STORM CAME FROM ALBERTA.
Where "Buffalo" Jones Went to Look
For the MUSK Oxen.

Saturday the weather bureau here
received the announcement that Topeka
would be visited by a blizzard ON Sun
day Observer Jennings and the State
Journal posted the forecast that all
might prepare and within half an hour
of the time the information was given
out the blizzard arrived and ragged dur
ing the greater part of the afternoon.
Then it was that Mr.. Jennings re-
ceived a telegram announcing the fact
that the date had been changed and
that the blizzard would arrive on Sat
urday, but everybody knew it by that
time. and it has been growing colder
ever since. The coolest point reached
Sunday morning was at 8 o'clock when
the thermometer registered two below
but it kept on going down and from
till it was six below.
This morning at 3 o'clock It was 27
above, but has fallen steadily since, and
at IL O'Clock was about 31s below zero,
with the wind making fifteen miles an
hour from the northeast. Saturday the
wind attained a speed of thirty-five
miles an hour.
The storm started in Alberta and has
been travelling southeast over the coun-
try Yesterday morning the barometer
here fell but today has been rising
steadily, which means clearer and colder
weather.
The street cars have been running all
day, but the wind blowing the snow on
the tracks has made the trips irregular
and in some cases the cars have had
to double up.
