ing from debt into $4,000 shares of ten
dollars each, is meeting with hearty in
dorsement and cooperation. 1t is ex-
pected that thousands of dollars

tween now and then, but in any case
the work will be pushed with vigor,
and the young people are assured the
entire sum will be pledged before tbs

issued Friday that all lovers of Frances
Willard and the temperance cause send
their pledges to Miss Eva N. Shontz,

A GREAT STORM.
Heaviest Fall of Snow in Colorado IL
Many Years-Fear of an Avail
-:-s~ anche Mt Kokomo, Col. :

Denver, Col, Jan. 3O.-The snow
storm which has been raging on the
mountains since early last. week has
subsidized. The sun broke through the
clouds Sunday and the wind abated. In
some places the fall of snow has been
the heaviest in Is years. In and about
Leadville serious results are threat
eEed. The supply of coal and proYi-
sicns in the smaller mountain towns
has become exhausted, and suffering
must result unless the railroads can be
opened to the places. Snowslides are
reported from several places, but only
from Apex, where three were killed, has
come information of casualties. Infor-
nation from Kokomo is to the effect
that great masses of hard-packed snow
overhang the town, threatening it
with serious damage should they give
way. Kokomo was carried away by an
avalanche in the early SOS, and the res
idents are fearful lest this should be re-
peated now. The South Park road has
been tied up between Como and Lead
vile. Several days ago an attempt was
made to run train with provisions
westward through the snow. The train
stuck near Dickey, where it has re-
manned ever since. A. snowslide near
Hegerman tunnel on the Colorado Mid
land has blocked that road west of
Leadville, and trains to Glenwood have
gone over the Denver & Rio Grande
tracks. Between Como and Leadville
the snow has drifted in the cuts to the
depth of so and 40 feet. The only road
running west and east from Leadville
that has been clear is the Denver g. Rio
Grande. which has felt but little incpn-
vcrience from the Storm =.

DEVELOPED YELLOW FEVER.
Passenger From Key West Detained
at New York.

New York, Sept. 9.-The Mallory Line
steamer Lampasas which arrived from
Galveston and Key West on Thursday
last, brought ninety-six passengers. OF
whom sixty-six were panic-strioken fieers
from Key West.
Four of their number are now patients
at the Swinburne Island hospital. j. NJ.
Burley was sent there on Friday morning,
end has since developed yellow fever. The
other patients are Anna Zieme metbaum, Min
ME Zemetbaum and +. A. Golozoga, the
two former being sisters, young girls, the
other young man.
The last three named have not as yet
developed the disease, but their illness Is
very suspicious.
Sixteen other passengers were detained
originally, but were sent to the city to-
day. The Lampasas was detained at quar-
antine nearly two days, and received a
thorough cleansing and dlsinfection, the
entire ship being treated. and all the ef-
fects of the passengers and crew given a
thorough disnfection.
Investigation shows that all OF the pa
tlents were ailing before the expiration OF
the Ave days period of quarantine, and
all show evidence of yellow fever. Bur
leys is an unmistakable case, and Colo
zoga's Illness appears suspicious. Burley

to hold them indefinitely, thus making IL
possible to open the railroad on Luzon

stationed there and make available con-
siderable force for other operations.
