GREAT Old SNOW.
KANSAS GETS THE BEST IN
YEARS.
Fully IS Inches Over Central Kansas
and Heavier Farther East and
West-Trains Have Troubles.

The heaviest snow in many years
was the one ending Tuesday evening.
Measurements varied from IS to "a
inches but none we're less than the
former figure. 1t has been a splen-
did thing for the wheat and though
stock in unsheltered yards has I'M
doubtedly suffered the rapid clearing
Of the skies will soon relieve the
danger.
The trains on the Union Pacific
have been double headers for the
past "a hours with snow plows on the
front engine. Even then they have
run 5 to 7 hours behind schedule
time. The Santa Fe freight was
stuck near Manchester Tuesday after
noon but after leaving some cars
managed to pull through. The
northbound Santa Fe passenger was
six hours late this morning. Had
the snow drifted not wheel would
be moving in central Kansas. Re-
ports east and west say that the
snowfall reached from the mountains
to Missouri and western Kansas was
equally blessed with other sections Of
the State.
The town went to work in earnest
this morning cleaning up the walks
and by noon the sidewalks were pass
able. The schools reopened and bus
mess frightened. A number Of
'sleighs were out this afternoon to en-
joy the best sIeighing in a long time.
The snow beat the record Of the
past ten years, The only storms ap.
preaching it we're Jan. II, 1894, -
inches, and Dec. I, 1892, II inches.

Populism as 1t Is.

The populist national committee in
lis meeting AT Lincoln, Neb., pre-
scented u pitiful spectacle. 4 large
ma jOrity Of the committeeman pre-
sent were simply l'ryaniies and in
favor of fusion At any price. They
are politicians and stand for what
ever expedicncy or bargain will fetch
The most Offices, Populism MS repre-
sented by them is only name and
but for the power of barter which u
separate organization gives them they
might as well be in the democratic
party
1t cannot be ignored that as po-
litical party in the nation its inhu-
ence is not only far weaker than it
was four years ago, and weaker still
than II was eight years ago, and its
prospects Of future strength or dom
nance have totally vanished.
IN the committee was q considera-
bic minority of members who stand
for populist doctrines and ideas as
enunciated in the old platforms of
the party. There is no question these
are the genuine populists and have
genuine convictions and principles.
However wrong and false their views
may be, they are not frauds. But the
minority Of the committee by an act
Of glaring violence refused to recog-
nize this minority and drove them
from the meeting. The result can
only be new enieeblement Of the
party and the plunging of it into
deeper contempt in the eyes Of the
American people.

Weight Of the Snow.

The City mills weighed snow Tues
day and obtained some astonishing
results. On the big scales north Of
the office measuring Ska feet at 1890
o'clock 500 pounds had fallen. Be.

100 pounds Of snow fell on that space.
At O'Clock $50 pounds was regis

Mr.. Harmon is wealthy citizen Of

organization in this country.
Mr.. Harmon inquired about our
old time citizens, Jacob Augustine,

and many others. He was the special

Committee Makes Important Arrange
ments for the Fourth.


At the meeting Of the Fourth Of
July committee last night considera-
Bile business was transacted. A number
OF letters were read from school teach
ers in the variolSs districts who write
that the school children and their par
ents will heartily support everything
in the interest OF Astoria's great cele-
bration. Besides. when they come.
they will bring their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts.
The matter Of accommodation is
now receiving the attention Of the
committee. All who have spare rooms
to rent win please notify Secretary Al
bert Dunbar, as the committee is go-
ing 10 keep a list for the information
OF visitors.
Headquarters viii be opened on Mon

to secure services Of young man who
can use a typewriter and who is polite
and energetic, to be at the headquar-
ters. II is hoped that some Of the

ply to Secretary Dunbar for the po-
sltion.
Dan McAllen writes from Portland

MUST WALK TO NORTH POLE.

For years have we struggled to reach
the north pole by ship. Through hard
ship and danger brave explorers have
endeavored to reach the coveted spot.
The fact that the pole is still mys-
terry points to the conclusion that our
method was wrong, and lends credence
to the recent utterance Of a learned
scientist that We must abandon ship,
copy the Esquimo's customs and walk
to the pole. The same commonsense rea-
sons should be applied to health.
There is only one road to recovery
for sufferers from stomach disorders,
and that is thruogh Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. If you have tried TO cure

liver or kidney trouble without it. you
have simply been on the wrong track.
