HEAVY SNOWFALL IN THE
BLACK HILLS.
Wagon Roads are Clicked
and Trains are Delayed
triously.

Deadwood, s. D., Jan. 3l.-Not
for years has there been such
heavy snowfall in the Northern
Hills. The storm seems to have
been confined to higher attitudes
and to the Black Hills, for very
little Anow is reported on the
ranges. For six days snow fell
every day, and at times the storm
took the violence of blizzard.
The wagon roads in all directions
from Deadwood were drifted full,
and on the narrow gauge railroads,
which go to the mines, only half
of the time was it possible for the
trains to run.
At Bald mountain, the Portland,
Clinton and Ben Hur mines were
compelled to shut down because
the trains could not get to the
mines to take away the ore. The
big Tornado mine of the Golden
Reward company worked only half
a force of miners. No train reach
ed Grown Hill station, at Ragged
Top, for four days. The spearash
passenger train was late every day.
In Deadwood the snow is from
two to three feet deep, and up in
the mountains it is four feet on
the level. The weather remained
warm throughout the storm.

This is how a Bartlett, Tex, re-

marriage: Thursday was q most
beautiful day. Not cloud feck-

a mantle of gold on the earth. II
was 3 winter day by the cycles of
the earth; it was 2 summer day by
the temper Of the air, the pulsa-
ton of hearts and the smile of ra-
diant faces. While unseen angels
sang the marriage anthem, visible
forms whispered DER and DER the
old, old song of love that the heart
fosters through the valleys over
grown with shsdowy trees.''

The Union Pacific made a
change in the time card Of it's fast
westbound passenger train yester-
day that practically cuts Of all
connections with the early pas
senger train from Chicago exoept
with those of the Northwestern.
Taking advantage of the earlier
arriving time of the Northwest
ern's Overland limited, the Union
Pacific began yesterday morning
to send it's fast train out of this
city 20 minutes earlier than form
erly; its new leaving time has
been made $40 q. M, instead of 8
O'Clock, to correspond with the
Northwestern's arriving time OF
7:4O o'clock. This change pre-
cludes the possibility of connec-
ton with the Bur'ingt ,n's fast
passenger, No. s., which arrives at
ESQ o'clock, ten minutes alter the
Union Pacific has left, and the
Milwaukee,. train, which arrives
at sos o'clock.
The change caused quite little
stir in local railroad circles yes
terday and is construed as the be-
ginning of a still closer traffic ar
rangement between the North.
western and the Union Pacific
To some of the roads it came en-.
tirely unexpected. In speaking Of
this one of the local officials of the
Burlington said: "Our road had
no notice of the change at all; the
Union Pacific violated the usua'
custom in this respect, for it is 6

May Regulate the Speed,

Mx0y 4tO8 A4CkV0 Vx0 A010O0s
Iowa Capital: These fast trains
that are now tearing across the
state of Iowa at such terrific
speed are not appreciated to the
fullest extent by all members of
the travelling public. It is not q
day of absolute safety in rail
travel, and the enquiring ones are
wondering what would happen if
one of the lightning chasers should
happen to strike a broken rail one
of these frosty mornings, which is
often the case with such sudden
changes Of temperature as there
has been for the last week.
At the present schedule which
was started this week by the
North Western, Burlington and
Rock Island the time will be much
faster than any of the trains are
low running in the east, 80 that
overland passengers travelling
from New York to San Francisco
will think their trip through the
wild and woody west is a hair
raiser compared to the time made
in the east. A man can leave Chi
cago after the opera and get break
fast in Omaha, and If he likes get
shine and shave before he
reches Denver. One of the state
officers was heard to remark the
other day that the possibility of
accident was 80 increased by the
addition of these rail scorchers
that it might be that the roads be
asked to con6ne their schedules to
q certain time limit. This opinion
may be shared by others of iowa
lawmakers so that one of the pos
sibilities of legislation might be a
law regulating tho maximum rate
of speed of passenger trains. In
the meantime the warrior annihila-
ton of time continues.
Railroad Down to q Science.
Omaha Bee: On many of the
large transcontinental lines rail-
road economy has been brought
down to science. Officials have
statisticians whose business it is
to figure operating expenses down
to the lowest possible point, and
to work continually with view of
cutting down unnecessary expenses
at all points. Officials know each
day what the business of the en-
tire system is in all leading lines
of traffic. Reports come in every
morning, showing the number of
cars of the different commodities
moved during the previous day,
with comparison for the corres-
ponding date last year. Compan-
les which have perfected this
system always know where they
stand. On some Of the large
systems NO such reports are kept,
but most of them are gradually
] getting into it.
