EVEN GOATS FROZE.
In Georgia During the Recent Cold
EpelL

Atlanta, Ga. Feb 24-The first au-
thentic and official report on the dam
age throughout Georgia by the recent
cold wave shows that the loss on crops
in this state will amount to several mill
lions Of dollars.
This report is contained in a special
bulletin issued by Forecaster Marbury
and is compiled from the reports of sew
eraI hundred correspondents scattered
throughout the state. The bulletin
shows that the cold wave of February
u and 13 was by far the most severe
of any on record. The temperature fell
to the zero mark almost to the southern
limit of the state while in the northern
counties it reached 10 or u degrees be-
low
Peaches were nearly all killed in the
lower counties as well as a number of
young trees, but in the northern coun-
ties there is reason to believe there will
be a medium crop. Apples have not suf-
fered to any great extent. PIums and
some varieties of pears have nearly all
been killed. One great protection to
grain was the covering of snow which
preceded the coolest weather. Stock
suffered immensely and in some coun-
ties cows and goats froze to death.
The recent cold spell though very dis
astrous in many ways will be of much
future benefit The freezing and thaw-
ing Will improve the condition OF the
soil and kill out millions of insects

Mr.. KipIing arrived here February 2
on the White Star Line steamer Ma
Jestic. He was accompanied by his wife
three children and a maid 1t was no
ticed at the time that he seemed to be
suffering from the cold. He was wrap
ped from head to foot in q long, fur
lined overcoat- His eyes were just visi-
bic over the rim of the turned-up, fur
collar. He was detained for nearly an
hour on the cold pier, while customs
agents ransacked the numerous trunks
of the party.
Mr. KfpIing had a taste shortly af-
terward of the rigors OF a New York
winter. The state OF the streets. the
great piles Of dirty snow, and the con-
dition Of the air following the blizzard
all contribute to pneumonia
Mr.. Kipling was born in India 1t is
hardly likely that his constitution was
ever acclimated to the rigors OF an
OF his publishers last Monday morning.
He then seemed to be in the best OF
health, but that night he was taken III
while at a dinner party. His physicians
are reticent- They do not wish to COM
init themselves to any more definite
diagnosis.

is nothing to add to what they have

The official Mormon report for the
states OF Illinois. Missouri, Iowa, In
diana. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
the two Dakotas and Nebraska, shows
that during the past three years 222
elders did missionary work there, Sc
curing 1 1876 converts to the Church OF
Polygamy. The Philadelphia Press,
printing the report Of the elders, says:
Here are over 1,1OO converts made TO
q church in three years in states where
there had been previously few IL any
adherents. This is only one OF the evil
dences, although a striking one, OF the
advance Mormonism Is making. When
the public was informed few months
ago that Mormon preachers had been
nobbed In the South the news created
only a smile of derislon. The matter
deserves more serious treatment, how
ever. The presence Of the Mormon mis-
sionaries in the Southern States is evil
dence OF the efforts making to spread
that faith all over the country. The
general opinion Is that Mormonism is
confined to Utah. This is erroneous. II
Is strong not only in that state, but In
Idaho and Wyoming and great efforts
are being made TO win converts in Col

all four OF these states, and as Nor
