzzard was quite
plentiful, but poisoned meat intended
for animals led to their extinction. 1t
is for this reason that the eggs of this
bird are now more valuable than those
of the great aux. There are fifteen per-
feet specimens of the latter known,
while only two eggs of the California
vultUre are preserved.
