SNOW IN THE SOUTHWEST.
A Fall Of Six Inches in Son


A Fall Of Six Inches in Some
Places.
Kansas City, March 29.--Snow, in
many places the most severe of the
year, was general throughout the
southwest last night and AT some
points fully six inches covered the
ground.
In Oklahoma the storm assumed the
proportions of blizzard. sleet and
snow falling. ii is believed that the
storm will benefit the growing wheat
in Kansas. while i'm the territories it is
feared that the fruit suffered.
st. Joseph, Mo-, March 2s.-Four
inches OF snow fell here last night. 1t
is the heaviest snow so late in the
season since 1876.
St. Louis, Mo-, March 29.-Since yes
terflay afternoon five inches of snow
has fallen in this vicinity and through
out sections of Missouri and southern
Illinois. 1t is still coming down here.
The weather is extremely cold for this
time of year. 1t is feared that garden
truck will be an almost total loss, and
small fruits. except strawberries, will
be damaged considerably. Reports
from Oklahoma say that apricot, pear,
plum. some peach and cherry trees are
in full bloom, and practically all the
fruit in the territory has been killed.

Topeka, March 3O.---Coione Fred
Funston. Of the Twentieth Kansas
volunteers, has again shown his gall
lantry by swimming Il river with

One day inter leaving college he hap

At Little Rock and the editor had to

md the NEXT day there was double

me had supported the democrats of
Arkansas and Pulaski county i'm the
oast in spite of their plumbers. but
hat now its patience was exhausted.
Henceforth ii would deal out repub-
lican doctine. Well, that editorial
shook the town." The editor lost no
time in returning. and when he got
home the young man from Kansas was
without a job.
During the next few years he joined
several expeditions organized by the
government for scientific purposes. II
was such AN expedition that led him
TO Death Valley. and later to the Alas
kan coast to gather specimens of it's
flora.
Along in 1895 Colonel Funston went
TO Cuba. saw General Garcia. engaged
as AN insurgcnt and fought The Span
iards. In a short time he was given
charge of the artillery of the patriots.
He fought i'm scores of engagements
with such Nigor that the exploits of lei
lnglese. as he came to be nicknamcd,
became known of every Spanard He
was the friend not only of Garcia, but
of Quintin Bandcra. Jesus Rabi. Gomez
and other famous chiefs. Ultimately
captured by the Spaniards, he was sent
back to this country on parole. When
the war broke out he rendered his
services TO Governor Lecdy. of Kansas,
who promptly made him colonel of the
Kansas regiment.
Colonel Funston is small of stature.
but sturdy of build. The adventurous
life he led for a dozen years has left
him still Il gentleman. The worth OF
this veteran of Cuban campaigns was
not ovcrmeasured when Governor
l.eedy gave him his commission. l.v-
erybody who knew anything of Fun

self if he was given the opportunity.
His exploits i'm the Philippines demon
stlate how we'll his friends understood
the man. Colonel Funston is barely 30
