in this section, which is still prevailing
tonight at a late hour Though in
measure anticipated it came as a sur
prise inasmuch as it did not appear
yesterday morning as announced it
would by the weather department. it
came, however, with full force and fury,
the gentle zephyrs of the early morning
changing suddenly to the cool and then
colder blasts which invariably are the
forerunners of a blizzard. At O'Clock

with ten more added at the noon hour.

is pronounced the most terrific storm
that has occurred here since the memor-
able blizzard of 1855, and it will be sing
uar if many casualties are not report
ed. Fortunately, but little snow ac-
companied the wind, the fall lasting
but a couple of hours, though it piled
up materially in spots favorable to the
dctlOn Oh Cne elements.
Many signs have been destroyed sew
eral chimneys were wrecked and a few
houses unroofed, and a strange occur
renee was the breaking of a number of
plate glass windows, occaSioned by sud
den contraction resulting from the rapid
change in temperature. 1t is impossible
| to keep warm tonight, and front
seat on top of a radiator Is held at a
premium. The town is deserted, many
of the citizens preferring the comforts
of a home to the frigid office or store
room, and the business portion of the
city presents Sunday appearance.
From the surrounding country comes
reports of prevalence of a similar storm,
and there is every indication that the
bowling norther is general in its scope.
A startling incident during the period
I Of the storm, iheh it WIS az its height
to-day, was an alarm of fire sounded
at II O'Clock this morning. by a singu-
| lar confusion of names and localities,
| the department was sent to the south
side to the home of William Kendall,
which was reported on fire. The fire
men braved the binding storm, and
successfully reached the destina ton
only to find that the alarm came from
the premises of Percy Kendall. on the
north side, distant about mile from the
first named residence. The boys, moth
ing daunted, hurried to the point from
whence came the last alarm, where
they discovered a burning chimney
which had about spent its force when
they reached there. No damage beyond
a badly frightened community and a
display of endurance by firemen and
horses in a tempest which can be better
imagined than described.

used to "embalm" beef furnished the

'I have told Colonel Pope" was Gem
eral Miles reply, that l appreciated his
patriotism and had great respect for the
public spirit which he displayed, but that
/ do not think it necessary to spend any
such sum to prove such patent fact that
the beef was embalmed. The evidence of
nearly 100 officers proves it. The reports
made to me establish it beyond doubt
My report was based solely upon personal
observation and the statements to me by
officers in whom have confidence. think
